Reimers Leads Huskers: '
Schwall Scores 23 In Sooner Win
Huskers Defeated In Bia 7 Battle
The Oklahoma Sooners held Ne
braska scoreless for almost the
final three minutes of play last
night to squeeze out a 55-53 Big
Seven basketball win. In winning,
the Sooners moved within a half
game of a sixth place tie with the
Cornhuskers.
Don Schwall, 6-5 sophomore
whiz, led the Sooners with , 23
points, 13 of which came in the
first half as the winners gained
a 23-24 intermission lead.
The game was close in the open
ing minutes of play with Nebras
ka holding a slight lead. Then the
Bushmen bit their usual slump

and Oklahoma scored seven
straight points to take 20-15 lead.
In the second half Oklahoma
started as if they were going to
turn the game into a rout. Schwall
hit a field goal and two free throws
and the margin was 33-24 before
Ron Parsons started to hit for Nebraska.
Parsons hit five field goals-
while Don Smidt and Rex Ekwall
each scored four points in closing
the margin to one point 42-43 with
about ten minutes remaining. Then
Gary Reimers took over and hit a
jump shot from the keyhole to
send the visitors into a one point
lead.
The remainder of the contest
saw both teams in the lead sev
eral times. Reimers and Parsons
kept Nebraska close while Schwall
and Joe King lead the Sooners
Nebraska pressed 53-54 following
Reimers basket but couldn't score
again. The Huskers had their last
chance when they had the ball out
of bounds with :44 remaining in
the contest. They tried to get a
good shot but could not get open
until Reimers shot and missed
with about 20 seconds to play. He
then fouled Gene Hudson and. that
was the contest. Hudson hit one
of the two free throws but Nebras
ka couldn't get possession.
Reimers led the Nebraska scor
ing with 16 points while Parsons
and Ekwall had 14 and 12 respectively.
Thompson Second:
Wilt Paces Scorers;
Boozer, Parr Move Up
Jack Parr and Bob Boozer are
asserting themselves strongly in
the race for individual scoring hon
ors, Big Seven Conference basket
ball statistics show today.
' Parr, 6-9, moved into third place
with an eight-game average of
18.6. Boozer, 6-7 sophomore, edged
into fourth with 18.5. Boozer has
been especially strong alt the free
throw line, sinking 66 and missing
only 22 for a percentage of .750.
Still in the lead is Wilt Chamber
lain of Kansas, who also is duel
ing for national honors. In confer
ence games only, the 7-foot Jay
hawker has an average of 22,5
in eight outings. Last week's ac
tion cost him three-tenths of a
point. -

