'Huskers Edge KU for Indoor Crown
By EMERSON LYNN
Kansan Sports Writer
The strained muscles were too much for the University of Kansas track team Saturday night. Showing unexpected strengths in some events and disaparency in others, eight point shorts and Nebraska won the Big Eight Indoor Championship with 82 points.
As predicted by KU coach Bob Timmons, the deciding event of the meet was the last one—the mile relay. And KU's mile relay team, the track and field clubs, did not produce the needed points.
Behind Nebraska and Kansas came Missouri with 31½% points, a half point ahead of Oklahoma State in fourth and one point in front of Colorado, which placed fifth. Kansas State was sixth with 26 points, Missouri with 16 and Iowa State was eighth with nine.
TIMMONS said the "Hawks did better than he had said in expected of the events but he lamented the loss of hurrier Bob and the inability to keep up. He had beaten counted for strong new formations."
"It might have been a different meet if they wouldn't have been hurt," Timmons said. "But you can't replay the meet, and there is no way to really tell. It's just one of those things that happens to someone at each meet."
Borkessel, counted on for strong performances in the low hurdles and the mile relay, pulled a hamstring in Friday's preliminaries of the 60-yard high hurdles. Hoping that it would not be too serious, Borkessel tried again in the low hurdles.
But the pull was too severe and he was dropped from further competition.
Lewis also pulled a hamstring. In the middle of the 440 finals he pulled up lame, only four events before he was scheduled to run the mile relay.
GOING INTO the mile relay the Jayhawks were down by two points. There was no alternative—they had to beat Nebraska to win the meet.
The newly assembled foursome of Tom Scavuzzo, Jim Euell (replacing Lewis), Phil Stepp (replacing Bornkessel), and Mark Lutz were never in the race. Scavuzzo led, badly favoring a brushed foot, and the rest of the team was unable to pick up the host ground. Nebraska won the race and Kansas failed to place and took second.
“Granted,” Timmons said, “Some of our men didn’t do as well as we would have hoped, but overall, I’m really proud of them.” The game last. It was just the breaks of the game.“
When the meet was over, 11 Jayhawks had placed in the meet and Terry Porter was named the meet's outstanding competitor.
ALTHOUGH PORTER appeared to be confident and vaulting well, he said he didn't think that he vaulted as well as he should have.
"This is an unusual place to jump," he said. "There are so many distractions. Plus, I think the track is a bit bighogg- everything seemed too slow. But I can't be
Although Scauzuzo fattered badly in the first leg of the mile relay, he had a stellar performance earlier in the 440-yard dash, taking a first place and qualifying for the NCAA Indoor决赛 with a time of 49.5, his indoor best.
completely negative. I won and I'm happy about that."
Before the meet a prediction chart was drawn, listing each event and which runners in the League were expected to place. One of the stronger areas for KU was the success of Greg Gregg, Vandavare, Delario Robinson and Bornkirch were each figured to host.
However, Vandaveer replaced some of the lost to boot by burning the low hurdles with jessican sage and jessica cornish.
AS IT TURNED out, Borknessel was physically unable and Robinson had a poor day, placing four in the low hurdle and failing to place at all in the high burles.
Having performed better than he had all season, Vandavaeer seemed to be set for his next race, the 60-yard high hurdles. But with only three seconds left before win and the building excitement, the senior hurdler was a bt anxious and on his first start he jumped the gun. Trying for the second time, he held back to avoid getting too late and had to settle for fourth place.
In the Friday night preliminaries, the 'Hawks had qualified 10 people, just about the number that they had expected. But they didn't. They scored all of the shot put finals to end as they did.

'Hawks Try To Reverse Losing Trend
Saturday night Oklahoma State became the victim of Missouri's John Brown's finest all-round performance. Brown became the ninth-time leading scorer by scoring 41 points, and also grabbed 19 rebounds as the Tigers overcame the tenacious 'Powers.' 79-73.
Still trying for its first victory in five games, the University of Kansas basketball squad will complete its Oklahoma road tour tonight when they are entertained by the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Stillwater. Toffle will be at 7:35.
The Jayhawks have now lost four straight games. Their last win was in Allen Field House on Feb. 17, when they spotted the same OSU Cowboys a 17 point lead in the first half before fighting back for a 75-66 victory.
SATURDAY NIGHT IN Norman the Jayhawks fell short at the buzzer after the Sooner's Russel Burkes down two free throws, and the game, to give Oklahoma the win. 60-58.
The contest was another poor effort for the 'Hawks. Although they finally outrebounded the opposing team, 45-38, they committed 27 turnovers, 18 in the first half.
Jahawkw coach Ted Genski said that Jahawkw again guilt of grille triack.
"You have to credit OU's defense," Owen said. But we were a little frantic.
"Maybe."
The Cowboys have had even more problems than KU this season. The 'Pokes currently own a 2-10 conference record which puts them in last place. Last season the Cowboys finished with a 2-12 conference record.
The Jawkways now stand at 4-8 in conference play. The Hawks have one game remaining, so the Hawks will
Dale Greene was the only KU player in double figures. The 6-2 guard, who just recently broke into the 'Hawks' starting lineup, finished with 16 points. Rick Suttle and Danny Knight each finished with nine points and together totaled 29 rebounds.
KU never legged in the second half and was once behind 47-35, with 11 minutes to play.
