back for another shot at top hon
ors. Gibbon, Plymouth and Wil

ochial quintet its stiffest competi
tion. In Class D Hampton, two-time

Thurman Wright,, Richmond,
Indian's contribution to the high
ly successful Nubbins Basketball
squad led his teammates in points
scored during the season, a com
pilation of "B" team statistics
revealed.
The torrid forward sunk in 52
field goals and hit 19 out of 34
charity tosses for a total of 123
points. Bob Robinson followed
Wright with 71 scores.
Wright also led the team in
the matter of field goals (52) and
tied for the free shot lead (19).
Bill Saler also dropped 19 free
tosses. Al Bergquist of Lincoln had
the dubious distinction of com
mitting the most fouls, collecting
25 in the ten games in which he
played. Bergquist partially re
deemed himself by sinking 15 of
19 free shots, an exceptional
mark in any league.
Wright won high point honors
in seven of the Nubbins' games.
No other player was able to ac
complish this more than once.
Tony Sharpe's aggregation lost
but two of the 15 games they
played, to Kansas State "B" and
to Western Union. Both of these
games were played on foreign
courts, and the Nubbins were able
to beat the two teams by a sub
stantial margin when playing on
the Coliseum boards.

Michigan State SV3at
Squad Trounces U.N.
Winning all bouts except the
heavyweight finale, the Michigan
State wrestling squad swept to a
25 to 3 win over the University of
Nebraska matmen Monday night
at the coliseum. '
Mike DiBiase was the only
Husker able to break the visitor's
monopoly on the winning points.
The Scarlet husky piled up a 5
to 1 decision over Robert Malde
gan. Spartan heavyweight. Di
Biase could not pin his foe, but
scored a take down, an escape,
and had a time advantage worth
one point.
Two falls occured during the ev
ening. On the 145 pound class Don
Johnson of Michigan State finish
ed off Neal Munson in 8 minutes
and 50 seconds after holding the
advantage all the way. Munson
replaced the UN regular, Jack
Tamai who was out of uniform
because of a death in the Tamai
family.
Second Fall.
The other fall came in the 155
pound class when Don Anderson
was able to flatten Marshall Boker
in 7:45. The compact Spartan
matman was too small for Boker
and was able to outlast the
Husker.
Nebraska grapplers failed to
collect any sort of a point, even
in individual scores, until the 135
pound match when Jack Barrett
gained a tally due to stalling by
his Michigan State opponent.
As it was, points were mighty
sparse on the Huskers side of the
ledger. Andy Marinkovich picked
up another stalling point and also
escaped for a counter in his bout
with red-haired Jim Dowell of the
legionnaires For Your Pleasure
