Kansas cagers meet Oklahoma
at Norman Saturday in the Big
Six inaugural. Judging by the
results of the two teams ngainst
Southern Methodist, the Sooners
hold an edge.
The Drakemen walloped S.M.U.
49 to 31, while Jayhr.wk courtmen
won twice over the Mustangs, once
by six points, and the other time
by seven
Missing Ralph Miller, sopho
more flash, who had been counted
upon to pace the Kansans this
season, Phog Allen predicts the
worst in this first meeting.
Yet, Nebraska lost to California
by 28 points after beating that
same team 40 to 43- only a few
evenings before.
Just ns in football, comparative
basketball scores are no basis for
basketball predictions, Two years
ago, K. U. trounced the Huskers
in the first conference meeting
then tumbled in the second.
Kansas will still rule as a
favorite when they take the floor
Saturday night. After a mediocre
start, they probably have enough
polish and speed to show the
Sooners what it takes to win.
Ed Bock and Chuck Heileman,
Iowa State stars who aided in the
14 to 0 victory of West over East
New Year's day, both attribute the
victory to "team spirit." The
Cyclones said that the 22 western
stars developed a genuine feeling
of team spirit in the twelve days
they were together.
Bock and Heileman, together
with Pug Manders of Drake and
Nebraska's Charlie Brock, were
main cogs in the West machine.
Bock played in three quarters,
Heileman in three, Manders almost
the whole game, and Brock was in
35 minutes of the 60.
The Cyclone end was on the
receiving end of three Patterson
passes and kicked an extra point.
Brock and Manders' line backing
held the touted East backs from
romping as they had been ex
Dected.
All the West players returned
home with jackets and gold
watches, gifts of the Shriners who
sponsored the game.
At least half the championships
of the 10 Big Six conference
snorts will be decided at Iowa
State during the 1938-1939 school
year.
The loop wrestling meet will be
held on the Cvclono campus March
10 and 11. On March 19 and 20.

Twenty swimming candidates
under the direction of Coach Pete
Hagelln give promise of making
one of the best balanced teams
in Nebraska university's swim
ming history.
Kvelle Younger and Ralph Wor
den have been impovlng to make
the diving one of the strongest
departments, but competition in
other events has been unusually
strong. Sophmores are giving
somo of the major letter winners
back from last year a tough race
for team positions.
All the candidates have been
working out since the start of
school last September and their
times according to Hagelln, "have
been improving satisfactorily."
The freshman group has also been
showing up well.
The team has been weakened by
the loss of Bob Smith, major let
ter winner in the breast stroke
last year. Smith will move to Cal
ifornia after this semester. Eligi
bility is also expected to keep a
few swimmers out.

Cagers Return From West
Coast Barnstorming Sunday
Huskers Apt to Bring
Back Many Anecdotes
By Norman Harris.
Sunday, the weary travelers
will return.
And for weeks, tall stories of
California, the mountains, movie
stars, and perhaps something
about basketball will float about
the campus.
After almost two weeks of sight
seeing, dinners, luncheons, intro
ductions, and five basketball
games, W. H. Browne, A. J.
Lcwandowskl and nine Corn
husker varsity cagers will settle
down to the old routine of school,
with the pleasant thought of final
exams before the players.
Years ago, when the Cornhusker
football team traveled east a
couple of times to play Army and
Syracuse, the returning gridders
brought tales of beautiful women,
brought towels, Bibles, stationery,
and eating utensils, made of the
stuff they make dimes of, from the
eastern hotels, etc.
Unofficially, the Huskers had a

The training rules that governed
the cagers prevented them from

come packed in sacks of flour and
other foodstuffs.
In the good old days, the travel
ing salesman, (they sold the uni
versity to easterners), carried an
extra wardrobe trunk in which to
put their souvenirs. Card cata
logs and price tags were part of
the equipment too.

It was seldom that Husker player
ever returned for two or three
weeks after New Years day. Too
much fun there on the coast. The
coaches had to be back, and with
no chaperons, the boys went to
town.
