6 Thursday, February 5, 1976 University Daily Kansan NU free throwing downs KU Staff photo by DAVE CRENSHAW By STEVE SCHOENFELD Associate Sports Editor Cook guarding Wildcat Saturday That alone tells why the Jayhawks were nipped by the Cornhuskers. 57-84, here last night. LINCOLN, Neb.—Look at the free throw statistics. Nebraska: 25 of 31. Kansas: 22 fouls. Nebraska made more trips to the foul line than California, who were connected on 20 of 37 free throws in the second half. MOST OF THE 7,832 fans at The Coliseum spent the entire game simply moving their eyeballs from one foul line to the other. And it was usually the Big Red they were watching. "Look at that," said Ted Owens. University of Kansas coach. "They made 25 free throws, God, that凯 The free throws enabled Nebraska to move into a tie with Missouri for first place in the Big Eight race. Both teams have 5-1 marks, after MU's loss to Kansas State last night. FREE THROWS PARTICULIARLY killed KU when it was ahead by six points, 29-23, early in the second half. The Jahawks kept fouled Jerry Fort, Nebraska guard, and between his free throws and buckets from long range, the Huskers had turned that deficit into a 41-33 lead early in the second half. "We stepped doing what gave us the lead." Owens said. "We wanted to get the ball inside, but we started out by dropping it back on the ground." THE HUSKERS HELD on the rest of the way, scoring almost entirely from the foul line. Nebraska's 12 list points were free throws. They didn't score a goal after Fort put them ahead, 45-35, with 8:44 to play. But that didn't matter as long as the Huskers kept hitting from the line. Their free throws spiked a KU defensive performance that limited the Huskers to only seven field goals after intermission. NEBRASKA ONLY MADE 16 field goals in the game, the fewest Kansas has allowed this year. "They were penetrating." Owens said, "and we stopped them pretty well with our zone defense. But in the end they had to leave." Fort, a 6-3 senior guard, was the chief thorn in KU's defense and received 16 second-half points, including 10 from the four. moving, and as a result they got a lot of foul shots and a lot of offensive boards." STEVE WILLIS, WHO DIDn't start the game because of the flu, also hurt the Jayhawks in the second half, but the Raptors' defense was better. Cook hit three baskets at the end of the first half to send the Javahws ahead by two at halftime. 25-23. "KU IS JUST MURDER inside," said Jce Cipriano, who attended those offbeat boards. That's their biggest strength. The Jayhawks played brilliantly in the first half. Norm Cook, 8-6 junior forward, and Paul Mokeski, 7-foot freshman center, got behind the Huskers for easy buckets. But in the second half, the Jayhawks quit working the ball inside. Kansas scored only four points in six minutes, from 16-47 left to 10-48, in the second half. They scored only four more points during the next four minutes. By that time, they were behind by eight. 47-39. ALTHOUGH UNHAPPY about losing, Owens was the Jamaican player to play and 10-8 against the Big Bight greats. "The K-State win kept us in the race for the title," he said. "We would have been in great shape if we could have won."

But Angie Wagle isn't an ordinary freshman performer for the women's gymnastics team. Midway into her first season for the University of Kansas, Wagle has won the all-around competition in three of four games. She also teammate Rene Neyville in the other. The all-around category consists of four events: vaulting, balance beam, uneven ladder and ladder jump. HER COLLEGIATE SUCCESS has squared off to an unde- manded start. Wagle was recruited from Kapau-Man, Carmel High School in Wichita by Ken Mayer. "I watched her once last year in a high school meet and contacted her after that," Sullivan said. WAGLE SAID SHE had been contacted by both Arizona State and Wichita State before the shooting. Wagle said she became interested in gymnastics as a student in high school and then began to be the coach. "Arizona was just too far from home," Wagle said, "and 'Wichita was too close." "I learned most of the tricks myself then, using a padding beam," she said. "I started working all-around in the summer and then competed in that event my junior and senior years of high school," Wagle said. Wagle has advanced quickly for a gymnasium because of the hard work she puts on. She is also the most experienced. "I LOVE GYMNASICS." Wagle said. "You get something out of it. It's like being an actress or something. You get a neat feeling." Besides capturing firsts for the Jayhawks, Wagle said her goal was to qualify championships this season. The nations will be in Boone, N.C., the first week in April. To advance to the nationalists, Wagle needs greatly improve her scores this March at the NCAA tournament. SNOW SAID of her chances, "It's within gymnast the realm of possibility, but it'll be tough" the realm of possibility, but it'll be tough" the realm of possibility, but it'll be tough" To qualify for the national meet in the all-around event, a performer would have to score 36.0 or better in regional competition. To qualify in a special event, a gymnast must score at least 9.0 and place in the top three at registrals, he said. Walgreens' season high in the all-around came last Friday against Central Missouri. HER BEST CHANCE for a trip to the nationals appears to be in the balance beam event, Snow said. Wagle has shown promise of improving her top score of 8,35, he "My favorite event is beam," she said, "I hate vaulting." Wagle's long-range goals also include vaults. "I hate to see someone perform bad gymnastics. I can't think of anything worse." "Right now I'd like to be a high school school, but only wrestlers, no pro girls," she sayed. American pair close to getting Olympic silver INNSBRUCK (AP) - East German teams set records in both the men's and women's huge events yesterday, and a Colorado couple moved into third place in ice dancing as the 12th Winter Olympic Games opened in this Alpine capital.
