The honeymoon is about over.
Coach Harry Good's Nebraska
basketball squad, now sharing the
Big Seven conference lead after
dropping Colorado 63-61 Saturday
night, journey to Manhattan next
Saturday to take on Jack Gard
ner's Kansas State Wildcats in
what may be the toughest test of
tne season for the young Husker
nippers.
And almost everything points
to a wildcat victory. The K-
Staters have the edge in height,
experience, shooting ability and
rebounding skill. With Bob
Carby, Jess Prisock, "Hoot"
Gibson and a host of other red
hot roundballers, Kansas State
is loaded with basketball talent,
a fact which is reflected by
their seventh-place rating in the
national AP poll.
However, Husker fans point to
Nebraska's showing in the first
quarter of the somewhat hectic
affair with Colorado. Nebraska
scored 24 points in the first quar
ter of the game, while holding the
Buffs to IS.
Coach Good cited the play
of Fred Seger, Stan Matzke,
Paul Fredstrom and Charlie Ott
as instrumental in the Colorado
victory. Good named these four

Some interesting statistics on
the Colorado game reveal a few
surprises. One suprise is the de
cided rebounding edge the Husk
ers had over their opponents, tak

The rebounding leader for the
Scarlet was Charlie Ott with 10.

As proof of the fact that there
is no rest for the weary, the Hus-
kers will take on Kansas, the na
tion's number one team, next
Monday at the Coliseum. That is
just two days after the K-State
game.
Harry Good feels that the ex- iFredstrom and

clubs like the Kansas teams will
be better for the Cornhuskers
than would a series of games
with weaker schools. Good
commented that teams like
Kansas and K-State give the
Big Seven a great deal of na
tional prestige, although it
makes things tough for the five
other schools in the league.
The NU coach figured his team's
chances would probably not im
prove this season, lor the simple
reason that as the Huskers get
better, the other clubs get better
too.
As for the Wildcats of Jack
Gardner, Good said "there are
no one or two men that can be
stopped. They have good re
serve strength. If the starting
five isn't doing too well, Jack
(Gardner) can put in someone
just as good." Good picks the
Wildcats to be the team to beat
in the Big Seven next year.
The game will be the first con
ference test for the K-Staters, who
last week trounced Arizona 71-48.
Meanwhile, Good announced
three lineup changes for the Hus
kers. Last week's starting auin-

The Benchwarmer
By RON GIBSON
Sports Staff Writer . .
On the cover of the latest issue of The Sporting News there
was a cartoon showing some baseball fans sitting around a stove
and remarking that there wasn't much fuel for the "old hnt. stnvp"
just now. In a woodbox beside the stove were three logs,, labeled
"DiMaggio Retires," "Stanky To Manage Cards," and "Cincinnati-
niiaaeipnia Trad."
These, seem to be about the only topics being discusspH in thr
hot stove league right now. So here goes for a rundown of each.
Joe DiMaggio finally made public the fact that he is no
longer going to play for the Yanks. Joe. who played on the great
Yankee pennant-winning teams of 1936-39, and also on the flag
winning outfits of 1941-43. 1947, and 1949-51. has done something
which many great athletes have been unable to do: retire before
they became "bums."
A lot of athletes want to hang around after they are far past
their peak, and in doing so only hurt themselves physically in ad
dition to hurting their reputations. But not the Yankee Clipper. Joe
stepped down just in time. And he stepped right into a well-paying
job telecasting Yank games. Now DiMag will always be remembered
as the great star he is. There is no tragic story of a washed-up ball
player who gradually faded out of the picture. Joe made a smart
move, quitting when he was ahead.
With the signing of Eddie Stanky as manager of the St. Louis
Cardinals, baseball withnessed a strange thing. Here was Eddie
the Brat, who in his days at Brooklyn fought harder against the
Cards than probably anyone else In the National League, now lead
ing his old enemies.
It seemed odd when Leo Durocher. another fire-eater, went
irom me ijoagers io tne Giants in a surDrise move one dav In 1P.4R.
And look what the Giants did with Durocher at the helm. Perhaps
aianKy can ao tne same tnmg ior the Cards.
At any rte the Cards can do little better than they did last
year, finishing third when they were expected to finish in the sec
ond division. Despite illnesses which ruined the Redbird's chances
in the early part of the season, the Cards put on a late-season drive
to wind up in third place.
Maybe the Brat can shove the Cards up a couple of notches,
although the club needs a first baseman, another outfielder, and
possibly some pitchers.
One of the most recent deals In the majors was a big swap
between Cincinnati and Philadelphia. If past performances are
any indications of a ballplayer's ability? it seems that the Phi?s
got the short end of the deal. For they sent Dick Sisler and Andy
Seminick to the Redlegs tir Howie Fox. There were other players
involved in the deal, but they were what might be termed
"throw-ins."
Although the Phils could use a replacement for Curt Simmons,
it looks like they have cut off their collective nose to spite their face.
Admittedly, Seminick is growing old. But he can still handle pitch
ers, especially young ones.
Sisler can be one of the top boys in the majors, with his speed
and hitting. This marks the second time in his career that Sisler
has been traded to another club just when he was looking like a !
comer. Sisler's first experience in being traded away came when
the Cards sent him to the Phils in 1946.
So those are the main topics of discussion in the hot stove league,
except for Don Newcombe's getting drafted. This is going to hurt
the Dodgers tremendously, as the Brooks rely on Big Newk to do
tne lion s share or tneir mound work,
son is a member, proposed a six
point program to abolish many
practices now common in college
sports.
The Committee recommended
that:
1. All post-season games of
any kind be abolished.
2. Basketball games and prac
tice be confined to the period
between December 1 and March
15.
3. Baseball games and prac
tice be confined to the period
between March 1 and com
mencement. 4. Not only should no fresh
man be allowed to play on a
varsity team, but also that any
transfer from a junior college
should put in a year of resi
dence before being eligible to
play.
5. Scholarships should be
given strictly on the basis of the
student's educational ability and
his needs.
6. That in no case should any
scholarship be for more than
educational expenses at an In
stitution. Dr. John Hannah of Michigan
State college, the chairman of the
committee, announced the pro
gram Monday.
Before the committee's plan
could go into effect, it would
have to be approved by the
executive committee of the Amer
ican Council on Eduction. Hannah
said he hoped the program could
be put into effect by the start of
the next school year.
However, Hannah pointed out
that any existing contracts for
jowl games, such as the Big Ten-
?acific Coast pact, would oe ai
owed to stay in effect until the
contract ran out.
Hannah said the plan would
have to be enforced by the NCAA,
lhe schools themselves and their
conferences.
If the committee's program is
adopted, it would mean the end
of all bowl games, out-oi-season
basketball tournaments, and all
out-of-seasnn practice.
