Kansas defeat at the hands of Oklahoma sent the percentage col umn of the Big Six into one math ematical mess, out of which Ne braska emerged as the only un conquered quintet, and as favorites to beat their two opponents on the road trip about to be undertaken. Neither Missouri nor Kansas State has broken Into the winners ranks, but seem to have developed a race of their own for the cellar berth. In consequence of five Ben gal and three Wildcat losses, and a Husker victory over Iowa State, the dough is all riding on the Husk ers for the first time in many j ears of basketball campaigning. Analogous to the present situa tion was the one a year ago, when the Scarlet knocked off Kansas, defending champ, in their first game and then dropped two to Mis souri and Kansas State on the road. But last year Missouri and Kansas State were vastly different ball clubs than their present repu tation indicates. However, the Huskers have been too well in structed by the basketball gods to soon forget such a shock as they received last year when trimmed by both the Bengals and Wildcats. Huskers Seek Revenge.
