Aggies Seek Revenge Win Over Huskers
Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 16 Kansas State's Wildcats, encouraged by their surprise victory over Oklahoma, will defend their home court again Friday—this time seeking revenge for a 33 to 23 licking suffered at the hands of Nebraska at Lincoln ten days ago.
Coach Jack Gardner thinks highly of the Huskers, especially their star guards, Sid Held and Don Fitz. "Nebraska is a team of tremendous height, speed and potential scoring ability," said the K-State mentor. "Even in defeat Nebraska has scored. We're going to have to play better ball Friday than we did against the Huskers at Lincoln or then we did against Oklahoma if we hope for victory."
Respect Fitz and Held
Gardner admitted a lack of men capable of guarding Fitz and Held. But he believes his K-Staters will be tougher as a result of confidence gained by the win over the Sooners
A pair of dependable seniors — Forward Chris Langvardt and Guard Norris Holstrom—came through in the final seconds of the Oklahoma contest to provide K-State with its victory chance in one of the most thrilling contests ever played in Nichols gymnasium.
With only five seconds remaining in the regulation game, Oklahoma led 36 to 34 and had possession of the ball out of bounds. Holstrom intercepted the pass into the court, whipped the ball down to Langvardt who flipped through a one-handed shot to tie the count as the gun sounded. Holstrom and Larry Beaumont, guard, accounted for the five points in the overtime period which gave K-State the game, 41 to 36. Same Starters for K-State
Gardner was pleased with the right and determination of his ball club. But he blamed poor ball handling and a temporary weakening of the defense for the Wildcats' loss of the lead in the last five minutes after they had been ahead from the outset.
The same quintet which took the floor against the Huskers at Lincoln will start Friday. This group includes Jack Horacek and Dan Howe, forwards; Tom Guy, center; and Holstrom and Beaumont, guards.

JAYHAWKS-TIGERS—
(continued from page one) still not fully recovered from the flu and probably will not be at top form against the Bengals.
The Jayhawkers have seen only light shooting and passing practice drills since Monday.

The Doctor is also much perturbed about what the Tigers might have to offer from their all veteran lineup. Allen Sees Bitter Battle
"We've suffered an awful let-down victory Monday night," the canny mentor exclaimed. "Missouri never plays bad ball against Kansas and this game will be no exception. I've been trying to get the boys out of a mental coast since Monday. I think Missouri is a lot better than everyone seems to believe."
Allen backed up his waring statements with an order of eight quarts of water for personal consumption during the contest, which is in itself a forecast of what the Jayhawker tutor expects.
Coach George Edwards' crew, which had it's scheduled conference opener with Iowa State cancelled last week because of a campus flu epidemic, boasts an unimpressive preseason record of three wins and two losses against only average opposition. The Tigers have defeated Washington University of St. Louis, St. Louis University, and Westminster, while losing to Washington and Springfield Teachers.
