Scarlet Rally from Score of
To Draw Up a 14-16 Position at End of
First Period of Game.
By DICK KUNZMAN.
Nebraska's CoriihusUcr basketball team ennui from behind
in ii swirling, whirling display of 18-earat thrills Saturday night
at Norman, Old., to lash out a -Kl-M victory over the Sooner
net swishers. The victory left Coach Hrownu's retinue with an
untarnished slate as they prepare to talk turkey with I'hog
Allen's Kansas Jayhawks Monday to
night at Lawrence for the undis
puted leadership of the conference
Having proved that they can go
oifc in front and hold a lead once
they obtained it by thrusting back
Missouri and Wyoming last week,
the Huskers convinced a crowd of
2,500 Friday that they have the
stuff to come from behind. Show
ing the Sooner a thing or two
about their fast break specialty,
the Brownemen turned loose a
tractor-powered speed attack that
left the Sooners gasping for breath
and clutching for straws.
Hanging to the short end of a
36 to 8 score curly in the first half,
the touring Huskers rallied with
clash and fire to draw up to a 11
lG position at the second half.
Huskers Shoot Works.
And then in the second half, the
five Nebraska maple artists really
went to work. Setting a red-hot
piice that had players of both
teams strewn all over the floor,
alid the crowd weak from exhaus
tion in their scats, Nebraska drew
neck and neck with the Sooners,
edged ahead of them, and then
climbed to a 38-24 point lead.
But the reputation of the fast
break superiority which prevails
at Oklahoma proved its worth, for
the Sooners started surging ahead
in a wild melange of rallying speed
that had the spectators wondering
if this wasn't a nightmare. The
Oklahomans spurted up to within
seven points but the bell cut short
the drive, and the exhausted crowd
todfc time out to breathe again.
Wahlquist Heads Attack.
- George Wahlquist showed the
Scarlet Its way down the streets
of victory, providing a whirlwind
foundation for the Nebraska of
fense and figuring in every play.
Feeding, shooting, guarding, Wahl
qijlst proved the margin between
n wpll-eamed victory over a fight
ing, splendid team that didn't quite
have enough, and a smarting de
feat carrying with it an enormous
handicap against the undefeated
Java Mondav nltrht.
Scoring 11 points, Wahlquist
earned the Scarlet marksmanship
crown, followed bv Bob Parsons

dashes down the floor, Parson's

haskets wfiio all Nebraska fca-
tuits.
Meanwhile the Sooners weren't
doing so badly themselves. Martin,
Sooner guard, bagged 4 field goals
and tallied five times from the dole
line to take high scoring honors of
the game. And with another five
siinutes of play, the rate at which
the eleventh hour Sooner rally was
travelling might have resulted in a
not so happy ending for Nebraska.

NO NEW
GRID RULES.
Which Is
Just os Well,
For the Game's Sake.
By Arnold Levin.
If an oplniatcd poll of the coun
try's leading gridiron tutors fur
nishes any precognition of the
rules under which, college boys
will nlav next fall, there will be
no radical departures from the
present day football panorama.
Drastic proposals in the order
of events have been abolishment
of the point after touchdown, sub
stituting one point for every first
down as a scoring system; an
overtime period to break ties; and
that perennial controversy, the
shifting of the goal posts back to
the goal lines.
This business of points after
touchdown is a moot question
which ha.-, been subjected to blfar
ious criticism since its inception.
Games are won, lost, and tied be
cause of the adeptness or inadept
ness of some certain athlete to
swing his big toe rythmlcally and
truly. Example Nebraska's three
wins in a row over .Iowa by one
point margins.
The big argument is that not al
ways the most powerful combina
tion has the best kick-after-touch-downers,
and that consequently a
team by sheer luck may overcome
stronger opposition. That, how
ever, holds water just about as
well as a sieve. Breaks can decide
a game whether the try for point
is used or eliminated. To argue
that the less cogent combination
can win by an extra point is quite
similar to saying that the more
potent outfit can lose because it
interfered with an intended pass
receiver.
Those same souls who argue
abolishment of the try for point
are positively fanatic on the sub
ject of tie games, proposing five
minute after-sessions in which the
team gaining the most yardage
would be declared winner.
60 Minutes Plenty.
Now any twenty-two gridmen,
playing thru 60 minutes of rough,
tough football, are not going to
relish the prospect of five minutes
more. The advantage here would
decisively lie with those squads
who number the mostest of the
bestcst. Weaker institutions, lack
ing cogency in reserve strength,
would be at a severe disadvantage.
The meager glory that might re
sult from an upset tie would be
non-existent.
Providing points for first downs
would eliminate high-speed scor
ing plays, and at the same time
cause Buch concentration on de
fense that yards would be precious
earnings.
Football plays today are de
signed to gain much ground. As
much of it at one time as possi
ble, with the end zone the ulti
mate goal. Under the point per
down system, teams would point
for first downs, not touchdowns.
A gain of ten yards would be just
as satisfactory as one of twenty.
Chances are the opponents would
hold after a twenty yard gain
anyway, because defenses would
be stepped up to the peak of per
fection. The offensive eleven would
play for ten yards. The defensive
eleven would bo keyed to the
point where only a few plays
might gain ground all afternoon.
A drab exhibition such as that be
tween Nebraska and Kansas State
last fall would be the result.
Paying customers like to see
long runs and thrills in their foot
ball games. I believe the substitut
ing of a point a down for the
point after touchdown system

