K State Moves To First Place In Big 7 Race
By UNITED PRESS
Kansas State's red-hot Wildcats held a new Big Seven conference scoring record today, along with a 99 to 57 basketball victory over Iowa State. The Wildcats are now in undisputed possession of first place as Nebraska lost.
Paced by point-a-minute Rick Harmon, the K-Staters smashed the old record of 87 points established by Oklahoma two years ago in a game against Nebraska.
Coach Jack Gardner called everyone on the bench as the score steadily mounted, but the reserves kept up the bombardment on the backboards and the total continued to rise through the final half.
Harmon's 16 points gained individual scoring honors for K-State, but Bloy Krone, Lou Hitch and Head weren't far behind with 11 each. Baggel, 22,helm, Iowa State center, bagged 22, but he didn't have much assistance.
A pair of non-conference games will keep Oklahoma and Missouri busy Wednesday. Next Saturday's card will book Missouri and Iowa State at Ames and Colorado and Oklahoma at Norman.
In 13 minutes, Kansas State built up a 33-11 lead. All the regulars except Harmon then left the game. He stuck around three more minutes, departing after he had rolled up 16 points.
Nebraska, defending champion laid its record on the line at Boulder last night and came out second best. The Coloradons won 72 to 59.
At the half, the tally was 45-25. It was worse in the final stanza, as K-State amassed 54 counters.
It was the second straight conference victory for the Wildeats, who now boast a conference record of 2 and 0.
Missouri's present dilemma, beginning after the Tigers had won nine games in a row, was enlarged last week when Clyde Lovellette and the rest of the University of Kansas team whipped Sparky Stalcup's outfit, 48 to 44, at Columbia. Earlier in the week, Missouri lost to Oklahoma, 36 to 41.
Kansas State did not find the going tough against the Iowa State team. It was tough, however, when he collided with Oklahoma last week. The Wildcats won, 43 to 42, in overtime with Kirk Harmon starring.
Kansas is idle this week. Lovellette scored 29 points in his team's win over Missouri.
Nebraska lacked poise in defeat Monday. But nobody accused the Cornhuskers of having poise last season. They just legged off with the title by making more points than their important rivals, hammering away at the goal from all angles and from all kinds of formations.
Kansas State is fielding a team of rugged, capable veterans. The Wildcat's record for the season is 11 and 3.

Sikes Back From Coaches Meeting Where Two-Platoon System Is Upheld
Several suggested recommendations concerning rule changes will be sent to the National Collegiate Athletic association as a result of the meeting of the American Football Coaches association. The meeting was held in New York City Jan. 11, 12, and 13.
The N.C.A.A. rules committee is meeting in Pinehurst, N.C. Monday, Jan. 16 through Wednesday, Jan. 18. Not until the final closed session on Wednesday will an announcement be made of the vote on any of the recommended rules changes. The rules committee normally follows the suggestions of the coaches though.
Head Kansas football coach J. V. Sikes returned Jan. 14 from the meeting.
"It was just a big coaching school," Coach Sikes said. "We saw movies of the bowl games, and other outstanding games of the year; we heard reports of the various committees; and we attended lectures by well-known coaches on the different systems and phases of the game."
5. Realignment of officials on the field to approximate their position when the ball is on the goal line. The idea is to enable officials to get a better view of the play and detect beating of the snap of the ball.
At the New York meeting the coaches recommended that the National Collegiate Athletic association rules committee retain the controversial free substitution rule which enables the two-platoon system to operate. The coaches also suggested that each team be allowed to make one penalty free substitution after each down.
Other recommended changes in the rules are:
2. The coin-tossing ceremony be staged fifteen minutes.before the game to enable earlier announcement of the starting line-up.
1. Reduction of time outs from four to three for each half if the substitution rule is adopted.
4. Return to the 1948 rule on personal fouls, designating the type of foul committed. Now the personal foul covers several violations.

3. Strier restrictions on offensive blocking, especially as related to elbowing.

Lou Little, Columbia university coach and a member of the rules committee, said that a very high percentage of the 600 high school and college coaches throughout the nation who answered his questionnaires indicated that they were in favor of the free substitution rule.
Critics of the two-platoon system contend that players should be able to play both on the offense and defense instead of being specialists. They also argue against the constant en masse interruptions and say that it takes the personality out of the game.
Kansas coach Sikes said. "I am in favor of the rules changes just as they were recommended by the coaches' rules committee.
Defenders of the two-platoon system counter that there are fewer injuries because the players are kept fresh by constant relief; more boys can play, and the game is speeded up.
