By United Press International
By United Press International Kansas defeated Nebraska, 100-87. Tuesday night but as every Jayhawk knows, it's probably too late.
The victory left Kansas with a 5-4 Big Eight Conference record, far behind Kansas State's 8-2. The Wildcats took a giant stride toward the conference title and a berth in the NCAA Midwest Regional with a 63-60 victory over Missouri Monday. All other Big Eight teams have at least five losses.
Kansas' victory at Lawrence was the 32nd by the home team in 39 Big Eight games this season. Kansas State has captured three of the seven games won by visiting teams, which is the biggest reason for the Wildcats' overwhelming lead.
Kansas still has road games at Colorado, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma left, while K-State still must play at Oklahoma and Kansas.

Big 8 athletes shine in meet
KANSAS CITY (UPI) — Performances on the five-lap track in the Houston Astrodome left Big Eight athletes' spirits soaring this week.
Conference athletes registered the best performances of the indoor season in seven events on the big-banked track, which most performers say is better than running outdoors.
Indoor tracks are usually of the eight or 12-lap variety, while the Astrodome surface is almost as big as the four-lap outdoor tracks.
At any rate, three of the best performances were off the track. Kansas' Karl Salb registered a shot put of $67-5^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Kansas' Phil Reaves sailed 24-9 in the long jump and Kansas State's Ray McGill scaled 7-0 in the high jump.
Also registering Big Eight bests in Houston were Iowa State's Fran Long, 47.3 in the 440-yard dash; Kansas' Jay Mason, 8:4.5 in the two-mile run, and Kansas' Brian McElroy, 1:50.2 in the 880-yard run.
ing conference indoor champion in the 600-yard run, moved up to third in that event with a 1:11.8 in a dual meet at Colorado.
Oklahoma's mile relay team, anchored by freshman Travis Newsome, ripped off a 3:09.5 in the mile relay. Although the Sooners' time was the best ever run by a Big Eight team indoors, it was only good for fifth place in the Astrodome Relays.
Conference trackmen will begin tapering off this week in preparation for the Big Eight Indoor Track and Field Championships, to be held here Feb. 27-28.
Ken Swenson, Kansas State's competitive senior, anchored the Wildcats to world indoor records in Houston in the two-mile and sprint medley relays. Swenson's baton-carrying half-miles were 1:47.8 and 1:47.2. Kansas State's two-mile time was 7:23.3 and the sprint medley clocking was 3:17.3. Oklahoma State, anchored by Peter Kaal, had the same sprint medley time but finishing second when Swenson lunged at the tape.
