On Saturday Night Just returned from the wars on the hardwoods of Indiana and Kentucky, Coach Lewandowski's Huskers basketball squad worked late last night In preparation for their face-off with the Bruins from U.C.L.A. on the coliseum court tomorrow night at 8 p. m. Nebraska, with two losses in three starts, will be making its sec ond appearance of the season in the home town, while U. C. L. A. comes to Lincoln with a record of one win and three losses. Both Good Teams. "They were both good ball clubs," Lew stated, commenting on the eastern losses, "and Indiana had a lot of height and certainly a lot of speed. The basketball team over there gets into shape by doing cross-country running." In the Kentucky game, the Hunkers went into the second half with a 16 to jkl5 lead, but when the game ended rfiie Wildcats had chalked up 27 second half points to the visitors' 11 points. The Uclans also won their open ing game as they topped their Btrong Iis Angeles neighbor, 39 36. Heading east, the Bruin five's fortunes fell. The Californians dropped a game with Creighton university's team in Omaha in a 34-18 thumping last weekend and fell before Purdue's Boilermaker cagers 37-28 on Wednesday night. Last night the same Hoosier team that beat Nebraska by 27 points rolled over Coach Wilbur John's west coast aggregation, to leave the Uclans with three losses in four starts. ' ' Fitzgibbon is Out.

Senior guard Larry Littler, at 6-2, is another veteran, and John Fryer, junior center who stands four inches over the six footmark and tips the scales at 200 pounds will also require special attention.
