IOWA STATE
With their title hopes bolstered by a 91-86 victory over Kansas State Saturday, the Kansas Jayhawkers will attempt to stay in Big Seven championship contention tonight when they play the Iowa State Cyclones at 7:35 p.m. in Allen Field House.
The KU freshmen will play an intra-squad preliminary game starting at 6 p.m.

Was In Top Ten
Iowa State was ranked among the nation's ten top team sn AP, UP and INS weekly polls before its loss to K-State. Couch Bill Stranman's team first drew national attention when it handed Tulaa and Vanderbilt their first defeats of the season. The Cyclones then disposed of Kansas, Colorado and K-State to win their first Big Seven pre-season tournament.
Defend Field House Record
Although losing to K-State and beating Oklahoma by only three points, Iowa State still is considered a top contender for the conference title, mainly because of 5-foot 10-inch guard Gary Thompson. He is averaging over 20 points a game for the season.
Coach Phog Allen's Jayhawks will be defending an undefeated record in Allen Field House tonight. Kansas victims since the field house was dedicated last March include K-State, Oklahoma twice, Northwestern, and Southern Methodist.
Besides Kansas State, Iowa State was defeated by Denver 62-65 for its other loss. The Cyclones

Buffs Vault Into Big 7 Lead By Beating Missouri 79-72
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (U.P.)—Colorado, surprise victor over Missouri last week end, was out in the lead in the Big Seven conference.
Colorado showed signs of repeating last season's rise from obscurity by whipping Missouri on strategy and steadiness, 79-72.

Iowa State, back on track after the K-State loss, downed Oklahoma 58-55 on a 20-point production by little Gary Thompson. The Cyclones held a nine-point lead going into the last four minutes but the Sooners' Jimmy Peck hit two fast field goals to cut the margin. Big Seven Standings:
Forward Mel Coffman held Missouri guard Norm Stewart to 15 points, and the Tigers had to count on Lionel Smith for points. 27. Forward Jim Ranglos sparked the attack with 17 points, but it was teamwork and team shooting that enabled Colorado to hit 40 per cent from the floor and win.
