Bourn IKIusker Team
BY CUB CLEM.
iy The UN Grapplers went down
a x j r l . a l 1 j . 41
Oklahoma Sooners Friday night at
the Coliseum. 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

of the first period. 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.
Ed Copple, lone non-Omahan on
the UN squad, put the Cornhusk
ers back in the lead by decision
ing Leonard Marcotte in a close
match, 7-5. The 155-pounders put
on a good show, and the match
was a 5-5 tie until it was learned
that the Lincoln lad 'nad won by
time advantage. 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

self in the 165-pound match, but

Cornhuskers
Meet Missouri
At Coliseum
By Don Fiske and Harry Spencer,
Northeast.
Coach Harry Good's Cornhusk
ers will oppose the second-place
Missouri Tigers tonight at 8 in
the coliseum.
This game is a "must" for both
Missouri and Nebraska. If the Ti
gers should drop this contest it
would almost abolish Missouri's
Big Six title hopes. The Corn
huskers need this game to pull
them out of the conference cellar.
Cerv Out.
With Bob Cerv out of the line
up due to a back injury. Coach
Good will depend on Al Kirlin,
former Northeast and navy sharp
shooter, to fill in Cerv's guard
position.
Coach Wilbur Stalcup will be
without the services of Bill
Haynes due to scholastic diffi
culties, so will rely on Don Strook
to fill his shoes at center. Strook
is a 6 feet 8 inch freshman.
Harry Good, commenting on
tonight's game, stated, "The boys
are in a slump because of state
ness due to too many tough games
and losses, but I feel that they
will give a good account of them
selves tonight,"
Nebraska will be out to revenge
a 47-41 setback they suffered
earlier in the season at Columbia.
Probable starting lineups:
Nebraska
Retherford (13) .. .f. .

Officials: Clay Van Reen, Missouri, and
Ronald Gibbs, Illinois.
Nubbins Meet York.
In the preliminary game the
Nebraska Nubbins will face the
York College "B" team at 6:30
p. m.
Coach Tony Sharp's Nubbins
trounced the York club, 63-30, in
an earlier meeting.
Probable starting lineup for the
Huskers includes Thurman Wright
and Bill Wenke at forwards. Bob
Allen at center, and Harry Me
ginnis and Doyle Busskohl at
guards.
When audiences see a gay
night club sequence in Para
mount's "Dear Ruth," with Joan
Caulfield and William Holden,
they'll hear music the dancers did
not have. Because of dialogue
difficulties, the couples danced to
the rhythm of a flashing light

U.N. Track Squad
To Duel Okflahoma
By Don Porter.
(Alliance.)
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.
Big threats to Nebraska in the
track events are: Two-milers
Lonny Chapman and Norval
Smith, milers; half-milers Ken
neth Briggins and Mayo Martin;
and Landon Westbrook, quarter
miler.. Sprinter Laddy Hurp and
hurdlers Jon Sharp, Charley
Heard, and Oscar Gilstrap are
also versatile performers on the
Sooner squad.
The Cornhusker's big guns are:
Ginn (half-mile and mile), and
Harold Kopf, Loyal Hurlbert, and
Jim Martin, half-milers. 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. Both
threaten the old record of 5 feet,
lO1 inches, set by Weaver in
1946.
In other field events, Sooners
I. D. Simpson and Plato Andos
will throw the shot; with Bill
Carroll and Kenneth Kilgore com
peting in the pole vault. Jay Cor-
