NU Downs K-State, Awaits KU KU Matmen Fall
KANSAS CITY — (UPI)— Nebraska basketball coach Joe Cipriano isn't exactly an optimist. But then he isn't a pessimist either.
Cipriano didn't get that "Slippery Joe" nickname for nothing.
LAST FALL he sized up his Cornhuskers' chances in the Big Eight Basketball race with a gleam in his eye:
"We're moving better, our press has looked good and we feel we'll have more shooting ability."
Cipriano's Cornhuskers, now after two weeks of the league season, are running neck-and-neck with 10th-ranked and preseason favorite Kansas. The Huskers are 3-0 in the conference, a half game behind KU 4-0.
SLIPPERY JOE offered the idea that the Big Eight "will be much tougher this year, which may make our improvement less noticeable. But we certainly are aiming for a first-division spot if at all possible."
Did this mean Cipriano's Huskers, who finished seventh in the conference and 10-15 last year, would be improved?
NEBRASKA, with eight victories in its last night game, entertains Kansas Tuesday night at Lincoln and Cipriano feels the
"This is a prime factor in the Free-style events because it enables the swimmers to know when to make their turns," Coach Reamon said.

to leave them undefeated for the

The varsity now stands 3-1 in the season. The next meet will be against Oklahoma State next Saturday at 2 p.m., in the Robinson pool.
KU's Varsity swimmers had their first taste of defeat in Big Eight competition Saturday afternoon, bowing to the K-State Wildcats 48-47, at Manhattan.

COACH DICK REAMON felt that all of his men turned in good efforts, but the pool conditions at K-State hampered the performance of both teams, he said. The K-State pool, unlike most other pools in the Big Eight, has no turn markers on the bottom or at the ends of the pool.

Kansas pits its eight-game winning streak against the Huskers, including a win over Nebraska for the Big Eight tourney title last month at Kansas City.
NEBRASKA hasn't enjoyed a winning hardwood season since 1949-50 when Harry Good coached the Huskers to a 16-7 campaign. Nebraska needs just two more victories to assure its first winning season in 16 years.

of Missouri and the University of Omaha, both of which have good teams; and Iowa State University, which is rated one of the top teams in the nation.
How does Slippery Joe feel about his chances?
"I'll believe it when I see it," he says.
Included in the Huskers' three league wins are tough road games with contenders Iowa State and K-State and a homecourt victory over Missouri.
THE KANSAS-Nebraska clash is one of five league games set this week. Iowa State travels to Colorado to tip off the week's action tonight and K-State entertains the touring Mexico Nationals in a game which will not count on the Wildcats' record.
Three games Saturday night conclude the week's card with K-State meeting Kansas at Lawrence in the headliner. Elsewhere Saturday Nebraska hosts Oklahoma and Oklahoma State travels to Iowa State. Missouri is idle this week during its first term final exams.
Kansas University's wrestling team went down Friday night to a good team from Central Missouri State 36-5 in Allen Field House.

THE YOUNG Kansas squad never seemed to get started against the fast moving team from Warrensburg. Had it not been for the heavyweight division and footballer Mike Sweatman the KU team would have been completely shut out. But Sweatman needed only 12 seconds to beat his man by a default.
