Nebraska II
Over Iowa
: Wins
Quintet
By Cub Clem.
, .. Coming back after a 14-10 first
quarter deficit, the "B cagers of
the university caught the Western
Union College Eagles just before
halftime, pulled ahead, 46-40, at
the beginning of the fourth quar
ter, and went on to beat 4he
Iowans, 65-52, on the coliseum
boards Saturday night.
The Eagles started off fast, after
Fred Simpson had 6cored Ne
braska's first field goal, and at
one time led by seven points.
When the starting UN five left
the court, they gave the second
group a 14-10 disadvantage to
work with. The second bunch
only made it worse for by the
time the third team, the best of
the evening, could arrive on the
scene, Nebraska was trailing 10-
20.
This outfit closed the score
rather quickly with Sammy Va-
cantl doing the bulk of the scor
In. "Slingin Sam" of football
fame made the most of his op
portunitics, hitting a nice figure
of five field goals out of seven at
tempts. Two quick baskets by
him just before the halftime gun
tied the score and then sent the
Nubbins out in front to stay. The
halftime score was 32-30.
The third group, consisting of
Bill Salcr, Thurman, Wright, Al
Bergauist, Don Bauer, and Va
canti, put a lot of pep into the
sagging UN offensive and swept
the opposition off their feet for
just long enough to claim the lead
After that, it was smooth sailing
for the Cornhuskers.
Boost Lead.
The Nubbins, with the third
team still in, increased their lead
quickly with the resumption of
hostilities after the halftime inter
tvussion. Anton Lawry and Va
ranti put in the first baskets, and
then the number three group left
he floor, to be replaced by a com
bination of first, second, and
fourth stringers. Mel Williams
and Fred Simpson burned the
nets, giving the next bunch a
comfortable working margin.
This group gave the Western
Union squad a chance to pull
within seven points at one time
midway in the third quar; r. Bad
passing, which came in a streak,
made the Nubbins look very bad
a couple of times. However, with
the arrival of the first five, things
began to look up.
Settling down to straight, easy
basketball, this group left the fi
nal combination a considerable
lead. The Eagles never threat
ened after that, with the Nubbins
in possession of the ball most of
the time. Doyle Busskohl and Don
Bauer potted the last baskets, and
that was the game.
McLaughlin Stars.
The outstanding player for the
Western Union squad, and pos
sibly of the evening, was Russ
McLaughlin, a hot shot center
who emerged from the game with
16 points. Paul Colenbrander fol
lowed him for the Iowans with

Track Coach Ed Weir gave the
public a quick look at some of
his current track prospects Satur
day afternoon when he held com
petitive time trials on the indoor
oval under the east stadium. The
two and a half hour program
served as a "feeler" to enable
Weir to get a better line on men
who have been working out for
the past several months.
The time trials are to become
a regular Saturday afternoon af
fair until the opening of the in
door season on the first of Feb
ruary.
Mile Time 4:29.
The most Dleasim? event of iho
afternoon was the performance
of diminutive Bobby Ginn in the
mile run. Ginn. who rrrrnllv
placed third in the Sugar Bowl
mile run in New Orleans, turned
in a creditable time of 4:29 as
he nosed out Don Morrison, who
had been given a considerable
handicap.
Other brieht snots in the first
trials of the year were the per
formances turned in in the high
hurdles and the shot put.
Ralph Kinc. Waterloo timber-
topper, copped first place in both
heats of the high hurdles with
a time of 7:8 seconds. Close on
his heels were Bob Berkshire,
state high school record holder,
and Norval Barker, Aurora vet
eran.

minutes and 59 seconds of the
first round for the quickest fall
of the evening.
The Nebraska team capitalized
on falls in five matches to build
up its margin of victory after the
visiting Wheatshockers had taken
the lead .during the early stages
of the dual meet.
Mickey Kelley sent the Ne
braskans off to an early lead with
a fall in the 121 pound class, but
in the 125 and 136 pound classes
the Wichita matmen were victor
ious. But mighty Mike DiBiase had
no trouble with his hulking
heavyweight opponent, Al Voygt,
who he threw twice. The first fall
came after 4 minutes and 30 sec
onds and Mike repeated the trick
31 seconds later while Voygt was
trying for a fall.
The- Boker brothers took home
victories in the 165 and 175 pound
divisions. Marshall Boker's win
over Dan Dwyer in the 165 pound
class was one of the high spots
of the evening for both men wpm
near exhaustion after Boker had
employed a punishing "guillotine"
hold. Boker took the decision hv
a 12-7 score.
Harold Boker duplicated Di
Biase's trick and Dinned his fn
Glenn Dody, twice.
