THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
PAGE 3
Nebraska's basketball ma
chine, a badly-beaten and be
wildered team for one half of
play, began burning with ethyl
early in a hectic second period
to power its way to a 51-49 up
set over a sharp-shooting Iowa
State quintet.
The loss was a bitter one for
the Cyclones, a team that had
defeated the highly - regarded
Oklahoma Sooners in its Big
Seven opener Saturday night,
48-44.
The unexpected win by the
Huskers gives them a 1-1 record
in league play, Coach Harry
Good's cagers having lost to the
Kansa'J,;Jayhawks down at Law
rence last Saturday night.
It looked as i the superior
height of the Cyclone's Ander
son, Wilhelmi, and Stange would
carry the invaders to an easy vic
tory until the Cornhuskers' Mr.
Inside and Mr. Outside for the
evening, Bernie Akromis and
Jim Buchanan, collaborated in
staging a sparkling rally for the
Huskers that slowly ate up the
ten-point half time advantage of
the Cyclones. 27-17, and carried
the resurging Cornhuskers to
Victory.
Akromis Stars.
Bernie Akromis, the Husker
surprise package of the evening,
finished with a total of 18 points,
fourteen of them coming during
the Huskers' second half rally.

BOB PIERCE . . . Top re
bounder in game.
It was by far the best effort of
the year for the scrappy Omaha
South grad.
Jim Buchanan turned in his
usual outstanding floor game in
addition to collecting 15 points,
most of them coming on long set
shots in the last few minutes of
play. Buchanan is still favoring
his ankle that was badly
. sprained ten days ago at the
Big Ceven conference tourna
ment in Kansas City.
Stance Leads Staters.
The Iowa State scoring punch
came in the form of Jim Stange,
bespectacled six-foot seven inch
junior guard who poured in six
baskets and four free throws to
lead his team with 16 points. Cy
Wilhelmi garnered 13 points on
six field goals, all of his points
and a free throw, coming in the
first half.
The game was tiad but four
times and the lead changed
hands but once, showing the ter
rific uphill battle the Cornhusk
ers had to stage.
Huskers Behind Most of Way
"The Huskers were behind all
the way until Jot Good sunk a
free throw with five minutes
remaining in the contest. The
Cyclones took the ball out of
bounds only to have it stolen by
Buchanan. Kipper was fouled

I-M WRESTLING CHAMPS . . . Here are six of the eight 1950-51 Intramural mat champions.
Left to right: Scott Hedden, 138 lbs.; Phil Sprague, 147 lbs.; Rich Fiala, 157 lbs.; Don Becker, 167
lbs.; Ben Leonard, 177 lbs.; and Dick Goeglein. Not pictured are Milt Norsworthy, winner in the
123 lb. class, and Bill Hofgard, winner in the 130 lb. division.
Delta Tau Delta won the team championship this year with a total of 25 points. This was two
points better than the Muscle Men's 23. Although the Delts did not have an individual champion,
their team balance was enough to carry them to victory.
Sigma Chi finished third with 20 points. Sigma Nu beat Phi Gamma Delta, last year's champs
out of fourth spot by one point, the Nu's garnering 17 points to the Fiji's 16.
Ag Men and Beta Sigma Psi finished in a sixth place tie with 5 points each, and they were
followed by Men's Dorm and Delta Sigma Phi with 8 apiece.
Only Goeglein, the Husker footballer, is a repeat champion. Dick was also in the heavy
wei,it division last year.
Four of the eight individual winners are now working out with Coach Al Partin's Varsity
wrestling squad.

