Second-Half Rally Sparks Victory
With a second-half effort combining a half-court zone press and new-found inspiration, the KU Jayhawks surged to an 82-65 win over the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday night.
Playing their first game on home soil since Dec. 10, the Jayhawks took advantage of the opportunity to show the campus and local fans what it took to win
the Big Eight Tournament over the Christmas holidays.
"Wonderful" Walt Wesley scored a season-high total of 39 points in pacing KU to its second conference victory without a defeat before 14,500 fans. In second place for game scoring honors was Don Smith of the Cyclones with 25.
SMITH ASSUMED the task of
guarding Wesley but was ineffective against his accurate hook shots, set shots, and jump shots. When one man proved ineffective, Iowa State began dropping its forwards on Wesley. This did little more than increase the traffic around the basket as he connected on 17 of 25 shots from the field. With five for seven at the charity strip, Weslay came within a scant three points of his career-high total of 42.
Hawks Drown NU Bill Johnson Sets Big 8 Record As Swimmers Capture Third Win
Coach Dick Reamon's KU Varsity swimmers brought home their third victory in three starts, by defeating Nebraska, 56-38 in Robinson Pool Saturday afternoon.
The young and predominantly sophomore squad was paced by Don Pennington, Shawnee Mission junior, who won three first place positions for the Jays. Pennington captured the top spot in the 160-yd. Individual Medley, 200-yd. Butterfly and 500-yd. Freestyle.
Wesley were the ultimate rebound leaders with 11 and nine, respectively.
ANOTHER JAYHAWK who was doing big things Saturday was Bill Johnson, Tulsa, Okla., senior who set a Big Enght record in the 200-yd. backstroke with a time of 2:04.9. The old record was set by John Day of OU in 1962 with a time of 2:05.7.
The varsity swimmers stand 3-0 for the season. They have defeated the Air Force Academy and Colorado. Saturday they take on K-State at Manhattan.
THE RESULTS:

During the first half, KU demonstrated the opposite extreme to their second-half performance. Hitting only 32 per cent of their shots, the Jayhawks were forced to rely on the rebounding efforts of Wesley, Al Lopes, and Ron Franz to stay within range of the Cleyones.

After only one day of rest, KU takes an unblemished 2-0 conference record into the contest with the Oklahoma Sooners at eight tonight in Allen Field House. Iowa State, 0-2 in league play, travels to Columbia for a meeting with the Missouri Tigers.

THOUGH Wesley ruled when KU had the ball, a superb defensive show, engineered by small Delly Lewis, made it all possible. The second half defense was characterized by a harrowing half-court zone press which caused the Cyclones to make many mistakes and turn the ball over on 14 occasions. Iowa State gave up the ball 19 times on turnovers for the game to only five for the victors.

After a less-than-medicore first half, the Jayhawks fired out of the dressing room after intermission to outscore their opponents by 50 to 28 in the final stanza. With 17:54 remaining in the game, KU trailed 39-41. The scrambling Jayhawks then ran the total to 59-48 with 10:54 remaining.
Raul Duarte, 6-9 center for the Cyclones, fouled out with 17:54 remaining, and this was a severe blow to their rebounding efforts against 6-11 Wesley. Smith and

The first car at the bottom of the world.
They wanted a car that "any member of the party could hop into and drive off without a moment's hesitation."
The Australian National Research Expedition really had no choice.
And the Volkswagen just happens to fill the bill.
The big trick is the VW's air-cooled rear engine. It has no radiator. It uses no water or antifreeze. It just goes.
(Antarctica #1 stood for days in $40^{\circ}$ below zero weather and started without a tremble.)
The rear engine gave the VW so
much extra traction it climbed "straight up and down the slopes." (But they cheated a little; sometimes they put chains on the back wheels.)
Another reason the VW went where even the dogs wouldn't is the sealed bottom. It took an awful beating, but that's what it's there for: To protect the works inside against the weather outside.
The conditions got so fierce that one man said, "Now we know what it'll be like when Hell freezes over."
So if it ever does, you know what car to buy.
