1 -.. gCSDAY, JANUARY 0, Tlie DAILY NEDRASKAN fttammp flows IE IT By Jun Bier bower. Add famous weather sayings: Don Fitz: "This is sure good basketball weather. Even the noses are dribbling." Phog Allen's Jayhawks, who had the best won-and-lost record of any Big Six team before conference play started, may have the best won-and-lost mark when confer ence play ends, If their perforin ance in beating Oklahoma 46-2C means anything. It probably does Phog Allen's teams are always good, and the veteran Jayhawks must be clicking this year even if they are a bunch of oore little short bovs. Utah U.. we understand, doesn't have many tall boys, either, and they take eare of themselves. It was the Kansas defense which ehone as Jimmy McNatt, star Sooner forward rot exactlv one field goal Guards Kline and Harp, both six footers, of Kansas, got most of the rebounds, and nkl.ihnma didn't ret a rood close- in shot all night, press reports ay. Oklahoma didn't make a Doint for eight minutes, and was behind 25-9 at half time. Ralph Miller's famous knee did an rignt, ana tne Chanuter got 13 points as he was the evening's high scorer. Howard Engleman, who last year set a Kansas scoring record of 27 points in a single game, didn't even play. He's been injured. Don Rau rot's decision to stay at Columbia, Missouri, means of course, that the Tigers will have a capable coach next year, but it's good news to those revenge seek ing mortals like us, who didn't want Faurot to oet awav from Missouri just after beating the Huskers twice in a row, oecause the third time's charm, you know. The only way to know some-thin"- is to see it. it seem3. We wrote a counle davs aro that Don Fitz' last minute basket against Stanford was a one-nanaea des peration effort, having been under the lnmression that it was. We didn't see the game, tho, and a fan who did corrects us about ic tie n.ivs that Fitz' shot was set. and that he was given plenty of time to make it by Stanford which used poor defensive tactics In the clos ing minutes of the eame. Detroit. on the other hand, he adds, didn't let the Huskers get a set shot at the basket, and Fitz against the Titans didn't have time to take a good aim at the basket. Dale DeKoster, Iowa State guard, who it on the Ames road trip, has risen from water boy to th varsity... he was water boy for tho team before the start of the present school quarter at Ames . . at that time he hadn't attended Iowa State for the three quarters necessary to make a transfer stu dent eligible... they have a month's vacation at California between terms . . . It's going on now so the team isn't missing classes... Dick "Dutch" Kelly, our old sports ed pal at California, Is taking gradu ate work there... the Oklahoma Sooner don't seem t schedule easy last games... they played the Huskers this year... next fall its Santa Clara and the game Is on the west coast. Nebraska wins opening Big Six tilt Cyclones falter as Brownemen pull away after early moments Nebraska got off to a flying start In the Big Six title race last night as the Huskers tripped a ragged Iowa State team 44-28 after leading all the way except for a short time eariy in tne open iner neriod. - c Don Fitz opened with a follow shot for the Huskers, and Dale DKoster rot a free throw before Al Randall Dotted one to give Ne braska a 4-1 lead. Long Carol Schneider dumped in tne nrst Iowa State basket after seven minutes were rone, and he and Bob Harris followed with buckets to put the Ames team ahead. Randall rot his second basket a:id Harry Pltcalthley potted one to give the Huskers a ieaa tney never relinquished. Schneider stars VARSITY I It's t kin!

Iowa State brought the score to 21-17 early in the second period as Schneider got a free throw and a hueket and Harris a basket, while the best the Huskers could do was a sensational bucket by Bud Tall man. A cluster of three free throws hv Harrv Pitcaithlev. a basket by Don Fitz, and two fielders by Bob Therien stretched the HusKers lead to 30-19 as the best the Iowans could do was a fielder by Lange. Yaffe scores Irv Yaffe. who had the Cyclones hothered all nirht rot three points to match a free throw by Nicholas and an overhead bucket by Gor don as the Huskers led 33-22 with twelve minutes gone. Pltcalthley and Sid Held did the rest oi me Husker scorine" from then on out, and Schneider got the last bucket of the evening to boost nis scor ing total to thirteen. Pltcalthley with four fielders and six free throws led tne scorers u-ith fourteen noints. while Srhnelder was the Iowans only hope. The remaining team mem bers wore "cold" on ineir snois, as redhead Bob Harris, all-con ference star, whose parents were here for the game, got only two baskets during the evening. Schneider was a power under the basket, as he was about the only Ames player who could take the ball from off the backboard. Fred Gordon, ruard. looked good at times for the Iowans, who couldn't cope with the tali aggres sive Huskers.

Missouri Tigers find going tough in early season games vk. eAllnwrlM la mm arUelA Ml Ml W..l..Koll nmaiirti for till afl- ton, written bf lunula Ow-des, P"rV' tor of the Miaeoori mm, taeea Missouri at flnnibl Saturday nlht la the Honkect aeroM conference art. Oerdea, who nan Jmm inna Inland, la a member of the TUrra' tennis team. By Louis Gerdes Missouri, co-champions of the Big Six, lost only two cogs in their basketball machine, but in eariy games the Tigers have found it tough to pick up where they left off last season. Increased strength of other teams in the conference and the dismal showing of Missouri In the East caused Coach George R. Ed wards to hint that unless the Tig ers do an about face, they will te lucky to finish fourth. Memories of the earlv rames in last e&mnairn somewhat off set this statement. Tiger hopes then were much lower than now wnen Missouri holds a 500 per cent bat ting average. Missouri usually starts slow and plays best in Big Six competition. Earlv reDOrti an the team this year indicated Missouri would be even stronger than last season. The best croo of sophomores in veara loined the sauad to balance the lots of two valuable veterans, Hal Halstead and Harlan Klersey. Outstandine among the sopho mores are George Evans, Loren Mills and Herb Gregg. Evans ana Mills play guard, while Gregg is a flashy, 5 foot 8 Inch forward. Evans takes the place of Halsted as the team's long range snooier. Coach Edwards usually starts an all-veteran lineup with Captain John Lobslger and Martin Nash at the niarda. fill Harvev and Arch Watson in tho forward posts, and one of two lankj' uoys, maine jur rence or Haskell Tison at center Tison towers 6 feet 7 inches. Clay Cooper, who was torrid against Nebraska last year, will join the squad again along with Currence. Cooper and Currence played in the Orange Bowl root ball aame. The Bennala emnlov the same offensive and defensive formations as they used a year ago. They still stick to close man-for-man when the aoina aets touah. No one player has continued to excell for the Tigers thus far. Cantain John Lobsirer. an All-Bir Six choice, has not been playing as wen as in me past, dui it ia expected mat ne win oe nacK on his game before the conference race goes far. Water polo play enters ast week Acacia's, Sigma Nu's, ATO's haye each won twice in l-M contests The hfxrinntnp' of the final week in the interfraternity water polo tournament tmas at least two teams tied for first place in each of the four leagues.