Sooner Diamond
Star Headed for
Big Time Compet
NORMAN, Jan. 11). Another
University of Oklahoma baseball
player, developed by Lawrence
"Jan" Haskell. Sooner coach, Is
on his way to the major leagues.
He is Merle "Hook" Coleman, of
Tulsa, a 0 foot 1 inch boy who was
brought along carefully by Coach
Haskell as a freshman pitcher in
1031 and actually worked In three
varsity games last spring before
jumping tlio club and withdraw
lug from school to pitch for
Shrcvenort in the West Dixie
league.
Coleman was purchased recently
for $2,000 by tho Boston Red Sox
unti has been farmed to the ayra
cusc club of the International
league for seasoning.
The lanky Sooner right hander
last year won 0 and lost 10 games
with the tallend Shroveport chili
prior to a back Injury, after which
ho played outfield and hit 300. Be
fore his injury Coleman had struck
out 135 batters in 100 innings and
was leading the league in that de
partmcnt. He had walked 70 bat
tcrs.
Others Leave School.
Coleman was tho second Sooner
player to Jump the club Inst year.
Roy Meyers, of Mllfay, a center
fielder, played seven games then
left school to sign with tho Okla
homa City team of the Texas
league, hitting like a fiend thru the
league playoff nnd also the Dixie
series, both of which Oklahoma
City won.
Despite Carl Hubbell's advice to
the Sooner squad, delivered two
years ago when the Giant south
paw drove to Norman to work out
with the Sooners, that a college
ball player could learn more base
ball under a good college coach
and get an education too than if
ho Jumped the club, the Sooner
youngsters continue to succumb
to the lucrative offers of scouts.
Even after Meyers and Coleman
left the Sooners last spring, Coach
Haskell developed a club that
swept its last 12 games in a row,
thanks to the chucking of a soph
omore southpaw from Mocker,
Mayo Parks. But Parks has been
tempted by the Oklahoma City
club and will go south with them to
Shreveport, La., their training
camp site.
would ruin the thrills, excitement,
and open vigorousness of modern
football.
As to moving the goal posts
back to the goal line in an effort
to start a popular trend towards
field goal kicking I once saw a
fullback take the ball on the op
ponent's 2-yard lino and dive
square into the post. I never want
to see it happen again.
It isn't very often that a foot
ball player runs tho wrong way.
Roy Riegels of California's Golden
Bears is the classic example. It Is
more common, however, for a
basketball player, under the heat
and stress of the moment, to score
for tho other side. So when Center
Aron of Doano whished a two
pointer thru the Midland basket
Friday, John Q. Public didn't
think much of it until ho read
further and found out that Center
Aron's basket won the game for
Midland, 28-27.
After a bit of tough luck in the
beginning, Wilbur Knight's Husker
nubbins baskcteers seem to have
definitely found themselves.
They've won two straight, by nice,
margins, and have exhibited team
work and strength that should
carry them on quite successfully
thru the rest of their schedule.

Schulte's Squads Practice
Saturday With Eye to
Initial Contest.
The Thundering Herd Is looso
again!
Henry Schulto's track and field
flock, awaiting tho opening nf tho
conference indoor season Feb. 22
ngainst Kansas U. started rumb
ling and roaring Saturday after
noon in tho beginning of a prncttco
movement which will turn into
little short of a clnder-poundlng
stampede prior to the initial dual
engagement.
Conducting tho first regular try
out for varsity positions on the
1936 Husker track squadron,
Coach Schulto had representatives
of all the Indoor events except the
hurdlers and broad jumpers flex
ing their muscles and taking short
turns at competitive marks.
Many Distance Men.
Heading the aggregation were
the distance men, who threatened
to turn the track into a racetrack
for the solo utilization of long-distance,
non-stop specialists. Fred
Mattson, Sutton; Chet Beaver,
Yankton, S. D. and Wilson And
rews, headed the competitive dis
tance grinds, with Bob Morris do
ing his competing with himself
earlier in the afternoon.
Beaver nnd Mattson finished
even Steven in a six-lap duel that
was scheduled for three-quarters
of a mile, but went another lap by
mistake. Tho time for the three
quarter was 3 minutes 22 seconds,
but neither of the runners pulled
into the stretch until tho final lap,
clocking 4:19 for the whole. And
rews, strongest of the three in the
2-mile this fall, too late to get Into
the headlining contest, finished in
3:29 when his- cross country pals
combined later to pace him over
the route.
Pankonln Edges Frank.
Mattson also came out on top
of one of the 440 yard heats, while
Les Pankonln, Louisville, edged
out Eldon Frank, St.f Edward, in
another. "Pank's" time was 55.2
seconds, Frank's 55.4. A trio of
frosh, Simmons, Allen, and Owen
finished in good order in the
speed grind, Simmons hauling
down the best time. He called it
a day a little later after clocking
28.9 seconds for the lap, more than
250 yards.
