Cyclones,K-State Trim Opponents
The Iowa State Cyciones continued in the race for the Big Six cage crown by slaughtering Nebraska, 61-44. at Ames Monday night.
It was the second conference victory for the Cyclones and became the third and probably eliminating loss for Nebraska.
More than 6,000 fans, the largest crowd ever to watch an Iowa State home basketball game, saw the Cyclones control a majority of the rebounds and stretch a two-point lead at the 10-minute mark to a 28-20 halftime margin and go on from there.
Jim Myers led the Iowa State scoring with 11 points before fouling out. Claude Rethertford, Nebraska forward paced the Cornhuskers with 11 points.
13 points.
Elsewhere in the Big Six, the Kansas State Wildcats snapped a three-game losing streak by taking a non-conference, 51-44 victory over Rockhurst at Manhattan.
Hal Howey was again the big gun in the Wildcat scoring with 15 points, followed by Dave Weatherby with eight.
Kansas State held a 28-25 lead at the half, but Rockhurst came back to tie it up at 31-31 before Howey started the ball rolling with a goal and a free throw.
Kansas State has won six straight against non-conference foes, but has won one and lost three in the conference.
College Drops Record Winning Streak
New York. (UP)—Marshall college extended its string of basketball victories to 15 with an 86 to 47 conquest of Concord college last night, but Eastern Kentucky dropped from the perfect-record list.

In another top game, the University of Kentucky, rated by many as the nation's best team, overwhelmed Georgia Tech, 70 to 47. It was the Wildcat's 15th victory against a loss to the Oklahoma Aggies.
Cornell improved its position in ivy league standings with a 38 to 35 victory over Dartmouth. Cornell now has won three and lost one, while Columbia and Princeton are undefeated in two league games.
Iowa State's 61 to 44 win over Nebraska moved State into a second-place tie with Oklahoma in Big Six standings.
Pittsburgh beat Ohio State, 51 to 41, the Panthers' first victory over a Big Nine team since 1940.
In the only Big Nine game, Ed Ehlers scored 21 points to lead Purdue to an upset 52 to 46 triumph over Iowa, virtually eliminating Iowa from the race. Indiana beat Iowa on Saturday.

Crisler Upholds NCAA Purity Ruling
Pittsburgh. (UP)—Indication that National Collegiate Athletic association members will enforce sanctions against schools which do not abide by its new "purity" program was seen today after Fritz Crisler, Michigan football coach, criticized the Southwest conference's rejection of the program.
Crisler spoke at two gatherings yesterday, and said that he believed the Southwest conference eventually would go along with the new rulings rather than "secede" from the NCAA. He said he believed Tulane university was willing to drop out of its conference if it does not accept the purity rulings, which allow recruiting of athletes only on the campus itself.
The Southwest conference wants to allow recruiting in the state in which the university is located. Crisler said that view "straddled" the issue of amateurism.
When it was passed at the NCAA's New York convention, there were suggestions that NCAA schools should refuse to play schools which do not follow the program.
London. (UP) — English athletic chiefs, unhappy over British olympic prospects, hoped today that tales from Africa about Congo giants who can high-jump eight feet are more accurate than the recent hoax of the "gazelle boy".
Some returned travelers say the natives, members of the Watsui tribe, are from six feet six inches to seven feet in height and high jump eight feet with ease. That's 13 inches over the world record held by Les Steers of the U.S.A. If the natives are in British territory, they would be eligible for the Olympia<sup>10</sup>
Olympic Prospects Seen In Natives
But the British are wary. It was said the Gazelle boy would run 40 miles per hour, but it turned out to be an exaggeration by about 36 miles. The boy was sent to a hospital, where he showed no gazelle qualities at all.
Four table tennis semi-final winners will compete for the title in games to be played before Thursday.
