Jackrabbit Rally Falls Short;
17 Scarlet Cagers See Action
Coach Harry Good's Nebraska cage squad fought off
a spirited challenge by a scrappy South Dakota State
quintet Tuesday night to bounce back in the win column
with a 66-56 decision in a ragged contest at the Coliseum.
Good swept the players' bench during the evening's
action and sent 17 Huskers into active duty against Coach
Reuban Frost's invaders.
The visiting Jackrabbits scored
on a tipoff play to draw first
blood before Neal Mosser and
Claude Retherford potted two
pointers to shove the Huskers
into a lead they never relin
quished. The two clubs battled point for

play. Eight minutes had elapsed
before the Scarlet could start
pulling away and move into a
23-16 lead.
Reserves Sec Duty.
Coach Good's regulars were re
lieved after ten minutes of action
The reserves added a little fight
to the cause and hiked the count
to 35-22 with three minutes re
maining in the first canto. Dick
Srb and Joe Brown paced the
brief Nebraska splurge. The Husk
ers sported a 37-26 half time mar
gin.
Good started the second half
with a fresh third string with the
single exception of Bus White
head. The lanky pivot man, who
copped high scoring honors for
the Huskers with 13 tallies,
poured eight straight points
through the hoops within five
minutes to spark an early final
half Husker drive.
The South Dakotans would not
quit and fought back, cutting the