on a drive-in but failed to make
his gift toss.
Gay Anderson put the tnvaders
into the lead again with a sen
sational lay-up shot with 4:10
left. Buchanan arched a long
set shot from 30 feet out that
knotted the score at 45-45.
Stange converted two charity
tosses when he was fouled by
Pierce to once more put the
Cyclones into a 47-45 lead. Akro
mis tied it up with a beautiful
fade-aw-ay shot from the free
throw circle.
Stange hit a hook shot with
3:00 left to make it 49-47. Ne
braska came right back on Joe
Good's long two-hander from the
left side of the court.
Long, whose only two baskets
came at critical times, fouled out
with 1:45 left and Nebraska
elected to take the ball out of
bounds. It looked like Coach
Good had instructed his cagers
to play a control game until the
last seconds of the play, but Kip
per dispelled this theory wtih a
game-wmning one-hander from
20 feet out with still 1:15 to play.
This made the score 51-49.
The two Iowa State guards,
Stange and Youngblade, suddenly
developed cases of shattered
nerves as they twice threw the
ball out of bounds. Regaining
possession of the ball, the Cy
clones tried desperately to get a
close shot at the hoop.
Akromis Fouls Out
Bernie Akromis received a big
ovation as he fouled out of the
game with 57 seconds remaining.
Iowa State took the ball out of
bounds and Buchanan fouled
Stange while attempting to steal
the ball. Again the Cyclones
elected to play the ball in from
the sidelines and this time Kipper
stole the ball from Anderson.
On a Nebraska fast break with
time running out Buchanan tried
a drive-in from the side and
missed.
Buchanan ' missed a drive-in
from the side on a Nebraska fast
break as time ran out and the
I-Staters cleared the boards.
Good fouled Cyclone Jack Luh
rihg with two seconds to play and
of course the visitors again took
the ball out of bounds.
Luhring put up a desperate
one-hander as the game ended
that came dangerously close to
sending the game into an over
time. And so the Huskers were
presented with their first Big
Seven victory in a year in which
Coach Good's cagers were picked
by experts to finish deep in the
second-division.
PIERCE REBOUNDS. I
Big Bob Pierce, the Husker
scoring ace in most of the pre
vious games, was closely guard
ed by the Cyclones Stange and
Wilhemi and shot but a few
times. However, his rebound
ing, partcularly in the second
half, was marvelous to watch as
he continually outfought the op
ponents. The game started slowly with
Cy Wilhemi making it 2-0, Iowa
State on a short set-shot. Pierce
sank a free throw at 3:29 to
make it 2-1.
From these the Cyclones' An
derson and Wilhemi pulled the
visitors into leads of 6-2, 8-4,
10-6, and 19-12. Akromis was
the only Husker to hit two buck
ets in the first half.
The game was momentarly in
teiTupted with 6:16 minutes re
maining as the timer discov
ered the big scoreboard clock
was gaining ten seconds every
minute it ran. From there on
in stop watches were used to
keep the time.

At the half it was 27-17, with

the Cyclones showing no signs
of weakening. Akromis got a
quick basket for the Huskers
on the second-half tip-off. With
16 minutes remaining in the
contest it was still 31-22, Iowa
State.
Nebraska used the fast break
to make two quickies, the first
coming when Buchanan hit
Pierce on a "Nagle" 30-yard
pass play that . carried for a
score and the other resulting
from a perfect str ike thrown
by Pierce into the waiting arms
of Akromis underneath the Iowa
State basket. This spurt by the
Huskers made the score 36-31,
Iowa State.
Thereafter the visitors adapt
ed the Missouri control-style of
play. Akromis and Stange ex
changed baskets and Long of
Iowa State added two points on
drive-in shots and the score
stood 42-34.
Buchanan sank a long two
handed set shot with 8:38 re
maining to narrow the gap 42-36.
Jim then added two more points
on free throws to make the count
42-38.
Akromis added a set-up on a
fast break at 6:21 that pulled
the Huskers within two points,
42-40. The Cyclones picked up
a charity toss and Akromis
drove in for' a lay-up on anoth
er fast break that made the
score 43-42. This set the stage
for Good's tying free throw shot.
JJuring half-time ceremonies,
the Tom Novak Trophy was pre
sented to Charley Toogood who
was voted the outstanding senior
of the 1950 Cornhusker football
team. This trophy will go each
year to the most valuable senior
on the team, and was presented
last night by Tom Novak him
self. J. Gordon Roberts presented
the J. Gordon Roberts trophy to
Fran Nagle, and Floyd Olds of
the Omaha World-Herald award
ed rings to Nagle, Toogood and
Bob Reynolds, the Cornhusker
members voted to the World
Herald's All Big Seven team.
The highlight of the evening
up to that time came when the
sophomore members of the foot
ball squad vied with the seniors
in a one hand one boxing glove
basketball game. The winner was
not decided, as no points were
scored, but from the sidelines the
sophomores appeared to have a
very slight edge. Starting for the
seniors were Jack Carroll, Art
Bauer, Rich Novak, Don Stras
hheim, and Walt Spellman. The
sophomore team was composed of

