Nebraska's basketball team
will attempt to snap a four
game losing streak when they
go against the Kansas Jay
hawkers at Lawrence Satur
day night. The Huskers meet
Colorado in Lincoln Monday
night. This game will follow a
preliminary in which the Ne
braska freshmen meet the
freshman-sophomore team of
Nebraska State of Peru.
Starting times are 6 p.m.
for the prelim, 8:05 for the
varsity.
The Nebraskans are work
ing this week to get more fire
power from a team that has
been leaning too heavily upon
Al Maxey and Herschell Tur
ner. Although the Huskers out
scored the Jayhawks in the
second half they were never
able to pick up the slack lost
in a first half that found them
floundering against the Mt.

day night. Turner, who had

times, but last week could
manage only 13-0. In fact he
finished third to Jim Krait,
Husker sophomore, who went
13-4 for second place.
Against Colorado and Okla
homa last weekend, Pollard S

won't be preliminaries and
Pollard wiii be rested.
Graham Amazing
Graham's history is an
amazing one. As a junior in
1956 the 6-4 Tulsan dead
locked Occidental's Bob Gut
owski, now the world record
holder, at 14-8 for the NCAA
title. That was a new OSU
record. Two weeks later he
went 14-8 to tie for third
in the Final Olympic trials
at Los Angeles. However, he
had cleared every height on
his first vault until missing
thrice at H-VM, and thereby
earned the third U.S. spot on
least number of misses.
Soon after, he broke an an
kle in a warmup meet. He
voluntarily gave up his place
to George Mattos, although
being Included on the trip to
Melbourne. Thus, he is the
Big Eight's only holdover
Olympian, even though be did
not compete in the World
Games.
He waived the 1957 season
to allow the injury to mend,
and came back last year.
While warming up for his
first Indoor start at Kansas
State he incurred a broken
wrist. No competition a 1 1
year. Since, he has had the
fracture operated and has
managed 13-0 in practice.
Dooley
Dooley, meanwhile, came,
along last year as a sopho
more to scale 14-9 for a new
OSU and Big Eight record at
Columbia. Only UCLA's
George Roubanis went high
er last year. Dooley tied for
fifth in the NCAA at 14,0,
not a top performance for
him. No leaper in Big Eight
history ever has gone high
er than the Braman Oklaho
ma junior save Don Cooper,
Nebraska's 15-footer.
