Husker Five
To Meet OU
At KC Tonite
Nebraska cagers left Sunday
morning at 7:30 for Kansas City
where they will meet Oklahoma
Monday night.
The twelve-man squad entrained
with high hopes, confident that
they will drop Oklahoma and gain
the playoff spot against the Ag
gies Wednesday night.
The team feels that they should
have won at least one and prob
ably both of the two previous
clashes with the Sooners. Their
confidence is emphasized by the
vote following the Missouri game
concerning whether they should
play OU lor the NCAA spot or
leave it to a conference nomina
tion. The players voted unani
mously to meet the Sooners.
Coach Good gave the team a
much needed rest following the
Tiger game. But Wednesday the
squad began preparation for the
Oklahoma contest, working
against a freshman outfit using
OU formations. Considerable em
phasis was put to polishing the
Husker offensive attack.
The team is more relaxed now,
with the pressure of the confer
ence race over, and should settle
down to play the type of ball they
showed in January, good thought.
Two participants in the NCAA
western finals Friday and Satur
day have already been named.
Arkansas will represent the south
west, and Wyoming the Rocky
Mountain area. The west coast
entrant was to be decided Sat
urday night in a playoff between
UCLA and Washington. The
fourth team will be decided at
Kansas City.
Tickets for the Monday and
Wednesday games are available
at the Coliseum ticket office.
They are to be exchanged at KC
municipal auditorium. All Husker
followers will be seated together
in the center of the west side.
The Coliseum will be closed
the days of the high school bas
ketball tournament. The dates
of the tourney are Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Satur
day, March 16, 17, 18 and 19.
Doors will be open in the
morning at 11:30 for the after
noon sessions and 5:30 p. m. for
the evening: games.
There will be no workouts
in the Coliseum or on the Coli
seum floor. Any students desir
ing equipment should obtain it
before the 16th.
Movie Cartoons
Halt Test Tension
Brown University recently
called in movie cartoon char
acters to help dissipate the nerv
ous tension built up within the
undergraduates during the mid
year examination period.
Working on the theory that
there should be brief periods of
relaxation between exams, offi
cials scheduled a noontime series
of comic cartoons featuring Bugs
Bunny and other well-known car
toon personalities to be shown
at the campus theatre.

Next Session
Husker gridders moved into the
end of their first week of spring
training with the stress still on
fundamentals and a little unit
work sandwiched between the
drills.
Saturday's workout consisted of
two hours of hard driving and
hitting. The backs were sent
through different plays and the
ends took a long drill on breaking
through interference.
The lineman worked on the
same fundamentals, blocking,
charging and turning.
Leading men for the center po
sition during the early workouts
include veteran Tom Novak, Dick
Reese and Joe McGill. Bob Mul
len, 200-lb. husky, is recovering

teamwork.
