Southpaw Paul Amen Blocks a California Basket
Pid you go to the California
game Saturday night? There Was
sure, a raft of people there,
wasn't there? Or should we say
a rafter full ? Unofficial count paid
that it was a near record crowd
or in other words hovered about
the 8.000 mark. And, think of the
profit in basketball: The next time
we see Business Manager John K.
Sellork with that "I wish we could
pet bigger crowds" expression,
we're gonna be awful disgusted
with John.
We saw him from the balcony
going around the coliseum taking
a nose count. He looked like the
crowd was only fairly pleasing to
him. It's a little like complaining
because you were born with a
silver spoon in your mouth in
stead of a platinum one. If we are
right and Mr. Selleck does expect
to get more than 8,000 people into
the coliseum for a basketball
game, we want to help, because
such a feat won't be easy.
We can't overlook the fact, Mr.
Selleck that some 500 of the peo
ple there Friday night couldn't 6ee
the game. Of course the play by
play description of Harold Pet
as he would sav, "please
smoke in here' soothed the com
plaints of those unfortunate be
ings. Incidentally, Petz isn't fool
ing when he says don't smoke.
You'd be surprised how much a
smoke filled court hampers the
average basketball player. Getting
back to our problem of "putting a
size 11 pedal extremity into a No.
5 shoe," we can't overlook the fact
either that bleachers completely
enveloped the arena and there was
about a two coat veneer of hu
manity on those bleachers. Where
we sat it was just two bad for the
man who lost control of his emo
tions and stood up to cheer, for
wdhen he turned to recover his
seat it had vanished just like a1
cow track in the soft mud. A little I
farther down they were packed soj
light that they had to count off to i
breathe.
Well, Mr. Selleck, if we're going
to get more than 8,000 people in
that coliseum were going to have
to he ingenious.
Kirst of all, Mr. Selleck, we
thought that by building balcony
ever balcony like a stack of wheat
cakes that the capacity could be
greatly increased. Then too, think
of the number of fans that could
be seated if the bleachers were
constructed a la ferris wheel. We
estimate that the crowds could be
tripled. No one person would get
to see the entire game, but each
would at least get to witness a
third of the fray. Two-thirds of
the time he would be spent in
making the revolution when the
floor would not be in view. But
think of the suspense as you
awaited your allotted glimpse of
the action.
Still more could be crammed
into the field house by dangling
from the rafters those canvas and
elastic baby seats; you know, the
Buffalo Cagesters Bow
To Nebraska Speed,
Superior Passing.
Colorado university's Buffalo
basketball quintet bowed to the
superior speed and passing of the
Nebraska Cornhuskers last night
in a slam bang game which ended
29-18.
The game was a ragged affair
the whole route. During the last
ten minutes of the tilt, when
Coach W. H. Browne turned the
game over to the second team, the
crowd of about 6,000 was kept in
an uproar of laughter as the two
teams tumbled and scrambled
about the floor in frantic attempt
to gain possession of the sacred
pill.
Amen High Scorer.
The Huskers got away to an
early lead accounting for 11 points
while their opponents scored but
2. Paced by Paul Amen who was
high point man of the game with
12 counters, the Huskers displayed
a crisscross offense which baffled
the invaders. After whipping the
half ended with the Huskers out
in front by a score of 15-8.
Just after the second half had
opened. Paul Amen was forced
from the game because of a
sprained ankle. At this point the
Buffaloes trimmed the Husker
lead to 4 points which was as close
as they got. The Scarlet imme
diately opened up and widened the
margin to 15 points, 27-12. Then
the Nebraska seconds entered the
game and things began to happen.
Lloyd Grimm's headlong drives
into the basket seemed to bring
out the football in the Coloradoans
and the Nebraskans retaliated
with an equally good brand of
ball. Both teams spent a good
part of the time on the floor
squirming for the elusive oval.
In a preliminary game, the Ne
braska B team trounced the Fresh
man team by a score of 19-9.

