Slow-down offense confronts KU
Long noted for foothall, the Nebraska Cinnahorkers are making some noises on the hill.
The Cornhuskers, 14- overall and 3-2 in Big Eight play, will host the streaking KC team.
Basketball fever has hit Nebraska this year. In the team's last two home outings, Nebraska fans have turned in record numbers. Another record crowd of nearly 15,000 is expected for tonight's game, which starts at 17:35 p.m. in the NIU Sports Center.
KANAS 5-0 in conference play, takes a七、九 road record into Lincoln, where the Cornhawks are 9-1. The Jayhawks' one road loss this season came against four rallies Arkansas on Dec. 22. On Jan. 14, the Cincinnati's Cornhawks their only defeat at home.
The Jayhawks, as they did last Saturday, have the opportunity to deal a league contender their third conference loss. The Jayhawks' 65-2 win over K-State Saturday dropped the Wildcats to three games behind the Jayhawks' 5'-0 nace.

The Jayhawks played sluggishly in their win over K-State but secured their eighth win in a row. This moved their record to 15-2 and jumped the Jayhawks to sixth in the United Press International's basketball league, ranked eighth in the Associated Press poll.
Nebraska, like K-State, will do everything in their power to slow down KU's high-powered, fast-break offense. Coach Joe Burke said the team would be played at a slow, deliberate pace.
"M I S UE Nebraska will attempt to keep us from playing our game," Owens said. "I 'd not want to get into a slow-moving game with them. For us to be most effective, we need to get the ball off the boards and run with it. That will be a key."

Owens may have the strategy pinpointed. Kansas is averaging 43.8 rebounds a game to lead the league, and Nebraska ranks last in the conference with an average of 38.4 a
The Huskers have been a hard team to understand this year. Not expecting to be strong this season, they race to a 10-4 record—the best start in 62 years. KState Corksburgh and Cornhoppers turned around and dealt the Wildcats a rare defeat at home—a con-
TOPEKA (AP) —A plea for Kansas State and the University of Kansas to schedule basketball games annually with Wichita State was renewed in the Kansas House yesterday by a representative from the state's largest city.
After knocking off K-State and jumping to 15th in the national rankings, Nebraska was uptweet twice, by Colorado on the road and Iowa State at home. But NIU bounced back to beat Oklahoma on the road and Missouri at home.
Owens acknowledged that NU would try to slow down the game.
Rep. Ben Foster, R-Wichita, introduced a resolution that would ask the heads and athletic directors of the schools to consider scheduling games at least once each season.

"The state of Kansas has within its borders three major universities which have the tradition of being basketball powers in the midwest," the Foster resolution saves.
