Neu scores 17 points to
lead Demons; Skrodski,
Fitz, Kovanda foul out
Captain Bob Neu led DePaul's
Demons to a 37-33 win over Ne
braska Friday night, pouring in
17 points on five field goals and
seven free tosses besides playing
a sparkling floor game.
The Blue Demons jumped Into
an early 8-0 lead in the first five
minutes of play; and the Huskers
spent the rest of a dull first half
nibbling Rt the lead.
Al Werner tied the count at
w 13-all after nearly 17 minutes had
elapsed, but DePaul spurted again
and led 17-14 at halftime.
Stan Szukala opened the second
half with a side shot for the
i Demons, but Al Randall's free
throw and basket along with two
long . beauties by Al Werner put
the Huskers ahead 21-20 after 4
minutes as all the invaders could
garner was a free throw by Neu
Kovanda's fielder gave the
Huskers their longest lead of the
game, but the Demons jumped in
front again as Tollstam and the
inevitable Neu potted baskets. Don
Fitz made a free throw and bas
ket while Neu was converting two
free throws on Bill Kovanda's foul
to tie it 26-all. Szukala scored his
fourth and last basket of the
game, but the Huskers went into
the lead for the last time on a
free throw by Fitz, and Thomas'
shot from behind the free throw
circle with a little over 7 minutes
to go.
Neu' came thru again, and the
Demons led from there on out, ad
ding baskets by Sachs and Neu
along with two free throws by Ed
Norris while the best Nebraska
could do was Bill Kovanda's
fielder.
Ted Skrodski, visiting guard,
left the game on fouls, while Don
"r Fitz and Bill Kovanda both went
out for the Huskers. Fitz left the
game with six minutes to play.
Al Randall led Husker scorers
with nine points.
Most of the game's ac. ion came
In the last minute and a half as
Browne sent a stream of substi
tutes in and out to stretch the
- playing time. Coach Haggerty of
DePaul furnished the sideline en
tertainment with a performance
which rivaled any Phog Allen or
Rube Hoy ever Btaged as he pro
tested Browne's action.

Nebraska won Its Kansas State
track meet for the second consecu
tive year by virtue of a win in the
relay. Last year the Huskers went
into the final event with a 51 1-3 to
47 2-3 lead and held it as they
came through in the relay, al
though a bad exchange at the end
of the third and fourth laps nearly
gave Bob Simmons too much of a
handicap to overcome.
Simmons, who was out last
week with a pulled tendon in his
leg, came through again for the
Huskers as he overtook the Wildcat
runner on the last lap. Bob Beltz
and Al Kuper had put the Huskers
in front, but the Staters' third
runner had pulled a little ahead
of Elwood Pankonin. Had Ne
braska lost the relay, they would
have dropped the meet 53-51.

It was quite a day for the foot