Buck" Barger Tops
With NU
By John Sinclair
(Staff Sports Writer
Much has been said about the
new, efficient and highly suc
cessful way the intramural pro
gram has been handled in the
past three semesters. The person
mainly responsible for this
change has been one Robert C.
Barger, better known around the
campus as "Buck."
Buck hails from Greeley, Colo.,
and is now approaching the dod
dering old age of 26, . and is a
member of Delta Upsilon frater
nity. Robert C. is a P.E. Major
and the holder of one degree.
He is now working for his Mas
ters. Prior to entering the Uni
versity, Buck was a medic in the
paratroopers. Buck suffered se
vere leg and hip injuries while
making his jump, in the Battle
of the Bulge, was captured, and
spent the remainder of the war
as a prisoner of war in a Ger
man prison camp. With the com
ing of V.E. day he was released
and shortly after his discharge
from the "troopers" he entered
the "Cornhusker camp."
Those of the "old guard" re
member that Buck has been ac
tive in University activities since
his enrollment, with most of his
energies being centered around
Husker sports.
Athletic Trainer.
Under "Doc" Dees, Buck was
assistant athletic trainer for three
years and after Doc's departure
he took over and did a yeoman
like job for eight months before
transferring over to the P.E. de
partment in November of 1949.
He is now working with Charlie
Miller, director of the physical
education department. Buck
holds down the job of supervisor
of intramural activities and
sports program. During his days
as a trainer, Buck has known
and worked with such Corn
husker notables as: the never to
be forgotten Dick Hutton, Jim
"Squat" Myers, All - American
Tom Novak, Charley Toogood,
Bill "Rocky" Mueller, Don
"Boom-Boom" Bloom, Big Jack
Pesek, Clete Fisher, and football
and track star, Hurryin' Harry
Meginnis.
Since his connection with the
P.E. Department Buck has man
aged to coordinate the activities
and fraternity play-offs to al
most everyone's satisfaction, in
cluding the losing teams. This is
evidently due to the noticeable
lack of foul language, loss of
tempers and the display of fis-
Fran Returns Home;
Was Bowl Standout
A quiet-spoken Irish kid who
ranks with the country's greatest
quarterbacks, was back in Lin
coln Monday, more eager to talk
about the thrill of meeting and
playing with stars like Kyle Rote
than about his own top-notch
performances.
That's Fran Nagle, Nebraska's
senior quarterback, who threw
two touchdown passes in the
West's 16-7 win over the East,
and whose passing came close to
beating the South in Saturday's
Senior bowl. He threw one pass
for a touchdown that carried 26
yards, and completed 12 of 21
for 137 yards.
Nagle said playing in the
Shrine's East-West game was the
biggest thrill of his career. "It
was great to play in that game
and with such outstanding fel
lows. And we were treated won
derfully." Southern Methodist's Kyle
Rote, ground-gaining star of the
Shrine game, impressed Fran
most of all the backs he paw.
"He's a terrific all-around play
er, and a fine kid, too. He takes
his acclaim well."
Of U.C.L.A.'s Bob Wilkinson,
who caught a touchdown pass
from Fran to score one of the
North's Senior Bowl touchdowns,
Nagle says "He's an excellent
end. He's 6-2, about 210 pounds,
and does the 100 yard dash in
9.9."
And it was mighty good to
play with, instead of against, the
half dozen Oklahomans who
were his teammates Saturday.
"They're swell guys and great
players," Nagle said.
Fran wouldn t say the officials
were wrong in refusing the North
another play following a timeout
with about 15 seconds left in Sat

ticuffs, both during and after
the games, which prior to Buck'i
time was the vogue.
Modest.
Buck modestly shrugs off hit
success with the intramural pro
gram, but did explain that by
knowing almost all of the par
ticipants (which he does) it
makes his role of coordinator
and mediator easier to handle.
Besides going to classes and
supervising the IN program,
Buck is also interested in a mus
cular rebuilding program, to start
the muscular redevelopment of
palsey and polio victims. This
project will no doubt become a
reality when Buck finally is
awarded his Ph.D. sometime in
the not too distant future.
For those of you who are not
acquainted with our personality,
namely one Robert C. Barger, he
is on call at the P.E. building
any time from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Just look for a fellow that stands
a little over six feet, is pleas
antly plump, brown wavy hair,
(receding hair line), and a
friendly grin for all. And that's
your boy. (However, a word of
cautiondon't ever let him catch
you on the basketball court with
your street shoes on you frosh
take heed.)
Seriously though, for doing
such a swell job with a tough
job. and for the tireless effort
and integrity put into his work,
students of the University would
like to say, "Thanks a lot Buck
Barger, for a job well done."
urday's game. "I don't know,"
he hedges.
The North was on the South'!
1-yard line, trailing by a point,
and thought it had another play
coming.
Nagle reports, "One of our
players was injured and we
thought we had time out. We
didn't see the clock moving, , and
the official never signaled time
was in. We called the play, got
up to the line of scrimmage, and
the official said that was it."
That decision may have cost
each North player $70. Members
of the winning team got $220 and
the losers $150 each. The North
might well have scored, too.
"The South was crowding up in
the center, and we were going to
fake a plunge and pass to the
end."
A galaxy of pro scouts saw
the games. Fran said he had no
offers, but was contacted by
phone by a Philadelphia Eagle
