Friday, January 21, 1944 THE NEBRASKAN For REDDED 0)t LPrep ITS Tvjo Teams Meet Here Saturday Fresh from a southward excur- Bion which saw them drubbed by K. U. and nudged by Oklahoma in a see-saw contest, Husker cagers drove through hard practice ses sions Wednesday and Thursday in preparation for their tussle with the Golden Gophers of Minnesota on Coliseum boards Saturday night. The Gophers will be a rough foe for the victory-starved Scarlet baskctccrs, who proved in their near-upset of Oklahoma that they are capable of top-notch bas ketball. Realizing that his charges will be in for a long evening against the trainee-spiked Minnesotans, Saturday, Coach Ad Lewandovvski pushed the Huskers through long scrimmages both Wednesday ana Thursday. Defense received parti cular attention, with the Scarlet drilling hard on their customary nian-to-man formations. Showing Pleases Lew. Lewandowski was pleased with the Huskers' performance on their southward jaunt, particularly with their heads-un play against the highly-favored Sooners. "The boys were using their heads and driving hard against Oklahoma," said Lew. "Al Hartman's fouling out rally in the second half hurt our chances, and so did the fact that both Buzz Ilollins and Bob Tange nir.n had three fouls charged against th?m through most of the second period." Losing Tom Dworak, Doug Nelson, and Elza Kuhlman, all of whom returned to Lincoln after the K. U. game, weakened the squad considerably for the Oklahoma fracas, accord ing to Lew. "The boys did a fine job against both Kansas and Oklahoma," as sorted Coach Lewandowski, "and they came back from the trip a smarter, tougher, more expe rienced ball club." "We'll be driv ing hard for a victory over Minne sota Saturday night." AU-Slar Team The Sports Department has announced the following intra mural all-star volley-ball team. ALL-STAR TEAM 1.

The first half was close all the way, with the score 14 to 1 in favor of the Beta's at intermission. The second half started with the Sig Chi's dropping shots in from all over the floor, and they soon had a wide margin. The Beta's began to tire, as they had no sub stitutes available. The Sig Chi's continued to hit the hoops while the Beta's were having tough luck on their shots. The Beta's started to cage some shots and the margin narrowed, but the gong sounded before they could close the gap. The score stood, 31 to 28, with the Beta's the under dogs.

Track Squad Works Daily With the first meet of the in door season less than a month away, Coach Ed Weir's Husker trackmen are working out daily on the oval under the east sta dium. Several men have answered Coach Weir's recent call for can didates, but many more recruits are needed, according to Weir. Boys starting now, says Ed, will still have time to round into shape, but time is growing short. The Scarlet cinder men will get their first taste of competition Feb. 19, when Oklahoma and Kansas State track squads jour ney to Lincoln to tangle with the Huskers in triangular competition. The meet will be scored as a dual rontest between the various schools, in addition to being tal lied on a triangular basis. Feb. 26 will find the Nebraska squad hitting the road for Kan sas City for the Big Six indoor meet. At present, all conference schools plan to enter teams in the annual indoor get-together, but Nebraska. Kansas State. and Missouri the schools with all-civilian sauads will have a tough time fielding aggregations strong enough to cope with the trainee spiked teams from Oklahoma, Iowa States, and Kansas. Inex perienced men, most of them never havine tasted intercollegi ate competition, will have to bear the brunt of the load for the Huskers, Wildcats, and Tigers. ccauscl Gasacssiisg with. Harold W. Andersen My plea for sports reporters was answered yesterday wnen Rex Stotts( an expert of long standing in affairs athletic, of fered his services. After the rest of the "rag" staff revived me and gave assurance that it was not all a dream. I welcomed Rex to the sports staff and padlocked him to his desk. Just let him try to get away now! The sports staff still needs re porters, however. Any other male students who know that a squeeze play does not necessarily ' involve a boy and a girl and a park-bench and can write a story that even Mabel (there's that woman again! ) can understand are urged to re port to the sports department (the desk in the comer) in the "rag" room in the basement of the Union. Girls who are good sports will be welcome, too. (How about you, Mabel) Ad Lewandowski, Husker cage coach, proved himself an able nronhet last week. Before the court squad's departure on the southward trip last week-end, Lew predicted that the Scarlet could make the going tough for either K. U. or Oklahoma if the boys started driving harder and hitting a better per-cent of their shots. The Huskers did just that against Hustlers Clash With Raiders The Lincoln Air Base Raiders. fresh from their 50-44 revenge victory over the Doane Tigers at Crete Tuesday night, clash Company B at the Coliesum Sat urday night in a curtain-raiser to the Nebraska-Minnesota contest. The clash should be a tight one, for both the Raiders and Hesler's Hustlers boast strong aggrega tions. The Raiders, led by ex-Harlem Globe Trotter "Goose" Tatum, romped over a strong Company C team last Saturday, and have lost only to Doane, a defeat which they avenged by clipping the Tigers Tuesday. Company B, undefeated in intramural play, boasts several ex-ccliege stars, including Bob Schecr of C.C.N.Y. and Bunny Ful ler of the University of Mary land. Joe Tom, Chicago, Illinois, is the only student who is attending Hastings College on a scholarship offered by a foreign country. Joe obtained his scholarship from the Chinese fund which was set aside to educate Chinese students in America. According to Joe, a board of his own country's offi cials decided whether a student is worthy of such a scholarship. the Sooners Monday night and threw a mighty scare into the Oklahomans before bowing, 45-35. If Lew's boys continues their hustle and heads-up ball-playing this weekend against the Golden Gophers of Minnesota, the game should be a real rouser. lhe uopn ers have a fast, scrappy ball club which has a win over Iowa State to its credit, but the Huskers can cause t'neni plenty of headaches. Odds and Ends: Wayne Blue, Nebraska footballer and trackman who left school to enter the Army Air Corps, is rumored to be due for a v sit to Lincoln soon. Wayne has been piloting a P-38 fighter plane through the thick of the Italian campaign ana is reportedly set for a return home. The Iowa Seahawks avenged their early season loss to Iowa State when they clipped the Cy rlones bv a 33-27 count at Iowa City Monday night. Chicago s sad Maroons suirerea thir fnrtv-third consecutive Biff Ten defeat last Saturday at the hands of the University of Illinois, who romped to a 69-32 victory. Price Brookfield leads the Iowa State cagesters in scoring with a 12.6 average for each of the five games he has played. On the girls' intramural front, the big news is the fact that bas ketball will start very soon. Intra mural representatives must have their team lists at the WAA office by noon Saturday, January 22. Volley ball is rolling along. Most of the second round games have been completed and the finals will be coming up soon. Results to Date. Alpha Chi over Thrfa A O PI over Chi -Ji-!
