Gym,Mat Team Score In League
KU's gymnastics and wrestling teams scored in their respective Big Eight championship tournaments over the weekend, but failed to make the winner's circle in either of the contests.
The Jayhawk Gymnasts scored 13 points in their loop meet at Ames, Iowa. The Nebraska Cornhuskers, winners of the title, scored 203.5 points to win easily in the first annual conference meet.
Iowa State finished second with 154.5, Colorado was next with 129, KU next, and Kansas State followed the Javhawks with 4.
The wrestling team scored 4 points in their conference meet at Stillwater, Oklahoma thanks to a fourth-place win by Bill Brackett in the 115-pound class.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys won the championship by scoring 103 points—the most ever scored by a Big Eight team in the championship tournament.
In winning their title, the Cowboys advanced a man to the finals of the tournament in each of the 10 weight classes. The win was the fourth consecutive for the O-Staters.
Iowa State finished second in the competition with 79 points. Colorado was third with 55, Oklahoma fourth with 42, Kansas State fifth with 16 and Nebraska sixth with 6. Missouri did not enter a team in the tournament.
KU's Fred Elder was seeded number two in the heavyweight class, but lost to Baker of K-State whom he had tied in an earlier meeting. Phil Doughty advanced to the semifinals on a bye, then lost to Teckham of Iowa State.
Coach Terry Shockley said he thought the Jayhawk wrestlers were warmly accepted at the tournament. This has been the first year for varsity wrestling at KU and Shockley said he thought the team made a good showing under the circumstances.
The first business meeting of the KU Cricket Club will be at 7:30 p.m. today in the Cottontwood room of the Kansas Union.
