Double duty, man on the Ne
braska athletic staff these days Is
Coach Tony Sharpe. Busy with
the Nubbins basketball team since
late in November, Sharpe took on
new duties last week when the
first baseball trials began.
Catchers and pitchers have re
ported and will work out in the
basement of the field house until
the weather permits outside ac
tivity. Sharpe, the Husker hard
ball mentor, played professional
ball with Muskogee, Oklahoma in
the Western Association and with
Crookston, Minnesota in the
Northern League.
With the diamond sport coming:
closer, Athletic Director A. J.
Lewandowski was in Chicago last
weekend to discuss plans for an
NCAA baseball tourney similar to
the basketball setup under which
teams qualify through district
playoffs.
According to the present UN
baseball slate, the Scarlet squad
will play no one but conference
opponents this spring. Such, a
schedule is not conducive to the
production of a champion con
tender. At least a few warmup
games are needed before any team
steps into the heat of conference
play.
't" Although the Husker track team
was defeated at Columbia Satur
day night in its dual meet with the
University of Missouri, several
performances served to indicate
that the Nebraskans will be in the
thick of the fight for conference
honors. ,
Don Cooper's pole vault alti
tude of 13 feet 9 inches proved
that his leap of 13 feet 7 inches
against Iowa State was no fluke,
Cooper has at least a one foot lead
over any other Big Six vaulter,
his closest rival being teammate
Dick Miller.
High jumper Monte Kinder also
tutrned in a reassuring perform
ance. The Cambridge kangaroo
negotiated 6 feet 3 inches to take
his pet event. Against Iowa State
Kinder failed to clear six feet, but
his efforts against the Tigers
proved that he will have to be
reckoned with in the conference
meet.
A- third noteworthy achieve'
ment was the mile relay time of
Loyal Hurlbert. Hurlbert failed to
win fn the 440 as he suffered a
nasty leg cut in the early stages of
the race, but he came back in the
relay event to run his quarter in
less than 51 seconds, the best
competitive time recorded in the
Big Six this season.
Jays, Cowboys
ToRcnewCage
Duel Tuesday
LAWRENCE, Kas. The aver
, age sport fan usually doesn't go
for technique and tactics in any
athletic battle. But the Oklahoma
fans who will pack Gallagher hall
Tuesday night to see Kansas and
Oklahoma A. & M. renew their
bitter basketball feud at Stillwa-
n ter know those two factors will
carry the show.
Down through the Phog Allen
Hank Iba battles which began in
the 1936 Olympic playoffs both
clubs have paraded brilliant
shooters, defensemen and re
bounders. But the paramount fac
tor which swung victory to one
side or the other always has been
superb team co-ordination and
near flawless playing styls.
The Jayhawkers and Aggies
may parry and shuffle for eight
minutes before anyone pots a
field goal. But the crowd and
there's always one on hand when
. the two deadly foes get together
never seems to mind. There's
a certain fascination about the
Cowboys' methodical ball hand
ling and the Jayhawkers deft
swinging and breaking. Then
there's always the rare sight of
two teams playing as ruggedly on
defense as they do on offense.
Nebraska profs if you find vet
erans temperamental, take note!
At the University of Naples, Italy,
group of students beat their
professors with an Iron door
handle because he had not given
them passing grades these stu
dents were all vets of the Italian
army. ,
Nubbins Annex Pair
From State Quintets
BY CUB CLEM.
The Nubbins, for the first time this season, were fully
extended to come through with a victory as the Concordia
Bulldogs kept the crowd at fever pitch for the entire game.
The Nubbins held a 54-48 lead with three minutes left and
were barely able tatave off defeat, the game ending 54-52.
in the live o clock affair, the other
Nubbins squad, led by sharp
shooting Doyle Busskohl of Nor
folk, defeated the Luther college
Vikings 58-28.
In the' Luther game, the Nub
bins went Out in front to stay
early in the tussle, and the Norse
men were never able to take the
lead. Early scores by Doyle Buss
kohl. Jim Van Burgh and Al
Bergquist gave Nebraska a sub
stantial margin that was never
threatened. For a while, Coach
Bill Patton's blue clad men were
able to stick within one or two
baskets, but every time Luther
sank one, the Huskers would re
ply with one of their own. The
men from Wahoo fell further be
hind and trailed at the half 29-17.
After intermission the game got
even worse for Luther. Smooth
passing and teamwork between
the Nubbins put more points on
the growing Nebraska lead. Buss
kohl and Bill Wenke especially
looked good in this part of the
game. Wenke made two baskets
in a row from under the hoop on
long down-court passes from
Busskohl.
The second of the two teams
that played against the Vikings
didn't look as smooth as the
first, but was able to control
the ball and the lead safely.
Lanky Bob Allen led this group
in scoring and came out with
second high scoring honors for
the first game. He trailed
Busskohl, who made ten points,
by one point.
Les Jasa and "Legs" Torrens
were the big guns for the Vikings,
Jasa hitting for 14 and the husky
6 4" Torrens for five.' Torrens'
work under both baskets was
noteworthy.
High scorers for the Nubbins
were Busskohl with ten, Allen
with nine, Wenke with eight, and
Van Burgh with six. Following
the top four were Don Bauer and
Al Bergquist who were both good
for five, Hinde, Isham and Keat
ing who collected four apiece, and
Harry Meginnis who trailed the
team with three to his credit. All
Nubbins' players scored at least
once. The Nubbins, who were
really on the ball, sank the amaz
ing average of 45 per cent of their
shots .

