'Hawks Nip'Huskers in Second-Half Rally
By DON PFANNENSTIEL
Assistant Sports Editor
The win kept KU one-half game back of the Kansas State in the Big Eight Race. KState also last night, 68-67 over Missouri at home and won the league mark. KU is close behind at 10-1.
It was not until the 11:09 mark of the second half that a tip-in by Tommy Smith gave KU the lead for the first time since Corsair's third half trailed the Cornhuskers, 24-19 at half-time.
Smith's tip-in was followed by eight straight KU points and Nebraska came back
with the help of the "Hawks cold shooting from the free throw line and the field. The Cornhuskers regained the lead, 40-39 with 5:20 left in the game.
BUT KU), on the strength of its double post offense and offensive rebounding, fought back to grab the lead and held on for its 10th conference win.
"When we inserted the two big men, we caused them to have problems," KU Coach Ted Owens said. "During that time we outlived them, plus they were missing shots."
The Jayhawks' first-falsh play was characterized by poor shooting and the inability to get the ball to its big men inside. From the 11:02 mark until the 5:31 mark in game two, Nebraska scored eight points at the same time, Nebraska scored eight points and jumped out to a 19-14 lead.
Nebraska increased that lead to 24-15 with 3-24 left in the half.
"I knew if we could close their lead to five or six before the half end, we'd have a

chance," Owens said. "I was delighted when the half ended that we were only five percent."
"Nebraska played fine defense in the first
OWENS didn't totally blame the KU squad for its poor first-half showing, in which it shot 30 per cent from the field and was out-rebounded. 19-15.
half," Owens said. "We did have a lot on open shots from 15 feet, but they just didn't fall. I just can't imagine one can shoot that poorly and still win."
For the first three minutes of the second half, KU slowly cut Nebraska's lead with aggressive defensive play. During this time it was apparent the Hawks were unable to take a second shot or grab the offensible rebound until Owens installed the double post.
"Down the stretch it was the offensive rebounding that won the game for us," Owens said. "They out-rebounded us by five percent and we end our rebounded them by three."
IT WAS evident that Rick Suttle, Danny Knight and Tommy Smith made the difference in the second half. Of the final 14 points scored by KU, the triad had 12 of them.
Many times throughout the second half, KU had several chances to capitalize on its lead but the poor free throw shooting kept the game close. After KU went into the one-and-one situation with 7:29 left, the 'Hawks' held only one of seven one-and-one situations.
"We want to win the championship so bad we finally let it affect us," Owens said. "It feels so good I could cry. But it is to our game we finished the game strong as we did."
Last night's game was KU's first in eight days but Owens was quick to point out that the team's play couldn't be attributed to the laffov.
"We played hard," he said. "We just didn't move on offense. I'm immensely proud of these guys, because it takes us to shoot as poorly as we did and still win."
Artificial Turf to Be Issue in NFL Contracts
MIAMI (AP) — The big stumbling block in upcoming contract negotiations between the National Football League (NFL) club owners and the players' association may be the refusal by each side to listen to what the other has to say.
John Thompson, executive director of the NFL Management Council (NFLMCC)—the league's governing body yesterday he was confident that a players' strike could be averted and cautioned that for reasons of strategy one side or the other may go into next month's bargaining hardness.
One major issue will be continued and expanded use of artificial playing surfaces. An independent committee on artificial turf and player safety, commissioned by the board of players, is presented at the outset by the players association, its findings at a news conference.
JOHN BRODIE, A committee member who retired at the end of the 1973 season as a quarterback for the San Francisco 48ers, has been asked to recommendations, including standardization of artificial playing surfaces, wouldn't be enthusiastically received by the players' association and that an attitude could extend to the bargaining table.
findings to be 'rejected for political reasons' because it was a moment which meant
ALSO ON THE committee as members or consultants were former Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr and linebacker Ray Simmons, who was played by Sayers and Dan Fortmann, one colgate and Bears' star lineman, Joseph Tors, Fred Allman, Allan Ryan and Robert Kerlan.
The committee recommended stan-
dardizing all artificial turf playing surfaces, consideration of local weather when scheduling games in certain regions and discontinuance of the conventional football the probability of the committee said increased the probability of a serious ankle or ankle injury.
SAN DIEGO (AP)—University of Kansas linebacker Don Goode was signed by the San Diego Chargers Monday. Terms of the football League contract weren't disclosed.

Soccer Player Champion In Superstar Competition
Thompson said the NFLMC and the NFL Players' Association, headed by executive director Ed Garvey, would open a new facility in the association headquarters in Washington.
Good, 6-foot-2, 224 pounds, was the Chargers' second-first round choice and the 15th player picked in the recent college draft. He was a co-captain of the Jayhawks and was picked to play in the East-West, Liberty and American bowl games.
ROTONDA, Fla. (AP)—Kyle Rote Jr., a 23-year-old ministerial student and soccer player, won the $2,000 first prize in the 1974 superstars competition yesterday and gave American kids a fresh, new image of the sports hero.
THEY'LL MEET AGAIN 26 for what Thompson called "a clarifying session," when management will have a chance to clear up any questions about the demands. From then on, the meetings will be held during talking between New York and Washington.
Thompson said he believed money would be a major issue in the upcoming talks. But he asked Kheel, the NFMLC's general labor bureau, to look more closely at the "player's freedom."
Rote began his two-day grind by winning the first event, tennis, and followed up with first places in swimming and bowling and spotups in golf and the mile bicycle race.
"Life has been good to me. I don't intend to keep all this money for myself, I want to share it," said the boyish 6-foot Teen after winning three of the seven events in which he competed and finishing second in two others.
He outscored such athletic giants as Dick Anderson, star safety of Miami's Super Bowl football champions; O.J. Simpson, record-snapping ball-carrier of the Buffalo Bills; pole vaulter Bob Seagran, the champion; Bob Cindyann Redd, massive shot-putter Brian Oldfield and a pair of Olympic stars from overseas.
On a 10-7-4-3-1 scale for the five top
inblers, Ralea assisted 44 points with three
thumbs.
