THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
THREE
YOU'RE
THE TOPS.
lluskera Gel
That Way After
Conquest of Mizzoti.
By Arnold Levin.
Take a gander, everybody. In
fact, take your time and stare
Nebraska's at the top of the Big
Six conference basketball race
one down and nine more of the
Dlavfellowa to surmount.
Yep, W. H. Browne's team right
now ia the lops. Kansas migm od
Ject to such an all-exclusive state
ment, but even the Jays can't deny
the Indisputable facta or the per
eentage. To do so wouldn't be logi
cal, even for Dr. F. C. "i-hog"
Allen, who sometimes is very il
logical about his basketball team.
H Predicts, Not Bets.
For Instance, all those supposed
ly lean ;ears (before the AAA) in
Kansas when Dr. "Phog" was bet
ting on everybody but Kansaa, but
not on tne aottea line. 11 oe naa,
he'd still be paying off.
At anv rate, the percentage col
umn reads "Nebraska, 1.000, Kan
sas, 1,000." The good Doctor is
bemoaning: his "1,000" and point
lng to the Husker "LOOO" as triple
dyed, steel and concrete reinforced
pi-oof of uornnusKer superiority.
Far be it from us to argue with
the capable Allen. But his peren
rial weeping season is under way
1 nfull deluge, ana rve a sneamng,
half hearted hunch that it's all
crocodile tears.
Something to Worry Over.
The Nebraskans undoubtedly did
give Mr. Allen something to worry
about, however, provided he wasn't
too overcome with grief before,
after their conqjest of Missouri
The southerners came, and the
southerners went, still retaining
their drawls, but vhich were
somewhat saddened and dampened
by defeat.
Considering that Missouri had
quite unceremoniously dumped Ok
lahoma the week belore, Nebraska
is better than at least two of the
valley schools, if you want to go
on the basis of those cagy little ab
stracts known to the experts as
comparative results. In connection
with this point, it should te re
membered that along about this
time of last year the Brownemen
skinned Iowa State, which group
of youngsters later went out and
garnered the conference title, me
moral: What do comparative re
sults mean?
Anyone Might Win.
But right now this conference
season, which from an early out
look seemed as wide open an af
fair as a flock cf pups after a rab
bit has narrowed down into Ne
braska and Kansas. Kansas State
and Iowa State, of course, are fac
tors to be more than mildly con
sidered, and might spring a few
surprises that would upset the fa
vorites. Missouri has lost only one.
And the Tigers are bard to beat at
home. Oklahoma has lost one.
Tbey might come back with blood
in their eyes. So there's the whole
thing in a nutshell, or rather, a
paragraph. To sum it up in a sen
tence: Anyone might win yet.
But here in Cornhuskerland, the
Brownemen are the tops. In fact,
they're the coliseum. In reality, not
in song.

ple who witnessed the Nebraska

HUSKERS WIN BIG
SIX OPENER 31-26
Brownemen Rally in Crucial
Final Minute Victory Over Missouri; Tiger
Rally Ties Count Late in Game.
WHITAKER AND WAHLQUIST LEAD THE WAY
Scarlet Amass Early Lead Which Dwindles as Invading
Quint Finds Range in Second Half; Both Teams
Miss Many Shots from Field.
By Dick Kunzman.
After holding Missouri's invading cage artists to a faint
hearted growl or two during the first half, a high voltage, pass
dizzy Cornhusker basket team
at the start of the second period Friday evening just in timo
to stem the fury of a snarling, savage Tiger uprising. The 31-21)
victory over Coach George Ed-O
wards, resolute Missourians sent
the Huskera away with bursting
sans on tneir nrst venture into me
watcra of the Big Six.
Going into the second period with
a 17 to 12 advantage, JMeDrasxa
lorgot for five sluggish minutes
that sher was playing a ball game.
The fast moving Husker floor
game had provided the showman
ship for the crowd of over 4,500,
and when the lull found the Scar
let doing everything wrong, Coach
Edwards' steady, slow-passing at
tack had the fans calling lor ac
tion. Mizzou Ties Count.
It was not long in forthcoming,
for Missouri crashed thru the
weakening Nebraska defense to
tie the score at 17-all, and the
Huskers took a new lease on life,
going into the lead again immedi
ately.
George Wahlquist, definitely
"off" in the first-half proceedings,
led his mates back to high-geared
action at the right moment and
threw the Tigers into reverse gear.
Clinging to the alender margin of
25 to 24 lead witb four minutes
left to play, the Hastings senior
dribbled thru the entire Tiger de
fensive web, and W'hitaker con
nected a moment later on the same
P,av- .. .
Brownie s lads thereupon decided
that they didn't care to shoot bas
kets after all, and took a monop
oly on the ball in the middle'cf the
court with a fast-circling passing
relay that the Tigers couldn't pene
trate. Parsons Connects.
Bob Parsons finally slipped in
for an under-the-basket tally, but
W'hitaker lost control of the ball
minute later, and Missouri took
posession, Strom dropping in a last
desperate goal just before the gun.
The first half was Nebraska s
by a margin as wide as the At
lantic. Starting away from the
whlstie like a whirlwind, the
Huskers dropped in ten points
while Mizzou was nabbing one free
toss. Brownie's pupils turned loose
hghtnir.g floor and passing
game which slowed up in places
after the first quarter and went
by spurts and bounds.
Wlutaker, Wahlquist and Far-
sons trapped most of the Husker
tallies, earning 30 points between
them. Wahlquist was high with 12
points, followed by W'hitaker with
10 and Parsons with 8. Powell s
tallies topped the Mizzou shoot
ers.
Tigers Miss Shots.
While Brownie's Three Muske
teers were running away with
marksmanship honors, Coach Ed
wards' retinue was missing the
largest share of their attempts.
The Huskers allowed shot after
shot from just beyond the foul line
In the firftt half, and had Missouri's
main finrg trio of Beer, Powell,
and Strom, connected a trifle more
often, it would have been a dif
ferent storv.
Two speedy setups by Hank
W'hitaker and one of Bob Parsons'
specialty archeis gave Nebraska
a 6 to 0 lead soon after the start
ing whistle, and after Powell had
sunk a free throw on Ebaugh's
foul, Wahlquist added two more
baskets to the advantage. W'hi
taker and Carroll alternated at
gift throws, and W'hitaker and
Parsons sifted in one apiece be
fore Carroll managed another
from the charity line.
17 to 12 at Half.
Adams brought down the first
Missouri field goal with 15 minutes
gone, and Strom added another
from the side two minutes later,
Powell and Adams caught the Ne
braska defense napping in the
waning minutes of the half, witb
an inspired attack, pushing the
total up to 12-17 before the inter
mission. The last half-minute be
fore lunch-time found both teams
showering baskets recklessly with
out success.
After working up to a tie during
the ragged Nebraska showing
after the half, the Missourians
turned on the heat again. Wahl
quist and Parsons moved the
Huskers into a 6-point lead, and
the Tigers called time. Beer and
Powell sent In two baskets in 30
seconds after the recess, and when
Wahlquist cashed in for Nt'oraska
to make the count 25-21, Powell
added three more points in quick
succession.
