Most of the fans at Wednesday
night's basketball game were
rather startled when Northwest
Missouri State Teachers squad
came on the floor in their barber
pole shorts. There is a good ex
planation, however. We under
stand its the bold look for cage
teams this year.
Oklahoma, the Big Seven's
representative in the Sugar
Bowl, will send its greatest
offensive football . team of
modern times into the New
year's games against North
Carolina's Tar Heels at New
Orleans Jan. 1.
Coach Bud Wilkenson's con
ference champs lost their opener
17 to 20 to Santa Clara, then
rallied to win their last nine in
a row, thanks to the develop
ment of Sooner reserves and
sophomores.
In Wilkenson's second year as'
a varsity coach the Sooners set
a new scoring mark of 33.6
points per game.
The Sooners led the nation
In punt runbacks with 963
yards, setting a new school
record and missing by only 12
yards the national record set
eight years ago by Tennessee's
Rose Bowl eleven. Oklahoma
ran back punts 227 yards
against Kansas State, also a
new record for one game.
They established a new Big
Seven conference scoring aver
age of 43.4 points per game while
setting a new rushing record of
297.4 net yards per game.
With this record and with
the punchpacked Sooner of
fense we'll pick Oklahoma to
beat the Tar Heels in the post
season tilt.
Buel R. "Pat" Patterson, Uni
versity of Nebraska wrestling

the NCAA and U. S. Olympic

3 and 4.

tor of the NCAA wrestling guide

TABLE TENNIS CHAMPIONS Shown above is the all-university intramural table tennis cham
pionship team, Zeta Beta Tau. The intramural kings defeated Newman club Tuesday to capture the
championship trophy.
Three Huskcr Seniors
Lead Gridiron Offense
Three Huskcr footballers were
the only bright lights in the semi
darkness of the Nebraska grid
iron picture this season.
Dick Hutton of Auburn, Cletus
Fischer of St. Edward ,and Frank
Collopy of Scottsbluff, carried
the biggest share of Nebraska's
defensive load.
Fleet Dick Hutton led the scor
ing column and pass receiving
department The Auburn speed
ster caught 15 aerials for 231
yards and four of his five touch
downs. Hutton also contribtued
173 yards rushing on 43 tries for
a four yard per try average, the
second highest on this year's
squad.
Cletus Fischer led in rushing
with 4.1 average. He completed
16 of 34 passes for 104 yards and
.432 average. The St. Edward
scatback also finished in a three
way scoring tie for second with
18 points.
Frank Collopy, jr., who enjoyed!

ball tournament;
dcs take second
In a hard fought game on the
part of both teams, the AOPI's
merged to final victory in the
Volley Ball Tournament over the
Delta Gammas, 54 to 20.
Forty-one teams were entered
in the tournament and there were
388 individual players. No doubt
the most outstanding player of
the tournament was Jan Nutzman
of the AOPI team. All of the teams
displayed excellent sportsmanship
and teamwork.
his best season as a Husker, was
second in passing and punting,
third in rushing and scored 18
points.
Ken Fischer was the leading
passer, completing 20 of 31
tosses for 296 yards.
Sophomore Gerald Ferguson of
Scottsbluff topped the punters

with a 41.3 average. Fergie also
had a net yardage gain thru the
air of 235 yards with two of his
aerials going for touchdowns.
Pointing for
Second Win
With one game under their belt,
Husker cagers are setting their
sights on dumping Minnesota's
Gophers Monday. Chief obstacle
in their path will be shackling big
Jim Mclntyre, six-foot nine, 220
pound Gopher center.
The Huskers saw their last min
ute rally fall short in last year's
contest, and were nipped 63-59 in
a game marred by 59 fouls.
Coach Good was pleased with
the work of Bus Whitehead and
Joe Malacek in Wednesday's
opener. Bus seems to be smooth
ing out his floor play this year,
and may give Mclntyre a long,
hard evening Monday. Malacek,
playing in his first varsity game,
worked well at his new forward
post and showed a good basket
eye.
Evident in Wednesday's game
was the weakness of the Huskers'
fast break attack, as compared
with last year's club. The sacri
fice of speed to gain rebound
strength is the main cause. Coach
Good has moved two centers,
Pierce and Malacek, to forward
positions in order to obtain height
under the boards.
The home five hit 24 of 53 shots
for 45 percent, compared to 15
of 45 and a .333 percentage for
the losers. Andei-son and Lawry
had perfect evenings with two
for two, and Anderson added
three free throws in three tries.
Other sharpshooters included Ma
lacek with three of four, and
Whitehead with five for eight.
He lives out at
