This year's Big Seven Basket
ball race might well turn into a
one team battle as Kansas, led by
Wilt Cfcsmberlain and Maurice
King figure to take everything in
cluding the National Champion
chip. Several promising freshmen be
tides Chamberlain figure to help
considerably. Ron LonesM should
be a starter as he is said to be
the finest all-around freshman in
Kansas history. Joe Ensley, Bob
Billings, Monte Johnson, Dick
Keith, Larry Kefley, Lynn Kindred
and Gary Thompson are also be
ing counted upon by Harp.
Here at home, Jerry Bush and
crew are tackling one of the tough
est schedules in our history. Back
to help is all-Big Beven forward
Rex Ekwall who is considered one
of the outstanding players in our
history. The two other senior let
termen are Dudley Doebele and
Bill Wells.
Five junior lettermen will be
back for their second year of ac
tion. These include Jim Arwood,
Jim Kubacki, Lyle Kannen, Gary
Reimers and Don Smidt. AH five
saw considerable action last year
and are being counted very heavily
upon by Bush. Biggest hopes among
the newcomers include Bob Finn,
Bob Harry, Terry Howard, Ron
Parsons, George Swank and Larry
White. Charles McAfee is back
from a tour of service duty and
figures to aid the team.
Kansas State appears ready to
defend their title and in case any
thing happens to Kansas will prob
ably do so. Their big gun is Jack
Parr, 6-9 center who was a sen
sational sophomore last season. He
averaged 17.4 points and 14 re
bounds a game and for his all
around play, be was named to the
all Big Seven team.
Eight other letter winners will
return to give Coach Tex Winter
another title contender. These in
clude one senior in Eddie Wal
lace who was named to the NCAA
regional all star team last year,
and six juniors, who include Hay
den Abbott, Roy DeWitz, Larry

Starting Five
Jerry Bush, coach of the Uni- ers. From left to right they in- Jim KubacH. This team wiH Jes in University history this
versity basketball team, gives elude Ron Parsons, Don Smidt, face one of the toughest ached- aeason.
a few pointers to his five start- Jerry Reimers, Bex EkwaH and
Experience Pys Off:
Frosh Cagers Nearly Upend Varsify;
Yearly Rally Falls Short 65-62
Fischer, Bog Jedwabny, Dean
Richards. Bob Boozer, a sopho
more from Omaha, Neb., is hold
ing down a starting role and should
be a big factor in the title hopes
of Winter.
Iowa State shouldn't be counted
out by any means as Coach Bill
Straimigan has five experienced let
termen back from the team which
won the Big-Seven tournament at
Iansas City and finished in a sec
ond place tie in the Conference
race. Heading the returnees is Ail
American and all-Big Seven Guard
Gary Thompson considered to be
the greatest player in Cyclone his
tory.
Helping him win be Chuck Vogt
another outstanding player back
from last year, John Crwawford, D
Medsker, and Lyle Frahm. Two
outstanding sophomores who fig
ure to start are Fred Boshela and
Ron Baukol, rated as another Gary
Thompson. Other squad members
include Jack Peterson, Larry
Swanson, Dick Farwell, Al Lowery,
Gene Gronau, John Krocheshi and
Dave Day.
Missouri will probably face tough
sledding this winter as the loss of
Norm Stewert is too much for any
team to lose. Coach Wilber Stall
cup besides losing Stewert does not
have an experienced big man un
der Ex boards. Kej man for the
Tigers will be Lionel Smith- 6-2
guard who played some outstand
ing ball last year teaming up with
Stewert. Other men figuring in
Stallcup's plans include John Step
hens, Rodger Egelhoff, Bill Ross,
and Sophomores Sonny Siebert and
Chuck Duren.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma figures to have an
other bad year as their main hope
Leroy Bacher transferred to Idaho
State. Bacher was an all-Big Seven
choice last year and was being
counted upon to be the mainstay of
a green Sooner team. Going along
with Bacher was James Rodgers, a
promising sophomore guard. Re
turning will be Joe King all Big-
Seven forward who will be counted
upon to bold the team together
and Ed Abbey, Joe Jones, Arthur
Kell and Max Claiborne.
Promising sophomores include
Richard Anderson Bill Ashcraft,
Dick Bass, Don Eittle, Don Schwall
Monte Simpson and Bob Stoermer.
Colorad
Colorado appears to be the lead
ing condidate for the cellar as they
have just five returning lettermen
back and only one starter.
The one starter is Bob Helzer'a
senior guard. The other returning
reserve lettermen are Jim OcHe
and Dick Nicholson forwards Jim
Jochems, center, and Dave Mow
bray guard.
Outstanding among the sopho
mores is Gerry Schroeder who is
pressing Mowbray at the guard
position. One observation has been
made of this Colorado squad. If
they develop as fast as the gray
hairs are popping through coach
Sox Walseth's head, they will have
a pretty fair season.

