Kubaci turned in such a poised exhibition against the Hawkeyes thr.t many sportswriters and fans thought he was a veteran college performer. In that Iowa game, Kubaci tallied nine points and grabbed seven rebounds, third high for the Husker s. The amazing thing about this is the fact that Kubaci stands about 5-9, nearly nine inches shorter than the entire Hawkeye lineup. This proves the ability of the Huskers to perform their rebound patterns properly and block their men out. Nebraska fans will get their fiist glimpse of Kubaci in person when the Huskers square off peainst Texas Tech tonight at 8 p.m in the coliseum. Many have followed him throughout his fresh man year when he paced the year lings in pre-game scrimmages. Kubaci comes to the University through the efforts of Coach Jerry B'!sh, who Jim believes is the best college basketball coach in the country In fact, Jim credits his biggest thrill in playing for Bush. In Toledo, where Bush coached be fore coming here last year, Jim attended as many of the home games at Toledo University as pos f ible. Jim likes all sports, with bas ketball and baseball rating the highest on the list. He has a rather outstanding record, having prep ped at Maconber high school in Toledo. While at Macomber he ALL PRICES INCLUDE NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR u.

With basketball, in addition to be ing a two year regular, he was s e 1 e c t d to the Toledo All City team his senior year and chosen the outstanding City League player at the same time. He was also named to the second team of the All-State selections. Kubaci potted over 400 points his senior year to cop the city scoring title. He also doubles in baseball and plans to take up that sport here, He won All-State honors for his second base play in high school. He's a 170 bowler and recorded the highest game score in the City League last year a 265. Jim is majoring in physical edu cation and has not yet made any plans for after graduation. As for the current cage squad, Jim states "We've got a very well balanced squad this year and we should go a long way." Practice has paid off for Ku baci who often puts in five hours a day at the maples. CHICKEN PHONE 5-2178 vj3 Free Krtf' Delivery Open Seven 115 So. Santa Says Yen better hurry!
