Yesterday our little disserta
tion about Rube Hoy's proposal to
do away with the elimination of a
basketball player from a game
after he had made tour touis was
whacked off. As we were saying,
Hoy has a good idea there, It
teems.
First round individual scoring
In the high school tournament
didn't stay low by any means in
several cases . . . Wayne Weber,
a 8-3 player from Friend poured
in 34 points of his team's total of
48 Thursday afternoon ... we
saw the game, and whenever
Friend needed a basket li'l Weber
would be right there . . . smallest
player in the tournament, Donald
Wolfe, 5-2, 95 pounder of Bene
dict, got 13 points In the same
game, and played like a real vet
eran . . . he's a sophomore . . .
two other players got over 20
points Lester Murrell of Fair
mont got 21, and Leafgreen of
Minatare made 23 . . . George
Gribble of Greenwood made 17 of
his team's 19 points in another
great exhibition . . . Ralph Phelps
of Trumbull got 17, as did Bob
James of Falls City . . . Jenry
Carpenter of McCook made 18, as
did L. Miller of Culbertson, and
Jim Kaeding of Benedict.
Don Boydston, sports editor of
the Daily O'Collegian, student
newspaper of Oklahoma A. 4 M

a frosh-varsity track meet . .
nice going, brother . . . Boydston
will be here May 25 when the Ag
gies face the Huskers in a dual
meet the Saturday after the Big
Six championships here ... we
notice nobody's asking the Ne
braska, Kansas State and Iowa
State basketball teams to play off
the tie for the last three places
in the conference standings. Gon
zago college of Portland Is pio
neering in bowling as an inter
collegiate sport . . . they're send
ing a good-will team around the
Pacific coast to stir up interest
. . . sounds like a good idea.
Newton Copple, Husker 145
pound wrestler, threw Young of
Oklahoma in 8:55 in the first
round of the Big Six meet . . . but
he didn't get credit for it very
generally in the press . . . some
reports stated it was Young, not
Copple who did the throwing .
Elmer Nieman, Kansas State
backfield man and baseball player,
is not in school this semester, but
will be in the fall . . . Ohio State's
basketball coach Olsen fed his
players celery with lots of salt
before a recent game because a
survey made by Harvard U.
showed salt and celery were good
things to eat if you wanted to win
basketball games . . . Ohio State
won 58-52.
