That race between Taisto Maki
and Greg Rice in the Finn's first
appearance in the United States
should be a great one. Dan Ferris
hasn't said whether or not it will
be at two or three miles, but that's
beside the point.
Makl holds the world outdoor
records in the two and three miles,
while Rice, who seemingly is just
hitting his stride now, broke the
World's indoor records in both the
frtwo and three mile races within
two weeks.
Maki's outdoor marks are 8:53.2
for two miles, and 13:42.4, the lat
ter being considerably faster than
Rice's mark of 13:55.9. Greg's
8:56.2, the best he has ever done
indoors or out, also can't equal
Maki's time.
Rice, in setting his indoor two
mile mark, put together halves of
2:12, 2:16.1, 2:18.3, and 2:09.6.
That last half speaks highly of his
finishing kick, as the little Notre
Darner actually came through
with a 60 second final quartermile
as he sprinted away from his op
ponents at the race s end.
There's some doubt that Rice
can beat Maki, but there doesn't
seem to be any doubt that he's on
1 the way up to even greater things
' than he achieved in college. Maki
: hasn't run competitively since last
, summer, even though he's been
working out with a guy named
Nurmi. It ought to be a great race,
' especially if they get together in
I the two-mile, at which length Rice
i has had more experience, and
j relatively better time than at the
mger distance.
i
That idea of Rube Hoy's to do
y away with the expulsion of basket-
ball playcra after they've made
four fouls seems like a good one
I in severr.l ways.
A football player can be thrown
I out of a game for little short of
I mayhem, while a basketball man
mny make four little fouls, some
of them very unintentionally, and
I have to leave the gnme. As Hoy
finys, free throws ought to be
enough penalty.

Tonight at 7:30

12th and R Sts.
Falls City,
Jackson high
prep victors
Three favorites come
through to easy wins
in meet's first round
Falls City, defending state high
basketball champions, took an im
pressive 46 to 22 win from Albion
last night in their opening game.
Forward Don James sank eight
fielders and a free throw to lead
the scoring.
Grand Island got past Scotts
bluff 19 to 12 after trailing the
westerners 9 to 8 at the start of
the last quarter. Score at the half
time was 6 to 3, after the first
quarter ended 2 to 2. Both teams
missed shot after shot.
Lincoln got a scare for three
quarters from Schuyler before win
ning 35 to 28. Floyd Wilkinson,
star Red and Black center, came
into the game at the start of the
last quarter with Lincoln behind
22 to 21 and sparked his team
to victory. Lauer got nine points
for the winners; Vogt i ror
Schuyler.
McCook strong.
McCook proved too strong for
Omaha Benson and won 39 to 31,
after the Bunnies had pressed
nearly all the way, McCook
sparked by Carpenter, led 11 to 5
at the end of the first quarter,
trailed 19 to 18 at the half time,
and led 26 to 27 going into the fi
nal period.
Creignton Prep established liseii
as a strong contender for the state
class A basketball championship
yesterday afternoon as the Junior
Jays walloped Hastings 43-15 in
the tourney s opening game.
Jackson, a pre-tournament fa
vorite, won over Nebraska City,
33-21 in an uninteresting game,
Jackson was undr wraps, as Wal
do Winter, ace center played but
a few minutes.
Fremont built up an early lead,
but barely pulled away from Nor
folk, 27-26, in the best or yestcr
day afternoon's games. The Fre
mont team had led by 7 points
with but three minutes left.
Sidney wins.
Sidney's crew overpowered a
weak-looxmg North rlatte aggro
gation, 45-20, as they led all the
way in a rather raggedly played
game.
In the afternoon's Class B com
petition, Friend looked like a
threat as they subdued Benedict
in the session's high scoring
game. Fairmont tripped Cam
bridge, 40-25, and Klkhorn beat
Kim Creek, 28 to 16. Winnebago
showed flashes of good form as
they won over Humboldt, 32-20.
Class "B" scores last night, Min
atare 52, St. Francis of Humphrey
36: Culbertson 28, Calloway 20;
O'Neill 22, Oakdale 19; Harrison
29. Cuardian Anpel of West
roint 30.
Trumbull showed a good looking
team in beating Melbeta, 38-28, in
Class C competition. Grafton beat
Bushnell, 31-20, Bratton Union of
Humboldt beat O'Fallons of Her
shey, 29-18, and Thayer beat
Sacred Heart of Norfolk,
Class "C" scores: Assumption 25

Records of the men chosen for
the DAILY'S all Big Six basket
ball team speak for themselves,
but just to refresh your memories,
we'll review their accompusn-
ments.
Jimmy McNatt, Oklanomas
star forward, led the conference
scoring, and there's no reason
the world he shouldn't be
chosen. McNatt. it is true, was
shackled a night or two, but 126
points in ten conference games
ain't hay, even if he did get 30 of
them in a single contest. McNatt,
senior, has been all-conference
for three years, and it was cieaui
to the opposition u mey pui a
guard on McNatt who was slower
afoot than the Irishman. The boys
who could keep up with him held
his scoring efforts down but woe
was unto those who couldn't
Miller selected.
Ralph Miller, the Kansas junior,
came into his own this year. iuu
ler, the greatest player ever turned
out of a Kansas high school, has
been hampered by a bad knee
throughout his college days, re
spite the fact that his knee still
isn't any too strong, Miller finished
next only to McNatt in conference
scoring, and when his shots were
working, as they d!d a good share
of the time, he wns beautiful to
behold, especially if you were a
Kansan. Miller i3 no great snanes
on defense, but if you cm get
enough points you don't have to
worry about how many the other
mnn pets.
Herb Scheffler or OKianoma geis
a weak vote over Blaine Currence
of Missouri at center. It was
Rrheffier who kent the Sooners in
the race especially in the last half
of the season when he started
scoring. The big Illinois player is
a exeat rebound man. and a fine
defensive asset.
Allen Important cog.
Bob Allen of Kansas was the
balance-wheel of the Jayhawk
team. Allen was listed as a center,
hut could star at any position on
the floor. A son of Fhog, the old
virtuoso himself, Allen Is a highly-
polished and intelligent player,
with fine natural mechanical
ability to go with his quality of
leadershm and knowledge or tnc
era me.
John Lobsiger or Missouri, an
confcrcncc two years In a row, and
captain of the Tigers for two
years, is a great player. He
brought the Missouri team through
more than one hole this year, as
was exhibited by his cool perform
ance which alone sent Mizzou to
their one-noint victory over Ne
braska here. Lobsiger, a ball
hawking guard, was not an es
pecially high scorer, but wncn ne
took the scoring role, he didn't fail
the Tigers.
Held on seconds.
The Bccond team lists two Mis
sourlans. an Oklahoman and men
from Kansas and Nebraska. Kan
sas State and Iowa State relegated
to the honorable mention column,
although Gordon Nicholas came
back well for the Cyclones late
this vear.
Clav Cooper, the best forward
Missouri had; Marvin Mesch, who
reallv scintillates when he plays
forward; Currence, Dick Harp &nd
Sid Held of the Iluskcrs complete
the list. Harp has been an import
ant factor for the Jayhawk's sue
cess this year, while Held, out
standing sophomore of the Big Six
season, was mainly responsible for
what little success Nebraska had
all year. The two guards, though
were hard pressed by Dick Harp
Kansas ace. and Marvin Snod-
