University Daily Kansan SPORTS Huskers End K-State Streak
By UNITED PRESS
Don't even whisper the name Nebraska today to any basket- ball-minded citizen of the state of Kansas.
Still flushed by their upset victory over Kansas only nine days ago, the Cornhuskers produced another shocker Monday night by defeating top-ranked Kansas State, 55-48, at Lincoln, Neb.
It was the Wildcats' first defeat in their last 12 games and only their second setback in 22 contests this season. What's more, it could cost them the regular-season national championship when the coaches file their ballots in the final United Press ratings next week.
But it was evident the Wildcats' 11-game winning streak was due for a downfall last night as Nebraska never relinquished its lead in the second half. The score was tied five times before the intermission with halftime score, 24-21, Nebraska.
Nebraska used the same slowdown tactics that proved so successful against Kansas in ending State's winning streak. The Cornhuskers, coached by former professional star Jerry Bush, had a 24-21 lead at halftime and fought off State the rest of the way.
Bob Boozer kept the Wildcats within hailing distance in the first half by scoring their first 13 points. However, he fouled out with $8^{\frac{1}{2}}$ minutes to play and State never caught up. Boozer scored 20 points while Wilson Fitzpatrick paced the Huskers with 19.
Boozer accounted for 17 of the losers' scores in the first half. A big dent in the K-State attack was the loss of ace Jack Parr who was out of the lineup.
Nebraska coach Jerry Bush said later, "I'm the happiest coach in the country." He was congratulated by a long-faced Tex Winter, K-State coach.
In other conference games Monday night, Iowa State kept its hopes for a second place finish in the loop by downing stubborn Oklahoma 66-55. The Cyclones are now in a second-place tie with Kansas.
Halftime score was 30-all. It was free throws that kept Iowa State in the game as it scored only eight field goals in the second half.
John Crawford led the winners with 21 points while Joe King scored 16 for the Sooners.
Colorado got top performances out of its starting guards Gary Schroeder and Larry Pitts to down Missouri, 59-45 in a battle for sixth place in the league.
Schroeder nabbed 24 points and Pitts 18 for the Buffs. Cliff alley had 12 for Missouri and Sonny Siebert scored 10. Halftime score was 22-16, Colorado.
Big Ten Tied Up
Indiana tied Michigan State for first place in the Big Ten Conference by defeating Illinois Monday night, 96-86. The Hoosiers and the Spartans will meet at East Lansing Saturday in a showdown for the conference championship and an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.
After trailing by 11 points early in the contest, Indiana rallied to tie the score at 45-all at intermission and then pulled ahead to stay by scoring seven straight points at the start of the second half. Archie Dees, the Big Ten's leading scorer, totaled 33 points for the Hoosiers.
A pair of free throws by Royce Youree in the final minute climaxed Arizona State's uphill fight against Arizona, while Ken Nanson scored 17 points in sparking Oregon State to its runaway victory.
Arizona (Tempe) State edged Arizona, 78-76, to clinch the Border Conference title and a berth in the NCAA, while Oregon State remained in the running for the Pacific Coast Conference crown by defeating Washington State. 69-31.
Bradley celebrated its acceptance of a bid to defend its title in the National Invitational Tournament by downing Wichita, 85-80, with the
A last-second basket by Rich Rogers enabled St. Louis to edge Oklahoma State, 54-53. It was the Cowboys' fifth setback since they accepted a bid to the NCAA tournament.
Red Murrell set three records as he closed out his collegiate career with a 51-point effort that carried Drake to an 88-87 overtime victory over Houston. Murrell's 51 points, his season total of 668 and his career total of 1,637 were new highwater marks for an Iowa major college player.
