KU defeats pokes 60-50
Bu RICHARD LUNDQUIST
The Jayhawks took one step closer to the Big Eight basketball championship with a 60-50 victory over pesky Oklahoma State last night in the Cowboys' home corral.
After a see-saw first half which ended in a 28-28 deadlock, the Hawks came out after intermission to grab the lead 30-29 on a basket by Howard Arndt. From that point on KU was never headed as they coasted to their seventh straight victory.
Oklahoma State fans roared for an upset as their favorites gave KU everything they could handle in the first half. Led by Jim Feamster's nine points and a defense that forced the Jayhawks into eight turnovers, the Cowboys led by as many as six points during the first half.
BUT KU came from behind to tie the score at 28-28 with a 30-footer by Jo Je White just as the half-time gun sounded.
Sparked by White and Rodger Bohnenstiehl, the UPI's fifth-ranked team dominated the second half of action. White popped in 12 points and Bohnenstiehl gunned in 13 during the second half to pace the KU comeback.
This and the fact that KU's pressure defense forced the methodical Cowboys into 10 turnovers in the second half, tells the story of the game.
White, gunning mostly from long-range, took home high point honors with 22. He was followed by Bohnenstiehl with 18.
FEAMSTER AND Joe Smith led the Oklahoma State point parade with 12 points each.
For the game the league-leading Jayhawks shot 50 per cent from the field while the Cowboys connected on 40 per cent of their field goal attempts.
The victory pushes KU's conference record to nine wins and one loss. Their overall mark now stands at 18 and 3.
NCAA reconsiders 1.6 rule
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)— The NCAA will allow the Ivy League to participate in postseason championship events this spring.
But the status of the Ivy League schools in future national Collegiate championship events will depend on whether the league and the National Collegiate Athletic Association can settle their disagreement on the controversial NCAA 1.6 grade point average eligibility rule.
Marcus L. Plant, professor of law at the University of Michigan and NCAA president, announced the interim agreement Sunday. He said Kingman Brewster Jr., president of Yale University and chairman of the Ivy League, agreed with the interim plan.
"NICE GUY" TURNS OUT NOT SO
FARNHAM, England—(UPI)—Village motorists here thought new traffic cop Dave Pugh was a really fine fellow. He handed out friendly warnings instead of tickets. But it didn't last long. Pugh was only on trial as a policeman. When he made the grade he had a record of every offense and the names and addresses of the offenders—and caught up with hisickets.
Regionals half sold out
B-ball seats going fast
Bu DON WALKER
Between one-half and two-thirds of the seats for both nights of the NCAA Midwest Regional Basketball Tournament, March 17-18 in Allen Field House, have been sold.
Nick Roach, ticket manager, said that tickets can be ordered by mail or bought at the ticket office in Allen Field House and are sold on a first come first serve basis.
THE PRICE of all seats for each evening is $4, Roach said, but priority is given to orders for both nights, following an NCAA directive. For one-night orders, preference will be determined by the dates of order and payment.
Roach suggested to KU students that they specify in their orders the general area they preferred.
"Many students have already requested seats in the bleachers at both ends of the court to form a cheering section," he said, "and we will accommodate as many students there as we can."
Roach said that ticket sales are averaging 1,000 a day and are picking up as KU continues to win games. He expects a

HE ALSO FEELS that sales will increase as Louisville nears the Missouri Valley Conference title, but "they are still a couple of games away."
Tickets will be mailed about March 7.
Sales for the K-State game represent the season's only sell-out, Roach said, but the contests with Nebraska and Iowa State fell short by only 100 and 150, respectively, in the 17,000 seat fieldhouse.
