Jayhawkers Breeze Past Huskers 87-60
Kansas turned a close basketball game into a face by scoring 13 straight points late in the first half and went on to overwhelm Nebraska 87-60 Saturday in Allen Field House.
The Jayhawkers, leading only 29-25 with 7:10 to play in the first half, suddenly exploded and before Rex Ekwall hit for Nebraska with 1:10 to play, Kansas had a 42-25 lead.
Wilt Chamberlain scored 30 points for Kansas and pulled down 19 rebounds.
The Huskers made it close for 12 minutes and managed to maneuver for six ties. Nebraska hit a phenomenal 60 percent of long shots in the first 12 minutes. They needed them however, as the Jayhawkers weren't giving up many shots.
Nebraska got only two offensive rebounds during the entire first half so thoroughly did Wilt and the Jayhawkers dominate the backboards.
Kansas opened with a zone defense and the Huskers promptly began to shoot over top with Ekwall and Gary Reimers doing the damage.
Huskers Shoot Over Zone
Meanwhile Kansas was shooting freely and working through the Husker zone defense for close range goals as the Huskers frantically gathered around Wilt.
The Jayhawkers were guilty of some sloppy passing early in the game as they maneuvered to feed the ball to Chamberlain. In an effort to curb the poor ball handling, Coach Dick Harp substituted freely, even in the early stages of the game.
A highlight of the first half of play was John Parker's 25-foot intended pass to Wilt that was a trifle too high and climbed over the rim on a straight line and into the basket.
Switch To Man For Man Kansas switched to a man for man defense in the second half that stymied the Nebraska outside marksmen until the reserves began pouring into the game for Kansas.
The second half of play was a continuation of the last few minutes of the first half. Nebraska would get the ball, shoot and miss, and KU would rebound.
The Jayhawkers moved the ball down the court and shot until they hit. Kansas mounted its longest lead of the night at 64-34 with 13 minutes to go as Wilt hit a 10-foot iump shot.
Coach Harp cleared the bench
after that with all the regulars except Chamberlain coming out. Wilt stuck around until 5:15 to play in an effort to score enough points to move back into the national scoring lead.
16 See Action
A total of 16 Jayhawkers saw action in the game as Coach Harp swept the entire bench with the exception of Dick Keith and Gary Mowry.
The Jayhawkers' superiority was clearly shown in the whopping 85 shots they tossed up. They hit on 32 of them compared to 20 field goals in 65 attempts for the Huskers.
Behind Chamberlain's 30 points,
co-captains John Parker and Gene
Eslun scored 10 points each. Ekwall
scored 15 points and Terry Howard
10 to lead Husker shooters.

Recent studies showed that 16-year-old boys and girls in the U.S. had an average of about 15 permanent teeth which had already suffered from tooth decay.
KU's hold on first place in the Big Seven basketball race didn't figure today to be loosened this week when the Jayhawkers meet Colorado. But there's a showdown coming for the Wilt Chamberlain crowd March 6.
The test, which may blow the roof right off Ahearn Fieldhouse in Manhattan, either will give Kansas a clear title or divide the championship between KU and Kansas State.
There could be trouble for the Wildcats Saturday when they go to Ames for a return engagement
with Iowa State. But the odds will favor K-State to end the week with a 9-2 league record, against a probable 9-1 Kansas figure.
Iowa State crowded K-State all the way in regulation time Saturday before 12,500 fans at Manhattan. But after the game ended in a 68-68 knot, K-State breezed home in the overtime period. Missouri won a rough decision from Colorado, 72-62, at Columbia.
Ted Williams was the last major league baseball player to hit 400.
The Case of
Wrinkled Shirt Wilfred
How Kermit Kean, Kompetitor of the Kampus Kops solved another thrilling mystery
Belinda Bottoms-up frantically braked her two-speed, two-tone English velocipede to a halt. The time was 9:04 and her boss, famed detective Kermit Kean, was an absolute terror if she didn't serve him his first drink by 9:07. She rushed in, expecting at least 30 lashes with a wet spinach strip, but was surprised to see him wrapped in thought.
Pulling off the wrappings, she discovered Kernit contemplating the infinite wrinkles of a dirty shirt. "Wrinkled Shirt Wilfred," he said, a tear dropping from his left eye, "has struck again."
"First he stole the key to Phog's Cadillac, causing comments that were printed in 37 states. Then he ran off with the plans for the commemorative bronze Jayhawker, to the disappointment of at least 6 students. Now he has stolen $374.84 in Bookstore receipts from the S.A.M.M.T.C.F.*"
"We know he always wears a wrinkled shirt, but no one has been seen near the crimes with one on." Kermit continued. "We even have located his hide-out, but he's disappeared. Come on, we're going there now," he said, affectionately grabbing Belinda by the big toe and pulling her along. While examining the hide-out, Belinda suddenly noticed a clock. "Quitting time!" she yelled. "Let's finish this case. Look over there in the corner," she said, rolling her heliotrope eyes at Kermit.
He picked them up and rolled them back, at the same time exclaiming. "Belinda Baby, you've done it. That small strip of paper is a shirt wrapper from Lawrence Laundry."
Wrapper from Lawrence Library The next day Kermit stood (as best he could) on Jayhawk Boulevard until the cleanest and best pressed shirt of the day came by. Surprise! Inside the shirt was Wrinkled Shirt Wilfred, who was promptly hauled off to the local pokey.
Moral: If you're a criminal, don't wear shirts laundered by Lawernce Laundry. If you're on the level, do.
