The Chemists jumped to a lead In the first period, 14 to 11, but lost it again before halftime. At in termission the Phi Delts were lead ing by a slim, 23-22 margin. In the second half the Phi Delts tarted moving away and led by seven points, 39 to 32, at the end of the third quarter. Then the Inde pendent champions took command and behind the torrid shooting of Dave Pederson and Bob Prokop, soon cut the margin down. They surged into the lead In the final two minutes to win. The big difference in the contest was at the free throw line where the Phi Delts hit 11 of 18 while the Chemists were sizzling with 20 successful attempts in 23 tries. Pe derson hit 14 of 15.

From The Sports Desk Kreit's Horner State tourney notes Boy's Town, the darkhorse of the Class AA bracket of the Nebraska High School basketball tournament, came through in flying colors Sat urday night to down the home town favorite, Northeast. The Cow boys finished the year with a 14-4 record and earned first place in the final poll of the state's tcp ten. Jerry Collier, the 6-1 Fall City center, was in my opinion one of the finest players in the tourney. The senior pivot man was Fall City's main factor in copping the Class A crown. Another player that looks like a good Husker prospect is Geneva's Larry Fiedler. The big center turned in a 27-point outburst against Clarkson to lead his team to the trophy throne in the C bracket. He is just a junior. He outscored the tourneys leading scorer, Bob Moore of Clarkson, Leading their respective division in scoring were, Class AA, Rudy Stoehr of Northeast 34 points; Class A, Jerry Collier of Falls City 51 points; Class B, Ken Dahl of Wayne 40 points; Class C Bob Moore of Clarkson 52; Class D, John Hoagland of Brady 42 points; Class E, Paul Collison of Farwell, 39 points. Presentations . , Two awards were presented to Nebraska basketball players at the halftime of the Class AA finals. Rex Ekwall, the Comhuskers lead ing scorer, won the teams Most Valuable Player award. He was presented with a set of sterling silver. Duane "Whftey" Buel, the senior By MAX KREITMAN Sports Editor co-captain, won the Joe T. Brown award, symbolic of top sportsman ship. His award was given on the basis of his comeback after an in jury kept him out of action for the first half of the current year. My error ... I mentioned in my last column that Chadron Prep was favored to cop the Class B title. I w a s in formed by some collegues of the professional ranks that it was Chad ron High not Prep that was entered in the tourney. To make the situation more em- barrcsing, two other schools are in Chadron, one a Parochial school and one a college. The only con solation of the whole situation was that Chadron High was beaten in the first round and my prediction fell by the wayside. traveling man . . Jerry Bush, head basketball coach, is on the way over the neigh boring states in search for talent for future Husker quintets. This week Bush will be at the capital of the prep cage sports, Indiana. He then will visit state tourneys at Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and New York. Who knows, from the melting pots of these states could come the future members of the Big 7 champs, Nebraska. Wishful think ing, huh . . The lighter side . . . In all, there will be six home contests next year. They will in clude South Dakota U, Iowa State, Kansas State, Indiana, Missouri and Bayior.

Nebraska finished sixth with a three won nine lost record, and compiled a 7-16 mark on the entire season.

The first one was to Missouri, 88-80 and then to Iowa State, 94-74 to leave those two teams tied for second and third n conference standings with iden- cal 8-4 records.

