Wednesday, January 91952 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 4. By RON GIBSON' 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.

J. Gordon Roberts of Omaha annually awards a trophy to the most valuable senior. Charles Toogood won the award in 1950. The presentation will be made Monday night between halves of the Kansas Nebraska basketball game. After playing three years with Nebraska without an injury, Si' mon DroKe nis ngnt tnumo in practice sessions for the East-West contest which limited his play to a short turn on defense at San Francisco. Although born in Nebraska, Si mon played his high school foot ball at Newcumberland, Pa., re turning to the Cornhusker state when his father was named su perintendent of schools at Burch ard. During his three year tour of duty with the Cornhusker at end, Simon caught 40 passes for 760 yards and four touchdowns.

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 ing 53 rebounds to the Buffs' 36 The rebounding leader for the Scarlet was Charlie Ott with 10. Ott took six offensive rebounds and cleared the boards four times on defense.

Harry Good feels that the ex- iFredstrom and perience of playing two top Isome changes. 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.

Gustav- ard, followd by Colling and John- 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. son, with Phil Heidelk running the anchor leg. The Spikes came through in the independent class competi tion with an excellent 3:44.4 timing. Blake Cathro, Bobby Fairchild, Jim Hurley and Hop py McCue composed the mem bership of the winning team. Results of the fraternity 60-yard dash finals showed Don Sterba, representing Alpha, Tau Omega, winning with Jack Anderson of Phi Delta Theta second. Jack James, Dick Westin, Ted Connors and Jack Scoville finished in that Blake Cathrop and Tom Stoup, apiKes; finished in that order. In the fraternity one-lap run, Phil Heidelk sped the distance in 29.7 to nudge out Jack Scov ille who covered the lap in 29.8. Charley Hunley was third with 29.9. Jim Hurley topped the inde-f pendent entrees with a 31.0 effort. John Denny, Men's dorm, was sec ond 31.1 and Bobby Fairchild third with 31.2.
