KU Topples 'Huskers; OSU Wins Too
the KU Jayhawks wrapped up their eighth conference win of the season last night when they defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 71-62, in Allen Field House.
KU is now 8-4 for conference play and continues in the race for the Big Eight title. Oklahoma State also maintained their assault on the crown when they defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in Stillwater, 64-54.
It was no easy victory and coach Ted Owens' Jayhawks didn't have the game cinched until the last few minutes.
The fired-up Cornhuskers jumped to an early lead. They held a four point advantage over the Jayhawks from about $3\frac{1}{2}$ minutes into the game. With 14:30 remaining, the Nebraska squad has upped their lead to eight points while they towered over the Jayhawks, 12-4.

The KU team was plagued by heavy fouling in the first period which helped the Cornhuskers to their early advantage in the slow-starting game.
Nebraska failed to go into the delay game they have been playing for the last several contests when they took over the lead. However, after

the first half of the first period, KU began to move ahead on the shooting of Al Lopes and Walt Wesley.
Wesley fell prey to fouls in the first period as he picked up his third with 10:47 still remaining in the half. Owens substituted Gough in his place.
In fact, substitution was the rule for KU during the first half. Owens spent a good deal of time dropping in new men around starters Wesley and Lewis trying to find a combination that would click against the Cornhuskers.
During the first period the Cornhuskers used a downcourt press in varying degrees with much success in harassing the Jayhawks' guards. At times there would be no real press and sometimes there would be four men covering the Jayhawks in the back court.
KU had come from behind by the end of the first half and had captured a 10-point lead over the Cornhuskers, 38-28, when the gun sounded.
A fired-up KU squad took the floor for the second half and quickly added points to their lead. The Jayhawks dropped in five counters be-
KU Skiers Plan Third Trip; Head for Aspen
SKIERS AT BRECKENRIDGE—Members of the KU Ski Club take a "photo" break during a trip to Breckenridge last Christmas.
The KU Ski Club, in what it regards as its most successful year, is planning a third skiing trip for spring vacation, April 3-11, to fabled Aspen.
Thirty members made a trip at Christmas to Breckenridge, Colo., Arapho Basin and Vail, and 75 members went on a trip between semesters to Winter Park, Colo.
Under the leadership of Marty Knight, Shawnee Mission senior and club president, the KU skiers have had the most active year since they organized six years ago. The local club is sponsored by the KU-Y.
Among its members was the dean of education and business at Northwest Texas State. On his return to Texas, the dean wrote an unsolicited letter to Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, commending the KU students on their conduct. Another compliment bestowed upon the local group was by the lodge manager, Hi Lewis. According to Miss Knight, Lewis will no longer accommodate any group larger than 12. But the
lodge manager said he would accommodate KU again because of the fine way they conducted themselves.
One usually associates broken bones with ski trips, but in this regard the KU group has a phenomenal record. In the past three years, which includes six trips, not a single KU skier has returned with a broken bone. Miss Knight said the most serious injuries suffered by the skiers have been sprains or injuries to the ankles and knees. She added that skiers often receive frost bite while skiing, but it is of a minor nature.
The record of having not suffered any serious injuries could be partly attributed to the fact that KU is built on a hill, and students walk a great deal, so strengthening their leg muscles. Miss Knight said that strong legs are important to skiers, and a good preventative for broken bones.
The KU club, which usually meets once a month, has 225 paid members

and about 200 who are on the inactive list. Membership is required in order to go on a trip, and is open to any student or faculty member. Anyone may sign up for the trips at the KU-Y office in the Kansas Union.

Price lists for the trips include transportation, room, board, insurance, tows and instruction. This includes everything but skis, boots and poles; this equipment rents for approximately $11.50 a week or $7 for four days.
Cost of the spring vacation trip is $128. A $20 deposit is due March 1, and the total amount by March 15. The group will be at Aspen for seven days, and will stay at the Chateau Kirk.
The KU club furnishes its own instructors for each trip. They conduct about four hours of organized classes each day. Miss Knight said that only about half of the members on the Christmas trip knew how to ski before going to Colorado. A sponsor also accompanies the club on each trip.
Miss Knight said the temperature during the mid-semester trip to Winter Park ranged from 25 degrees at the bottom of the mountain, and to -10 degrees at the top of the slope. The nighttime temperatures dropped to 40 below zero.
NEW YORK—(UPP) -Wilt Chamberlain, adjusting to the Philadelphia 76ers' style of play, has apparently regained his former scoring punch.

The KU skiers will have access to three skiing areas in Aspen. They are Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk.
The varied down-court press by the Nebraskans was not as successful as it had been in the first half. KU guards put on a display of dribbling skills to break the 'Huskers' press and guard Del Lewis managed several quick counters from the outside.
Miss Knight said the ski slopes are usually not crowded during the weekdays. Several other university clubs, including Wisconsin, Texas, California, Kansas State and Nebraska, have been at the skiing areas during the vacation periods.
fore the Nebraska team got on the scoreboard with 17:16 remaining.
Chamberlain had been averaging less than 27 points a game since joining the 76ers. But in three contests last week he poured in an average of 39 markers to boost his season's mark to 35.5 through games of last Sunday, according to National Basketball Association statistics released today.
Wilt Adds A Few To NBA Average
Wesley again took scoring honors for the game with 21 points—seven under his game average. Lopes, Franz, and Lewis were runners-up in the scoring with 13, 14, and 15 points respectively.
Nebraska's scoring efforts were never quite enough to whittle down the KU lead and the improved shooting of the Jayhawks made it easier for them to maintain the advantage. The only KU casualty of the scoring battle was Lopes who fouled out of the game with 10:11 remaining. Nebraska lost guard Grant Simmons with less than two minutes left.