Bulldogs had it all their own way
as far along as five minutes after
the half.
Herb Meyer's crew got off to a
quick 7-2 lead. Brommer and
Neil Hafemeister sank most of
these early counters. Then the
Nubbins crept up until Saler's
free shot tied the count at eight
apiece. Hafemeister kept hitting
his beautiful long shots however,
and it was all the Junior Husk
ers could do to keep abreast. An
other charity toss by Bill Saler
put NU ahead, 13-12, but Con
cordia swept to the front again
ana held a 27-19 halftime margin
Fast Action.
After the half, the action got
faster. A determined Nubbins bid
led by Thurman Wright and Ber
nie Bieterman closed the eao con
siderably. Bill Denker's lone tallv
of the evening brought Nebraska
within one point of the Bulldogs
at 66-ii. At this point, key Con
cordia pivot man Merle Reiline
sustained an ankle miury and had
to oe taken from the game. Ne
braska, taking advantage of every
opportunity, drove to a 39-34
margm with Wright hitting buck
et after bucket from close in. A
field goal by Tom Milliken brought
tne score to 50-43 with five min
utes left.
Leading scorer of the evening
was the Bulldog's hot-shot for
ward, Neil Hafemeister, who col
lected 24 points. Next in line for
Concordia were Brommer and
Merle Reiling with ten apiece.

furious action the rest of the
game.
Myers hit a free throw and a
side effort to boost Iowa State
into a 48-45 lead before Dick Srb,
spelling: Dick Schletger, netted a
fielder for the Huskers. Myers
replied with a long- goal frora the
corner and the Cyclones held the
upper hand.
Then Cox dumped in his last
contribution from the field on a
one-hander and Retherford pro
vided a charity toss to tie the
score again with less than four
minutes remaining.
Ray Wehde added another free
throw but Retherford broke loose
on a galloping dribble around the
free throw circle which ended
with a looping over-the-head
layup. Sheperd nailed the first
of his field goals and persistent
Ray Wehde, fouled by Brown,
connected on his seventh free toss.
Hopes Up.
Husker hopes soared when Cerv
grabbed a rebound and banged it
home. The Cyclones found Shep
erd unguarded near the sideline
and the Gary, Indiana, hoopster
connected on the shot which broke
the Scarlet spirit.
In the final 20 seconds Norman
and Myers fouled Nebraska play
ers, but the Huskers were play
ing- for two points and took the
ball out-of-bounds. A long shot
bounced away, two rebound at

tempts failed and the rame ended
with Ron Norman holding the ball
in Nebraska territory watching
the clock tick off the final five
seconds.
Scarlet fans were certain of a
Nebraska win on the basis of the
early second half surge. The
ease with which the Huskers
racked up nine qufck points pro
vided good cause for optimism,
before the hard pressing Cyclones
pulled themselves back into the
game.
Action was rugged throughout,
a total of 42 fouls being assessed
