Only one team of the area Is On the threshhold of a perfect regular season and indications point to the school being successful. The DeWitt Panthers close the regular portion of the slate Friday night by entertaining the Cla- tonfa Cards. Ron Joekel and his Panthers are heavy favorites to post a 14-0 mark.

Next to the best mark in the area goes on the line Friday night at Diller as Sam Bell's Western Indians plae a 13-1 record before the Eagles. A team which started 1 i ke a house afire, then suffered a couple of rude jolts, the Steinauer Blue Jays, play a pair this week to close down the slate. Cleveland Jones and his Jays be favored to chalk up victories 11 and 12 at the expense of Summerfield, and Endicott, giving Steinauer a 12-2 mark to take into Class District tourney play. In Class the state rated Tecumseh Indians play Friday night at home to close down the regular slate. Lee Zentic's T-Towners, since the Tribe is playing before home fans, will get the nod to avenge one of the club's defeats.

Advance tickets $1.50 and 75c, at door $9.00 and $1.00 Sports A SHORT time bade, while making mention of the Jerry Bush situation, we put in our "two cents worth" regarding a logical head cage boss for Nebraska.

We "recommended" Ralph Miller, that is, if the Wichita 'U' expert would have Nebraska. With Ralph's former boss Tippy Dye now Nebraska athletic director, it seemed there might be an outside chance of such a choice when the time arrives. Our opinion of Ralph based partly on seeing his Shockers play numerous times the past three or four years, was and still is, of the highest caliber. i "go get "em" recruiting program, run-run brand of offense, and stingy defense is hard to beat, Texan (o rescue HARD TO beat perhaps best describes his type of roundball. For it was Ralph Miller's Shockers who shocked Cincy's Bearcats on Saturday night, 65-64, thus ending the national champs victory string at 37.

Only a few days back the Bearcats were mumbling something about extending tihe string to possibly 60 by next When a team beats the Bearcats it has made a top sports accomplishment, and Miller as well as his Shockers, will be talked about for sometime to come. To point out Coach Miller's determined recruiting program, it was not a Kansas eager but a Texan who exploded against the Bearcats. WICHITA tans, who jamed the large circular fieldhouse to set a new home attendance record, saw one of Coach Miller's recruits break loose tor a night's output of 46 points. It was Dave Stallworth, a 200-pound 6-7 eager from Dallas who stunned the Bearcats with his one-man It was also Stallworth who calmly potted two free throws to move the Shockers from a 64-63 deficit to the 65-64 victory edge. It was also the big 6-7 Texan who had hit a charity toss to move the count to 64-63.

A single game output of 46 points, and against the Bearcats at that, is remarkable! Two more seasons! STALLWORTHY'S scoring spree establishes a new single game record for a Shocker. We witnessed a former Shocker, Al Tate, pile up 40 during a game in 1960, a record now erased by Stallworth. Our records on the Shockers are up to date, but four games back Stallworthy had a season total of 384. His 46 against Cincy, not including his scoring of three other games, surpasses all but two other season totals in Shocker history. Cleo Littleton scored 508 in 1952-53 and 564 the following season.

There is no doubt, this Negro ace from Texas should turn into the greatest roundball player in Wichita 'U' history. Last year he averaged 28 points a game and 12 rebounds. Incidentally, the 6-7 colored Stallworthy is only a THE SHOCKERS, despite the upset win over Cincy, lack experience. However, Coach Miller is grooming a number of cagers who, like Stallworthy, will give Shocker fans something to buzz about for a couple of more seasons. Nate Bowman, last year a freshman teammate of Stallworthy's and now a 6-10, 214-pound varsity member, averaged 15 rebounds a game and 18 points while a frosh.

He too hails from Texas. From McPherson, hails another top prospect, also a member of tihe current sophomore class. He's 6-6, 210 pound Dave Leach. And yet, there is another sophomore who may fit into Coach Miller's plans next season. A 6-7 eager is Larry Nosich from McKeesport, Pa.

Now he has two aching knees and the Buffaloes suddenly find themselves in a fight for survival at Missoml Monday night in a four-team Big Eight basketball race.

