The “comeback” of 6-foot 11-inch Jerry Jung was rudely interrupted. He got four points. Parks High. é Main Missouri delights were Ned Parks and his 24 points, Norm Stewart and his 18 and BobeReiter and his 15. A sub- stitute, Nugent Adams, led Kansas State with 18. He was the only tough board man, too. | Getting back to Iowa State, the Cyclones came here as a lightly-regarded team and left with a great many friends. People think, with some breaks, they could be tough. Duncan and Gary Thomp- son, who usually do it, led Cyclone scoring and Stan Frahm was his usual _ self, which means he rebounded vigorously and played defense like glue, It took a little over 25 slow- moving minutes for the taller Cyclones to destroy the zone defense Oklahoma had erected in honor of Duncan, but. they finally got the job done. Don DeKoster, starting his first game at forward, opened : an early lead with a couple of |! longs and up until 15-10 the |: Sooners kept alive on free throws. Fourteen _of their first 25 points came that way until Jimmy Peck, 5-9 guard, got hot and brought his team into the game, at 21-21. Holds Ball. Once in this strete Sooners had set so , their zone that Stafe’s Larry Wetter simply g center line, dribl lahoma was willing to chase him. Neither team shot consistent- ly in the first half, which ended with Oklahoma ahead, 36-35. The game see-sawed: early in the second half until Jerry Sandbulte‘ fired the. Cyclones into a 53-43 lead that held. This lead ruined Oklahoma’s zone. | _ Peck, the fast boy who was put on Thompson, started the job with no fouls and -wound up with the maximum | five in 6 minutes. : Naturally, when the game hit the three-minute mark, - Iowa State went into a stall, featuring Thompson — and Frahm. Gary gave the 10,500 fans in Municipal Auditorium @ show. Folks around Roland, who used to think he was some stuff, would have found it delightful around here. Everybody seemed to think that. If there’s one thing Gary can do it’s to dribble. ‘Coach Bill Strannigan’ used | only seven” men, Iowa State’s ' sixth victory in eight starts. Scoring was balanced except for Larry Wetter, who drew a blank. a peice he’s one of oy best... f A shifting man-to-man de- 'fense held both Lane and Peck ‘to nine.

Lane Also Stars — Coach Bruce Drake’s Norman Nubbins were the toast of the open- ing night card as they flashed a spirited brand of play to register their first victory in five games this season. Sharing the hero’s mantle with Peck was Lester Lane, the other ~ member of OU’s sizzling backcourt duo, who racked up 31 points to ead all scorers in the two. Mon- day night matches. Lane, playing in his fourth Big Seven .tournament, kept the Soon-_ ers in contention through the last half with a brilliant exhibition of jump-shooting from aroynd the top of the circle, but it fel¥ to Peck to fork home the winning = Lester Lane, who georea si puis to lead both teamsf shot the Soon- ers into contentiofl after they. fell j i the Buffs with six minutes\remf : Twice it Wee Lane who was sup- posed to shoot for the tie-breaking ‘basket as time -ran out, but -he didn’t. get a chance either time. With the score tied at 68-all in reg- ulation, the Sooners kept the ball 3 minutes and 20 seconds and then weren’t able to get the shot.. ~ Lane started a drive with seven seconds to go, was stopped and. had to pick up his dribble. He passed off, got the ball back and the buz- zer caught him with the ball in hand. Lane Puts Sooners Ahead ‘In the overtime Lane put. Okla- pine in front, 70-68, with a long jump shot after 1:15 elapsed. Mick Mansfield, a substitute who wasn’t even listed on the program, pulled Colorado within a point with a free shot with 3:25 to go. The Sooners then went into their freeze again, but it was twice broken up on fouls by Mel Coff- man, Buff forward from Ponca City, Oklahoma. The first time Coffman fouled Lynn Hart and. the Sooner senior missed both attempts. Peck was fouled the next time.and hit one of the two for a 71-69 lead 45 seconds before the finish. Colorado swept back determined- ly and Bob Jeangerard connected from 20 feet out to tie the score ‘with 30 seconds showing on the (clock. | Oklahoma, handling the ball well ‘and working cautiously, moved up ‘across the midline as the seconds ‘ticked away and with about five seconds left Lane was ready to fire. But again he was covered tightly -and had to flip the ball quickly to ‘Peck cutting toward the head. of the keyhole. Peck, the little sopho- ‘more from Leedey, grabbed the ar and shot in almost the same ‘motion. The ball darted through ‘the net and seconds later Peck was ‘mobbed by the jubilant Sooners who hoisted him to their shoulders and paraded around the auditorium ‘floor for five minutes. Lead Changes Cften The lead changed hands 18 times and was tied on nine occasions as Oklahoma and Colorado go: the ninth annual conference mixer off to a thrilling start. Colorado, outmanning the Socn- ers by a wide margin on the boards with its big height advantage, had to go 11 minutes before claim- ing its first. lead. This margin came during a spurt of nine con- secutive points which wiped out an 18-14 OU advantage-to move the Buffs ahead, 23-18. It appeared at that point Colo- rado was ready to take command but the Sooners braced, fought back for a 28-27 margin as Fred ‘Muller, Sam Thompson and Lane set the offensive pace. OU hung on to trail only 37-35 — at intermission and moved ahead again early in the second half, During one three-minute stretch just after halftime the lead | tee- tered nine times as the rivals ‘scored each time they went down court. With 8 minutes to go Colorado ‘began another surge to out - score (Continued on Page 12, Column 4).
