Kansas Is Big Eight Indoor Champ
The Kansas trackmen shattered two conference records and equaled two others in sweeping to their eighth straight Big Eight indoor championship Friday and Saturday in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium.
Coach Bill Easton's stars started the sweep with a first and third in the broad jump event Friday night and ended it with a new record in the mile relay Saturday night.
The championship was the 23rd consecutive title in Cross-Country, Indoor and Outdoor competition for Kansas.
Cliff Cushman accounted for one of the two new marks set by the
Jayhawkers as he broke his own record in the 1,000-yard run. Cushman's time of 2:11.6 bettered a time of 2:13.9 he had set in the preliminaries Friday night.
The Kansas mile-relay team of Charlie Tidwell, Bob Covey, Cushman and Bob Lida ended the meet with a new mark of 3:18.7 which bettered a record of 3:20.0 set by a 1956 Oklahoma relay team.
Tidwell again was the main point maker for the Jayhawkers as he equaled records by taking victories in both the 60-yard dash and the 60-yard low hurdles. His time of 66.1 in the dash tied Oklahoma'
Dee Givens' last year's time and his :06.7 clocking in the lows was the same as the old conference mark as well as the existing U.S. indoor record.
Other conference marks fell as Oklahoma State's Mile Eisenman smashed the old time of 9:07.9 in the two-mile run with a new mark of 9:03.1. Nebraska's Ken Pollard barely erased the pole vault record of $14^{\circ}6\frac{1}{2}$ with a $14^{\circ}6\frac{1}{4}$ vault.
The Jayhawkers posted wins in nine of the 14 events on the conference slate.
KU Falls to K-State On First Half Mistakes
The Kansas Jayhawkers, plagued by first half mistakes, fell to nationally ranked Kansas State 87 to 77 Friday night.
A near-capacity crowd of 17,000 saw the Wildcats win their 18th straight game of the season to give them a 22-1 record.
Kansas played the Wildcats evenly for the first ten minutes of the game, KU gaining a slim one point lead, 20-19, midway in the first period. But under the guidance of sophomore Ced Pirce and All America candidate Bob Boozer the Wildcats zoomed ahead to a 37-25 lead five minutes later. By halftime Kansas State was in power 46-32.
Although K-State led for the remainder of the game, the Jayhawkers outscored the winners 45 to 41 in the second half.

K-State First In UPI Poll
N. C.A.A. tournament-bound Kansas State, boasting the nation's second best (22-1) won-lost record, replaced Kentucky atop the United Press International college basketball ratings today in the next-to-last week of the balloting for the national champion.
Kentucky, which got the Southeastern Conference berth to the N.C.A.A. tournament when Mississippi State (24-1) declined, got 11 first-place votes this week, compared to 13 last week, for 297 points. The Adolph Rupp coached Wildcats, beaten in only two of 25 games this year, are the defending N.C.A.A champions.
Cincinnati (21-2), the pre-season choice of the coaches, held onto third place, drawing five first-place votes and 259 points, while Michigan State (16-3) moved past North Carolina (18-3) and North Carolina State (19-4) into fourth place. North Carolina slipped a notch to fifth and N. C. State dropped two pegs to seventh.
Kansas State, second in last week's ratings even though it received more first-place votes than Kentucky, was the top pick of 16 of the 35 coaches who make up the UPI rating board this week, and the Wildcats picked up enough second and third-place votes to pile up a 305-point total.
Mississippi State, seventh a week ago, climbed a rung to sixth between the two Carloina schools, and California (20-4), Bradley (21-3) and Auburn (20-2) completed the top 10.

period. Three KU players, Ron Loneski with 15 points, Al Donaghue with 13 and Bill Bridges with four points, made the total contribution to the scoring column in the first half. Neither Bridges or Price scored in the second period and Al Donaghue added only one more field goal.
Long Road Back
Loneski was high scorer for the game with 29 points. K-State's Bob Boozer followed closely with 28 and Wally Frank added 17. The Wildcats had a 46 per cent scoring average compared to 31 per cent for Kansas.
Kansas State's Price and substitute Glen Long and KU's Donaghue and Bridges had been removed from the lineup by fouls with a little over eight minutes remaining in the game when it looked as if Kansas might start on the long road back. The Wildcats owned a 15 point lead. Monte Johnson, Bob Hickman and Dee Ketchum put the Jayhawkers within eight points. KU fans raised their hopes while the score bounced between an eight and 10 point margin for the next minute. But the determined Wildcats shot out of erach, eventually by 14 points. KU cut the lead to 10 points by the final whistle.
Besides Loneski's 29 tallies, Donahue scored 15, Hickman 6, Bridges 4, Ketchum 8, Billings 1, Hoffman 8 and Monte Johnson 10.
Kansas amassed a total of $70\frac{1}{2}$ points to more than double the score of Oklahoma, the nearest competitor. The Sooners ended with 30 points followed by Kansas State with 26, Colorado with 25, Missouri with $18\frac{1}{2}$, Nebraska with 16, Oklahoma State with 13 7/12 and Iowa State with 8 7/12.
Other Kansas winners were Darwin Ashbaugh in the Broad Jump, Bill Tillman in the 60-yard high hurdles, Bob Lida in the 440-yard dash, Bob Tague in the 880-yard run, and Bob Cannon in the high jump.
Tague was the only defending Big Eight indoor champ to post a victory in the meet while Tillman was a surprise winner in the 60-yard highs.