Ttie 6-foot-6 Charlton led the conference with a 25.8 scoring average through the first'six games, playing on a left knee which required surgery before the season. He injured his right knee in the Kansas game Feb. 9 and was forced out after scoring 11 points, his season low. The defending champion Buffs won the Kansas game and beat Oklahoma two nights later as Oharlton struggled painfully to get 14. He managed anothet 14 Saturday night at Iowa State as the Cyclones won going away 73-60.

Vince Brewer poured in 22 points for the winners. Missouri is in sixth place but has won five' of eight at home, including upsets of Oklahoma State, Indiana and Tennessee. Colorado dropped into a first place tie at 7-2 with Oklahoma State, 51-41 winner over Nebraska, with Kansas State third at 6-2 after beating Missouri 67-5 and Iowa State a close-up foutth at 8-3. The seventh-ranked Buffs would skid to fourth place by losing at Missouri. On the other hand, a victory would put coach Russell (Sox) Walseth's team in position to grab the lead at home in a big weekend series, should Charlton regain his strength and scoring form.

Oklahoma State meets the Buffs at Boulder Saturday and Iowa State plays at Colorado next Monday. K-Staie plays aith rival Kansas at Lawrence Tuesday and Iowa State at Manhattan Saturday. Coach Tex Winter has his team ready for another title bid. Oklahoma, which surprised Kansas 64-62 at Lawrence Saturday, is expected -to strengthen its grip on fifth place against last-place Nebraska Monday night at Norman.

By AL RIDDINGTON Sports Editor, Daily Sun They jam students into a telephone booth, cram 'em up in a compatct car, 01 have 'em dribble a basketball down the highway.

All of this now days is a fad among college and in some instances, high school students. Some fads are accomplished' to set some sort of a record, others are to gain publicity. And now, with the Nebraska weather taking a break for the better, guys and gals and in some instances oldsters are going in for opemtion "Sore or "bunion derby" exploits down the S8x Sophomores But six Crete High School sophomore boys with no inkling of setting a record or grabbing off publicity walked from Crete to Beatrice Saturday. The boys were cotnered by a Beatrice resident and brought to the Daily Sun. The six included: Alan Plessman, Jack Bewley, Wayne West, Ron Sack, Doug Sack Duchek, and Leon Muff.

It was learned fliey left Crete at 4:45 a. Saturday morning, arriving here at 2:30 in the afternoon. "We decided Thursday we'd make the trip," explained Leon, one of the outstanding players of Crete's No. 1 ranked Cardinals. Doug, a member of Crete's Junior Legion baseball team, and on the Cardinal Varsity roundball, squad, sorta hinted that "the student manager may have some blisters to treat" come Monday.

Up Before Chickens When asked if they had taken anything along to eat, footballer Wayne, through heavy eye-lids (4:45 a. is rather eai'ly), said they "survived" on candy bars. Jack, a Junior Legion player, told of how they slopped off at DeWitt, and then left the highway at Wilber and walked the railroad tracks to DeWitt. Ron explained that their carefully planned "trip" musta leaked out somewhere. Several DeWitt folks said they "had been waiting for the boys arrival." Still fresh as daisies, they deckled to stay off the main highway, someone might offer them a lift.

Thus, they took off on the "Old DeWitt to Beatrice However, later they switched back to walking the railroad tracks, and perhaps by the time they reached Beatrice several of them may have wished they'd stuck to the highway and hitched a ride fiom some kind soul.

At this remark glanced about the office for President Kennedy, the voice surely sounded like his. But it was sophomore footballer Alan, who without a doubt does an A-l imitation of the President. If these young athletes were not after publicity or some soit of a record, what do you suppose they had in mind? You'd never guess! "Tlie hike in itself was a challenge, but our trip here was two-fold," explained Muff. Leon wanted to stop and say hello to his brother Larry, head coach at Beatrice St.

Naw, Can't But the main reason for jaunt here, get this, concerned none other than a former teacher of the six boys! Walk 25 or 30 miles to see a former teacher? Impossible, yet true. "Our English teacher last year was Mrs. Else (Virginia) and we thought we'd hike over for a visit," exclahned Leon.

And that's just what they did, the last we heard of them they were at the Else home visiting with ex-coach Gene and their "favorite" teacher, Virginia.
