Canfield tallies 39 points
Frosh rebound edge KSU
Led by Randy Canfield's career high 39 points the Kansas freshmen made a great second half comeback to defeat the Kansas State freshmen 84-78 in Saturday night's preliminary game.
Gymnasts set records in defeat
The Kansas State gymnastics team defeated Kansas Friday night 159.90 to 159.15 to break the Jayhawks' streak of 10 straight wins in dual competition.
It was a frustrating night for coach Bob Lockwood's squad as they broke four team and individual records en route to only their second defeat of the year.
The big difference was the Wildcats' Ken Snow who captured four first place finishes while placing in six of the seven events.
Following the match Lockwood attributed the loss to early missed routines.
"We were just a few routines away from it," he said. "We had one miss in the floor exercise at the first and that really hurt us. Also we had four misses on the side horse—we just didn't hit that well all the way through."
The Jayhawks simply met the Wildcats on the wrong night as K-State, who like KU is fielding its best team in history, bettered its best team score by more than two points.
A near capacity crowd watched the Jayhawks as they established four new records.
Aitchison junior Kirk Gardner scored a brilliant 9.50 on the still rings to pace a team score of 27.30 for the first record. John Brouillette, Wichita junior, and Mark Hannah, Overland Park junior, scored 9.10 and 8.70 respectively to add to the score.
Ron Faunce, Topeka sophomore,
Dan Bradfield, Overland Park
junior, and Brouillette all scored
at least 9.0 en route to a team
record score of 27.40 on the long
horse. Faunce and Bradfield each
scored 9.20 to pace the scoring.
The team score of 159.15, paced by nine 9.0 or better performances, was the third team record established while Brouillette's 52.30 score in all-around competition was the fourth mark established.
COSTLY 1968 FIRES
NEW YORK—Eight fires with insured losses over $3 million each occurred in the United States in 1968, reports the Insurance Information Institute. The most costly was a $12 million fire involving chemicals in Taft, La.
After maintaining the lead through most of the first 11 minutes the Jayhawks became foul plagued and the Wildcats took advantage finally taking the lead, 23-21, with 8:37 remaining in the half.
With Mike Bossard, 6-6 Washington, D.C. forward, sitting on the bench with three fouls the Jayhawks lost their rebounding domination and K-State built and maintained an eight point lead throughout much of the time remaining. A Canfield tip shot at the buzzer cut the Wildcat lead to six, 45-39, as the two teams retired for halftime.
As the teams returned to the floor for the second half the crowd had grown considerably in anticipation of the varsity game and it seemed to make a difference in KU's play.
With greater fan support the freshmen began to eat away at the K-State lead until a Leonard Gray jump shot with 13:47 left to play tied the score, 51-51.
The two teams traded baskets for the next three minutes before K-State, behind 6-5 forward Ernie Kusnyer, scored five straight points to take a 64-59 lead with 8:35 showing on the clock.

The Jayhawks slowly rallied behind the growing support of KU fans making their way into Allen Field House and finally tied the score, 74-74, on a Canfield
turn around jump shot with 3:58
left.
The Wildcats' doom was soon to follow after Kusnyer, K-State's leading scorer, picked up his fifth personal foul. The Oklahoma City product did not like the call and informed the official of his feelings resulting in a technical foul in addition.
Mark Williams, hitting 77 per cent of his free throws coming into the game, missed both attempts and the Wildcats took the lead two minutes later, 76-74.
At this point Bossard personally took charge of another KU rally scoring six straight points to put the Jayhawks in front, 80-76, to play. 0:26 to play.
Gray followed with two free throws at the 0:15 mark to build the KU lead to six, 82-76, before Marcus Kemper hit a short jumper for K-State to make it 82-78 with eight seconds remaining to play.
Bossard regained the six point lead with a layin just before the final buzzer and the Jayhawks left the floor with an 84-78 win.
Canfield, the 6-11 Wichita product, got good scoring support from Bossard and Gray, who each tallied 18 points. Williams was held far below his 19 point average with just nine points.
Kusnyer led K-State scoring with 27 points.
KU ended its season with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses.
