night.
the loss was the first of the
season for the Illini in confer-
ence play after five straight vic-
tories and a loss was the first
in two years for the Illini at home.
Illinois took command 53-43 in
the second half and then scored
only four points in a period of
9 l minutes as the Badgers crept
within three points at 57-54.
Illinois managed to hold its
lead and went ahead 65-61 with
less than two minutes to play on a,
basket by Jackson.
Clarence Sherrod, however, hit
three straight free throws includ-
ing one on a techiical foul on
Price, to lift the Badgers within
one point at 65-64.
With eight seconds to play,
Rick Howat missed a free throw
attempt and Wisconsin gained pos-
session. The Badgers then took
the ball out of bounds and Henry
scored his winning basket.

and will be out for a while.
When the two teams do finally (
join in battle, Billingsley and Kim-
ball. sportsmen that they are, have
agreed to let a diver compete in
only a single event. In one of those
events, Henry and Rydze will face
each other in a fairly well-match-
ed duel, and the battle lines will
shape up from here.
Besides their professional show-
manship, Billingsley and Kimball
attained high stature in amateur
athletics, both performers and as
coaches.
Talent such as this will attract
similar talent, working in a mu-
tual effort toward perfection. And
talent will beget ideas that will
aid the effort. Kimball has de-
veloped a means for speeding up
practice while reducing the chance
of injury. The operation consists
of a diving board, a harness at-
tached to guy lines, and a mat.
The diver springs, Kimball picks
up the slack from the lines, and
the dive is executed without a
single splatt.
This year Kimball has set up
'he harness so that it can be used
of f the diving board, simulating
atual diving conditions to an
even greater degree.
