SEASON SUMMARY:
A conspiracy by a K-State loyalist, known as the Wildcatman, left a capacity crowd in Allen Fieldhouse stunned in February 1965 during a KU-K-State game.  Sports Illustrated reported that the Wildcatman hid in a closet in the fieldhouse the night before the game “and contrived a complicated electrical device that triggered two huge signs into falling over the scoreboard in the very midst of the game.  The signs read, “GO STATE; KILL SNOB HILL AGAIN.”  The scoreboard was lowered at halftime and the banners were removed.
