Nebraska basketball fans will
eee the premier of Big Six confer
ence play tonight when Nebraska
and Kansas State meet in the first
conference game of the present
Beason. This game opens a series
of games that will eventually de
cide the number one team in the
league.
Jack Gardner's wildcat team has
Just returned from a long trip into
the East where it played four
games. Altho not gaining much
in the matter of victories the team
did get valuable experience.
Nebraska with a record of two
wins against six losses will be a
Blight underdog in comparison with
the K-Stater's nonconference rec
ord of three wins offset by five
defeats.
Manhattan bests.
Tom Guy, a towering 6-3 sopho
more guard, and Jack Horacek, a
forward, are the best bets for the
Manhattan team. Guy is the high
scorer of a low-scoring team.
This Kansas team, that held
down fourth place in the final rat
ings last year, is strong on the de
fense but is lacking on offensive
point making. In six games it was
held to less than 34 points by its
opposition.
Held shifted.
For this game it is likely that
Sid Held, junior high scoring guard
will be shifted to the forward spot
in an effort to get a winning com
bination. Coach Chili Armstrong
Is looking for his first win since
he has taken over the reins of the
Cornhusker team.
On the record books the advant
age is given to Kansas State but
in view of their mediocre wins over
Doane and Washburn, Nebraska
Vill be the favorite.
Other games this week feature
Kansas at Oklahoma; Missouri at
Iowa State and later in the week
Kansas State tackles the Soonera.
At the end of these four games
cage fans will be able to get a
line on the strength of the various
Big Six teams.

column of the year 1941, Rose
Bowl experiences and after

recollection.
A better football slant could
never be observed than the New

Secco oval. Besides being the fin

thing to behold.

ALFSON HONORED.
Particularly outstanding in the
display was the use of movement
in the cards. For instance, a bust
of an Indian warrior was shown
with his hand moving in salute.
A flag also waved to add more
color.
Nebraska's Warren Alfson and
Stanford's Frankie Albert were
honored by the students. The dis
play pictured an American shield
with their names below. Alfson's
name appeared first and then a
flick of the cards made Albert's
come into view. The whole pro
gram was excellent.

The Huskers started slipping in

Minnesota did the dirty work.
Then the Huskers startedon their
three game conquest of the far

defeats at the hands of the Uni

then on Dec. 30 they lost to Ore

Latest damage to Husker pres

The Big Six teams' record in re
