Varsity Crew Outsoores
Freshmen, 61-14; Coach
Drills Squad for Opener
BY BOB MILLER.
Riding roughshod over a fight
ing frosh team yesterday after
noon in the coliseum, Coach Ad
Lewandowski'a varsity cagers
hung on a decisive 61-14 hiding as
they pepped for their opening tilt
Friday evening against South Da
kota. Lew gave his charges a full
game of practice with regulations
governing the play all the way
thru. The frosh, under the tutor
ship of Coach Paul Amen, were
hopelessly outclassed, sinking but
two baskets during the entire con
test. Entire Squad Performed.
The entire varsity squad was
given an opportunity to show what
they could do under fire and all
of them turned in a good account
of themselves. The seniors and
returning lettermen carried the
brunt of the battle for the first
part but were followed up ably by
the sophomore members.
Sid Held was the scoring leader
for the entire fray with his three
buckets and three extra points giv
ing him nine points. Second hon
ors were shared by two sopho
mores, Allen Artman and Bobby
Bramson, who filtered three bas
kets apiece thru the net for six
points each.
Third Place With Five. ,
There were three others who
tied for third honors with five
points each: Les Livingston, War
ren Marquis and Bob Heinzelman.
Mentor Lewandowski used 18
players in the 40 minute game,
while in opposition Amen used 16
of his frosh in a vain attempt to
stem the tide.
The freshmen were kept busy
on defense most of the time and
did not get much chance to show
anything in the way of an of
fense. Baskets by Don Andreson
and Fred Cassidy were separated
by the half while ten free throws
accounted for the rest of the scor
ing. Connie Healy scored two
points via the free throw line to
tie for top scoring honors in a
doubtful sense of the word.
Coach-Pleaser.
The game proved several things
to the coaches who watched the
show. The first was that ball
handling on the part of the var
sity was spotty with occasional
wild passes marring the exhibi
tion of scoring power. Teamwork
and timing showed a need for im
provement with play in under the
basket looking ragged at times.
But in spite of all this, "basket
eyes" were improving considering
the earhness in the season. The
lack of height on the part of the
varsity crew was well hidden due
to increased speed on the part of
the " short guys on the squad.
Sodak Team Awaited.
The South Dakota team, beaten
previously by Minnesota, 56-35,
will invade Huskerland on Friday
to inaugurate the 1941-42 cage
season. On the starting lineup
for the Sodaks will be Smith and
Solberg at forward; Taplett and
Ebert at guard and LeMaster at
center.

bon, Thompson, Goetze, Held, Liv
ingston. Young, Bottorff, Marquis,
King, Vacanti, Hay, Gribble, El
son, Heinzelman, Artman, Eram-

A Comparative Score
Strength of South Dakota,
Husker's foes on Friday evening,
can in some way be ascertained by
com parative score. . . . Monday
evening, Coacjj Rube Hoy's bas
keteers invaded the Minnesota
Gopher's home court and suffered
a 56-35 lacing at the host's hands.
. . Previously, the Gophers had de
feated Millikin, a comparatively
unknown college, by a score that
approximated the Sodak trounc-
uigs.
Coach Ad Lewandowski knows
nothing more cf the invading team.
"All I know is that they played
Minnesota Monday night and got
beat," was Lew's comment. . .They
were tough last year in the sea
son's opener with the Huskers as
they managed to win a 40-39 de
cision after two overtime periods.
But there was a difference
between the 1940-41 team and the
present contingent.
Let's Analyze
At the forward spots on the first
team, the two Johns of the letter-
men will probably get to start....
Fitzgibbon and Thompson, short
in stature, have a fast break and
are good at working the ball in to
the basket Thompson stands
5-10 and Fitzgibbon pushes the
mark up to 5-11.. . .Goetze has the
nroad for a starting berth at cen
ter due in great measure to his
past experience and due to his
height, 6-1. ...At the starting
guard posts will more than likely
be Held and Young.... At 6-4, Held
is the tallest eager out followed
closely by Young at 6-3.
Speed for Height
It looks to us like this cage
team will be sacrificing speed for
height. . .There are no 6-7 Al
Randall's on hand and no 6-4 i
Don Fitz's but at the same time
there is speed present the like of
which was not seen on last year's
team Outstanding sophomores
are veering into the spotlight and
it will not be a strange thing to
see them pulling many games out
of the proverbial bag this winter.
More Experience
Last season Mentor Harold
Browne, now on leave in the army,
was faced with few experienced
men.... Four lettermen formed the
Bengtson Speaks
To Crete Women
Dean N. A. Bengtson, head of
the Junior Division, addressing
joint meeting of the Crete Busi
ness Women's League and the
Association of University Women,
spoke on the subject, "Latin Amer
ica and Hemisphere Defense." He
discussed the geographic phases of
defense in middle America where
interest centers on the Panama
Canal. Over 100 people heard the
address given in the Crete city
hall Monday night.
The placement bureau of Be

lege has placed 96.4 percent of all
candidates for position in the last
five years.

Not a Good Record.
The present squad will not have
to go far to match their imme
diate predecessors in the matter
of wins.... Last year the Husker
eager left the maples victorious
only eight times in 18 tries
They won six of their ten confer
ence games but in games outside
the conference they were forced to
accept defeat six out of eight
times.. . .This is the record that
looms as the goal of this edition
and we will be very much sur
prised if they don't turn in a much
more impressive season for it may
be the last one for a while.
