Wildcats
Favored
Over NU
BY DON BRYANT
Nebraska's unpredictable Corn
huskers will place their Big Seven
chips on the table Saturday night
at Manhattan when they meet the
Kansas State Wildcats. It will be
the Huskers first conference
tussle.
GAME POSTPONED.
Due to Kansas State's lack
of glass bankboards the Nebraska-Wildcat
tilt has 'been
rancelled. This was announced
by Coach Harry Good Wednes
day, who explained that it is'
a conference rule that mem
ber schools have glass boards.
The game has been resched
uled on March 11.

will be a heavy favorite to take
the staggering Nebraska gang into
tow.
The Wildcats, in addition to
winning two games in the Big
Seven tourney at Kansas City,
have been victorious in six out of
eight of their non-conference
games. They dropped contests to
Oklahoma in the tourney, Wis

ward Rich Harmon. A unanimous j
choice for all conference honors
last season. Harmon will probably
be a thorn in the Husker's sides.
Last year he hit 38 percent of
his field goal atempts, while aver
aging 11.6 points a game.
The Huskers, who burnt up the
Kansas City maples in the last
game of the Big Seven Tourna
ment against Iowa State, were
unable to create even a warm
breeze in their mix with SoDak
U. Monday night.
Harry Good's boys have failed
to s)ow any fire power in the
front ranks. If Bus Whitehead is
held down or fails to find . the
range, the Huskers are with out
any consistant scoring punch.
Jim Buchanan, fireball soph
guard, is showing more than a
little ability, but still needs a good
deal of seasoning.
The first year men have had
quite a bit of experience in the
Cornhuskers early games
should help the cause, but

Gymnastics is one of the few
truly individual sports. Its ulti
mate objective is physical im
provement and personal achieve
ment which becomes team ac
complishment when an organized
group of men compete for honors
with another team.
The sport can be called "indi
vidual" because when a man is
called on to perform his exercise
before judges during a meet he
is all by himself.
He has no opponent to defeat
directly and he cannot compare
his performance with that of an
other. He must display his own
personal achievement, unaided by
teammates. What he does rests on
his shoulders alone.
10 Man Team
Gymnastics as practiced at the
University of Nebraska is worked
on five pieces of apparatus, and
mat tumbling. The apparatus
consists of sidehorse, parallel bars,
horizontal bar,
Hying rings, ana
trampoline.
Under NCAA rules, three men
are entered in each event with a
limit of 10 men on a team. This
means that each man must be
proficient in at least two events.
Each team member prepares an
exercise of his own selection
which will be performed in the

reason? "Trainwreck" was playing. When Tom Novak was
nnA nf the first four nlavers
team in the Shrine game, Husker followers were elated.
Then when he was chosen co-captain with Linay tserry,
TCU quarterback, the fans of the Scarlet and Cream knew
their faith in Big Tom was not unfounded.
The four-year All-Big Seven selection lived up to the
kind of advanced notice sent out by West Coast scribes and
played his usual outstanding game. Tom visited the Shrine
Hospital in San Francisco and was particularly impressed
with the work done with the profits of the Shrine game.
Elsewhere in New Years bowl games, Big Seven teams
batted .500. The Oklahoma Sooners proved to the nation
they were rightful owners of the number two spot among
the country's grid teams as they walloped Louisiana State
35-0 in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans.
Missouri, the other conference eleven engaged in post
season activity, didn't fare as well when they fumbled to
a 20-0 loss to Maryland in the Gator Bowl.
The latest rumor about a match between top rated Notre
Dame and the Sooners is that Oklahoma officials are shift
ing their early schedule for next year to fit in a game with
the Irish.

State back from Benson High in Omaha, decided to enroll
at the University. Westin was rated as the most dangerous
runer in Omaha prep football the past two seasons. He was
equally as effective on defense.
After his decision to enroll at Nebraska, Westin was
quoted as saying, "I think Coach Bill Glassford and as
sistants are the type of men I want to play for." This
strengthens Glassford's claim to bring out the cream of
the Nebraska prep crop.
A recent compiling of Big Seven sports for 1949 found
Oklahoma and Nebraska leading the league in individual
championships. Each school won two titles outright and
shared a third. The Sooners won the football and tennis
crowns while the Cornhuskers were taking top honors in
indoor track and wrestling. The two teams tied for the
basketball laurels.
