Wildcats Squeeze by Indiana in Overtime
Big Eight teams, including Kansas, enjoyed victories in four of the six games played Saturday night. Kansas State squeezed past powerful Indiana; Missouri lost to Purdue in a roughhouse match; Oklahoma fell to Arkansas; Colorado beat Washington, and Nebraska walked over Montana State.
Kansas State defeated Indiana 82-79 in one overtime period despite the loss of four starters on fouls and an injury.
Bob Boozer fouled out of the game with over five minutes to go after scoring 28 points. Other Wildcats leaving on fouls were Don Matuszak and Wally Frank. Starter Glen Long was sidelined with a severe knee sprain.
It was Frank who provided the spark after the Wildcats blew a lead. He led the team back to tie at 76-all and force the overtime. The Wildcats then went ahead to win.
Frank scored three points in a late regular-time surge for the Wildcats and contributed three more in the overtime period. His total was 23.
Ced Price, who replaced Boozzer, had a chance to win the game with 18 seconds to go. He sank only one of two free shots—enough for an overtime, but not enough to win.
Kansas State shot a lower field goal average than Indiana, but free throw accuracy provided the difference. The Wildcats scored 30 of 49 to Indiana's 17 of 34.
Tigers Lose Steam
Missouri stayed close to Purdue for most of its game, but finally lost steam and the game 65-57. The score was tied at 34-all at the end of the first half.
Kansas Tankmen Swim Past S. Illini
The University swimming team contributed handily to the Jayhawker winning tradition by splashing past Southern Illinois 53-33.
The teams, meeting in the Robinson Pool, showed impressive early-season strength as they bettered last year's marks eight times and set two meet records.
John Jeffery, Jayhawker 200-yard butterfly event specialist, eclipsed the record he set last year with a mark of 2.265. This is exactly five seconds faster than his old record. Clyde Epperson, a Southern Illinois entrant in the 100-yard free style, churned to a new record of 554. The old record was 56.4.
The Kansas 400-yard medley relay team, made up of Tom Herlocker, Jim Laidlaw, Jeffery and Ed Poort, won the first event on the program in 4:12.8. Last year's time was 4:39.5 for the KU team.
Jack Uhlir, a Chicago, Ill., junior attending KU, defeated the visitors from his home state in the 1-meter diving competition. Uhlir took the event with 157 points.
Laidlaw won the 202-year breast-stroke race for Kansas with a time of 2:42.9. Last year's time was 2:44.7. Laidlaw had been timed at 2:37.8 in pre-season practice.
The Kansas 400-yard freestyle relay team, made up of Brad Keeler, Jon Poort, Bill Sitter and Ed Poort, came in ahead of the Southern Illinois team in 3:46.8. Last year's mark was 3:56.6.
Fve teams will compete in the first annual Jayhawk Relays at 3 p.m. this Saturday in Robinson. Coach Jay Markley has scheduled nine relays for teams from Oklahoma, Iowa State, Nebraska, Kansas State and Kansas.
(Oscar Starts Fast
The Big O—Cincinnati's ace Oscar Robertson—scored 96 points in his first two games this season. This is well above the 35.14 that led the nation last year.
The game was filled with rough play. Missouri Coach Wilbur (Sparky) Stalcup was warned by officials to stay away from the sidelines and Purdue Coach Ray Eddy, was removed from the floor after a brief scuffle under the Missouri bucket.
Missouri held a short lead in the first few minutes and the score was tied six times before Purdue went in front to stay.
Sooners Lose Out
Oklahoma out-gunned Arkansas from the field, but the Razorbacks' free throw accuracy and rebounding brought them a 61-52 victory.
Arkansas made 21 of 31 free throws for a 67 per cent average, while
Oklahoma hit only 14 of 27 for 51 per cent.
Bennie Price had 18 points for the Sooners and Jay Carpenter hit 24 for Arkansas.
Huskers. Buffs Win
In another Big Eight intersectional game, Nebraska defeated Montana State 75-43. Herschell Turner and Albert Maxey with 18 and 21 points, led the Huskers to the victory. Nebraska led by only six points at the halftime, but widened the gap throughout the second half.
Colorado, which had to go into an overtime to defeat Washington 70-63 Friday night, had an easier time against the same team Saturday night. The Buffalooes won 69-51. Star of the close Friday night encounter was Gerry Schroeder, a senior guard who hit 21 points.
Everything considered, the Jayhawkers should not find it too difficult to chalk up their third straight victory tonight when they meet the Denver Pioneers at 7:35 in Allen Field House.
Denver lost in its opener against Chicago Lovola Saturday night, while Kansas was running to a 75-54 victory over Canisius. Denver, which finished in a tie for fifth in last year's Skyline Conference, really suffered in Chicago. The score was 90-63.
Coach Dick Harp, who has played 12 Jayhawkers in both games, will start Ron Loneski and Gary Thompson at forwards, Monte Johnson at center, and Bob 'Billings and Bob Hickman at guards.
KU vs. Denver Tonight
Pioneer coach Hoyt Brawner will start George DeRoss and Jim Peay at forwards, Bob Grinstead at center, and Doug Campbell and Jerry Cole at guards. Grinstead, who is 6-feet 7-inches tall, will be the tallest starter on the floor.
Loneski, who has scored 52 points in the first two games, is the man the Pioneers will need to check. But with Billings and sophomore center Bill Bridges to watch also, chances are the job will not be done.
Big Eight basketball teams, with a shiny 11-4 record through the first
week of play, have an 18-game intersectional card this week, ending with most teams away from home.
Highlight of the schedule will come Friday and Saturday nights when Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State all play on the West Coast. Iowa State and Kansas engage in a pair of doubleheaders, the Cyclones playing at USC and Kansas meeting UCLA on the same court Friday night.
On Saturday, play switches to the UCLA court with Kansas playing USC and Iowa State meeting the host team.
K-State plays at California Friday and at San Francisco Saturday.
Nebraska, K-State and Kansas head the standings with perfect 2-0 records after the first week of play. Iowa State and Oklahoma State have perfect 1-0 marks while Colorado is 2-1 and Missouri is even at 1-1.
The Oklahoma Sooners, considered a dark horse in the conference race, have the only losing record in early games, having dropped both outings.
Missouri Valley conference coaches today announced selection of their all-conference football team with Odus Mitchell of North Texas State being named coach of the year.

Thinklish translation: In three-ring circles, this fellow's known as "Mr. Funnyman" (largely because his name is Horace P. Funnyman). When he does his smoke-ring act, the tent's in stitches. Naturally, this world-famous puffoon chooses Lucky Strike. "I like the honest taste," he says. A canvass (or tent poll) of the Big Top shows that this is no freak sentiment.