The Hot Corner
By BOB WIRZ
Staff Sports Writer
Last week the New York Yankees and Kansas City Athletics
shocked the rest of the American League with their big player trade.
The trade saw little Bobby Shantz, Art Dittmar, and Wayne Belardi
going'to the world champions and, in return, the A's received pitchers
Rip Coleman, Micky McDermott, and Tommy Morgan along .with
infielders Mike Graff and Billy Hunter and outfielders Irv Noren. Each
team still has to name one more player in the deal by June 15. Ori
ginally Cletus Boyer was in on the deal until mid-June.
American league fans already are worried that the- trade was
strictly to the Yankees benefit. Dittmar, who was the key to the
trade, won 12 last season for the lowly A's and lost 22. He figured to
become one of Casey Stengel's regular starting hurlers.
Shantz also'could help the bombers if he returns to top form. The
former Lincolnite, wants to be a starter, but he may end up in the
bull pen. Shantz says that his arm feels good and he believes the larger
Yankee park also will help his pitching.
Belardi will probably end up in the minors. He is the former under
study to Gil Hodges at Brooklyn. Belardi was traded a few years ago
to Detroit and since then has had very little luck.
On the other hand the A's should be helped greatly with the three
hurlers and Hunter. Coleman never had too much of a chance with the
Yanks and could have a real fine year. McDermott didn't help the
Yankees but should be a stopper for Lou Boudreau. McDermott also
will be a help with his pinch hitting ability. Morgan will bolster the
relief crew. -
Young Hunter will probably replace Joe DeMaestri at short for
KC. This will be an improvement both at bat and in the field. Many
baseball men feel Hunter could develop into one of the league's better
men. There was no room for him playing behind Gil McDougald.
Noren, who was injured much of last season, still hasn't signed
his 1957 contract and announced last week that he may give up
baseball if he can't get as muqh money as he received last year.
Graff was on the Denver roster and stands only an outside chance
of sticking with the Athletics.
From here it looks like no matter who benefits from the trade the
Yankees will probably end up on top again this year. However, the
A's should improve their standing of last season.
place with an even 20 average.
Thompson has played in nine
games.
Missouri and Joe King of Okla
homa, third and fourth respectively
last week, dropped to sixth and
seventh. Smith has 17.6 and King
16.4. Bill Ross of Missouri had
the fifth best average, an 18.2, up
two-tenths from a week ago.
Cornhuskers, Rex Ekwall and
Gary Reimers are ninth and tenth
respectively in total points. Ek
wall is carrying a 14.1 average
per game totaling 113 points while
Reimers has a 14.0 average and
112 markers. These statistics are
based on eight conference games
As teams, Kansas State and Kan
sas are setting the league scoring
pace. The Jayhawks are averaging
68.8 a game, 13 more than their
opponents. The Wildcats are scoring
at a 68.6 clip, 13.8 points more
than their fores. These two teams
appear to be gaining momentum
as they head for their March 6
meeting at Manhattan.
The closeness of the KU-KS riv
alry can be pointed up in this
manner: Kansas has scored six
more goals from the field than
the Wildcats have, and Kansas
State has eleven more free throws
than the Jayhawks.
Kansas has increased its free,
throw percentage from .594 to .623
Kasas State from .88 to .699.
The Wildcats thus replace Missouri
as the hottest free-throwing team
in the league. The Tigers slipped
from ,710 at the charity line to
.685.
Other team scoring averages:
Iowa State 61.4 and Missouri 66.2
in nine games; Colorado 62.6, Ne
braska 59.6, and Oklahoma 57.0 in
eight games.
Kansas has a non-conference
game Thursday with Oklahoma
A & M at Stillwater. League ac
tion Saturday night finds Iowa
State at Kansas State, Nebraska
at Kansas, and Colorado at Missouri.

By STAN WIDMAN
Staff Sports writer
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska
have been placed in the favorite
roles for the Big Seven Indoor
Track Meet to be held in Kansas
City this Friday and Saturday.
The Cornhuskers will place their
main hopes in the flying feet of
Keith Gardner, winner of twelve
races this season. His victories in
the 60 yd. high and low hurdles
and the 60 yd. dash have produced
several meet records and has cast
him as the man to beat in these
races. He is expected to get all
the trouble he can handle from
Missouri's John Mclntyre who ran
the high hurdle event in :7.4
against Kansas, and Gene O'Con
nor last years Big Seven champion
from Kansas State. Henry Wiebe,
Missouri's top dash man will be
pushing Gardner in the 60 yd.
dash.
Bill Hawkins stands a good
chance of scoring high in the broad
jump. His top effort this season
compares very favorably with the
rest of the conference broad jump
ers.
Bob Elwood, who has won the
mile twice and two mile four
times, should provide the Huskers
with more needed points.
Favored along with Elwood are
Tom Rodda, Kansas State miler,
Pete Orr and Jim Sanders of Mis
souri and Dick Dudley of Okla
homa. Jan Howell of Kansas has
the best time in the mile to date,
4:10.2.
Another Husker who should get
into the scoring act is Ken Pollard,
thirteen foot pole vaulter. Kansas
University's Dave Tarns is favored
in the event having gone over 14
feet this year, in a meet against
Chicago.
Dale Knotek and Larry Gaus-
man are also expected to score
in the meet. Both have gone over
6.4" ia the high jump this year.
Larry Frisbie and Bob Cannon,
both of Kansas U. are expected
to give them trouble as both have
gone over 6'6" in dual compe
tition this season.
Kansas, another favorite, will re
lay on such men as Al Oerter and :
Lowell Janzen. Oerter who placed
first at the Olympics in the discus
will be the overwhelming favorite.
He has gone over, 54 feet several
times. Janzen has done the 850 .
in under 1:57 and will he the fa
vorite in that event.
Missouri's Pete Orr will be the
favorite in the 440. He hasnt
lost in this distance this year and
was last year's champion. He also .,
is a crack miler.
