FRIDAY, FERRUARY 15, 1935. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN THREE E I JAYHAWKS TO COLISEUM FOR TUSSLE TONIGHT League Leaders Out After Second Triumph Over Nebraska. HUSKERS AIM AT UPSET Widman to Start at Forward In Place of Whitaker For Scarlet. Kansas unlv ersity's Jayhawk basketball aggregation whirls into Lincoln tonight on wings fashion ed from the unquestioned leader ship in the Big Six conference Kansas, the pride of the Big Six when ore is speaking of the rela tive merit of first-place conference teams throughout the country; but Kansas, the most to-be-feared team in the Big Six when one's own team must be her opponent, will tangle with Nebraska's Corn huskers tonight on the coliseum maples. But it is not with any uneasy apprehension at facing the leader of the league, at lacing tne pnae of the conference, that Nebraska goes up against the Jayhawks at 8 o'clock this evening. It is with the most to-be-feared team in the Big Six that Nebraska plays a bas ketball game tonight. And, sacri legious as the statement seems, Nebraska's cellar-guarding hoop sters are not losing any sleep or tearine out any hair in anticipa tion over the probable outcome of the game between the first-place and last-place teams in the Big Six. This Kansas Team. There is an almost university old tradition in Kansas-land which would make as much, or more, of a cataclysm at the University of Kansas it the championship of the Big Six basketball race did not come home yearly to the fold of the Jayhawks as when Nebraska lost the Big Six football title to Kansas State last Thanksgiving. It is recognized throughout the conference realm that Kansas yearly puts forth almost an un beatable cage combination and that Kansas will take the cham pionship in the maple sport. In addition to this influential, yea, almost insuperable, force of tradition, Kansas university has a nearly veteran aggregation. There is not a man on Coach Phog Al len's starting quintet who is less than six feet above terra firma; in fact. Coach Allen's son is the only man on the entire Jayhawk com bination who is under the six foot altitude. Kansas has a passing at tack which no Big Six team has ever been able to equal, much less excel. Kansas teams simply do not make bad passes. Jays Have What It Takes.

Add Dr. F. C. Allen himself, and you have the key to the almost endless Jayhawk string of Big Six cage victories. Coach Phog Allen, the first paid basketball coach in America, is the main cog in the drive wheel system which has more conference championship scalps under lis belt than all the rest of the Big Six put together. But coach Harold Browne s Ne braska cagesters have not allow ed this impressive array of maple laurels to frighten them from a firm-founded determination to put forth their best this evening when the two teams clash. Nebraska does not have a team like Coach Allen's, Nebraska does not have a basketball tradition like the one in Lawrence, and Nebraska knows it. Nevertheless, the Huskers have not allowed the knowledge to de tract them from the best basket ball they can produce. Whether the Huskers rest in first or last position, whether they have a tra dition or not is immaterial; the outstanding fact to observe is that they have always done their best. Coach Browne's starting combi nation against the Kansasns will place Harry Sorensen in the pivot position, Harvey Widman and Bud Leacox at the forward berths, with Bud Parsons and George Wahl quist holding down the guard jooa INGEBORO OESBERLIN, ON HOLIDAY TRIP IN SOUTH SPENDS CHRISTMAS AT BEACH OF SAVANNAH: SANTA BRINGS OVER ALLS.

