..J WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1953 FGtLl THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PICK ALL-STAR TEAM Nebraska Places Five Men On Tiger's Stellar Opponents HOWELL NOT SELECTED The lettermn of the football squad of the University of Missouri have selected an all-opponent team, consisting of the best players they have played against this year. Naturally the teams which defeated Missouri placed the greater number of men, with Nebraska and New York netting the lion's share. Ne braska placed five. New York U three: Drake, two, and Kansas, one, Oklahoma is not on the list, but Its team was an evenly balanced one and no outstanding stars cam to light In the Missourl-Sooner game. McMullen Named Guard. The selections for the guard and end positions were the hardest to place with the final results showing Barrabee of New York on one end and Delmedge of Drake on the other end. One guard position went to McMullen of Nebraska by an unanimous vote while Shannon of Kansas was close pressed by Holm of Nebraska for the other guard. -Lassman of New lork gets a tackle berth by a wide margin. He was the main cog In the New York defense against Missouri and easily deserves the place. Broadstone of Nebraska was selected over Holll day of Drake by a narrow margin for the other tackle Job. Jame3, another Nebraska man, was chosen for the pivot Job; Pearson of the Kansas Aggies being a close sec ond. While the whole season's play might not Justify the placing of some of the men, they were chosen on this team because of the way they played against -Missouri. Blue Howell Absent. Tn the backfleld one man Is con spicuous by his absence. Blue Howell was omitted from the selec tion because the Missourians were more impressed with the line plung ing of Eussel and the educated toe of Sloan than they were with How ell's running attack. In the game against Missouri, Sloan missed a 60 yard drop kick by only a few feet and later made one from the 5-yard line, either one being a notable achievement For the fullback position, Ken Strong was the unanimous choice. Strong also made most of the ail American selections. At quarter. King of Drake was placed first. Against Missouri, he repeatedly ran back punts for long gains after he would seem to be surrounded. He bandied the team well and deserves his position. The all-opponent team: Flayer Position Schcol. Delmedge le Drake gESjjgn I DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP to Lassman It..... Shannon Ig James c.,.

Thursday night,' Nebraska's win ter sport King basketball wil open the season on ti e Coliseum floor with the Nebraska basketeera pitted against the South Dakota five. Coach Black Is rounding out his court squad this week in an attempt to find a scoring aggrega tion to send against the Rabbits. Seven lettermen from last yea comprise the material with which Black is working but the crop of sophomores out for a pos'tlon on the Scarlet quint this season, are giving the 1928 team members plenty of competition. Jensen and Maclay, both centers, look prom. ising for the pivot position which was held by Glenn Munn last sea son. Munn could be developed into an exceptional pivot ace by virtue of his enormous height but the thoughts of his performance against the Oklahoma Sooners last year, are anything but encourag ing. We hark back to the days of Ted Page, Vic Holt, Peterson and other Missouri Valley centers and then wish we could see the day when the big boy on the Hue-' ker team could come through with such basket slinging and floor work. Kansas university has released its monthly, weekly or some sta tistics in regard to the rating of the Big Six schools. Nebraska ap pears at the top of the list by winning 73 games and scoring the highest total of points. The tabu lations 'seem to be quite compli cated but after figuring it all on., it proves quite interesting to know that the Cornhusker school is showing the way for its sisters In the Big Six conference. According to the report, Nebraska has won 73 games from Its rivals In the Big Six since the teams began playing each other back in the old Missouri Valley. The Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech is hard at it as the practice days draw short for the coming Tournament of Roses in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day at Pasa dena. The Georgia Tech eleven closed their season In the south, meeting Georgia university. It seems that the football fans of Georgia are anxiously awaiting this game on the western coast. Two special trains will carry the follow ers of Georgia Tech to Pasadena and many busses and cars will make the trip from the south for the New Year's day classic. The Bears from California are antici pating a hard afternoon with the Golden Tornado eleven and Coach Price is having a hard time con vincing his California Bears that the west is not supreme in the football kingdom. After the great triumph of Stanford over the Army and Southern California over Notre Dame, the lads of California are under the impression that they will duplicate the feat of their sis ter teams in California. And now we have a new one In the line of all-star games with the post season game at Dallas be tween an all-star eleven from the Big Six and another team of picked stars from the southern confer ence. Coach Ernest E. Bearg, who coached the winning Big Six ele ven, will coach, the all-star football team from this conference. Coach Bearg will take several Nebraska footballers to the south for the New Year's battle. Blue Howell and Dan McMullen will find theli gridiron workout in the far west on the All Star eleven from the east. The Minnesota Daily A library of 700 volumes. Including official documents and council proceed ings, has been left to the Univer sity by the will of the late V. H. Eustis. LAM GUIS AND BETAS Both Teams Have Gone .

GETS ADDED GAMES Cyclones Will Meet Simpson College in First Game Of New Season A return game with Simpson college and a pre-season tilt with Iowa State Teachers college were added to the Iowa State college cage schedule yesterday. The Cy clones will engage the Simpson cagers on New Year's night, and wiil clash with the Tutors on Sat urday, January 5. Coach Louis Menze is putting his Cyclones through some fast paces In preparation for Thursday night's battle, when the Simpson college quintet invades Iowa State to pry the lid off the 1929 season. Captain Lester Lande, star for ward, who has been ill since last Friday is back In the lineup. If sickness does not cripple the squad in the next two days the prospects are good for Iowa State to put her full strength on the local nara boards. So far the squad has not suffered much from the "flu" epi demic . rather prevalent on the Iowa State campus. Glenn Woods, who has been get ting the call at the pivot position in scrimmages so far, is being shifted to a forward berth, and Fred Ludwlg, Is replacing him at center. Both are good shots and have fair height. Just which com bination will prove the better will be determined Thursday when the Cyclones see action, according to Coach Menze. Ann Arbor, Mich.
