More dope on the Colorado Buf
faloes, newest member of the Big
Six:
Nebraska and Colorado have
met six times on the football
field, the Huskers winning five
games and the Buffs one. The
last meeting between the schools
was in 1907 when UN won 22 to 8.
Colorado was a regular Husker
foe during the early part of the
century, facing Nebraska in 1898
and from 1902 to 1907.
- In basketball the Huskers have
triumphed in all four of the
meetings. The 29 to 18 Nebraska
victory in 1938 was the last same
between the schools.
Other loop members have seen
more of the Buffs. Missouri has
played Colorado in football 11
times since 1930, and Kansas has
fpced the mountain school eight
times in basketball, with a ninth
meeting slated for Lawrence on
March 14 of this year.
A look at Colorado's football
slate for next year shows that
Coach Jim Yeager, former head
man at Iowa State, will send his
charges against Missouri, Iowa
State and Army in addition to
Big Seven opponents. The Army
contest is billed at West Point on
October 4.
The influenza epidemic which
has bothered state high schools
in tournament play has also in
vaded college circles. Missouri
and Kansas met Friday night be
fore 200 spectators, 'none of them
students, because of the serious
proportions of the epidemic at
Columbia.
At Kansas State the Wildcat
wrestlers competed in matches
this week end, but there is a
chance that the Big Six grappling
meet on March 14 and 15 will be
cancelled if the seriousness of the
flu does not lessen.
In choosing their all-opponent
team, the Iowa State Cyclones
wound up with a combination
which averages 6 feet 6 inches in
height Gerald Tucker and Char
lie Black were named to forward
spots, Jim Mclntjre of Minnesota
r was selected as center, and Otto
Srhnellbacher and John Pritch
ard of Drake received guard nom
inations. Pritchard and Mclntyre are
both 6 foot 9 inch performers,
and both were In action against
Nebraska this season. Even with
Pritchard. Drake was unable to
beat the Scarlet in two starts, but
Mclntyre led the Gophers to a
68 to 58 win over NU.
Dick Dodderidge, sports editor
of the ''Kansas State Collegian,"
bowed out last week after two
years at the job. In his closing
column Dodderidge commented
cn the lowly position of K-State
in conference athletics, dividing
the loop into the Little Two (Kan
sas State and Iowa State) and the
Big Four.
Among the reasons for snccess
f the Big Four. Dodderidge lists
"the ultra athletic plant at Ne
braska with the huge stadium,
wonderful eo'iscum. etc. -No, you
can't compete on equal footing
with schools like that without a
somewhat similar .program .of
your own."
We've got the facilities, but we
are still waiting for a conference
championship in any sport. The
Huskers have not been too assert
ive in the top rung positions
since prewar days, but maybe the
outdoor track meet will be the
first step, here's hoping.

Staving off a late rally by the
v-as, the Hufnagle Field team
won the title of the Independent
Champion of the IM Basketball
Loops. The final score in this up
and down game was Hufnagle
r ieia 41 and V-5 s 35.
In the early moments of the
game the Fielders found them
selves on the short end of the
score for the first time this year
However, the three point deficit
that faced them was quickly
erased as the first half turned
into a free scoring battle with
Hufnagle reaching the mid-mark
on top 23-18.
The second half furnished an
even exchange for the first eight
minutes, then, the V-5's began to
hit a hot pace. Their brief surge
gave them a tie at 33 all with four
minutes to go. The remainder of
the game was played the way the
Hufnagle boys wanted it, for in
the last four minutes of play they
pulled away to wrap the game and
the Independent Championship
up for the year.
Fischers Lead.
The Fischer brothers, Kenny
and Cletus; Johnson, Salestrom,
Anderson and Fox saw action for
the winners, with Johnson leading
the way in the point department
with a total of fourteen. The new
Independent Champs have not
tasted defeat this year, having
compiled a total record of eight
straight wins.
As for the V-5's, this was their
first loss of the season.

In the Thursday feature game,
which was played on the varsity
court, Sigma Chi rolled to a de
cisive 44-28 victory over a stub
born Delta Upsuon club in a
Class A contest. With steady Jim
McWilhams punching through the
first seven points Sigma Chi man
aged a half time lead of 15-11.
During the first half the DLTs
played a beautiful floor game and
it was not until a few seconds
before the gun that Sigma Chi
was able to pull ahead.
At the start of the second half,
Lawson potted a side shot which
was followed by Hutton's set-up
that brought the Delta Upsilon
team within two points of the
pace setters.
Then on the strength of some
accurate shooting by Teddy Jame
son and Neidfeld, Sigma Chi be
gan to roll. With six minutes re
maining Whitehead's pivot shot
gave Sigma Chi a commanding
lead of 33-24.
The real star was McvTilliams
as he cashed in on every break
offered him. For the second
straight game the former Scotts
bluff star collected 26 points.
His total for two playoff games
is now 41 points. He has been
well supplied with many of his
chances by "Bus" Whitehead, the
lanky center who has controlled
the backboards in every game
thus far.
