These teams are in the lower bracket with Wayne Prep and Primrose. Chester bumps into Polk while Dalton smashes into Axtell. Plenty of Excitement If the forty-first annual bas ket ball tournament is anything similar to pre-tourney play offs there will be plenty of excitement and upsets to keep even the calm est of individuals jumping. The three top teams were knocked off in their particular tournaments. Northeast was bumped by Lin coln High, Tech defeated Benson, and North Platte went down at the hands of Scottsbluff. Grand Island will not be a con tender this year as they supped to an underdog Hastings. Has tings kept the ball rolling as they went on to down Fremont. In Class B the main upset saw Holdrege swing into high gear and drop Minden's hope of trav eling to the State's largest and most desired meeting. Chappell's Buffaloes, defending champion, upset Chadron Prep in two overtimes 57-55. Axtell will take the floor Thursday due to a spurt which took them past favorite Brady. Another Class D upset was Wayne Prep's win over Uehling. All-Americans Rivals in Game Two all-American guards will match wits and court prowess Wednesday night when Kansas State and Illinois, champions of the Bin Sever, and Big Ten re spectively. pair off in a tuneup game for the NCAA playoffs in which both teams will compete for national honors the following week. A good deal of Kansas State's hopes in the 1950-51 Iieldhouse highlight will be pinned on Ernie Barrett, who is being mentioned on most everyone's all-American teams. Spearheading the Illinois attack will be Don Sunderlage who also can claim all-American distinction. Barrett, who leads Kansas State's ten-cylinder attack with 251 points, has been named first team all-American by importing News. He is listed on the second team by Associated Press and Look magazine, while United Press gives him a third team nod as well as a first team berth on the all-Big Seven quintet. Sunderlage, a 6-0 basketball shorty, has burned the cords for 370 points this season ana is nit ting a mean 38 per cent of his tries from the field. He, too, was listed by United' Press on its third team all-American. The two fireball guards are identical in their blazing brand of play, rugged backboard work, and split secoond play timing, but the expected crowd of 13,000 will see two different brands of shoot ing. Barrett's speciality is a soft, one-handed poke which he seems to hit best from outside the circle or in the corners. Sunderlage's pet point maker isa driving one handed push shot that usually hits the mark when hoisted to ward the basket. The Illinois guard is torrid from the free throw line. He led Illini free thhrowers in 1949 with a .704 average to win the Ralf Woods Memorial Trophy and set a Big Ten free toss mark in 1950 when he hit 20 in a row. No matter what the outcome Wednesday night, fans should go away satisfied because they will have seen two of the game's fin est performers in action. Boston Braves Need Catcher The Boston Braves are in need of a major league catcher. They were left with only Walker Cooper as their only experienced catcher Sunday when Del Cran dall received notice from his draft board that he will be in ducted on March 26. Besides Cooper, the Braves have rookies Paul Bums, Walter Linden and Ed St Claire on their present catching staff. The Braves are believed to be interested in making a deal . for Bruce Edwards of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Mickey Owen of the Chicago Cubs or Rafael Noble of the New York Giants. The Boston Red Sox have hit ting troubles. The mightiest bats in baseball have scored only two runs and made just 12 hits in 18 innings against the pitching of Howie Fox and Ken Raflensber fer of the Reds and Bubba Church, Ken Heintzelman and Robin Roberts of the Phils. After gaining a split in their two-game week end series with ehe White Sox, the Chicago Cubs 1 switched to minor league opposi tion Monday. A single by Bob Borkowski' scored Ransom Jackson in Sun day's tussle and proved to be the winning score. Joe DiMaggio's replacement, the highly touted Mickey Mantle, had his debut delayed Monday; when be was hit above the left eye attempting to catch a fly balL , Mantle lost his "duel with the un" in the fourth inning of Sun- usEier svirfli friers yi i jf h rsi O R 4 wresviers irinisn aeve Reese Wins Heavyweight The Oklahoma Sooners, de fending Big Seven wrestling champions, re-annexed their ti tle Saturday at Norman. The Sooner roatmen took six out of the eight final matches, ending up with 47 points. Kansas State was second with 21, Iowa State had 17. while Colorado and Ne braska each turned in 14. Oklahoma won all weight classe classes except the 117 pound and the heavyweight, went to Maynard Skinner of Col orado and Herb Reese, of Nebras-J day's Yankee-Cleveland Indian game, won by the Yankees, 13 to 8. The sportlight is focusing on the hitters in the Pittsburgh Pi rates' training camp. The Pirates scored 17 runs while beating the St Louis Browns, 9 to 8 and 8 to 5, over the weekend and Monday play the Seattle Rainiers of the Pa cific Coast League. Tommy Brown, a candidate for left field with the Brooklyn Dodgers, put in a strong claim for a oermanent berth Monday. The 21-year-old "little DiMag gio" broke up Sunday's game with the Boston Braves when he smashed a two-run ninth-inning double off the left field wall to give the Dodgers a 10 to 9 vie-! tory. AROUND THE LOOP... ka, respetcively. Reese, undefeated this year, tok a referee's decision from Alvin Ogden of K-State. Herb, two year iBg 7 Champ, remains the top "rassler" in the circuit.

Ed Lane, Husker 157 pounder, had a tough night with the ref erees as he won one, tost two all on referees decisions. In the semi-finals, Frank Marks of Oklahoma pinned Ne braskan Al Johnson with a dou ble arm lock. Marks went on to win the conference 167 pound championship.

