By JACKIE JONES
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
The Kansas swimming team came through with two victories and a pair of losses in a meet with Nebraska, Colorado ar. radio A&M at Lincoln Friday and Saturday.
The Jayhawks, under Coach Walt Mikls, did an outstanding job in taking both of the Friday events, but were unable to continue the pace on Saturday and lost both of these contests by narrow margins.
The Kansans turned in their best performance in the 400-yard free style relay, winning in three of the four meets. The team of Mahlon Ball, John Ashley, Dick Eflin and Robert Wellborn turned in a 3:58.5 in this event—good enough to defeat Nebraska twice and Colorado.
Dick Effin, a Wichita sophomore, led the Kansas point parade with five first place victories and four second or third spots. His best performance was in the 100-yard free style where he took three firsts,
Unbeaten Teams Clash Tonight
New York—(U.R)—Duquesne and St. Bonaventure clash tonight in a meeting of the nation's two remaining undefeated major college basketball teams.
The Dukes ruled a slight favorite to preserve their spotless record because the showdown will be staged on their "home" court at Pittsburgh gardens. Coach Eddie Melvin of the Bonnies, who played for Duquesne as a collegian, maintains that "dead" spots on the garden court offer a handicap to visiting teams.
Each team has won 16 straight games. Duquesne will have a height advantage, furnished chiefly by six-foot-seven sophomore center Jim Tucker and six-foot-six forward Dick Ricketts. The methodical Dukes also are ranked one of the nation's best defensive teams.
But the rough-and-ready Bonnies, led by Bobby Sassone, Bill Kenville, and Leo Corkery, are deep in bench strength and are rated the speedier team. St. Bonaventure has beaten each of its opponents by at least nine points.
St. Bonaventure ran its winning streak to 16 by beating Cincinnati, 67-55, Saturday night. Duquesne has been idle since it beat Niagara last Wednesday.
Kentucky, ranked the nation's no.1 team last week by the United Press board of coaches, clinched the Southeastern conference title and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament by beating Georgia Tech, 93-42, Saturday night. It was Kentucky's 14th straight victory, its 10th in a row in conference play, its 19th in 21 games for the season, and its 107th straight triumph on its home court.
Iowa upset Illinois, T3-68, to gain a tie for the Big Ten conference lead in the only surprise development among conference leaders during the weekend. The Huskies, who are tied for first place with 6-1 records, Illinois plays host to Michigan State tonight while Iowa entertains Michigan.
In other games involving conference leaders, Washington ran its Pacific Coast conference (northern division) record to 10-2 by beating Oregon State, 54-37; Kansas State made it six in a row in the Big Seven by edging Missouri, 55-52; Cornell scored its fifth straight Ivy League triumph by beating Yale, 71-61; Texas took over first place from idle Texas Christian in the Southwest by beating Southern Methodist, 57-49; and Wyoming scored its eighth victory in nine Skyline games by walloping New Mexico, 84-48.
DePaul came from behind in the last five minutes to upset Oklahoma A&M, 53-50, as a Hank Iba-coached team suffered its third strong defeat for the first time; St. Louis trounced Notre Dame, 80-58, and St. John's of Brooklyn ran its record to 17-2 by beating Niagara, 58-55, in other major games.

Nebraska won the 300-yard medley relay, but Perkins came back with first in the 200-yard free style. Ashley won the 50-yard free style. Arch Unruh took first in the diving and Effin won the 100-yard free style. Dean Glasco took third in the 200-yard backstroke and Charles Orthwein took second in the 200-yard breaststroke.
Colorado fell to the Jayhawks 49 to 44 on Friday as Ashley won the 50-yard free style in :25.8, Eflin took the 150-yard individual medley in 1:48.1 and the 100-yard free style in 6:38. Dallas Chestnut took first in the diving and Ball, Ashley and Eflin took the first three spots in the 440-free style. The winning time in this event was 5:28.1.
Against Nebraska on Saturday the Jayhawks were unable to come through and fell to the Huskers 55 to 38.
The Kansans were able to capture only two first places. The 440-yard free style relay team won in 4.01 and Eflin took first in the 100-yard free style with a 57.8. Ashley and Ball took second and third in the 100-yard trials and Brown won the second and third spots in the 440-yard free style. The Jayhawks also picked up several other second place spots.

Kansas 'B' Squad Defeated By Kansas State Cage Team
A Kansas "B" team which had gone undefeated in five basket-ball tilts this season suffered its first loss Friday night at the hands of a sky-scraping band of Kansas State Wildcats, 54-48.
Several hundred fans turned out in H auditorium to see the action packed contest. All proceeds of the event were given to the March of Dimes.
The Jayhawks got off to a good start, but had their lead taken away just as the second quarter ended. Roger Craft, a 6-foot, 7-anchor, hit a free throw to give the Wildcats a one-point half time lead.

The scoring honors of the evening went to Craft of the Wildcats, with 12 points on a total of one field goal and ten charity tosses.
The Jayhawks led by 11 points halfway through the second quarter, but the K-Staters began to hit, and before the quarter ended they had taken over a permanent lead.
In the third period, the Wildcats caught fire and scored 15 points while the Jayhawks were limited to one free throw.
With only a few minutes left in the period, the Kansas team, again showed signs of life, slamming in points which whittled the Wildcats' lead to nine points.
The final quarter saw the Jayhawks pick-up the opposition all over the court, and steal numerous passes. They came within four points of catching the Wildcats, but four of the Jays fouled out as there was not quite enough drive left to turn the game into victory.
