Page 5 Kansas Zone Defense Stops Huskers, 69-54 A surprise Kansas zone defense and almost complete control of its defensive backboards helped the Jayhawkers romp to a 69-54 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln Saturday night. Coach Dick Harp said the Jayhawkers switched to the zone defense from their regular man-to-man in an attempt to stop the hot shooting Huskers. Not only did the Kansans stop the Huskers, but they shot a torrid 56 per cent themselves throughout the first half and were in complete control of the game after that. The Jayhawkers also swept to a 53-27 bound edge. With Wilt Chamberlain leading the way, the Cornhuskers were able to grab only seven offensive rebounds. The Big Dipper collected 21, and Maurice King grabbed 10, one more than Nebraska's highest. Rex Ekwall. In an attempt to stop Chamberlain the Nebraskans put the usual three man defense on him, but the big center scored 26 points to lead the Jayhawkers' scoring. Ron Loneski continued his fine play in his second game as a member of the starting five, scoring 13 points to place second in Jayhawker point totals. Gene Elistun and Maurice King hit 12 and 11 respectively to round out a well-balanced KU attack. KU's Lead A Full Game KU's Lead A Full Game The victory, giving Kansas a 5-1 conference record, stretched the Jayhawker's lead to a full game over second place Kansas State. Their season's record now stands at 14-1. For the Huskers, it was their first defeat at home and dropped them into fifth place at 2-3. A capacity coliseum crowd of 9,000 watched the Jayhawks soar to an early 23-8 lead. KU at one time built its lead to 22 points, while the closest the Cornhuskers came after the early Kansas lead was 12 points. KU broke out of an 8-8 tie at the 6-minute mark for a comfortable intermission lead of 36-20 and went on to a 55-33 lead seven minutes after the second half opened. Coach Harp thought the Jayhawkers played well throughout the entire game. Their zone defense made the Nebraskans shoot from outside all night. Only eight of the 21 Nebraska field goals were collected from within 20 feet of the basket. Rex Ekwall led the Nebraska attack with 14 points, while Gary Reimers collected 11 for the losers.

Ernie Shelby ---(Daily Kansan photo by John Eaton) With all the commotion over the ineligibility of KU track stars Charlie Tidwell and Bob Cannon, another ineligible Jayhawker trackman, equally as great in this field has gone unnoticed. KU Track Star In Shadows As Others Make Headlines That young man is Ernie Shelby, one of only three-men competing in the world today who has gone over 26 feet in the broad jump. Ernie's ineligibility is traced not to scholastic difficulties but to laying out a year of competition after transferring from Pierce Junior College, Los Angeles, last fall. Ernie owns an all-time best jump of 26 feet $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches which he used to win the national AAU track meet last year. He was fifth in the Olympic trials, jumping 25 feet $-1\frac{1}{4}$ Has Jumped 26 Feet inches away from making the team "There are three things essential to being a good broadjumper," Ernie said. "You need natural speed and spring plus coordination at the jump, which you simply have to develop." University Daily Kansas Ernie certainly fills the bill in the three categories. He has run 09.6 for the 100-yard dash and owns a best time in the 220-yard dash of 20.9. "I think hurdling is essential for broadjumpers," Ernie said, "because when you hurdle you must have perfect stepping between the hurdles and this timing carries over into broadjumping." Hurdling Is Essential "If you can take your steps mechanically before jumping and con- Monday, Feb. 11, 1957 We have a complete selection of Valentines for anyone's favorite guy or doll, Mom, Dad, Sis, or Kid Brother.

On Friday the Jayhawkers nipped K-State 44-42 on the strength of a great anchor lap by coach-competitor Chuck Edwards in the 400-yard freestyle relay; the final event of the day. Edwards was the only double winner as he took the 60 and 100-yard freestyle events. On Saturday, Kansas again used a winning effort in the 400-yard freestyle event to clinch a 48-38 victory over Fort Hays State. Six pool records were hung up by the two teams and one KU varsity record. The KU medley relay team swam 4:34.4 in the 400-yard event to post the varsity record. centrate only on the jump it is an important advantage," he said. Tom Clevenger got two of the records for the Jayhawkers and was the meet's high scorer with 10 points. Chuck Edwards and Bill Matthews rang up the other records. Strangely enough, it is hurdling that gives Ernie the most pleasure out of track. In current practice sessions, he is tied with Charlie Tidwell for the best time in the 220-yard low hurdles. Moaning over the cold Kansas weather, Ernie declared that at this time of the year in California, he "I hope Gregg Bell and John Bennett (the other two men who have jumped 26 feet) can make it to the meet. I would like another crack at them," he said. "We did real well in both meets. I was especially impressed with the competitive spirit of the squad," Coach Edwards said. Asked whether or not the layoff from competition would hurt him, Charlie answered, "No, I don't think it will bother me as much as people think, although I suppose it will have some effect on my timing." Will Enter AAU Meets "While I am not eligible for college meets, I plan to take part in several AAU meets," Ernie declared. "This year, the KU Relays broad-jump event will be an open event instead of a college event as it has been in the past. was already working out on the outdoor jumping pit. Weather No Handicap "It will probably take me longer to get to my jumping peak here but I think once the weather warms up there shouldn't be any disadvantage," Ernie said. Ernie sees nothing but roses for the Jayhawker track team of next year. He said they should be a heavy favorite to win the national meet if the squad does not suffer any bad breaks. "I honestly think if KU's track team returns all undergraduate lettermen, and they make normal improvement, we should have a better squad than the ones that won the NCAA the last four years," he said. Bill Russell A Friend Two of Ernie's best friends in California athletic circles are Willie Naulls and Bill Russell, both All-American basketball players for UCLA and the University of San Francisco respectively. Naulls incidentally is engaged to Ernie's sister, Dennis. It's Good Business To Pay By Check! Your cancelled check provides a handy receipt and record of money spent.
