Four dominate Big Eight stats
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)— It's easy to see why four teams are tied for the lead in the Big Eight Conference with one loss each.
It's easy, that is, if you look at the team statistics. Kansas State, Oklahoma and Nebraska dominate the figures. The other leader, Missouri, ranks in the first division in all but two of the eight statistical categories.
NY Knicks far in front in pro race
(By United Press International)
So, break up the Knicks.
Somebody better stop the New York avalanche before the Knicks players begin to think they're invincible and believe they can finish the National Basketball Association season with an 81-1 record.
New York won its 12th game in 13 starts Tuesday night when the Knicks clobbered the Phoenix Suns, 116-98, behind Willis Reed's 34 points. The NBA record percentage is .840 achieved by Philadelphia when it posted a 68-13 won-lost mark en route to the league title in 1966-67. The Knicks currently have a .923 percentage.
Connie Hawkins did his best to keep Phoenix in the game, but his 39 points were merely second best in the Knicks' camp.
Philadelphia beat Chicago, 113-109, Baltimore routed San Francisco, 124-105 and Seattle downed Detroit, 116-102, in other league games.
Philadelphia remained $41\frac{1}{2}$ games behind New York in the Eastern Division as the 76ers overcame a two-point halftime deficit to beat Chicago. The Bulls lost a chance to tie the game with 13 seconds remaining, but Chet Walker lost the ball before he could get a shot off. Walker had a game-high 28 points. Archie Clark led Philadelphia with 22 points.
The Baltimore Bullets got double figure scoring from four of its starters and finally cracked a slump that threatened to plummet the team into the Eastern cellar. Jack Marin led the Bullets with 26 points, two less than the 28 pumped in by San Francisco's Jeff Mullins.

Kansas State's aerial circus, with Lynn Dickey at the controls, leads Big Eight passers (239.1 yards per game) and scoring offense (37.3 points per game). The Wildcats have put 261 points on the scoreboard in compiling a 5-2 record.
Oklahoma, with Steve Owens setting records left and right but mainly up the middle, leads the conference in rushing (276 yards per game) and total offense (421 vards).
Nebraska's forte is defense. The Cornhuskers' defensive unit, labeled the Black Shirts by the red-coated faithful, leads the passing defense, total defense and scoring defense. Nebraska is allowing only 105.3 yards through the air per game, 260 yards total defense and 12.7 points. Much of Nebraska's consistency on defense can be traced to middle guard Ken Geddes, an all-conference linebacker last year.
Kansas State is the rushing defense leader, allowing only 111.4 yards per game.
Missouri, which hosts Oklahoma in the Big Eight's showdown game this week, is near the top in almost every category.
For instance, the Tigers are second in rushing defense, third in scoring defense, rushing offense, passing offense, total offense and scoring offense.
After Dickey's bombardment of last week, however, Missouri is last in passing defense and fifth in total defense.
