Just w. "" Cyclones hall a chance to tie Kansrfor the Big Seven lead, they themselves were upet, 69-66, in overtime Thurs day night on their home court by Missouri in a battle that fea tured a post-game demonstra tion by Cyclone fans. So instead of being knotted with Kansas 3-1 at the top of the ladder, Iowa State is down in a tie for third place at 2-2 and is left to worry about how the loss will affect the No. 4 national ranking it achieved by the Kan sas upset of a week ago. Gary Thompson, the five-foot eight-inch whiz who sparked Iowa State's big win last week, almost saved its bacon Thursday night when his hook shot pro- SKIING CONDITIONS Union Creek Forty inches of powdered snow was report ed here about 10 a.m. today by the U.

Big Seven duced a 61-61 tie at the end of regulation time. Then Don Med- sker, whose last-second basket beat Kansas, opened the extra session with a free throw for a 62-61 lead. But last week's heroes were left in the lurch as Bill Ross' basket put Missouri into a lead it never gave up. Protest Decision At the final gun, Iowa State fans surged onto the floor and surrounded the two referees in protest at a decision in the final minute of play. Police escorted the officials from the floor and out of the building. It was a sweet triumph for Missouri, anxious to prove that it's 77-59 rout of Iowa State earlier this season in Missouri was no "fluke." Another upset was scored last night by Wichita, 52-48 over Ok lahoma A&M, the nation's 18th ranked team, on the Aggies' home court.

"I may be around this vicinity playing golf all spring," said Mantle with a grin when he stopped at Tulsa, Okla., Thurs day. This latest word from the Yan kees' holdout - in - chief comes right on the heels of Larsen's crack in San Diego, Calif., that he "may end up tending bar" if the Yankees don't meet his re quest for a 527,500 salary. Neith er is expected to give Yankee General Manager George Weiss anything to laugh about. Mantle, who is asking for $65,000 to more than double his 1955 salary, is due for another visit to New York next week for a banquet, and he and Weiss are expected to get together then to discuss golf, springtime in Okla home and $65,000. Minor Action While Mantle and Larsen nee dled Weiss from long distance, there was minor action in the contract signing market Thurs day. The Pittsburgh Pirates boost ed their total under contract to 25 with signed pacts from catch ers Danny Kravitz, who is now leading the Dominican Winter league in home runs, and Dick Rand, who hit .278 for Roches ter and was acquired from St. Louis in a winter deal. The Pi rates said the team will open spring training at Fort Myers, Fla., Feb. 28, with 56 players in uniform. The Chicago Cubs gained their 17th and 18th signers in outfielders, Walt Moryn, a .285 hitting with 23 homeri, and Jim King, a .249 batsman. Vieira Moves Up In Hoop Scoring New York (U.R) Florinda (Porky) Vieira, Quinnebaug (Conn.) college's five-foot, six inch star, made the big news in small college basketball today by moving into third place in individual scoring with 100 points in his team's last two games and a 31.4-point average for eight games. Vieira advanced from 14th to third after scoring 100 points in two . games. Ken Hammond of West Vir ginia Tech remained in first place although his average slip ped from 35.0 to 33.6. Joe Miller of Alderson-Broaddus, another West Virginia school, moved from third to second with a 32.8 point average in NCAA statis tics which included Jan. 19 games. Floyd Patterson Fighter of Year New York (U.R) Heavy weight champion Floyd Patter son established a precedent when he was honored as "Fighter of the Yar" Thursday night at the annual dinner of the New York Boxing Writers association. Only three years ago, the Brooklyn youth was named "Rookie of the Year" by the same group. It marked the first time in the history of the as sociation that a fighter won both awards. Patterson also received Ring Magazine's jewel-studded belt during the dinner. Roosevelt, Washington, Jackson Grade Winners Roosevelt edged Jefferson 20 to 18, Jackson beat West Side 25 to 13 and Washington clipped Oak Grove 33 to 5 yesterday in city grade school league junior varsity basketball. 1 Is That So? While driving through inow covered country, did you realize that it's no trick at all to spot the barns with animals inside? If the roof is completely cov ered with snow, chances are there are no animals inside; if it lacks snow, it is full of an imals whose body heat has caused the snow to melt. For that matter, those long icicles dangling from your roof 1-24-57 may look very pretty but broth er they're a sign of heat leaking through your attic. Better get that roof insulated for next winter: each one of those super long, jobs may be costing you around five bucks for a frozen trickle. . . Airplanes fly slower through cold weather because cold air is denser and harder .to "push through." Those airplane records are usually made in the summer months over the heat of the desert during the middle of the day. Incidentally, the best time to practice take-offs and land ings for a beginner is during mornings and afternoons when the sun is low to avoid midday air bumpiness and make slower landings and takeoffs. About 10 hours' slower. In these days when we discuss billions with an easy flip of the tongue, it might be well to re evaluate our conceptions. Just what does a billion mean?

Constantly Winter At six-and-a-half miles up to the top of that stack of a billion dollar bills the season is constantly winter and all cloud form is composed of tiny ice crystals. Sound heavy? Well, heavier things float, too. A good share of the dust in our homes is meteor dust. And that's mostly iron. Ever wonder why snow around a city melts quicker than snow on, country roads and hills. It's because city snow is dirtier. The very whiteness of snow protects it against midday sun the white reflecting the rays with out absorbing heat. In the city, the soot and traffic dirt does not reflect the rays so well, hence the absorbed heat makes the snow melt more quickly. Even though the air around you may be perfectly still, over head a 300-mile-an-hour wind may be raging this minute. It's the jetstream a high-speed rope ot swiftly-moving air embedded in the prevailing west-to-east wind flowing at an elevation of about 30.0Q0 feet. Now, during winter, it wanders between 30 to 50 degrees north latitude on its way around the earth. (In summer, it follows the birds north, hovering at around 55 degrees latitude.) Airplane pilots finding its core can almost double their ground speed, fly ing east that is. During sudden winter changes in weather, old houses tend to creak. If yours does, don't wor ry: it's not defect in the timbers it's simply the natural breath ing of old wood. Wood you know reacts to weather warping, con tracting, expanding, and breath ing with changes in humidity and temperature. Look To On Side Want to improve your night vision? Then don't look squarely at the object you want to see just to one side of it. Human eyes have two sets of nerves, one for night vision, and the other for daytime seeing. Daytime sight, explains Eric Sloane the weatherman, is like a narrow flashlight beam, while night sight sees in a wide scope all around that beam. So if you stare at an object after dark, you are forced to use the nar row beam which doesn't work at night and the object will disappear. If you like, step out side and try it tonight. Go into the dark and pick some faint star. Stare at it and it'll disap pear. Then look just to one side of it, and it will reappear, even brighter than before. Con vinced? All right, then you're ready to go 'possum huntin'.
