time, the Huskers stalled and did
a good job of it, preventing the
guests to get near their own bas
ket. Held captured scoring honors
once again with six buckets and
four free throws for 16 points. Don
Harvey waa the outstanding offen
sive man for the opposition, sink
ing 13 points of which 11 were in
the last period. He gained runner-up
honors.
Livingston Is Standout.
But for all around performances,
Les Livingston drew the little
brass ring. He contributed six
points on offense and was a demon
on defense. His interceptions and
floor leadership sparked the victo
rious Huskers in their second half
rejuvenation.
George Evans turned in a credit
able game at guard both on the
scoring end and the defensive end
for Coach George Edwards Tigers.

A New Era
Ever since Kansas State aban
doned their wrestling schedule,
there has been no conference
wrestling tournament in sight. . .
On Friday and Saturday of last
week, Coach Jerry Adam took his
grapplers to one of the biggest
non-conference meets in the mid
west... The results of this meet
were not too discouraging. . .It
looks like a new era perhaps, but
now there will be no conference
meet In which to exhibit the new
idition.
Best In the Midwest
At the meet were the elite of the
midwest as far as wrestling is
concerned Oklahoma A. & M.
perennial national champs, Minne
sota, Di'buque, Minnesota, Iowa
State, Iowa Teachers, Cornell and
Michigan were all pysent at the
weighing in period Nebraska,
although falling far short of win
ning the team title did contribute
some good wrestling.
The Copple Brothers
Newt Copple, a junior with
plenty of wrestling talent, was the
sole winner for the Huskers as he
came through five matches with
out a loss finally decisioning Roy
ReDDert of Iowa State to win the
unofficial 145 pound title... His
brother, Ed, came in for his share
of the glory as he won,three out
of four matches in the 155 pound
division. . .A sophomore, Ed is ex
pected to show plenty when the

George Evans, shown above, was
one of the sparks on the Missouri
team. His eight points came in
actual season gets under way. . .
His sole loss was to an Oklahoma
A. & M. - national champion and
that was a close match.
Also, Herb Jackman
Another Husker that turned in
a good account of himself was
Herb Jackman, 240 pound roly-
poly heavyweight. . .With the aid
of one default, he rolled up three
victories and bowed in defeat once
.He lost to Man Mountain,
Butch Levy, of Minnesota foot
ball fame... Levy is also a na
tional champion in the heavy
weight division... For the laughs
out of wrestling, It certainly ap
pears that the heavies have the
advantage. . .iney seem to get uie
most bounces per fall.
Pro Tennis Starts
Announcement was made by the
athletic department Saturday that
an all-star tennis show would be
on the books for Husker sport
fans. . . Jan. 27 will be the night. . .
On the docket will be Don Budge
and Fred Perry, the professionals
of some time and the two new
pros, Frankie Kovacs and Bobby
Riggs. . .Until their turn to the
pro ranks, the former were the
seeded number one and two ama
teurs.

LAWRENCE, Kas. A n o t h e r
chapter in one f the nation's
oldest basketball rivalries will be
written Wednesday at Columbia
when the Kansas Jay hawks and
the Missouri Tigers clash on the
court for the 104th time.
Back in 1907 the two schools
met on the court for the first
time. Since then their meetings
have been frequent and the re
cords show that Kansas has tri
umphed 65 times, with Missouri
the winner on 39 occasions.
Jays Hold Indian Sign.
Victorious in both of their games
with the Tigers last year, the Jay
hawks are favored to down Mis
souri again Wednesday. Kansas
has played only three games to
date this winter and has won
them all.
A convincing 54-32 victory over
Oklahoma started the Jayhawks
on their drive toward another Big
Six championship. Eight times in
the last eleven seasons, Dr. F. C.
Allen's cagers have won or tied
for the conference title.
Charlie Black Storms.
Missouri's tall men, Roy Storm,
6 foot 5 inch junior, and Ross
Burns, 6 foot 6 inch sophomore,
will have their work cut out for
them in endeavoring to stop
Charlie Black, Kansas' brilliant
6 foot 4 inch forward.
Black, a 190 pound sophomore,
proved too much for the Oklahoma
defense, stuffing in 10 field goals
and 5 free throws for 25 points.
He also had been high point man
against Denver.
A good pivot shot man, Black
is a terror for the defense to
attempt to cover. His pivot when
ho fakes a shot covers so much
territory that it pulls his guard
completely out of position. If the
guard does not follow him when
he starts his fake, he carries It
thru for a shot. The big boy's re
bound work was a feature of the
Oklahoma game.
John "Thin Man" Buescher,
center, and Ralph Miller, senior
forward, carry most of the re
mainder of the burden on offense.