At The Crack Of The Bat: Husker Baseball Cretv Travels South To Oppose Tulsa In Season Opener At The Big 7 Meet: Cotter Paces Mermen To Third Place Spot By SHERMAN NEFSKY Nebraskan Sports Reporter Nebraska's swimming team led by Gene Cotter, took third place in the Big Seven conference swim ming meet. Cotter, a junior, was the only winner on the Husker squad. He emerged as champion in the one meter diving after nosing out Dale Waffmuth of Iowa State, 439.9 to 432.8. Oklahoma led by their captain Peter Duncan and ace backstrok er Lin Meiering fought off Iowa State's challenge to win their o ond straight conference champion ship. New conference records were set in all but one event. One of the most outstanding performances was put on by Jeff Farrell of Okla homa when he swam the 100 yard freestyle in a record time of :51J, bettering the previous record of :52.0 set by Bob McKevitt of Iowa State in 1955. Only five teams entered tha mo as Missouri and Kansas S t a 1 1 don't field swimming teams. Iowa State finished second with 10J points, followed by Nebraska'! 32, Colorado 31 and Kansas 25. Sooners First: Husker Grapplers finish Last In Meet By BOB MARTEL Nebraskan Sports Reporter The Nebraska Comhuskers will open their 1956 baseball season on March 24 opposing Tulsa Univer sity at Tulsa. The Huskers will be trying to improve on a 1955 season which produced an overall record of 15 wins and five losses and a Big Seven mark of five wins and one loss. The big stick of last year's squad, third baseman Don Brown, is back for another fling. Brown led the Husker hitters last spring and is expected to bat in the cleanup position this season. Coach Tony Sharpe's pitching staff will sorely miss Fran Hoff- mier, the ace of last years mound corps, who graduated last spring. Mm Counted on to fill Hoffmeir's shoes are Willie Greenlaw, Roger Bot torf and Dick Gier, all portsiders. Greenlaw turned in a couple of fine mound performances last spring including one stint in which he whiffed seventeen opponents and looks like he might be the man to carry the load. The Husker schedule calls for 22 games this season, nine of which will be played at home. Nebraska will swing south dur ing spring vacation to oppose Tul sa at Tulsa, Houston at Houston, Rice Institute at Houston, and Bay lor at Waco. All these meetings will be two game series except the Tulsa clash which will be a one game tilt. During last year's southern swing the Huskers won five out of six contests. Brown led the team with 14 hits in 25 trips which included two home runs for a respectable .560 batting average. The Comhuskers will play host to the Offutt Air Force Base Flyers on All Sports Day April 28. The Flyers turned out a fine club last year which consisted of quite a number of minor league players. Norm Coufal, regular shortstop last seas6n covers a lot of ground and is sure-handed in the double play situation. In addition to his fine defensive play, Coufal was also a better than average sticker. Batting in the number two spot, the Husker shortstop accounted for more of his share of extra base hits. Sophomores from last year's frosh squad who could be a big help to Coach Sharpe are Frank Napp, Don Smidt, Jim Kubacki, Dick Kleiber, Gary Reimers, Rod Wolfe and pitchers Cal Johnson and Charles Ziegenbein. The Huskers will close their sea son on May 25 with a game against Iowa State at Ames. Winning five final events, the Oklahoma Sooners wrestling squad won the Big Seven grappling meet at Ames, Iowa. The victors tallied 85 points to come out on top of the second place Iowa State Cyclones, who scored 76 points. Kansas State finished third with 31 points, Colo rado fourth with 27 points, and Ne braska last with eight tallies. The one-two combination of OU and I-State is exactly the same as the way the two schools finished in the conference swimming meet. Three Huskers got as far as the semi-finals before losing. Marshall Nelson advanced to the semi's be fore being pinned by OU's Dick Delgado in the 123-pound class. In the 167-pound division, the Huskers Bob Pickett lost to the Sooner's Bill Kale. Don Brand, Nebraska's heavyweight entry lost to Gordon Roesler of OU. In the finals, Bob Lyons of Okla homa decisioned Bob Mancuso of K-State, 3-2 in the 130-pound class. In the 137-pound division, Dean Came of Iowa State beat Don Hart of Oklahoma, 10-5. The 147-pound class found Don Studebaker of OU pinning Roland Alexander of KS in the timo of 6:30. Bob Formanek of IS re peated as the 157-pound champion by decisioning Jerry Broff of Okla homa, 5-2. Iowa State's Frank Powell won the 167-pound contest by decision ing Bill Kale. The Sooners Don Hodge won the 177-pound class by pinning Gene Frank of the Cy clones in the time of 2:41. Gordon Roselor is the heavy weight winner via a decision over I-State's Don Jensen. Last year these same Sooners won the crown with the Cyclones taking second.
