1 000 Se See Hoosiers Stay

Although Pressed, They Hit Buckets When They Counted

MANHATTAN, Kan. Dec. 16 (UP)—Indiana University staved off a desperate second-half Kansas State rally to win a thrilling

58 to 52. victory before 11,000!

basketball fans tonight and remain undefeated. Kansas State started its climb at the start ‘of the second half when trailing 29 to 34. Twice the Wildcats came within one point of Indiana, but both times the Hoosiers pulled away. With eight minutes left, Jack Stone hit a long set shot to bring K-State to 44 to 45. But Indiana hit seven quick points, and with four minutes remaining, the score was 52 to 46. Tried Another Rally K-State started another rally! and with two minutes left, John| Gibson hit a lay-up to make the score read 52 to 53. Indiana went into its freeze then and added 3 points on K-State fouls. With one second left, Bill Garrett tipped in'a missed free throw for the final margin. Early it appeared as though Indiana might turn the game into a rout. The Indianans led 17 to 8 in seven minutes. It took K-State eight minutes to score its first field goal, Dick Knostman tipped one in to start the Wildcat scor-
