In The Stands
Don Weber
Breaks MU
eifif Mark
By GEORGE PAYN1CH
Sports Editor ,
Let's catch up on the Nebraska
sporting news of the past few
Weeks.
First of all if the Cornhusker
eagers keep up their present pace
a .
11 ' m in losing Dan
I games they
wm maRe our
prediction of a
second or
third spot in
the conference
race way off
the track.
THE HUSK-
ERS dropped
Co)irtfynclanStrf lve of slx
Weber g"es,0?er
the h o 1 1 d a y
period with the Oregon road trip
being disastrous with three
straight losses.
Coach Harry Good made sport
ing news, at least through the
midwest when he (1) predicted
Oregon State as the NCAA 1954
champion and (2), stated he
would recommend to the NCAA
rules committee that baskets be
raised two feet to a 12 foot
height
DON WEBER, forward from
Esterville, la., deserves a round
ef applause for breaking the
Cornhusker scoring mark as he
Tacked up 30 points against
K-State. His performance is
noteworthy because it was
achieved against top-flight op
position and not against a South
Dakota type foe.
It may be nothing; at all, but
we note as strange the fact that
the athletic board has not an
nounced contract renewals on as
sistant grid Coaches. Usually the
Job has been attended to by this
late date and we hear that if
certain contracts aren't renewed
by Feb. 1, we may see some
rhangres in the grid coaching staff
as far as assistant coaches are
concerned.
There is a strange calm feir
over the athletic department
these days, they call it the dol
drums in Geography 52, and
usually following such a situation
all heck breaks loose.
THE PICKING of a successor
to Potsy Clark as athletic di
rector is liable to take somt time
if a successor doesn't come from
within the department itself.
Congratulations are to be ex
tended to Al Partin and his
grapplers. The undefeated Corn
husker wrestling team has beaten
South Dakota State and Grin
nell College. The. Huskers Jiext
meet Is January 16th.
WHILE WE'RE in the process
of handing out laurels we should
definitely include Ted Connor
w ho starred as a West lineman in
the Shrine game at San Fran
cisco, and John Bordogna who
put on quite a defensive show
for the South in the North-South
game at Miami Christmas night.
The South by the way seems to
be the grid power these days. It
seems that the center of football
power is shifting from the Mid
west to the South and Southwest.
Six Huskcr Heads
To NCAA Affair
Six members of the athletic
staff at the University of Ne
braska will be attending the
NCAA meetings in Cincinnati
this week. The delegation is
headed by Coach Bill Glassford
who is expected to fly directly
to the Ohio city from Miami.
John BenQey, publicity head;
Mike Mulligan, line coach; Bob
Davis, backfield mentor; Ray
Prochaska, end coach and Bob
Faris, freshmen tutor have al
ready left for the annual meetr
lngs.
It is possible that Potsy Clark,
who resigned as athletic direc
tor three weeks ago, may also
attend the conference.

gins shaping up recommenda
tions to be submitted to the

Brighter .1954 Ahead?
No NU Titles In 1953
As Sooners, KU Shine
With the 1953 seasons behind
them, Nebraska's athletic squads
are looking ahead for brighter
horizons.
Although competing in all oi
the 10 major and minor sports
which the Big Seven sanctions,
Husker squads were able to pull
not even one title from the hat.
MONOPOLISTS ON titles
during 1953 were Oklahoma and
Kansas. The Sooners won foot
ball, baseball, wrestling and
swimming, and the Jayhawkers
picked up blue ribbons in bas
ketball, indoor track, outdoor
track and cross country.
Colorado won the tennis
crown and Iowa State took golf
honors.
Nebraska's closest title effort
was by Coach Tony Sharpe's
Husker baseball - 6quad, which
took second place in the confer
ence, just .008 behind champion
Oklahoma. ;
COACH JAKE Geier's NU
gymnastics squad, rated as one
of the top college gym outfits in
the nation, defeated all confer
ence competition, but the sport
is not included in conference
title competition.
