Oklahoma State, 6-1, plays next at Kansas State Saturday night. K-Slate meets last-place Ne- nraska tonight at Manhattan in the only Big Eight game. The Wildcats will be without top scorer Jeff Simons again, but will be favored to win and make their record 4-3.

Colorado, an earlier 71-70 victor over Oklahoma at Norman, raced to a 38-32 halftime bulge before it turned into a pressurized, ball control battle. Oklahoma had the ball with three minutes left, then lost it on a jump ball with 90 seconds to go. Sox Walseth then called time out and told his team to play for one last shot.

Gardner got it on a turn-around jump shot. Pat Frink led the Buffs with 18, Jim Gatewood's 15 topped OU. The Sooners stand 2-6 in league play. HEY, WATCH George Flamank seemed caught in a squeeze play between two Kansas Players in this first half action in a Big Eight Conference game Monday night at Columbia, Mo.

All of the LHS wrestlers, with the exception of Olson, were defeated at least twice.

But, because of the sport's unique elimination system, they were able to qualify for the regional. In wrestling, the loser of a match can continue up the elimination 1-adder as long as his conqueror continues. For example, Da glen of Hayden defeated Jones of Leavenworth in the first round. However, since Daglen continued on undefeated, Jones was able to continue until he lost again. This system permits the second- best wrestler to stay in the running if, by the luck of the draw, he is beaten by the top man hi his division in the first round.

El Dorado edged Highland Park for the team championship at Topeka, 66 to 65. Hayden was third with 58 and Topeka High fourth with 55 points, the same as Emporia.
