University Dally Kansan
'Hawks Regain Big 8 League Lead
By JIM SHELDON
Kansas Sports Writer
There is an old basketball saying that on any given night, any given team can beat another. Saturday night was one of those given nights.
Nebraska was the "given" team as the fourth place Cornishups upset first place Kansas State University in Manhattan, 58-4
Second place University of Kansas almost tell victim to a similar upset, but managed to move forward.
one KU win coupled with the K-Steal loss moved the 'Hawks back into first place in the Big Eight, one half game ahead of the Wildcats. The two teams will face off on Thursday and the winner will advance to the NCAA regional tournament in Tulsa, Okla.
As the Big Eight race stands now, KU can win the title outright if it beats K-State, regardless of the outcome of the KU-Missouri game on Saturday. If the Wildcats should win at Lawrence (their last game), KU could still tie for the title by beating Missouri, but the Wildcats would go to Tulsa by virtue of having beaten the Jayhawks wins
In short then, KU can thank Nebraska for the favor, but the 'Hawks must beat KAT

KU Gymnasts Fall to Sooners
The University of Oklahoma gymnasts team spoiled KU's final home appearance of the year Saturday afternoon with an 183.00-152.95 victory at Robinson Gymnastium.
The Sooners, undefeated and ranked fifth nationally, proved that specialists are their strength by winning all six individual events. Al Overton of KU won the all-around competition with a score of 47.75, edging out Jerry Hinkle of Oklahoma by 35.
The 152 score, though respectable, was the lowest for the Jayhawks in the last four meets. Coach Robert Lockwood expressed disappointment at his squad's performance.
Lockwood cited John Whitehead and Brad Barker for their efforts. Whitehead turned in his personal best in the long horse race, where he won KU's men on the parallels bars with a 9.06.
The Hawks, now 3-3 for the season, will face a short week of practice before traveling to Colorado to meet Northern Colorado University on Friday night and the University of Colorado on Saturday afternoon.
State to qualify for the prestigious NCAA tournament.
"The Nebraska win just makes it a one game deal. We know that if we beat K-State, the Nebraska win will be our biggest victory."
Kivisto said that the 'Hawks still had room for improvement and that KU might be the best team in the league.
"The other teams in the conference have already peaked out," he said. "Many of them have already played their best games, but we are still improving and we haven't played our best game yet. I hope it comes on Wednesday night."
In its two recent wins, however, KU has not shown much improvement. KU played poorly but still won at Nebraska, 51-46 on Tuesday and then squashed by Colorado
"You have to realize that the other teams have played well, but we have been sharper than what we've shown in the last two games." Owens said.
Neither Colorado nor KU were sharp in the first half of Saturday's game. KU hit for a 38.4 per cent average from the field and the Buffaloa only 35.5 per cent.
KU warmed up first and jumped from a 44-42 lead to a 53-44 margin early in the
Colorado, however, came back mostly on the shooting of forwards Dove Logan and David Kelley.

COLORADO (68)
KU called a timeout and designed a play to force the ball inand then throw it
then give it to Roger Morningside sliding underneath. He was then supposed to look back outside. But when my man backed off me, I just decided to shoot it."
"We really didn't care who took the last shot, as long as it was a good one." Owens
As it turned out, freshman Cook ended up taking the shot from about 22 feet.
The Buffs had three final shots, including two close-in tip attempts, but could not get the ball past them.
32 38----70

Cook, who had been suffering from a cold in recent games, broke out of his slump and led KU along with Rick Suttle with 18 points. Cook, who was also celebrating his 19th birthday, shot 67.3 per cent from the field and also pulled down 7 rebounds.