SCARLET NUBBINS HAVE GALA TIME; Husker 4B' Snows Under Junior Collegians 43-21 for One-Sided Win. Coach Wilbur Knight's Nebras ka "B" team laid 11 on thick and heavy Thursday night, so thick and so heavy in fact that a Mc Cook Junior college basketball team didn't have time to collect its wits, dignity, or, what was much more important, a few shots at the basket, and the Husker seconds won 43 to 20 oh the maples of their perpetual habitat, the Ag college. In doing so, the "B" basketeers took a 2 to 1 lead in their series with the McCook lads. The two teams had split two previous en counters, the Juniors winning at home, and the "B" triumphing on their own stamping grounds. Some Fun, Eh Kid? The Knightmen had one grand time of it Thursday. Ten men were on the floor at various times for the glory of the Nubbins, and each of the ten managed to put at least one free throw into the scoring column. And all but one slipped the ball thru the netting at least once, and that one would have if the hand had only followed the eye that is, if the ball had gone where the thrower was looking, and also if he had had just a lit tle more playing time in which to strut his stuff. But all in all , it was one big time for the Nebraskans. and an evening of futile attempts on the part of McCook Junior college to stem the steady stream of baskets raining from the hands of Husker sharpshooters. There was time, if they had so desired, for the Ne braskans to take leave of absence from their basketball chores and play a game of tit-tat-too, or Simon says thumbs up. but in the first place not any of the lads in Scarlet livery carried writing im plements in his basketball togs, and in the second, well, throwing the basketball around the floor was much more diverting and much more enjoyable sport. Oh, Yes, It's a Win. From the opening whistle. Wil bur Knight leaned back in his chair with a self-satisfied, com placent smile, like the cat who knows the canary is there and that she can't just miss. For his lads were performing sleight of hand tricks with the pill that had the McCook Collegians looking every place but on the ceiling for the basketball. Yet when it did appear.

After that well, 21 to 7 at lunchtime speaks for itself. Hard on Ref, This Basketball. Even the referee was beginning to have a hard time stifling yawns, and the college lads who did attend were chatting amiably with the bored but fairer sex in the audi ence when a pistol shot announced the end of the flip-'em-in game. The first half was nothing more or less than a Nebraska basket, a tip-off ,and another Nebraska bas ket. Of course. McCook did a little pot-shooting of her own which grabbed off 7 points as against the Scai lot 21. With the start of the second half, however, the tussle evened up somewhat. McCook Junior col lege must have taken a dose of powerful potion, for she scored thirteen points, but in the interim Wilbur Knight's playboys buck eted twenty-two. And so it ended.

Hopt was next with five, while Captain Schick and Gotfred son garnered four each. Gage and Smith led the McCook scoring, and did most of what de fensive work was done by their quintet. Gage got seven points and Smith six. Summaries. Nebraska B Bel ry I . . . . .Ifirohsen f Mr'linms. f H..I).

Conch Charlie Miller's Husk er tumbling ernflsmcn will get their first taste of competition this season when they journey to Iowa City FriiliTy Feb. 22. The squad, a portion of which dis played a very acceptable sample of their wares to Nebraskans be tween the halves of the Denver Nebraska basketball game recent ly, will compete in their first meet of the current term on that date in a triangular contest with the Universities of Iowa and Illinois. The fray will open not only the 1935 tumbling season for the Huskers but also the second year of intercollegiate competition at Nebraska. The schedule last year was the first intercollegiate one arranged for the Scarlet gym nasts, and as a result of a lack of funds the sale was very limited. This year, however, the athletic board has been more generous in its allotment to the tumblers and Coach Miller has been able to draw up a most pretentious program. In addition to the tri meet with Iowa and Illinois, and the national A. A. U. and N. C. A. A. meets, the Nebraska tumbling tutor has ar ranged tilts with the Universities of Colarod and Missouri. Colorado State Teachers college and Colo rado Agricultural college The five-man team which Coach Miller plans to enter in the meet at Iowa City will be constructed mainly around four veterans. The stalwarts are Kdward Reynolds, all-university champ in 1934-35; Floyd Herman, all-university win ner in 1933-34, Jack Green, univer sity flying ring champ; and Ed ward Bignell, weathered tumbler. Richard Kelley, the other member of the quintet, although slightly less advanced may be counted upon to bring in his share of the honors. The five events which will count toward scoring in the Iowa City fray are the flying rings, tumbling, parallel bars, horizontal bars, and the side horse.

