UN mermen yet unbeaten;
submerge Oklahoma, 61-23
By Bob Miller.
Appearing somewhat tired from
two previous swimming meets this
week, but not tired enough to show
the University of Oklahoma any
leniency, Coach Pete Hagelin's
swimming team copped their third
consecutive conference swim ver
dict 61-23 at the Sooners' expense.
The meet held yesterday after
noon in the coliseum pool defi
nitely proved the Huskers superi
ority in the Big Six conference, a
superiority that will finally be de
termined when all the Big Six
teams gather in Lincoln Feb. 28
and March 1 for the champion
ships. Nebraska topk eight of the nine
first places to roll up the largest
score of its present season. In the
event that the Huskers did not
take first, the 200 yard back
stroke, La Roy Foster, Nebraska
lelterinan, was just one stroke
away from a win to provide the
several hundred fans with the
closest race of the day.
Lea Oldlleld bettered the 150
yard back stroke record as ex-r-cctod
with 1:44.8. Ralph Worden
and Bill Hull Bwept the diving but
with higher totals than either had
acquired during the previous
meets. Bill Edwards was the only
double winner of the meet, taking

NEW YORK CITY. Bob Sim
mons, Husker quartermiler, made
his first start on the eastern board
circuit an auspicious one, Satur
day night, when he placed first in
the Burmeyer 500 yard run in
Madison Square Garden.
The former Big Six three-time
440 yard dash champion led from
the start of the race and was
never headed, altho he finished a
yard in front of Fordham's Johnny
Campbell, the latter a stride ahead
of the favored Jimmy Herbert of
New York.

Overcoming an 8-7 half time
deficit, the Angels spurted Thurs
day night to swamp Husker Inn
23-16 in the first barb quarterfinal
game. The Angel cagers were hot
the second half, with Wayne Kel
logg potting six points to run his
game total to 11. Marv and Al
Grubaugh connected for six points
each for Husker Inn, while Tate
Lewis tallied a like number for
the winners. Clair Miller led the
Angels with a nice floor game.

III championship, with a 16-13
conquest of the Termites, the
teams having been tied for the
top with three wins and one loss
each. Pioneer led by 10-6 at the
half, but the Termites closed the
gap in short order. With the
score at ten-all and five min
utes remaining, the lead changed
hands four times before a free
throw by Nets Nordland and a
bucket by Carl Atkison enabled
the Co-op to pull away. Atkison,
with eleven points, led Pioneer
firsts in both the 50 and 100 yard
free style events.

to victory over the welt-balanced
Termites.
One quarter-final game was
postponed, due to a mixup In
league I. AEI copped the duke
during the regular season, but
their claim was contested on
grounds that they used ineligible
players when they beat Brown
Palace, second-place winner dur
ing the schedule. Brown Palace
was declared the winner, and AEI
promptly filed a counter-protest,
since the ineligible men they used
were officially members of the
AEI team who had played on other
teams. So, to settle all claims,
once and for all, a playoff between
the two teams was declared.
Her the AEI team repeated
Its earlier victory, squeezing
eut a tight 20-19 win. Holding
scaring champ Dean Pretsly to
five points, AEI won only after
a battle, with the lead alternat
ing throughout. Bill Anderson,
with four field goals, and War
ren MarqulM, playing a nice
floor game, paced AEI, while
Paul Kock and Wayne Slndt
dominated the play of the losers.

Michigan State didn't have
much trouble tieing Nebraska's
wrestling team into collective
knots in the coliseum Friday aft
ernoon as the East Lansing boys
won their sixth straight dual
meet, 27-3.
The only thing that saved the
Huskers from a shutout was
Heavyweight Herb Jackman. The
"Big Boy" and his 260 pounds
were too much for the Michigan
State heavy, Mike Dendrinos, and
Jackman smother the latter for
the decision.
This marked Nebraska's fifth
loss in five matches thus far this
season. The Huskers lost three
matches by falls and four by deel-
