Sooners Win, 81-74;
Five Records Broken
Oklahoma University and Ne
braska's Corhuskers shattered
five Big Seven scoring records
last night as the Sooners defeated
the Huskers, 81-74.
The Sooners broke two records.
They scored the most points by
one team (81), and they hit the
most field goals by one team (34).
Nebraska and Oklahoma com
bined to break two marks: Total
points scored by both teams (155),
and most field goals scored by
booth teams (63). Nebraska broke
the total points scored by a los
ing team record with 74.
Sooners Lead
Oklahoma's quintet had things
its own way until the first half
was nearly over. With seven min
utes and 30 seconds remaining
in the opening stanza, the Soon
ers held a 29-18 advantage. But
the Huskers put on a scoring drive
that knotted the score at 35-all at
half-time.
Both teams turned on torrid
second-half scoring barrages on
their way to the record-breaking
totals. With 50 seconds to go,
Oklahoma was leading, 80-67. In
that last wild minute, Retherford.
Whitehead, Cerv and Mosser hit
to give the Huskers their 74 point
total.
Nebraska's high-scoring for
ward, Claude Retherford, took
scoring honors for the evening
as he dropped nine field goals and
two gift tosses for 20 points. Big
Bus Whitehead took runner-up
honors for the Huskers with 12
points, and Bob Cerv finished
third with ten.
Waters Leads Oklahoma.
Bill Waters, 6'5", 230-pound
Sooner center, topped the Okla
homa scoring list with 17 points.
The big pivot man scored them
all in the last half. Paul Corty,
the conference's leading scorer,
finished second for the Sooners
with 15 points, and Harly Day
Band Concert
Sunday Merits
Two Encores
A lusty and vigorous perform
ance of a widely varied program
rewarded the more than 3,000
spectators that attended the an
nual ROTC symphonic band con
cert in the coliseum Sunday. In
his tenth year of conducting the
varsity band, Donald Lentz led
his 95 men and women through a
fast-moving concert that merited
two encorse demanded by the au
dience. The highly rhythmic group
that closed the program was well
received by the audience, includ
ing the boisterous "Sabre Dance"
from the ballet suite "Gayne" by
the Armenian Soviet composer
Khachaturjan. The same drive
and gaiety characterized the
South American-styled composi
tions "Jamaican Rumba" and
"Guaracha" by Arthur Benjamin
and Morton Gould, respectively.
Receiving enthusiastic rounds
of applause for their specialty
numbers were the trumpet sextet
for their precise "The Trum
peters" and band president Jack
Snider for his Franz Strauss
French horn concerto. UN grad
uate and former quarterback
Harry Miner who wrote the "Hus
kerland march performed by the
band, took a bow from the au
dience, sharing applause with the
band.
Orchestral coloring was given
by the band to Bach's solemn
"Toccata and Fugue in D mjfior"
and to the nationalistic symphony
movement of the Russian com
poser, Borodin. The modern
"Suite Francaise" by Milhaud,
popular among orchestras, was
performed in its original band
setting.

Committee Report.
The committee's report and
recommendations, endorsed by the
Chancellor and the Board of Re
gents, is as follows:
The committee finds thatThere
was a deeg-seated antagonism ex
isting between Prof. B. F. Hemp
hill and the chairman of the
department of architecture which
apparently had existed over a
considerable period of time. The
committee regrets that these an
tagonisms resulting in mutual dis
trust were not resolved by frank
discussions.
'The committee finds that the
action taken by the administration
was precipitous and not justified
by the circumstances which im
mediately preceded the purported
dismissal. -
Missapprehension of Eights.
"The evidence shows that Prof.
Hemphill resigned his position as
associate professor under a mis
apprehension of his rights. We
therefore recommend that Prof.
Hemphill withdraw his resigna