Colisei: i Pool Meet Opens Swimming Season at Three O'clock. DOPE FAVORS NEBRASKA Iowa 8tate will formally usher swimming into the Husker sport light this afternoon when the Cy clone splashers meet Coach Jack Minors tank squad at 3 o'clock in the coliseum pool. For four years Nebraskans have ruefully and resentfully eyed the swimming data which proclaims that with the expeption of the tie GASOLINE U. f. Motors Rsgular 12 HOLM'S IS-9 14th at W ILIN TEAM in 1932 the Huskers nave emerged from the little end of the horn in every meeting of the two teams during that time. But this after noon for the first time favors of the dope bucket, if such there be, seem to hang a trifle more heavily on the Nebraska side of the fence. At any rate, according to Jack Minor, former Husker letterman and now varsity swimming mentor, the fray promises to be one of the most hotly contested dual meets on the Scarlet tank schedule. Iowa State, Big Six champions last year, holds four of the conference event records, having chalked up the best times of the league in the 100 yard free style, 200 yard breast stroke, 50 yard back stroke, and the 300 yard medley relay. But the Scarlet mermen have bettered 5 of the 9 conference records in practice thus far this season. "Those who attend the meet Fri day afternoon may expect to see 5 of the 9 conference records smashed," Minor stated Thursday. The Nebraska team will consist of Glyndon Lynde, Jim Pixley, Keith Schroeder, Jack Gavin, Ben Rimmerman, and Herb Weston, free stylers; Reed Smith, Bob Gib bons, breast strokers; Harry Kuk lin, Jack Gavin, back strokers; Harry Kuklin, Ben Rimmerman, divers. 0URY ANNOUNCES PROMOTIONS FOR CADET REGIMENT (Continued from Page 1. 1 Forest Milham, Clarence Meyers, Clarence Olson, Albert Pearl, Car roll Quinton, G radon Rathbun, James Rotchloss, Robert Spoon- hour, Clarence Thrasher. allace Vance, and Vern Williams com plete the list.

'Can Do Better' Oklahoman Says, After Cracking Big Six Mark. NORMAN, Feb. 14. Rocketing' a quarter of a mile thru the water in 5 minutes 11.8 seconds in prac tice Monduy, Jack Davis, Okla homa swimmer, whs dissatisfied as he relaxed at the finish mark, panting to recover his breath. Dis satisfied in spite ol the fact he d unofficially broken his "Big Six" 440 yard free stylo record by 33 seconds, approximately two lengths of the pool. For Jack has had to learn to swim all over again and he's not nearly as smooth as he wants to be. "I'm learning a new stroke and a new turn this season," explains the Sooner swimmer. "Up at the national last year a fellow named Jack Medica, of Washington, swam the 440 in 4:46.6, a new world's record. Altho I swam fast er than I ever had in my life, Med ica beat me more than a length of the pool. He had beautiful form, using a stroke I'd never seen bo fore, the Japanese stroke. My American crawl looked like a high schooler's in comparison. "After I was eliminated, I was determined to learn all I coud about that new stroke. I talked to Medica and he gave me some swell pointers. I talked to Jimmy Christy, the Michigan captain, and he showed me all he knew. I talked to everybody until I guess 1 was the champion pest of the meet, but I came away from there with the book on that new stroke. "Last October I started working on it. Bruce Drake, physical educa tion instructor, helps me a lot. We are finding the new stroke has very little waste motion and goes good with my six beat kick. We're also working on a new turn that gives me a longer pushoff and an extra breath without sacrificing speed." Learning the new stroke is just one of Davis' problems. Oklahoma has no men's pool so Jack has been hard put to find a place to swim. Last year he practiced in a pond north of Norman. Last November, hungry for a swim, he dove into the new mirrored reflection pool located north of the new brick time clock on Owen field but a heartless lanscape gardner ran him out a minute later. Now Jack is permitted to use the women's pool during the noon hour, just when everybody else is eating a nice warm lunch. Typewriters All makes for rental. Special rate to students for long term.