By BOB MARTEL
Staff Sports Writer
Coach Tony Sharpe's University
of Nebraska freshmen squad, play
ing a sparkling second half, came
very close to upsetting the favored
yarsity quintet in a game style
scrimmage last night.
Playing before a near capacity
crowd, the yearlings gave Jerry
Bush's crea a run for their money
before bowing 65-62.

Paced br the fine Bhootine of
Bon Smidt and Bill Wells the var
sity led at halftone 36-20.
It was after intermission that
the crowd began to get excited.
First year men Willie Fitzeerald.
Hersehell Turner, Bob Mayo and
BiH Lundholm suddenly got hot
and the .cords began to burn.
Little by little the mooring gap
shrank until finally in the closing
itconds, the varsity found itself
holding a aught l-60 lead. Jim
Kubacki hit with long set shot
to increase the edge to 63-60, but
FitzEerald stole the bail and sped
down the court aH by himself to
put the freshmen back to within
one point of the varsity.
Buah then ordered his squad to
begin freezing the hall and in the
next few tension packed minutes
Captain Rex Ekwall was fouled by
an over excited yearling and pro
ceeded to dump in two free throws
to end the scoring.
The varaity, although over
shadowed by the great showing
of the freshman team, played a fine
game. Although outrebounded on
their oifensive backboard, they
handled the haU well and were
very cool in the clutch.
Ekwall who was guarded very
closely by Fitzgerald, teamed
with Kubacki and Smidt to provide
the scoring punch in the second
half. Smidt finished the evening
with 15 points while Ekwall and
Kubacki each tallied 1L
Gary Reimers and Dudley Doe
bele handled the ball very smooth
ly and Wells looked very good
both offensively and defensively
for the Huskers.
The freshmen were paced by
mayo, Fitzgerald and Turner.
Mayo, a '8" pivot man from
Brooklyn, Uew York led aH scorers
with 21 point while Fitzgerald and
Turner had 11 and 10 points re
spectively. Lundholid and Wayne Hester
worked the baH very nicely and
both handled their share of the
scoring. Lundholm jumped for 12
points while Hester had eight...
The Comhusker varsity squad
will open its regular season in
Los Angeles on Friday and at
xtrday when they tangle with the
UCLA Bruins in a pair of con
tests. Coach Bueh will begin his home
season when he sends his team
against the Iowa Hawkeyes on
Monday evening.

Sigma Phi Epsilon is the new
All-University intramural football
champion. They won the title with
a hard fought 19-12 win over the
Dental College last Wednesday.
This was the first All-University
title for the Eps since their 1950
team pulled the trick.
The Sig Eps won 9 straight
games during the 1956 campaign.
They went through the tough "A"
Fraternity League unbeaten, a feat
seldom accomplished. The only
qlose games on the Ep schedule
was a tight squeeze past the Phi
Psic 60 and the win over the
Dents.
In Wednesday's game, Gene
Souponchick again provided the
spark for the Eps. He passed for
two touchdowns and ran for the
other. One of his passes was to
Rich Mason. Mason has caught
seven touchdown passes during
the three play-off games. The other
TD pass was to Don Appleby. Soup
ran for the Sig Eps other touch
down.
Equally brilliant was the Dent's
Phil Eyen. He passed for tw
touchdowns and kept the Ep de
fense on their toes.
The Eps scored a touchdown and
extra point in the first quarter to
lead at the quarter 7-0. But, the
Dents came right back and scored
6 points on a touchdown pass from
Eyen. The half ended 7-6 Sig Eps.
Both the Eps and the Dents added
a touchdown in the third period,
but the Sig Eps iced the game
with a TD in the fourth quarter.
Wednesday's game produced
severla individual stand-outs. Phil
Eyen turned in a fine game at
his tailback spot for the Dents.
He was ably assisted by Joe Hou
fek. For the Eps, Russ Nielson,
Rick Mason, and Don Appleby
turned in some fine defensive
work. Offensively it was little
"Soup" Souponchick all the way.
