Big Seven Sets Losing Record
The only victory was Oklahoma's thrilling overtime win at Norman over a hot visiting five from Ohio State, 64 to 55. It was Oklahoma's first victory in three starts.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 20—(UP)—The Big Seven basketball conference, admitting one of the worst early-season records in its history, faces a dozen games this week with no soft touches in sight.
Last week's slate of 13 games caught Big Seven teams losing 12 times, a new all-time sorry record.
Since the season opened with a trio of wins over second-rate opponents, the Big Seven has accumulated an 11-18 record, with more bad news yet to come before the conference settled down to its own championship race after the first of the year.
Last week's discouraging play wound up Saturday night with four losses while Oklahoma was winning. K. State (2-5) lost to Long Island in Madison Square Garden 60 to 63; Nebraska (1-4) was drubbed by Cincinnati, 64 to 46; Iowa State (3-2) was handed a 58 to 45 licking by Canisius and Kansas (2-2) lost to Drake, 44 to 60.
The Kansas loss was a real shocker. The Jayhawkers had lost earlier in the week to Purdue, but that was definitely no surprise.
The Big Seven basketball standings (non-conference games):
W. L. W. Pts. O.Pts. Pct.
Iowa State 3 2 270 225 .600
Kansas 2 2 219 170 .500

Pro League May End 'Cold War'
Philadelphia, Dec. 20—(UP)—A meeting scheduled here between representatives of the National football league and the All-America conference today lent weight to the belief that the two leagues would soon declare peace in the "cold war" they have waged for three years.

New York, Dec. 20 - (UP) - Storm warnings went up along the Western sector of the Basketball Association of America today and they were aimed at the Rochester Royals, pace-setters since the start of the season.
The Royals maintained their first place position last night by humbling Fort Wayne, 83 to 78, but the Minneapolis Lakers remained the Royals' most persistent rival by turning back the Chicago Stags, 94 to 84.
Lakers Are Royal Rivals
The Lakers' victory carried them into second place ahead of the Stags and left them only a game back of the Royals.
In a game at Boston, the Celtics pinned a 77 to 75 setback on the New York Knickerbockers by virtue of veteran Mel Rhebe's one-handed shot in the final minute.
