Now sharing the third place
berth in the Big Six bunkhouse
with Missouri, Coach "Lew" Lew
endowski's Nebraska Cornhuskers
can further improve their standing
Saturday night by stopping the
league-leading Jayhawks of KU.
Stopping those Allen-tutored
Jays constitutes' a task which
seems past Husker mettle. Com
parative scores prior to the sec
ond Olathe-Nebraska mix pointed
to an easy Jayhawk triumph. But
those Cornhuskers scrapped the
touted Olathe club to the end Sat
urday night, losing 43-37 after
holding Jack Gardner's crew to a
halftime draw.
Olathe Tops KU
Earlier in the weeK the Olathe
crew had stopped Kansas, 42-32,
but Phog Allen withheld his start
ing five from action. In previous
competition Kansas had won two
and lost one to the Clipper hoop
sters.
Featuring 15 conquests in 20
starts, the Jayhawk record fea
tures tilts with virtually every top
midwest team. Fhos's lads have
averaged 46.7 points per battle to
the foe's 33.3 point level.
Contrary to previous campaigns
when he substituted at will. Men
tor Allen has stuck to an "iron
man" club during the current sea
son. Top scorer and an All-Big
six choice last year as a soph is
Charley Black, elongated eager
with an accurate bucket eye. Black
teams with Otto Schnellbacher,
receiver of a goodly share of Ray
Evans' grid passes last fall, to
form the top-scoring front line duo
in Big Six circles.
John Buescher, passer de luxe
and a fine team player, hold the
fort at center, backed by two of
the Big Six's leading defensive
performers Ralph Evans of grid
fame and sophomore Arm and
Dixon at guard posts.
Johnny Scores
Return of Johnny Thompson,
collector of 14 points against
Olathe, to scoring form adds kind
ling to the Husker bonfire. If
Thompson and Bob Heinzelman,
leading Scarlet scorer, could both
ignite during the Jayhawk battle,
Nebraska mignt score an upset
Lew indicated yesterday that
"all work and no play" would be
theme of the week as the Husk
ers intend to eliminate all possible
flaws before swapping shots with
the Jayhawk dazzlers
Weir Looks
Ahead to MU
Dual Affair
. . Saturday
We'll know better what to look
for after Missouri meets Kansas
State this evening," spoke head
cinderpath maestro, Ed Weir,
glancing over his spike prodigies
as they whipped 'round the cin
der oval underneath Memorial sta
dium, yesterday afternoon.
"Missouri's track strength is
nicely distributed and the Tigers
will score well all the way along,"
said Weir, in regard to the week
end opener with the Missounans.
"but we'll try to give 'em a bat
tle in the ouartermile, halfmile
and some of the field events,
Kratz Potent
Puffing nervously on his pipe
and talking freely, Weir singled
out several Huskers who were
making steady progress toward
reaching cinder fame but declined
to mention times concerning any
said individual.
Now there is that boy, Kratz,"

Compiles .500 Mark
Minneapolis, Feb. 6. With half
of Minnesota's 1943 wrestling
schedule already completed, it is
evident that the Gophers' newest
coach, Wally Johnson, is doing a
good job.
The Gopher wrestlers have a
record of two victories and two
defeats for a .500 rating.

caving his way
He clipped off a 52.2 in the quar
ter last Saturday and came back
with a 202.2 in the 880 grind about
15 minutes later.
Ziknuind taking his first sprint
workouts showed signs that, he'd
be of value to the Husker catise,
hut indications were that he
wouldn't be ready for either sprint
or broad jump competition until
the Kansas State meet.
Strong in Shot.
Continuing his brief discussion
of prospects, Weir intimated that
both Vic Schleich and Eisenhart
were coming along in shot put
competition and might give Mis
souri a battle come Saturday. An
other prospect mentioned by the
Husker commander was Abbott
coming along in the high jump be
hind Petnng, who presently is suf
fering from shin splints.
"By the way, I got another line
1 rfrom Husker, Bobby Ginn and he's
planning to return to competition
here at N. U. at the beginning of
the second semester, next year if
conditions improve," commented
Weir, and Red Littler also wrote
"I wish I was back another year
to run the quarter to make for my
poor '42 season," he continuea.

ure Thing
BY GENE SHERMAN.
(Intramural Editor.)
We happened to accidently
bump into a member of the A TO
court club the other day. Prompt
ly turning around to apologize, we
found this ATO mumbling some
thing to himself. After asking him
what the matter was, he took us
aside and began to spill the bad
news to us.
Seems like the ATO's, who are
now leading the race for the Jack
Best trophy race, are worried over
the chances of their nearest com
petitor, the Phi Gams. All indica
tions point to the Phi Gams re
peating with the Clasps "A" crown.
If the Fiji's should run true to
form, this would mean that the
Phi Gams would jump into the
number one spot in the standings.
The only hope that the ATO's
have is to win the championship
in their own league, and then
bump off the Phi Gams in the
play-offs. This seems easy enough
for a team of the caliber of these
Alpha Tau Omega mean, but the
drawback is that the ATO's must
beat the Phi Delts who have been
climbing fast in the l-M stand
ings. The Phil Delt team will be com
posed of many of this year's frosh
squad plus a string of holdovers
from last year's I-M team. The
Phi Delts looked pretty good to
us when they fell before the fresh
man team the other day.
It seems that "Chili" Arm
strong's freshman team has been
playing havoc with I-M clubs.
Early last week the frosh nipped
the Phi Gams 44-38. Alter a
couple days rest the Phi Delts
went down by the score of 36-29.
It can be said that the Frosh
Phi Delt game was a Phi Delta
Theta win. The main reason is
that the John Dean who led the
freshman scoring is the same John
Dean that will be seen in the Phi
Delt lineup for the I-M contests.
Earb basketball opened fire last
night. Tomorrow night will find
more barb ball plus the opening
of interfraternity Class "B" play.
Jayhawk Top
Threatened
. . . by Soon ers
Continuance of the Oklahoma
"all out for victory" key-noted
Big Six headlines again this week
end. Bruce Drake's Tucker-sparked
Sooneis trounced Iowa State, 46
37, early in the week to keep di
rectly on Kansas' tail. Last night,
the Sooners gained another vic
tory over the Cyclones to boost
their league record to a 4-1 cate
gory. Iowa State also served as step
ping stone te another Jayhawk
victory as the Allen club etched a
44-20 rout. Only other league
game found Missouri tipping K
State, 44-20.
Big Gerold Tucker continues to
lead the league scoring derby with
67 points and a 16.75 average,
(minus tonight's IS-Sooner scor
ing). Though performing in only
three of the four Jayhawk tilts,
Charlie Black boasts 47 points and
a 16.00 average.
Top game this week is the Kan
sas-Nebraska mix at Lincoln Sat
urday night. It will provide the
Huskers' chance to move into a
tie for second place in the league
standings.
