Huskers Turn Attention to Next Big Six Foe
m
Big Contest
Is on Tap
This Week
Saturday Game With KU
Ranks Along Mizzou Tilt
As Potential Fan Pleaser
By Bob Miller.
Two conference victories under
their belts, Nebraska's Cornhusk
ers have turned their collective
minds toward the next obstacle
In the way of an undisputed Big
Six cape championship. That ob
stacle is Kansas U.
"Just another game equally as
tough as the first two that we
won from conference foes," was
Coach Ad Lewandowski's opinion
concerning the game that will be
played on Saturday evening at the
coliseum. ft
Schedule Gets Attention.
The conference schedule is new
one-third over and the Huskers
by virtue of their wins over Kan
sas State and Missouri are lead
ing the Big Six race. Ten games
on the slate that calls for 30 con
tests before a winner is decided,
have been played.
"Every game from her on out
is going to require us to show
everything that we possess," Lew
commented, "For example, we
play Kansas next and that will
be a bis: one. then comes Iowa
State, Kansas State on their own
floor and so on."
Every Game Is Tough.
By looking over what is in store
for the Husker basketeers, it is
plainly evident that no one game
will be of more importance than
another for the remainder of the
season.
The visiting team is coached by
Dr. Phojr Allen, an institution in
the cage game. The veteran coach.
who recently was in the midst of
the argument concerning the
standing of an Oklahoma sopho
more, is in his 56th year. This
season marks his 25th on the
bench as a coach.
Should Old Acquaintance?
Nebraska is acquainted with
the Doctor since they have fallen
to his cage teams the biggest per
centage of the time since the two
schools have met on the maples.
This year the Huskers are plotting
to defeat the obstacle that looms
before them.
Tuesday night following the
Missouri conquest, the cagers
were given a comparatively rest
ful session. But last night things
were different as Lew experiment
ed with various combinations, giv
ing everyone a chance to scrim
mage. The main job that confronts the
coaches at this point is building
an adequate defense against
Charley Black, sophomore Jay
hawk forward who has scored 43
points in three games this season.
Black was the one who scored
25 points against Oklahoma when
the two met in the conference
opener.
Every Saturday during the fall,
New Haven's open street cars,
otherwise unused, are wheeled
ou of the barns to handle Yale
football crowds.

Allen Has 'Unpredictable
Team' for Title Pursuit
The Handball Courts
The secret to the success en
joyed by membrs of the Nebraska
coaching staff came to light yes
terday as we were snooping
around the inner sanctum of the
basement of the coliseum in search
of the elusive Adolph Lewandow-
ski...Well, we found not only
Lew but his associates going to it
on the handball courts.
Getting Around in Fine Style-
In one court a doubles match
was raging with LwanaowsKi
teaming with Chili Armstrong,
freshman coach playing Paul
Amen and Glenn Presnell. . .The
sight of the four coaches cooped
ud in the narrow confines of a
handball court was impressive.
Amen had a demon of a servo
while Lew's returns would win
his team many points... The fact
that they nearly filled the court
took nothing from the glamor of
the game.

Sooner Team
Is Preparing
for Nebraska
... on Indoor Track
NORMAN. Okal., Jan. 14 Anx
iously awaiting the return of
Plato Andros. their Oklahoma
A.A.U. shot put champion, the
Oklahoma indor track and field
squad is busily practicing for its
dual meet Feb. 21 against power
ful Nebraska at Lincoln.
Andros, a 215 pound Greek boy,
last June pushed the shot 47 feet
7 Va inches as a freshman to win
the state A.A.II. title. However,
he reported back from the Christ
mas holidays with a flattened
knuckle on his throwing hand and
can't start practice for a few days
yet.
To Lead With His Right.
"I'm teaching him now to load
with his right and swing with his
left," CoachJohn Jacobs laughs.
Andros injured the digit while
in the Big Six, just as they were
when the final gun sounded on
the basketball campaign a year
ago. Kansas, tho, will meet two
other loop foes before facing the
Cyclones, playing the University
of Missouri Wednesday and the
University of Nebraska Saturday
night.
'Phog's' Boys Touted
Coach Forrest C. Allen, whose
teams always are title contenders,
is rated as having the greatest
team in Kansas history in the un
defeated 1942 combination. Only
one regular is back from the team
which shared loop honors with the
Cyclones, but the wily Dr. Allen
has assembled a new team built
around the offensive genius of
Ralph Miller, Charlie Black, and
John Buescher. Marvin Sollen
berger, guard, is the only starter
who rated regular honors last
year.
Miller, one of the two greatest
high school players ever developed
in Kansas, led the Kansas team
in scoring two years ago. Bothered
self, "is as unpredictable a team
as I have ever faced a season
with.".
That was at the beginning of the
season, and since then the Kansans
have rocketed by Denver, Bethel,
Oklahoma and last night Mis
souri. In doing so, the Jayhawks
have averaged almost50 points
per game offensively, settling for
an average of approximately 31
points defensively in each of the
four games.
With one regular returning from
the 1940 team with seven wins and
three losses to tie with Iowa State
for the Big Six championship,
Allen has had to find suitable play
ers to take the places of such
standouts as Howard Engleman
and Bob Allen, who placed first
and third among leading Big Six
scorers with 16.5 and 10 points-
per- game average
Sole returning regular is Junior
Guard Marvin Sollenburger, while
other lettermen back this season
include Ralph Miller, lanky for
. . In Conference Play
years took over tne spot lett
vacant by Bob Allen.
Miller, Evans, and Sollenberger
will probably start against Ne
braska, with 'etterman John
Beuscher likely to hold down the
starting forward berth. Charley
Black will complete the lineup.
While Nebraska downed the
Kansas State squad 44-38 earlier
this season, the Kansans tramped
on an Oklahoma team 54-32 after
the Sooner five had run over the
Wildcats 47-40. After the Husk
ers' filiowinc against the Tigers
last Monday, it looks like Satur
day night's battle looms as one of
tthe season's bests.
And what fan who saw the game
will ever forget last year's coli
seum battle between the Jayhawks
and the Huskers which ended with
the Kansans on top 55-52? v
