Wildcats Stun Nebraska With Crushing 53-28 Loss
Nebraska, still setting the pace but apparently faltering as the Big Seven rounded the turn for the homestretch of the 1949 basketball campaign, limped home today stinging from the humiliation of a 53-28 whipping at Kansas State.
A breather today in the conference schedule gave fans and anxious coaches a chance to set back and
Kansas State, improving with each set-to, moved in on the league leading Cornhuskers with the poise of champions last night and there was never a doubt as to the outcome. The win hoisted K-State (7-4) to within striking distance of second running Oklahoma (6-3) in conference standings.
Oklahoma will put that second rating on the line tomorrow night at Lawrence, Kan., when the Sooners tangle with Kansas university. A loss then would drop Oklahoma to third behind Kansas State, and Kansas (3-7) has everything to gain, nothing to lose. A Jayhawk defeat would not change league standings.
Nebraska (8-2) will meet perhaps its most severe test Saturday night when the Huskers entertain Oklahoma in a top rung conference match. A win for the Cornhuskers could cinch at least a share of the title for them. A loss would make it a wild scramble for top-most honors between Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas State.
In other games Saturday, Colorado (4-6) travels to Missouri (5-5), and Iowa State (2-8) entertains Kansas State.
Cow Is Hard Headed Critter
Keller, Texas — (U.P.) Cows are hard-headed critters, as Davis Caudell, 44, knows from experience. He and his cow bumped heads when Bossie raised hers when he was feeding her. Bossie's head wasn't hurt but Caudell needed three stitches.

K-State's Victory An Expensive One
Topeka. March 2—(U.P.)—Kansas lost another $10,000 in potential liquor revenue today because legislators put off consideration of the liquor control to attend a basketball game.
After a weekend of hectic meetings, a five-member legislative conference committee agreed on a compromise liquor measure shortly before noon Tuesday.
But a number of lawmakers left for Manhattan to attend the Big Seven game between Kansas State college and Nebraska, and administration leaders decided to postpone explanation of the committee's decision until today.
The liquor bill provides for a one dollar gallonage tax which, when passed, would provide an estimated $10,000 daily in state revenue. At that rate, Tuesday's basketball game was a costly affair.
Seniors Win Women's Title
The seniors cinched first place in the women's class basketball finals Tuesday night by defeating a scrapping freshman squad, 29 to 24. The freshmen were given second place, and the juniors took third by downing the sophomores 22 to 17.
The seniors rallied from a third quarter 23 to 21 to down the freshmen by 5 points. The freshman held a slim lead throughout the first three quarters but gained only 1 point on free throw in the final period. Kathleen McClanahan was high for the senors with 11, and Gerry MeeGee Clark followed with nine. Shirley Mickelson and Barbara Quinn sparked the freshmen with 18 and 5.
The juniors pulled out of a first quarter 2 to 2 tie to defeat the sophomores 22 to 17. They were never behind, and maintained at least a 4 point lead throughout the last three periods. Virginia Loveless hit 12 points for the winners, and Jody Stuckey was next high with 5. Larry Ross and Nancy Moore were high with 9 and 4 for for the sophomores.
In the B games the sophomores edged out the juniors 19 to 18 to take first place, and the freshmen scored a 23 to 14 victory over the seniors. The juniors and freshmen took second and third places.
Now For A Pound Of Flesh
Madison, Wis.—(U.P.)—Twenty-six underprivileged Madison children enjoyed a party paid for in blood. Students living in a University of Wisconsin men's hall sold blood at $25 a pint to raise money to rent a country club, get an ample supply of ice cream, cake and cookies, and buy gifts for each of the children.
Ortiz Wins Bout From Dado Marino
Honolulu, T. H., March 2 (U.P.)—Manuel Ortiz, El Centro, Calif., celery farmer, proved to 10,579 boxing fans in Honolulu stadium here Tuesday that he is still king of the bantamweights as he took a unanimous 15-round decision from Honolulu's Dado Marino.
Ortiz chopped his little brown Filipino challenger to a bloody wreck with a vicious right uppercut and superior infighting. Marino was badly cut about the face and finished the fight gamely slugging at the champion through a bloody haze. There were no knockdowns.
Marino, trying to bring Hawaii its first world championship, weighed in at $116\mathrm{lb}$. The 32-year-old champion tipped the scales at 118 during the weigh-in, but his manager said he was probably back up to 122 by the time he entered the ring.
The United Press scorecard gave 10 rounds to the champion, two to Marino and called three even.
The fight was fairly even through the first five rounds, but after that it was all Ortiz. The challenger punched furiously trying for a knockout, but his steam was all gone. Ortiz, however, was never able to set up the blood-smeared challenger for a knockout.
The official gate was $49,312 of which Ortiz was guaranteed $20,000

West Coast Reports Whales Increasing
La Jolla, Calif.—U(P.)—The whale population along the West Coast apparently is increasing, according to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography's biology department.
Dr. Carl Hobbs said he had observed more whales going south during the first half of the season this year than during the entire run last year. The whales migrate to bays along the Lower California coast to calf and head north again during the months of April and May.
William P. Sloan, a pilot for Ryan Aeronautical Company, said he had observed an abnormally large number of whales this year. He said he had counted 11 during one flight that were "20 to 30 feet long."
