FOLLOWING Brill's field goal, KU guard David Schichtle picked up a loose ball and passed to Wayne Loving. Loving was fouled by Cofeyville's Jerry Burton as he dribbed toward the basket for a shot.
Loving, 5-11 Kansas City guard, made his first free throw but missed his second. The Red Ravens rebounded and "stalled" the ball the remaining 45 seconds of the game.
UNSELD, 6-7 from Louisville, Ky., was the game's high scorer. Unseld scored 15 points, connecting on five out of 20 field goal attempts and scoring five out of 10 free throw attempts.

The halftime score was 31-27 in favor of the Red Ravens.

Jayhawk Swimmers Perform Poorly; Coach Markley Remains Confident
Although his swimming team showed poorly in a triangular meet with Wyoming and Nebraska Saturday, coach Jay Markley said he is still confident about his team's chances in the conference meet this weekend.
Markley said that the poor performance helped to bring his swimmers "back to earth" and show them that they will have to work hard to do well in the conference meet.
"IN THE PAST, it has helped to do poorly the week before the conference," he said. "Every year we have swum better in the conference meet, let's hope this year is the same."
influence on the outcome of the meet.
In discussing Saturday's meet, Markley said "The team didn't swim up to its potential."
Markley said that he was surprised at the strength of Nebraska, which the KU team defeated 48-47. He said that if Nebraska is as strong in the conference meet as it was at Lincoln Saturday, they could have a great
"NEBRASKA should beat out some of the Oklahoma and Iowa State swimmers, so if we can beat Nebraska, they could be a great help to us," Markley said.
"If we can't beat them, however they could really hurt us," he added. In discussing his swimmers, Markley said they had done very poorly with the exception of freestylers Ludy Harman, Stewart Anderson, and Eldon Ward.
"Stew swam a real good race, better than ever before. Ludy (Harman) beat him by a second in the 440, but Stew was gaining all the way."
Anderson followed the example of teammate Harman and shaved his legs before the meet. It is thought that shaving gives the swimmer a psychological advantage along with cutting down the water resistance of the body.
ANDERSON SAID, "When I first went in the water, my legs felt so
light. I almost felt top heavy. It definitely helped me, there's no doubt about it."
Although Anderson did not take any firsts in the meet, he did cut his time on both the 220 and the 440-yard freestyle. In both of the events, he was edged by Harman, whom Markley describes as one of the fastest improving men on the team.
Markley also said he was pleased with the performance of captain and all America Eldon Ward, who won the 100-yard freestyle.
"ELDON HAS started coming around," the Jayhawk mentor said.
Wyoming, who beat the Jayhawkers 54-41, started the meet like they were going to win handily taking firsts in the first six events.
The Kansas swimmers showed that they could not be taken for granted as Ward won the 100-yard freestyle in 51.4 seconds and George Winter took the 200-yard backstroke in 2:11.3.
