University Daily Kansan SPORTS Wildcats Tumble From Unbeaten List
The Kansas State Wildcats, ranked second in the nation in this week's polls, were tumbled from the undefeated listings last night after a 77-68 upset by Brigham Young.
Fans were undecided as to where the blame for the loss should fall. Some said the poor showing was a result of a knee injury suffered by K-State's 6-foot 8-inch Bob Boozer. Others thought the Brigham Young team should get all the credit for its stunning play.
Boozer, a leading All America candidate, was forced to sit out most of the second half. He was limited to eight points for the entire game. Boozer, who went into the game with a 30.3 average, hit six of his total in the first half.
He injured his knee early in the second half. Up to that point, the game had been close, with Brigham Young holding only a one point lead at the half.
Then the scoring race began. Sophomore guard Gary Earnest collected 28 points, 16 of them in the second half, to become BYU's highest scorer.
Backing him up was John Nicoll, a senior forward, who hit 21 points. Boozer returned to the game in the final few minutes, but he was too late to save his team from its first defeat in five games.
The Wildcats were troubled by poor shooting in their loss last night. They hit only 27 per cent of their attempts against a strong 42 per cent by Brigham Young.
In other games by Big Eight teams last night, Illinois beat Iowa State 68-46. Wisconsin stopped Missouri 68-60 and Nebraska outsmarted Texas Tech 54-46.
The Oklahoma State at Tulsa game will be the only battle for a Big Eight member tonight. Oklahoma will be at Southern Methodist tomorrow, and on Thursday Missouri will meet Rice and Nebraska battles Bradley.
Illinois jumped to a 16-1 lead over Iowa State in the first eight minutes last night and continued to pour it on for the victory.
Wisconsin raced to an early 13-point lead on an unexpected fast break and held the advantage on the second-half shooting of guard Brian Kulas to beat Missouri.
Nebraska notched its third win in four starts by defeating Texas Tech.

Phi Kappa piled up a 20-point margin last night to defeat Sigma Alpha Epsilon 46-16 in Fraternity A intramural basketball action.

Ford, Turley Top AL Hurlers
CHICAGO — (UPI) — Casey Stengel said all year long that Whitey Ford and Bob Turley were the two best pitchers in the circuit, and the American League made it official today.
Ford, the left-handed curve-baller of the Yankees' pitching staff, turned in a 201 earned run average that was certified as best in the league while the right-handed Turley compiled the loop's highest percentage, 750, by winning 21 games and losing only seven.
Sidelined with a sore elbow for part of the season, the 31-year-old Ford still managed to build a 14-7 record and lead the league with seven shutouts. His .667 won-lost percentage was second only to Turley's.
No one could touch Ford in the E.R.A. department. Southpaw Billy Pierce of the White Sox (17-11) was second and lefthander Jack Harshman of the Orioles (12-15) third.
Turley, who went on to win two World Series games against Milwaukee, was sixth in earned runs with 2.98 and his six shutouts placed
Circus Act for Bowl
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (UPI)— The famed Florida State University Flying Circus will perform at half-time during the Gator Bowl game between Florida and Mississippi on Dec. 23. Three acts will be going on simultaneously in three rings at midfield.
him right behind Ford in that category. Bullet Bob was the league's only 20-game winner and he wound up in a tie with Pierce and Lary for the most complete games. Each pitched 19.
Veteran Early Wynn of the White Sox had only a so-so season, winning 14 games and losing 16, but he led the league with 179 strikeouts, two more than runnerup Jim Bunning of the Tigers.
FT. LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — (UPI) — Maurice King, former Kansas University basketball star, will be player-coach for the 1959 basketball team, the Hiltoppers, representing Fort Leonard Wood.
Former KU Star Is Player-Coach
King, a member of the 42nd Engineers Co., will make his debut in he coaching ranks.
King, named an All Big Eight player as a junior, has spent the past two seasons here. Last year he averaged 30 points a game in regimental play and this season he averaged 26 in five contests. His play was cut short by his trainee status and a ruling by the AAU which kept him out of the AAU tournament.
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Another cry against "poor officiating" in basketball games has been sounded—this time by one of the most successful coaches in the nation, University of San Francisco's Phil Hollpert.
He was a 1957 draft choice of the Boston Celtics.
San Francisco Coach Blasts Game Officiating
Woolpert, whose Dons have made a habit of going to the NCAA playoffs in recent years, winning two national championships, made several charges against officiating yesterday at the weekly Northern California Basketball Writers and Broadcasters luncheon.
Speaking of the USF-Kansas State game Saturday night, which the Wildcats won, 53-52, when guard Steve Douglas made four straight free throws in the last minute, Woolert said:
"The game got out of hand in the final minutes. To me, it is extremely discouraging when a team plays like
"I think we played the better game and I thought we deserved to win it." Woolpert said. "All I ask from the officials is to call the game as it's played. When a violation is made, call it."
we did we can't win on our own merit.
Woolpert said one of his own men, guard Dave Lillevand, was "bounced all over the floor" while going in for a lay-up in the final stages of the contest.
"But did the officials call it? No! I asked one of them why and he said that he didn't see it. How could he have missed it when Lillevand and the guy who was riding him were the only ones near the ball?"
Woolpert said the situation was not a new one for him.
"We've faced this problem before," he said. "Visiting teams come out here and get by far the best of it. But it rarely works out that way when we go east."
OU Finishes Bowl Drills
NORMAN, Okla. — (UPI) — The Oklahoma Sooners, two of their players still on the questionable list, wind up home practice this week in preparation for their Jan. 1 Orange Bowl meeting with Syracuse University in Miami. Fla.
The team leaves here Christmas afternoon to fly to Miami, where it will work morning and afternoon at the University of Miami field from Dec. 27 through New Year's Eve.
Coach Bud Wilkinson said the Sooners will work today, Wednesday and Thursday, and then will be dismissed for about a week of Christmas holidays.
Wilkinson said he's still unsure about the recovery of left guard Jerry Thompson, who bruised his chest while hunting two weeks ago, and reserve right halfback Dale Keadle, who is still nursing a broken hand.
Fort Hays Victors Over KCU 77-69
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - (UPI) Bill Ehlers poured in 17 points last night to lead Fort Hays State to an easy 77-69 victory over Kansas City University.
Havs was down by 10 points in the first half and trailed 43-40 at the buzzer. However, the Tigers came back on three straight goals by Don Bigham to take the lead and were ahead six to eight points the rest of the way.
Fort Hays moves on to Kansas Wesleyan to play tonight, while St. Benedict's is at William Jewell and Baker at Southwestern.
It was the fourth straight win for Fort Hays and Kansas City's fifth loss in eight starts. Dean Marriott was high scorer for KC with 16.
