Edman Takes Double Win As Sooners Edge By Kansas
Oklahoma won its four dual swimming meet in five starts by coming from behind to defeat the Kansas team 47 to 37 in Robinson gymnasium Friday night. Don McCloskey of the Sooner team set two new pool records to help his teammates in their win.
McCloskey. a 160-pounder from York, Pa., raced through the 150-yard
McCloskey, a 160-pounder from backstroke in 1:38.2 to win by 54 yards over teammate Dave Womble after having splashed the anchor lap of the 300-yard medley relay which the Sooners won in 2:59.7. McCloskey's backstroke figure shaved 2.2 seconds off the former record set by Iowa State's Alan Thompson last year. The Sooner medley five cracked a month-old record of 3:07.5 which was held by Nebraska.
Coach Walt Mikols' Jayhawks tied the pool 400-yard free style mark of 3:47.0 in the final event when their anchor-man Bob Edman, nosed out O.U.'s Jerry Dreihorst by $ \frac{1}{2} $ -foot on the final lap. Nebraska also set this record Jan. 8.
Edman was easily the night's outward swimmer as he scored the only double win of the evening. His wins were in the 50 and 100-yard free styles as well as his blazing anchor lap in the relay.
Ernie Crates did some fancy diving to win the 1-meter diving event for Kansas. A fellow Jayhawker, Dick O'Neill, took second in the diving.

Hoppe And Caras Still Cue Champs
Chicago, Feb. 14 — (U.P.) — The world's billiard championships—3 cushion and pocket — rested in veteran hands today as Willie Hoppe, White Plains, N.Y., retained his three-cushion title without the loss of a game and Jimmy Caras, Upper Darby, Pa., won his third pocket Billiards crown in 12 years.
Hoppe, now 61 years young, still was the "boy wonder" of the Billiard world as he rallied last night to defeat Joe Chamaco, Mexico City, 54 to 43 in 54 innings.
Caras won his third title while sitting on the sidelines last night. He saw Willie Mosconi, Barrington, NJ., former title holder, ram home a quick victory over Irving Crane.
Norman, Okla.. Feb. 14—(U.P.) Giant killers invade the Giant's lair tonight in the game of the week on the Big Seven basketball calendar.
NU Invades Sooner's Court For Title Game
The Huskers from Lincoln, Nebr., invade Oklahoma Soonerland to decide, perhaps, which shall wear the midlands conference cage crown this season. And the experts are too miffed to make a prediction.
Nebraska, seventh ranking five in the pre-season Big Seven tourney at Kansas City, Mo., playing a shoot-and-run game seen more in small college competition than on university hardwoods, should never have led the pack to the midway mark.
But the hustling Huskers marked up straight win number five Saturday by easing by Kansas university, 49 to 39, and will face Oklahoma without a blemish on the red ride of the ledger.
The Sooners didn't quite live up to choices, either. Pre-season favorite, by a wide margin, Oklahoma did the obvious by breezing by Kansas, Iowa State, Colorado and Missouri in quick order. But then the favored five dropped a still unexplained 45 to 47 heart-breaker to Kansas State. That loss left the Giant with a five wins-one loss record with which to face the giant killers.
Tomorrow night, the Kansas Jayhawkers (2-5) travel to Columbia, Mo, for their second tangle with the Tigers (3-2). Phog Allen's youngsters won their first round with the Tiger, 42 to 35, but that was many, many gallons of water under the bridge ago.
On other conference courts this week, Missouri may be surprised by a surprising Colorado (3-4) quintet in Boulder; Oklahoma will have a chance for revenge (and should collect it) at Kansas State (4-4); Nebraska will enjoy a breaker against Iowa State (1-7) at Ames, and Kansas meets Washington university of St. Louis in a non-conference go—all on Saturday.
Kansas Loses Enns For Rest Of Season
Rued ineligible because of scholastic difficulties, Myron "Sonny" Ennay, Jawhawk guard, Saturday became the second starter lost to "Phog" Allen in three weeks.
Hal England is probably out for the remainder of the season with a severe charleyhorse, and Jerry Waugh is suffering from a bruise on the heel, but has not been sidelined.
Enns, a College junior, has been placed on probation because of a grade-point deficiency. But Allen says Enns is eligible to play under the current interpretations of the Big Seven rulebook. Enns, former Newton high school star, only recently became a regular starter.
