As the Big Eight championship race moves into its second weekend of competition, conference coaches are showing the usual pessimism but a few are pleased with their team's performances thus far.
Such surprises as the upsurge of the Nebraska team with two wins and the outburst against the basketball regime at Missouri point to a very interesting night of action Saturday as all eight squads play.
★★
AT MISSOURI basketball coach Wilburn "Sparky" Stalcup has been hung in effigy. At least some students are perturbed over the miserable showing of the Tiger team on the hardwood.
Stalcup's squad managed only two wins in its first 12 games and is now wallowing in the depths of an eight game losing streak.
Citing this season as the fifth straight losing effort at MU and what will probably be the worst in history, a student publication, the Maneater, is laying the blame at the feet of athletic director Don Faurot and the school administration.
The complaint is centered around the lack of scholarships awarded in basketball as compared to the rugged schedule which the Tigers face.
The publication suggested the situation might be relieved by placing less interest on football and switching some of the aid the gridders receive to the basketball team.
★★
IOWA STATE coach Glen Anderson's team comes to Lawrence Saturday and then travels to Manhattan as the Cyclones face the two top contenders for the league title.
The Cyclone cagers, edged by one point by Colorado last week, must now upset someone like Kansas or K-State as well as Colorado to have a chance for the title.
★★
KANSAS STATE coach Tex Winter is worried about the possibility of an upset against Oklahoma Saturday.
Since OU has lost three straight and the Wildeats have a nine game winning streak, a 10-2 overall record and are listed among the top 10 teams in the nation. Winter said, "Things couldn't be any more set up for us to be run over."
Of Oklahoma, Winter said, "Any team that plays Kansas that close (58-55) can beat anybody in the league on a good night."
★★★
NEBRASKA has already won more games this season than all last year. The Cornhuskers have posted an 8-4 mark.
As the Huskers prepare for Colorado, coach Jerry Bush attributes better reboundings and improved play from his guards for the surprising showing.
★★
OKLAHOMA'S Doyle Parrack said of the Sooner's loss to KU, "Actually we played our best game of the year. We thought if we could hold their inside men we could win. Defense was the best phase of our game."
★★
OKLAHOMA STATE has never beaten Missouri in Columbia but will have another opportunity as the teams square off Saturday. The Cowboys will come to Kansas Monday for the return match.

KU Gymnasts Face K-State
The KU gymnasts will meet Kansas State tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in Robinson gym.
The meet will feature three of the best gymnasts in the area with cocaptains Mike Dziura and Bob Rector for Kansas State and player-coach Bob Lockwood participating for KU.
Kansas lost in its first meeting with the Wildcats as Lockwood led all scorers with 26 points. Dziura and Rector had 22 and 20 points respectively.
Lockwood has been high point man in every meet so far as the Jayhawkers have compiled a 2-2 record and placed second in a triangular meet.
The KU coach's 124 point output so far has already shattered the season mark of 102 points which he set last year.
Other top performers for Kansas will be Mike Zwink on the horizontal bar, Clayton Lang on the parallel bar and Don Clifford in humbling.
Mercy Bowl Heads New Bowl List
PITTSBURGH - (UPI) - The NCAA yesterday approved four new college football bowl games for next season, including one called the Mercy Bowl.
The Mercy Bowl will be played in Los Angeles Thanksgiving Day for the benefit of families of 16 California Poly football players killed in a plane crash last fall near Toledo, Ohio. It was approved as a one-shot endeavor with proceeds to go to the Cal Poly Memorial Fund.
Other bowls receiving the NCAA stamp included;
The Aviation Bowl at Dayton, Ohio; the Presidential Bowl at Washington, and the Gotham Bowl in New York City, all Dec. 9.
The Gotham Bowl had been approved a year ago, but no contest was played this past season because the committee could not find suitable opponents. However, the bowl's sponsors applied yesterday for re-certification.
Last night's intramural basketball was plagued with forfeits as five teams failed to have enough players to play. Two of the forfeits were Fraternity B games giving Sigma Chi and Lambda Chi Alpha wins over Delta Chi and Phi Kappa Theta.
KU Swimmers Open Season
The other three forfeits were in the Independent C division. Jim Beam was awarded a win over Liahona, Carruth-O'Leary over Zoology, and the Cowards were given a victory over Templin.
The KU swimming team leaves early tomorrow morning for its first dual and first conference meet of the 1961 season.
Triangle beat Kappa Psi, 25-23,
and Phi Delta Theta beat Sigma
The team will meet Iowa University tomorrow at Iowa City, and Iowa State University Saturday, at Ames.
Coach Markley predicts a victory for All America Eldon Ward, Wichita junior, in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. "Another victory should go to Dick Reamon in the 200-yard individual medley," said Coach Markley. He also predicted that Reamon, Topeka junior, would win the 200-yard butterfly event.
Coach Markley also felt that Karl Pfeutze, Prairie Village junior, would win the 200 breaststroke, and Bill Murdock, Webster Groves, Mo., sophomore, would be a close second. "Murdock has been out for a few days with the flu, and he'll swim the breaststroke in the medley relay."

"The team has a few outstanding individual swimmers." continued Coach Markley, "but we lack necessary depth. We can't win a meet by winning a few first places, and letting the other team take a second and third in every event."
