The Big beven basketball conference race is un-
doubtedly the most confusing of any conference in the

This year, the pre-season dope sheet was tossed out
the window a week after the season offically opened.

the dual track meets prior to
the Indoor meet at KC.
Underdog Kansas university
won the meet after Nebraska
and Missouri had been classed
as very strong favorites.
K-State Favored
Kansas State college was
tabbed to' win the basketball
laurels with Oklahoma giving
the opposition, but look what
happened:
1. Missouri won the pre
season tourney and the Soon
ers were runners-up.
2. Both of these teams are
now out of the race which haa
narrowed to Nebraska, Kan
sas State and "dark-horse
Kansas V.
Currently the Hunkers are a
half game ahead of the other
two contenders, but alter last
tiight (Monday) either Kansas
State or Kansas will be tied with
sn 8-3 record. The losers, unless
nothing goes right, will be out
of the race.

no one was more unhappy than
the basketball team. Had they
won, they would automatically
have won a bid from the Na

As things now stand, if the
Big Seven produces a co-cham-pionship
affair, one will play
Bradley for the right to repre
sent District five in the NCAA
and the other will get the bid
to the NIT.
If Nebraska beats Kansas
State at Manhattan Saturday
night, the Huskcrs will have at
least a co-championship, but
Kansas State will have the ad
vantage of playing on their
small court.

Dick Means, Minnesota's start

to try his luck in the Big Ten,
has been sidelined the last lew

both hands.
Means has set one new record

Means burned the meshes with
seven field goals in 12 attempts
to set a new conference record
of .750.

Stopped
Lindell Pearson can not play
more football for the University
of Oklahoma.
Big Seven faculty representa
tives ruled the star fullback in
eligible for further varsity com
petition by a 6 to 1 vote Friday.
They thus reasserted a Decem
ber decision that Pearson has
had his three years of varsity
play.
Two Years at OIT
Pearson has played two years
at Oklahoma. While a freshman
at the University of Arkansas, he
saw action for a short while on
the "B" team. The faculty com
mittee counted that as a year's
competition.
An Oklahoma motion to re
consider the December ruling
was killed by Friday's vote.
For the first time this year,
pictures will be taken of the

Maslerson Named
Back Field Coach
For Hmvkeycs
Nebraska football fans all
wisi Bernie Maslerson good
j luck, as he resumes the college
football coaching business near
his home state.
Masterson will take over the
backfield post at the University
of Iowa this fall. He will suc
ceed Frank Carideo who has had
many pleasant seasons at the
university.
Both coaches have much in
common. Both boys jumped into
head coaching jobs in the Big
Seven without having enough
coaching experience. That is
the main reason why Carideo
failed at Missouri, and Master
son at Nebraska.
Masterson, who used to sling
the ball for the Cornhuskers,
was the Nebraska coach during
the 1947 season.
