Coach W. H. Browne and nine
Nebraska basketeers left yester
day afternoon for Norman, Okla
homa, where they take on the
Sooners tonight in a game in
which the Huskers are the underdogs.
Nebraska lost 56-41 to the Soon
ers two weeks ago at Lincoln, and
altho the Huskers showed im
provement against Missouri last
week, the Oklahoma team will
have the advantage of playing at
home. The Sooners, who are now
tied for the conference lead with
Missouri, will be out to protect
their laurels.
Starters.
Browne will start Frank Tall-
man, game captain, of Creston,
Iowa, and Irv Yaffe of Omaha at
forwards; Al Randall of Omaha,
center; Sid Held, Lincoln and
Hartmann Goetze, St Joseph, Mis
souri, guards.
Don Fitz is still out and did not
make the trip, but Harry Pitcaith
ley, who has been on the injured
list, may see quite a bit of action
altho he won't be on the starting
lineup.
Others making the trip are Bob
Therien, Lincoln; Les Livingston,
Hastings; John Hay, Lincoln.
Sooner lineup.
The Sooner's starting lineup will
probably be the same as the one
which opened against the Huskers
here. Jimmy McNatt and Dale
Carlile, forwards; Herb Scheffler,
center, and Marvin Mesch or Mat
Zollner and Marvin Snodgrass,
guards.
Mesch was recently released
from the infirmary after having
missed the Kansas State game be
cause of the flu, and will probably
be out tonight. If he is unable to
play, Mat Zollner, a junior shifted
from forward, will replace nun
May drop.
Should Nebraska lose, and Iowa
State beat Kansas State at Ames
tonight, the Huskers will drop
into last place in the Big Six
standings. If both the Huskers and

when LeRoy Foster won the 200

Kansas State, following him to
the tape. Sophomore Bill Edwards
captured both the 50 and 100 yard

Bob Kahler, hurdler and high

the hurdles events. Other letter

Red Littler, the Mitchell flash

been turning in better times than
are usually evidenced this early in
the year. Nebraska, incidentally.

Husker sophomore runner, who
recently did a 4:26 mile. He will