kind that have two holes thru
which the tot sticks his legs. This
would avoid any waste space over
head. Fans occupying these seats
would get a double thrill as they
jump to their feet with excite
ment, for those seats have no foot
board and plenty of the "bouncy
bouncy" element.
If all these inventions do not
suffice our crowd count, Mr. Sel
leck. then we have one last sug
gestion. We could do away with
the playing floor entirely and
cover it with bleachers. In this
manner we could seat more people
and no one would miss any of the
game.
Huskers Rank as Favorites

Autographed Game Spheroid
Presented to Biffer's
13 Year Old Son.
By John Stuart.
"Big Klmer Dohrmann for his
receiving of flips and all around
play, Sloan of Arkansas for his
heaving of passes, and Sweeney
from Notre Dame on the East
team for his speed on going down
on kicks are in my mind the most
outstanding players that partici
pated in the Kant-West game"
stated Biff Jones yesterday.
"Biff" also commented on the
fine blocking snd tackling of Fred
Murey us well as his excellent
liandling of the ball on laterals.
He thought all the boys from this
section of the country which in
cluded Kansas. Oklahoma, Mis
souri, and Drake as well as Ne
braska "did mighty fine" and cer
tainly gained the respect of their
fellow players from other sections
of the country.
Came Give Satisfaction.
"The boys derived a great deal
of satisfaction out of this game."
"Biff" explained that this East
West gHme which ended in a
tiothing to nothing tie was a char
iry game, the proceeds of which go
1o the Shrine hospital in San
Francisco to lie used for the car
ing for crippled children. He
staled thHt the players thus felt
that it was more than just an
other post -season game. About
M .10,000 has been raised for this
hospital since the series of games
stalled and about 100,000 was con
tributed this year.
Unlike some of the other bowl
E&mes, the only compensation thej
coaches ana players receivea was
a fine sweater and Elgin watch.

The athletes' nemesis, ineligibil

Bill Luke from the team.
Strong In 145 and 155 Pounders.
Competition is strongest in the
145 and 155 pound divisions, Witn
Jim Knight, John Williams and
Don Shelberg about even in the
145 pound class and Ray Tomes,
Jerry Adams, and Milford Smith
battling it out for the call in the
145 pound class. Knight, high
point of the Nebraska team last
year and third high point man in
the Big Six, is on the inside track
in the 145 pound class and Tomes
is leading the field in the 155
pound division.
Whitman, who won a major let
ter two years ago. has an injured
shoulder and may be out of action
for three or four weeks.
The match which was tenta
tively scheduled for Jan. 14 and
15 with Southwestern State Teach
ers and Central State Teachers of
Oklahoma has been indefinitely
postponed. This meet may be held

a chance to get acquainted at a
dinner given in their honor at the
Palace hotel after the game.
Of all the games played in 13
years of the East-West series,
Jones stated that this la-st game
was the most interesting even
though it did end in a tie.
The capacity crowd was thrilled
by the passing of the West team.
They completed 14 out of 29
heaves and a player in the back
field on the opposing team re
marked that he thought he was in
a baseball game the ball was
thrown about so much.
Biermsn Opposes Jones.
Commenting on having Bernle
Biermsn of the mighty Gophers,
Jones merely remarked' that they
have always been rood friends,
he highly respected bis northern
neighbor, and he was very pleased
to have such an outstanding man
as bis opponent
Our coach was not worried In
the lesst in the rapid increase of
"bowla" wbicn has been going on
in the past few years. He wg
very much tn favor of the 6hrlne
classic. In his opinion, if the bowl
situation became more acuta,
something; would have to be done
aa allowing no mora bowla to
prevent an Increase. As for In
creasing the length of the plaj-ing
season, be remarked that the
weather and the necessity of foot'
ball players getting bick to their
classrooms would prevent any
such possibility.
