Hustle Pays Off
For Soph Kubaci
Husker basketball fans who
viewed last Saturday's televised
innaugural of the Nebraska cage
squad undoubtably need no intro
duction to Jim Kubaci, 19 year
ola sophomore guard from Toledo,
Ohio.
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

his competition also earned him
many honors throughout the state.
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.

THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND IT-Luckies taste
better. And there's no getting around that thing in
the Droodle at left, either the Droodle's titled:
Lucky smoker with bum seat at football game. Poor
guy is really up against it. But he's got a swell point
of view on smoking he smokes Luckies for better
taste. Luckies taste better because they're made
of fine tobacco that's TOASTED to taste better.
Chances are our friend in Section 28 is thinking,
"This is the best-tasting cigarette I ever smoked!"
