The final score, 16-14 in favor of the Oklahomans indicates the closeness of the meet thruout, as first one team and then the other took the lead. There were three falls in the meet, two by the men from Nor man and one by Nebraska, and these decided the contest. Mike DiBiase felled newcomer Charley Bryce in 1:20 of the first round in the heavyweight division, but it was merely anticlimax, as the Sooners already had the meet sewed up. Oklahoma went into an early lead as Raymond Gibbs of Tulsa came back to decision Bobby Yambor of Omaha 4-2 in the 121 pound match. Yambor got the first two points on a take down in the first period, but Gibbs finished fast to win the nod. Kelly Wins. The long-armed Mickey Kelly, 128 pounder from Omaha, evened things up for the Huskers, as he soundly whipped Jim Powell 6-1. Kelly almost got a fall before two minutes were over, but didn't quite make it. Powell picked up his lone point on an escape after Kelly had taken the advantage for the last round. In what was probably the most exciting match of the evening, Jack Barrett, another Omaha product, won a close decision from Oklahoma's Orvall Wise in the 135-pound affair. Wise got two points for a quick take down in the first 30 seconds, but Barrett quickly reversed positions to take a 3-2 lead. An escape for Wise tied the score just before the end Scarlet Swim Team to Meet Iowa Mermen BY DICK CORDELL, LINCOLN HI A once-defeated University of Iowa aquatic squad will pit them selves against the University of Nebraska mermen Monday at 3:30 in the coliseum pool.

Wise was awarded the advantage, but Bar rett assumed the top position in a sudden flurry and assumed a 5- 3 lead. A take down by Wise, followed by an escape in the next round put him ahead of Barrett 6- 5, but the time advantage was won by Barrett and he took the match, 7-6. The Sooners staged a comeback as Ken Watson, one of the best of the Oklahoma group, won a de cisive victory over Nebraska's usually dependable Jack Tamai. The Omaha boy was never in the match as Watson piled up a five point lead before Tamai broke into the scoring column. Watson won, 7-2, getting his last two scores on time advantage. Back in Lead.

At this point, Ne braska was leading iu the running score, 9-6, but the next two matches were to give the Okla homans the victory. Overweighed Andy Marinko vich gave a good account of him self in the 165-pound match, but wasn't able to do anything with Jim Eagleton of the Sooners, state AAU champ last year. Eagleton pinned Marinkovich midway in the second period with a half Nelson with a crotch. Leger Stecker clinched the meet for Oklahoma by downing Harold Sholand in 55 seconds in the 175-pouad match.

In Nebraska's last indoor meet of the season, the Cornhuskers will entertain the Oklahoma Uni v e r s i t y trackmen here at 2 p. m. today. Coach Ed Weir's U.N. squad will be without the services of Dick Hutton, Auburn speedster, who is to be married Saturday. This point-snatcher will return for the Big Six conference cham pionships, however. Nebraska's Bill Conner and Fritz Ware will see action in this meet. Conner was kept out of the Kansas State contest because of illness, while Ware has been side lined the entire season by a pulled muscle. Both will run in the re lay, with Conner also competing in the 440.

The 880 meet record of 1:58.5, set by Lyda (O) in 1942, may be smashed if Kopf repeats his performance of 1:58.4. In the field events, Nebraska's Monte Kinder and Sooner Bill Lambeth will vie in a high jump duel. Kinder holds a mark of 6 feet, i7s inches, while Lambeth has done 6 feet, 2'4 inches.
