Scoop
BY LEE HARRIS
About the only thing that the
Missouri-Nebraska basketball
game showed Monday night to
llusker partisans was that the
Scarlet cagers have a well rounded
squad this year.
The first eight or nine minutes
looked pretty sad through the
eyes of Husker fans, when the
visitors all but drove our boys
through the Colesium floor. How
ever, the performance of such
boys as "Bus" Whitehead, Cech,
Lawry, Srb, and Shields gave hope
of at least an even game.
As everyone no doubt recalls,
the Tiger five hit most of the
breaks in their brief spurt and
with the hotshot firing of center
Haines, Nebraska with the first
string in action was left at the
gate.
The Iowa State Cyclones who
were mentioned as strong contend
ers for Big Six honors have shown
lots of power on their home court
by defeating both Nebraska and
Missouri by safe margins. The Cy
clones have a veteran crew in
names and are sure to prove
troublesome to the boys from both
Kansas and Oklahoma.
Kansas State still looks to be the
Big Six dark horse but watch out
for K.U. Otto Schnellbacker show
ed by flipping in 16 points that he
was the shot in the arm that the
Jayhawks needed in their recent
win over Colorado.
Husker fans who like to look
at the record books and smile
might take note of the Oklahoma
Aggies' 33-31 win over previously
undefeated St. Louis U. The rec
ords tell tft the Huskers dropped a
one pointer to these same defens
ive minded Aggies in the Kansas
City tourney and ran up a total of
46 points.
At any rate let's not sell them
short. Competition is rough this
year and Nebraska is right in the
middle of the Cage giants
Coach Weir
Opens Track
Talent Hunt
Coach Ed Weir has been comb
ing the student body in hopes of
finding replacements for the
Cornhusker cinder squad.
Looking toward the first meet
which is scheduled with the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, Jan. 31,
Weir has as his goal the replace
ment of some of the gaps left by
graduation of such athletes as Bob
Ginn, Bill Conner, Ralph King,
Dick Miller, All Brown and
Norval Barker.
On the overall track picture
Weir has strength in most de
partment with Monte Kinder,
high jumper; Don Cooper, pole
vault champ from York; Alan
Thomson, sprinter, and a host of
other lettermen.
The "find" of the season thus
far has been Ray Magsamen who
has been running the barriers in
excellent times for this time of
the year.
