It will be the first time in five years that KU, who can finish no higher than second in the con-
Wildcats in Manhattan. That game was a key victory for K-State in its march to the title.
K-State coach Cotton Fitzsimmons, is his second year at the Wildcat helm, owns a 2-1 won-lost record against KU and will depend heavily on his guard combination of Jeff Webb and
and juniors Eddie Smith and Terry Snider among others. The Wildcats have repeatedly depended on their bench throughout the season and has been noted by Fitzsimmons as possibly being the one big factor in K-State's winning the conference championship.

BOULDER, Colo. (UPI) — Iowa State gave the University of Colorado a start, but the Buffers came back with a vengeance to blast the Cyclones 107-79 Thursday night in Big Eight basketball action.
The game left the defending Big Eight champion Buffs with a 6-7 conference record for the season and pushed the Cyclones back to a 5-8 record.

Wheeler Hughes to improve it.
Hughes, a 6-1 senior guard, was tabbed in pre-season by Fitzsimmons as a possible "super" player. Fitzsimmons was quoted as saying that Hughes had all the tools to become one of the nation's great guards. An excellent ball handler and passer Hughes is averaging eight points a game.
Wheeler Tiggers to improve in Webb, a 6-4 senior from West Allis, Wis., has been described by Fitzsimmons as a top pressure man. In 25 games this season he is averaging 11 points a game and is hitting 78 per cent of his free throws to lead the Wildcats in that department.
Chet Lawrence

In the next 13 years, with Russel at center, Boston won nine division championships and 11 NBA titles.
Russell "didn't just play a great 48 minutes of pro basketball." Sporting News said. "He influenced the entire defensive side of the game. Except in very rare instances, and then for only extremely short periods of time, does defense ever catch up with offense in sports."
