This would give KU a fourth-place tie with the Tigers, while a four-game sweep would vault the Jayhawkers into sole possession of fourth place, and possibly a higher finish, depending on the outcome of other league games.
Kansas' Jayhawkers will be seeking to rise above the .500 mark in Big Seven play Saturday night when they meet the sixth-place Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln. However, the Jayhawkers possibly will encounter a problem they have faced the past few years—the difficulty of beating the Cornhuskers in the Nebraska U. Coliseum.
Last year, KU was edged 66-62,
and two years ago, the Big Seven co-tillists were forced to the limit before posting a 67-62 victory. Past scores are not the only indication of Nebraska's tenacity on its home court.
Even if Kansas does win Saturday, it's not likely that it will move into fourth place ahead of Missouri, who entertains last-place Oklahoma at Columbia. In order for KU to escape fifth place, the position in which it finished last year, Missouri will have to lose one of its remaining three games and KU must win three of its last four games .
At any rate, a victory Saturday is a must if the Jayhawkers are to hang on in the Big Seven race.
Leading the attack against the stunned Cyclones were Jim Kubacki with 18 points and Rex Ekwall and Chuck Smith each with 16 points. When the Huskers lost to KU two weeks ago, 80 to 56, Kubacki and Ekwall were the only Nebraska players to score in double figures, and as long as they were hitting, Nebraska stayed within striking distance. Ekwall and Kubacki scored 21 and 10 points respectively.
Lambda Chi Given 1st Loss
Two Fraternity A and four Independent A games were played Thursday evening with Delta Chi and Alpha Kappa Lambda winning in the Fraternity Division, and Cats, Oread Hall, YMCA, and AF-ROTC posting victories in the Independent Division.
Delta Chi, led by Mike Rogers and Forrest Hoglund, who scored 21 and 16 points respectively, upset a previously undefeated Lambda Chi team 47 to 44. Dick Walt and Larry Myers with 17 and 14 points paced the losers.
Bob Conn scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half and led the Cats to an easy victory over Jollife Hall. 59 to 25. Don Sparlin was high score for the losers with 9 points.
YMCA defeated Stephenson Hall 34 to 27 in another Independent game. Howard Fleetwood and Billy Maddix were high for the winners with 15 and 13 points respectively. Phillip Heinschel hit 11 points for Stephenson.
Scoring victories by forfeit were Oread Hall over Rock Chalk Co-op, AKL over Phi Psi, and AFROC over Varsity House.

Showdown For Skyline, Pacific Coast Leagues Tonight
By UNITED PRESS
Showdown battles in two tense conference races probably will steal the basketball show tonight from national champion San Francisco's attempt to win its 47th straight game.
San Francisco is figured a shootin against a Santa Clara team that it walloped by 74-56 in a previous meeting. That will leave the Dons just four games away from a perfect regular season before going into the NCAA tournament for a title defense.
Castellani To Fight Tonight
NEW YORK —(U.P.)—Rocky Castellani, an English-styled American, and Johnny Sullivan, an American-styled Englishman, will fight tonight at Madison Square Garden in a middleweight TV-radio 10-round. Castellani of Cleveland, fifth-ranking contender, is favored at 2-1 over England's unranked but dangerous Sullivan, ex-British champion.
Potsy Clark coached the Kansas baseball teams in 1922 and 1923 that won the Missouri Valley Conference baseball titles.
it will just about wrap up the league title, although each still will have three games to go.
But at Provo, Utah, the blue chips will be down in the Skyline Conference race when second-place Brigham Young (7-3) plays host to first-place Utah (7-2). If Utah, which won a previous clash by 82-63, wins again.
UCLA, unbeaten pacemaker of the Pacific Coast Conference, risks its 10-0 mark at Long Beach, Calif. against Oregon in the opener of a two-game series. Second-place California (8-2) will be hosting Washington and rooting for Oregon.
