Huskers take
Wildcats in
ragged battle
Browne's five paced
by Kovanda; Wesche
hits for 20 tallies
A fighting Nebraska basketball
team put itself back into the Big
Six race with a decisive victory
over Kansas State 42 to 24 here
last night.
The Huskers took an early lead
on two free throws by Kovanda
and a bucket by Thomas and re
tained that lead throughout the
game. It was five minutes before
the visitors were able to counter
and at the end of ten minutes Ne
braska had tripled the Aggies'
score and led 15 to 5.
Coach Browne ran in a new
team at this point and the Wild
cats paced by Homer Wesche, con
ference scoring leader, drew up
within 11 points. But the Ne
braska substitutes stopped it at
that to lead 24 to 13 at the half.
Ragged first half.
The first half was marked by
bad passes and poor floor play on
the part of both teams, especially
on the part of Kansas State.
Both teams came back in the
second canto with a vengeance
and Kansas State, again paced by
the TTun Man ' Wesche who gar
nered 12 points in this period,
pulled up within six points, only
to see their attack bog down as
Kovanda put the game on ice for
the Huskers with a pair of free
throws on a deliberate trip by
Reid of Kansas State.
Homer Wesche of Kansas State
topped the scoring with 20 count
ers while Bill Kovanda of Ne
braska boosted his standing in the
conference with 13 points.
Between the halves the fans
were entertained by a combina
tion wrestling, football and bas
ketball melee between the re
spected press quintet and the rug
ged squad of coaches. The coaches
came out on top 6 to 4.

Walter O'Keefe, radio and
screen star, told this one about
Knute Rockne at a New York
sports blowout the other night.
Rock, on being introduced to
columnist Heywood Broun, said,
"I've been reading your column in
the World." Catch is that Broun
had not been writing for the World
for several years, and the faux
pas made him sore. He answered,
"I have been following your Yale
basketball team," and walked out.
Note to Milt Meier in the Uni
versity Daily Kansan: Thanks for
the congratulations, but that date
bureau idea might infringe on the
society desk's rights.
Phog Allen is having his trou
bles at Lawrence, and with the
Oklahoma Aggie game coming up,
has dropped George Golay and
Bruce Reid from the squad be
cause of violation of training rules.
Golay, 6' 3" forward, was instru
mental in beating the Huskers at
Lincoln last year, while Reid, a
6' 1" guard, is or was, the best
passer on the team.
Then, Bob Allen who has been
playing regularly at center, will be
out with a leg infection, and Wil
liam Hogben, sophomore, has been
lost to the squad because of low
grades.
Starting lineup for the Jay
hawks against Oklahoma Aggies
includes Ralph Miller and Don
Ebling at forwards, Bruce Voran
at center, and Dick Harp and Ly
man Corlis at guards.
