University Daily Kansan Wednesday, March 5. 1958
Was that muffled laughter we heard coming from Manhattan's Aggieville 10 days ago?
So now the worm has turned. Jerry Bush has shown that he and his Cornhusker team truly deserve the title of 1957-58's giant-killers.
They have defeated two teams which have at one time or another during the season, been rated No. 1 in the nation.
But for a smug Kansas State the loss may have come at a good time. The Wildcats will now be better prepared mentally for Saturday's game with Kansas than if they had been riding along undefended.
But the defeat at the hands of lowly Nebraska, whose only weapon is team work and time-honored ball control, points out that the Wildecat can be skinned.
In Cincinnati one Oscar Robinson, who inch for inch is probably the best offensive basketball player in the nation today, and his mates, aspiring to greater things than a first round defeat in Allen Field House March 14, are prepared to offer Kansas State an even stronger recipe of the same sort of fare served in Lincoln.
Lost Balance In Lincoln
Kansas State's well balanced team lost its balance in Lincoln. Jack Parr, the sometimes up to par but more often not up to par center, was out with the flu just as he was a year ago. Bob Boozer fouled out but scored 20 points. Don Matuszak had a bad night, fouling out and scoring only two points. He adds to K-State's invulnerability by scoring consistently from the outside thus making sinking tactics impractical. He does this when he's right and K-State is invulnerable.
Sparky Staleup, the fire and brimstone coach of the Missouri Tigers, was appalled by the boistous attitude of the usually lady and gentlemen-like crowd Saturday in Manhattan's Ahearn Field House.
In fact, so appalled was Sparky that toward the end of the game policemen gathered around the Missouri bench to prevent any physical damage to the visitors.
But the Aggies have a right to display emotions pent up after years of frustration since they are now lords over all they survey in the basketball world except the cornfields around Lincoln, Neb.
KSU?
Already K-Staters are beginning to refer to their school as the Kansas State University or the University of Kansas State.
What are they going to do with Aggieville, that reminder of collegiate days. Maybe urban renewal can help them out.
Obviously they cannot retain the name when the school becomes a university.
A new name for the state college also poses a problem to the editors of the school's newspaper, the "Collegian."
A simple answer would be to name the paper The University Daily Kansan No. 2.
Wilt, Boozer To AP's Team
Wilt Chamberlain was the unanimous choice of Associated Press sportswriter for a first team All America berth. He received the most first team votes.
Bob Boozer of Kansas State was named to the second team and he too received the most votes on that team.
Other members of the AP's first team are Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati, Elgin Baylor of Seattle, Guy Rodgers of Temple and Don Hennon of Pittsburgh.
With Boozer on the second team are Archie Dees of Indiana, Bailey Hall of Mississippi State, Lloyd Sharrar of West Virginia and Pete Brennan of North Carolina.
For a discus thrower who has taken rank as the Big Eight's No. 2 all-time shot-putter, Al Oerter is not overly excited. His progress with the 16-pound shot this winter, in fact, is the means to an end, namely to move up higher in his favorite event, the discus throw.
Means To An End
Shot Helps Oerter In Discus
Improvement for an Olympic, NCAA and NAAU champion, who has 12 winning heaves beyond 180-feet, will be difficult to attain, of course, but the massive Kansas track captain still carries as much ambition as a promising sophomore entering his first major relay meet. For one thing, USC's Rink Babka, also a senior, got off the best throw among Americans last year, 186 feet 4-inches. This is a foot better than Oerter's career best with which he won the national collegiate at Austin. For another, Sim Iness' 5-year-old collegiate record of 190 feet $-\frac{3}{2}$-inch still is beckoning.
Works Hard To Improve
This is a round-about way of
saving Otert has worked so hard to improve in the discus that his shot heaving suddenly has risen to unexpected stature. For the record, he defended his conference indoor championship in Kansas City, Mo. last weekend with the best mark of the league season, 57 feet.
Note that no other league shot-putter in history stands within the 56-foot range save Oerter's old roommate, Bill Nieder. Note too, that Oerter's best mark is 2-feet 7-inches beyond his previous career indoor high of 54 feet 4 inches attained last year. His outdoor best is 54-feet 7-inches reached as a sophomore.
Why this wide improvement?
"Mostly increased strength," Oerter explained. "Last year I was doing 210 (pounds) off the prone press. This year I'm up to 270. I am lifting 300 with knee bends. I wasn't even doing them last year. I have moved up from 160 to 220 on the quick exercise."
The latter is a back-breaking drill in which the subject brings the barbell to chest height then lifts it outward and upward at a 60-degree angle in eight or ten quick repeats.
Shot Still Secondary
"I started on the weights in September this year." Oerter said. "I never used to begin until December. But with Babka throwing the way he did last year I am going to have to improve."
"This work helped my shotputting right from the start. Of course, when I started throwing farther I became more enthusiastic about the event even though it's secondary to the discus."
"I was able to improve some things about my form too, although I've still got a long ways to go. The biggest thing was being able to stay lower. This allows more uses of the big back muscles. Nieder does that real well. In getting lower I also got more speed across the ring."
Baylor Can Regain Lead
Elgin Baylor gets a chance to regain the college basketball scoring leadership tonight when he leads Seattle against Idaho State in a possible NCAA tournament preview.
Oscar Robertson hung on to first place by a narrow margin Tuesday night when he helped Cincinnati down Dayton, 70-66. However, Robertson's season average slipped from 35.08 to 34.76 as he netted "only" 27 points.
It's Baylor's turn tonight and if the Seattle ace, who has a 34.55 average, totals 40 points against Idaho State, he'll be back on top. This is a return meeting between the Chieffitts and the Bengals, who could collide in the NCAA Far West regional playoffs next week at San Francisco.
Baylor scored 32 points against Idaho State Feb. 22, but it wasn't enough as the Rocky Mountain Conference champions upset Seattle, 71-68, in overtime.

fight with Kansas State for the regular-season national championship, almost blew Tuesday night's game against Dayton before a record-breaking crowd of 15,011 fans at Cincinnati.
The Flyers, after trailing by 17 points midway through the last half, tied the score at 66-all on a basket by Arlen Bockhorm with 42 seconds remaining. However, Wayne Stevens tipped in a missed free throw by Robertson to give the Bearcats their 22nd victory in 25 games.
It was the final regular-season game for Dayton, which will carry a 26-3 record into next week's National Invitation Tournament at New York.
Southern Methodist and Arkansas wound up in a tie for first place in the Southwest Conference race when the Mustangs defeated Baylor, 77-52, and the Razorbacks defeated Texas, 74-60.
