Daily Ncbraskan sports experts had a tougn time deciding uie staffs All Big Seven team. The experts moved Bob Fuchs to the guard position. The stellar play by the Missouri center forced the experts tj move him to guard in order to keep him on the team. Big Seven champions, Oklahoma, placed three men on the first team while second place Missouri put four men on the initial squad. Kansas had two clavers worthy of the mention while Nebraska and Colorado placed one man each.

This year's Oklahoma basketball team has one of its toughest cage schedules. All the Sooners' oppo nents are state universities except CCNY and Syracuse. Sooner Coach Bruce Drake has booked a home-and-home series with Coach Jack Gray's Texas Longhorns, a fast, colorful outfit that runs like rrairie quail. The Sooners have also scheduled II linois of the Big Nine for a home- and-home series, playing at Ur bana this season. Illinois was ranked eighth in the nation by Dunkel last year. Play Affile Oklahoma plays Ohio State at Norman, Dec. 18, and meets CCNY, second best team in the east last year and rated seventh nationally by Dunkel, at Madison Square Garden and plays Syra cuse's Orangemen on the same trip. Probably the toughest non-conference foe of all is Hank Iba's Oklahoma Aggies, Missouri Val ley conference champions and twice conquerors last year of St. Louis's National Invitational tour nament kings. ! Then comes competition in the strongest basketball league, from top to bottom, in the nation, the Big Seven Kansas Sate, Missouri, Iowa State, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas. 13-9 Record Lack of consistency and of a "Make mine Serenteen, ays campus Junior Seventeen Cosmetics arv first hoio of campus lovclUa everywhere.

The Sooners last year finished with a 13-9 Record and were ranked 42nd in the nation by the Convcrse-Dunkel ratings. The Sooner sophomore crop is report ed to be the poorest in years. Frosh Prospects Wayne Glasgow, who had a freshman year with Alva, Oklan Teachers, will probably see con siderable action. Marcus Freiber- ger, the leggy, 6-11 lad from Greenville, Tex., high school, is eligible for his first college bas ketball but is inexperienced. Losing only Harly Day and Bob Jones, the Sooners, like nearly all their opponents, largely retain their last year's club. But there were 41 college teams in the na tion ahead of Oklahoma last year, nearly all of whom retain the same playing nersonnel tnai earned them that rank. Sooners Improved The Sooners should have Im proved sawy and poise this sea son but their position is still much like that of an automobile pinned behind a string of 41 other cars, with very little chance to pull out around them into the main traffic stream. Oklahoma tied with Missouri for second place in the Big Seven conference last year. This year the Sooners could well take the top position. Coach Bruce Drake emphasizes careful organization, smart pass ing and ball control. Drake's squad is noted for its brilliant free throwing and tight guarding and their ability to vary their strategy for each opponent.
