Cornhuskers Smash KU Title Hopes Nebraska Wins,43-41; He Gets It Right-- Jayhawkers To Ames Scorekeeper Busy At Games
The Kansas Jayhawkers, with almost all hope lost for a shot at the Big Eight crown, tonight try to get back on the winning side as they meet the Iowa State Cyclones at Ames.
They will be meeting a Big Eight team noted for ball control methods—the main thing that cost them the game with Nebraska Saturday night. The Jayhawkers suffered their third conference loss to the Cornhuskers in a game which KU was expected to win without any trouble.
Kansas handed Nebraska the worst defeat any conference team has suffered just two weeks previous, defeating them 102-46.
It was Nebraska guard Jimmy Kubacki who dealt Kansas the fatal blow. With two seconds left and the score tied, the 5-foot 10-inch guard fired a shot from just right of the free throw circle. His shot was perfect.
Time-out Futile
Kansas tried to call time out but the final gun had sounded. Kubacki was buried under a throng of players and fans. Finally the crowd got Kubacki on their shoulders and carried him from the court.
Just seven minutes prior to this bedlam Kubacki was sitting on the Nebraska bench in street clothes, out because of an injury. With 6:53 left Cornhusker Gary Reimers was injured. After pleading with Nebraska coach Jerry Bush, Kubacki was allowed to go suit up to replace Reimers.
Ball-control was Nebraska's weapon and they used it successfully. The Cornhuskers took only 23 shots from the field. They made 14 of these for 61 per cent. They hit 15 out of 24 free throws attempts for 62 per cent.
Kansas hit 33 per cent from the field and 53 per cent at the free throw line. Kansas' Wilt Chamberlain was held to 18 points. In the previous game with Nebraska he matched their total output, picking up 46 for a conference record. Bush had promised Chamberlain wouldn't do that well again—and he didn't.
No Prediction from Harp
Dick harp declined to make any predictions on the game tonight saving:
"We thought when we had to make the trip without Bob Billings that Iowa State would be pretty tough on us. Now we don't know what to think."
Iowa State coach Bill Strannigan commented after the KU game Feb. 15: "We don't like things like that. We've got a tremendous chore ahead of us if we hope to do anything about it. Kansas is a great club but we think we'll be ready next time."
KU Ends Indoor Season Unbeaten
The Kansas Jayhawks, all-victorious in indoor meets this season, start preparation this week to defend their Big Eight Indoor Track title in Kansas City, Mo.
The Jayhawkers finished their dual meets with a 70-33 romp over Missouri. This avenged a $59_{1/2}-$ $44_{1/2}$ loss at the hands of the Tigers last season.
Three new meet records were set, two by Kansas and one by Missouri. KU's Charlie Tidwell took first place in the 60-yard dash with a :06.1 timing. The old record was :06.2. Jayhawker Ernie Shelby leaped 25-feet $^{4}$-inches in the broad jump to better the old record by almost $^{1/2}$ feet.
Missouri's Jim Green high jumped 6-feet 6-inches to break the old record of 6-feet $5 \%$ -inches.
Kansan Tom Skutka was high point man for the night, picking up first place points in the mile and 88-yard run. Skutka ran the fastest indoor mile of his career at 4:14. His 880 mark was just seven tenths of a second off his best time.
Skutkta led all the way in the mile run. In the 880 he trailed Jayhawker Tague until the final 50-yards.
Kansan Ray Wyatt placed first in the quarter mile with a :51.1 clocking, then ran a :50.6 quarter in the mile relay to bring Kansas from behind in that event. Anchorman Mike Cummings then ran a :51.1 final quarter to win by 12 yards.
The other two first place honors for Kansas were from Jerry McNeal's: 9:25 2-mile run and Bill Tillman's: 07.5 time in the 60-yard high hurdles.
Kansas made clean sweeps in the 440-yard dash, the two-mile run, the mile run and the 880-yard run.

Although 17,000 fans watch a basketball game in Allen Field House, only one man there can give you the score and be sure that it's the right score.
He's the man in the red coat whose records go undisputed once he's said. "Chalk one up for him."
Edwin D. Goebel, official Allen Field House scorekeeper and geologist with the State Geological Survey, packs his coat pockets with sharp pencils, gets comfortable at a court side table, turns to a new page in his record book and goes to work a half hour before game time.
His official duties begin with recording lineup and substitution lists. His work is finished a few minutes after the final whistle when he checks totals and closes the book on another official game.
"You can't call this work," he said. "The way I like basketball this is just concentration on pleasure.
"Keeping the points straight takes a lot of concentration, but that comes easy if you're a real basketball fan, but these Kansas boys keep me busy. I think I can
It's Not Work
safely say that I'm the busiest scorekeeper in the Big Eight conference.
“During the game I watch the referees as much if not more than the players,” Mr. Goebel said. “We communicate through sign language. I keep fouls straight by watching referees; they watch me for the word on how many shots are coming to a free thrower. I hold up a red card with a big black "X" to indicate that a team has six fouls for that half and that the player will get a one and one shot.
To KU From Iowa
Mr. Goebel, geologist in charge of the oil and gas division of the State Geological Survey, came to KU from Iowa University in 1951. He worked for five years with Don Pierce and the KU sports publicity staff.
"Ive played a little ball, but I don't consider myself much of an athlete," he said. While he was doing undergraduate work at Augustana College, Rock Island, Ill., he was in charge of eight amateur industrial basketball leagues in Moline, Ill. He also refereed games organized through the Moline YMCA.
"As I mark down each score or foul I call off the players name or number to Mr. Mikols," he said. The word is passed from timers and clockers to other helpers at the table. When the score gets to a telephone at the end of the table a man calls the public address announcer and the Jayhawk gets his cue to shine—if KU has scored.
But Mr. Goebel said even though the Jayhawker lights up with a "rock chalk" twinkle in his eye, those numbers on his score board perch aren't for the record. He said the bird is too prejudiced to call 'em as he sees 'em all the time, but he's usually right. If fans don't agree with the posted score, the referees check with Mr. Goebel's books to straighten out the discrepancy.

Phi Psi, Phi Gams Meet For Title
Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Gamma Delta will meet each other for the Fraternity A championship as both teams were victorious in their semi-final games Friday night.
Phi Kappa Psi squeezed out a victory over Phi Delta Theta, 37-36, in their semi-final game.
Using a balanced attack the Phi Psi's jumped to a 13-10 lead at half time. But the Phi Delts, with Frank Becker and Bob Mettlen leading the way, went ahead 24-22 at the end of the third quarter. Led by Jim Brownfield the Phi Psi's came right back and went on to win by a 1-point margin.
Brownfield was high man for the game with 12 points. Other scorers in the Phi Psi attack were Bob McMichael 8, John Flanagin 7, Dick Foreman 5 and Gary Cooper 4.
"My wife has no objections to my job," he said. "In fact there's always a baby sitter at our house on game nights. Mrs. Goebel hasn't missed a game. Her cheers from across the way always let me know when KU scores. I couldn't get along without her or my red coat." he said.
In the other Fraternity A semifinal play off game, the defending champion Phi Gams had an easy time of it. They defeated Sigma Chi. 47-37.
Led by John Peppercorn the Phi Gam's jumped to a first quarter lead of 15-6. After that they were never headed.
