H us leers Must
Halt Kansas
Scoring Aces
Another chapter in the topsy
turvy epic that is the Big Six
basketball race will be unfolded
Tuesday night at the coliseum at
8 p. m. when the lively Nebraska
Cornhuskers, fresh from an upset
win over Oklahoma, attempt to
repeat the stunt against the Kan
sas Jayhawks.
The once-proud Kansans from
down on the Kaw have taken
their lumps this season and are
now resting on the bottom rung
of the conference ladder. Mis
souri's Tigers and the rebounding
Oklahoma Sooners each hung a
loop defeat on the Jayhawks.
Things like that just don't
happen to teams coached by wily
I'hog Allen, the Kansas basket
ball mentor. In 36 years of coach
ing Allen has been on the losing
side only 119 times while his
teams have won 623 contests.
Early season results have in
dicated that the Big Six cham
pion will not be undefeated, but
another loss for the Kansasns
would be fatal to their title hopes,
Coach Harry Good will have
his Huskers primed to deliver
just that blow. Last week's 44-41
win over Oklahoma gave the
Scarlett hoopsters a needed boost
and the Nebraska hoopsters will
be ready to shoot the works
against the Jayhawks. "
Surprise Team.
Overlooked in nrpsnnsnn fore
casts, the Huskers are now in the
thick of the chamnionshin
thick of the championship
scramme. Nebraska Is tied for
second place with Kansas State,
Iowa State and Oklahoma, each
boasting a win and a loss, so
Tuesday's warfare will find the
Goodmen shooting for more than
just an upset triumph.
If the Huskers are to be success
ful against the Javhauks thv
will have to figue out a way to
handcuff a trio of KU standouts.
Forwards Charlie Black and Otto
Schnellbacher and Guard Ray
Evans constitute a giltedged scor
ing triangle which has been hard
to stop.
Charlie "The Hawk" ' Black,
6-foot 4i inch forward, is a two
time All-American who Daced Bis
Six scorers last season with 173
points in 10 games. Black is a
tiptop defensive man and is usual
ly given the iob of euardint thp
opposing team's scoring ace. The
wmowy jaynawk has been called
the greatest player in Kansas his
tory.
Schnellbacher. the other for
ward, was an all-Big Six selection
last year and won all-conference
honors in football as an end.
He is an expert rebounder and
specializes in one hand shots.
Defensive Ace.
Evans is the balance wheel of
the Kansas aggregation, an all-Big
bix choice in 1942 and 1943. Riflin'
Ray achieved his greatest fame
as football player and is a dur
able defensive player on the hard
woods. Against this trio of stars the
Huskers will have Claude Rether
ford, dead-eye forward who spe
cializes in shots from well out
on the court. The French Lick,
Indiana, ace is leading the Ne
braska pointmakers with 133
points.
Lanky Don MacArthur may get
the nod at center if his Injured
knee has healed sufficiently. Mc-
Arthur is the tallest man on the
squad at 6 feet 5 Inches and has
racked up 108 points this season.
If McArthur is not ready to go,
Dick Schlciger, who turned in a
fine performance against Okla
homa, will open at the pivot post.
The remainder of the Nebraska
starting lineup will include Joe
Loisel, rugged backcourt star and
Joe Brown, Nashville, Tennessee,
hotshot at guards, and Rodney
Cox, former Lincoln high ace, at
the other forward.
