By Jun Bierbewer.
Nebraska campusites will get to
ee quite a bit of basketball this
winter even tho dear old Christmas
Vacation does come as usual.
The Huskers have their best
home schedule in years with six
top-notch intersections! games.
The South Dakota game Saturday
night, and the Indiana game next
week .won't face any competition
from vacation. For those who don't
know yet, that sweet time starts
at noon Wednesday, Dec. 20. That
night Stanford plays here, so those
who aren't In too much of a hurry
to get away, will get to see a good
ball game. On Dec. 23 the team
goes to Minneapolis to meet Min
nesota, and chances are the crowd
at the Dec. 27 game here with
Utah will be 98 1-2 percent Lin
colnites. The team plays at Mil
waukee against Wisconsin Dec. 30.
The Wisconsin and Minnesota
games, incidentally, are the only
out of conference games away from
home. Detroit plays here Jan. 2,
which is the Tuesday night before
the Wednesday noon on which va
cation ends. California plays here
Jan. 6. All of which means all of
you aren't basketball fans every
game except one this year without
stretching too hard.
All Eig Six teams selected by
the University Daily Kansan and
the Oklahoma Daily varied at only
one position. . .the Daily Kansan
had Bud Orf at one end, while the
Sooner paper picked Frank Ivy. . .
both selections had George See
mann at one post. . .the other boys
they had in the line were tackles
Duggan of Oklahoma and Weiner
of K-State, guards Speegle of the
Sooners. . .backs were the Sey
mour, Clark, Rohrig and Christ
man combination. . .for those who
like to keep count, the Oklahoma
paper listed six Sooners; the KU
. daily, five. C. E. McBride of the
KC Star did very well by himself
on the Hopp-Rohrig question. . .he
put them both on ... he also had
Warren Alfson on his all Big Six
team, but called Alfson a "sopho
more". . .that's a little too good to
be true... he also put tackles Mel
Wetzel of Missouri and Justin
Bowers of Oklahoma on his first
team over their more publicized
mates Ken Haas and Gil Duggan.
Bill Cunningham had the best
ground gaining average on the
Missouri team this year. . .the soph
fullback gained a net of 409 yards
in 73 tries for a 55 average...
Clarence Hydron, reserve fullback,
had an average of nearly 6 yards
. . .he carried the ball 33 times for
194 yards... Paul Christman gain
ed more yardage by running than
any other back on the squad. . .432
yards in 98 attempts for 4.3 aver
age... In case you've wondered,

Sooner ccuCu
can't see NU
five as threat
Bruce Drake, youthful Okla
homa university basketball mentor,
tars Kansas and Iowa State as the
teams to fight it out for the Big
Six championship, this year.
The Sooner coach couldn t see a
bright future for the Nebraska five
because Coach Harold Browne
"has been tied up so much with
football that he is just now able
to start work with his basket
ball squad."
Ralph Miller, whom some ac
claim as the greatest Jayhawk
basketball man in the past de
cade and the 13 lettermen who
will be back this year were two
of Drakes best reasons why he
rates the Kansas boys on top.
A group of up . and coming
sophomores and six lettermen
made the Oklahoman give Iowa
the nod as the other top team in
the Big Six conference this year.
He looks for them to go places.
Drake said, "By their own ad
mission, they'll be bigger, faster,
better balanced and more expe
rienced this year. A real cy
clone." When asked about the pros
pects of his own teams season
the coach remarked, "Lack of
height and weight is again our
biggest handicap, same as last
year." The Sooners will also be
missing the services of Garnett
Corbin, their sliok ball handler.