NU Swimmer Twice Winner The University of Nebraska scored 27 points at the Big Seven swimming meet to place third in the final conference standings. Eddie Crarer was the bright light in the Cornhusker machine. He was in top form and brought home both the three meter and the one meter fancy diving titles. He oiled ud 349.8 points to win the three meter title and the same amount in winning the oth er title. Craren was the first diver in Bie Seven history to hold both titles at the same time. Veteran Buele Balderston pepped up enough to win third place tn the 100-yard backstroke. Ted Kanamine, Nebraska's star sprinter, showed enough speed to place third in the 100 yard tree style. Balderston. came back to place fifth, in the 200 yard back stroke. In the 220 yard freestyle Jerry Desmond, sophomore distance swimmer, picked up a fourth place for the Husker cause. The Husker 440 yard freestyle relay team placed fourth in that event They also placed fourth in the 300 yard medley relay. The Huskers were shut out in the 100 vard breaststroke, the 440 yard freestyle, the 120 yard individual medley, the 60 yard freestyle, and the 200 yard breaststroke. The Iowa State tankers piled up 107 points to win the confer ence title. Defending champion Oklahoma was not too far behind with 87. Colorado was fourth with 28 points. Missouri, Kansas, and Kansas State did not send swimming teams to the meet. Iowa State won her fifteenth conference title in 19 years. The Cyclones built up a 62-51 margin at the end of eight events, and pulled away completely in tne remaining events. A total of nine new records were bung up in the meet. Lee Anderson set a new mark of 1:02 in the 100 yard backstroke for Oklahoma. Stan Black of Colo rado set a Dew mark of 1:05 in the 100 yard breaststroke.

CIVE 11017 through Your RED CROSS "There are many new faces, and little is known about their abilities," remarked Baseball Coach Tony Sharpe. No one realizes better than he the tough problem he faces in rebuilding a team from practic ally the ground up in order to field a ball club that will retain the Big Seven championship and maintain the Cornhusker prom inence acquired in recent years. With outstanding ball players like Cerv, Denker, Grogan, Hays, Novak, and Vrbka gone, the ma terial with which to reconstruct is a shadow of that of more re cent years. With the exception of a small nucleus of experienced boys, the stock is as green as the prover bial grass on the other side of the fence. Consequently, the job of screening out the boys from the men will be a difficult process and will require shrewd handling and intelligent judg ment. Woes Fortunately, the woes of Coach Sharpe are also the woes of oth er conference pilots. Gradua tions, pro teams, and the Selec tive Service Boards have ran sacked much of their talent, so they too are faced with the prob lem of reshaping their squads. A swing around the loop finds Colorado rating the dubious dis tinction of losing more lettermen than any other club in the con ference. Colorado lost 13 var sity players. Two good hurlers in Nix and Maniro, the only re turning veterans, provide the fo cal point around which an en tire team must be formed. Nix cut Nebraska short last season, limiting them to four hits, and with him on the mound Colorado will be tough. Not too much is expected of the mountain boys. Last season Missouri claimed the best mound staff in the loop, having Smith, Englert and Eber hart. But Smith and Englert are gone, and Missouri will have to dig deep to come up with moundsmen of equal effective ness. Add the losses of shortstop Eatock, first baseman Frier and catcher Alexander. Second base man K.utz and chucker Eberhart will provide some thrills, but the Tigers on the whole should be a weak sister in the conference. Kansas, with veteran hurler Sandefur on the hill, should post a few wins in the record book, come the end of the season. However, Kansas has little else and they seem destined to battle it out with Colorado and Mis souri for the cellar slot. Kansas State will be scream ing blue murdor over the losses to pro ball of second baseman Scannel and outfielder Speck for a long time, and who could blame them? Add to Scannel and Speck, players like outfield er Johnson, and pitchers Iver son, Reitemeir and Pine, and the result would be a top contender for the Big Seven crown, With out these Kansas State will be in the upper four, but will need more than a fair share of breaks to take the conference crown. Oklahoma has been skinned of most of her talent, including ace hurler Kirk, first baseman Jones, a .400 hitter last year, and Stephenson, smooth working and hard hitting shortstop. How ever, this is one school that should never be underestimated. Like the black gold from Okla homa soil, the baseball material appears to be never-ending. Vet eran hurler Shirley and center fielder Pagsley will be back, so Oklahoma will be a rought test for any learn this year. Iowa State, on paper, would seem to be the best bet for tak ing the conference crown. Re turning veterans include pitcher Singley, Hackbath and Lurking, outfielders Johnson, Stone, and Delbridge, and catcher Steward. The big problem here will be filling in a whole new infield, but the experienced moundsman and power hitters make the Cy clones a team to bear watching. NU Lettermen On the Cornhusker side of the picture the lettermen are in- fielder Bill Jensen, outfielder ! Bob Diers, Ray Mladovich and ! chucker Del Kopf. The glaring weakness on the hill may get j a shot in the arm from a few i "greenies" who have been show- j ing promise recently. Dale Bun- j son, George Nutt and Henry I Mullen are the dark horses that I could relieve the heavy burden being carried by Kopf and i "Pinky" McCormick. In the outfield Diers, Jerry I Dunn and Bill Fitzgerald are ex- j pected to fill in and provide the ; needed hitting power. ! At present the infield is shap- ; ing up with John Leach at first base, Bob Reynolds at second, Jensen at shortstop, and John Rego at third. Leach has worked at first base for a short time, but I he looks good and makes a very impressive target for the long throws. Behind the plate Ray Mlado vich seems most likely with Bob Loreburg and Bob Steinburg pushing hard. The fctandard assets for the team will be defensive play and speed afoot. Without a doubt the arts of drag bunting and base streaking will be revived. Hustle and spirit, which re flect the optimism of the coach ing staff and the players, is very much in evidence. With many of the big bats gone, hustle may very well decide the outcome of many games and ultimately the representative to the national tournament in Omaha.
