Only a half minute of playing

The first half provided the
margin of victory since the hosts
got in a torrid scoring vein to
roll up 21 points to the victors' 15.
Soon after both teams resumed
the floor for the second canto, the
Huskers showed that they had had
something injected in them in the
form of new scoring ability and
for a while it looked like the

Phog Predicts
Big Six Result
Ahead Time
LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 2.
"Without any doubt, the Big Six
basketball race this year will end
in a tie," is the opinion of Dr.
F. C. Allen, University of Kan
sas coach.
"The league is getting tougher
every year," says Allen, who points
to the number of ties in recent
years as an indication of the trend.
K. U. and Nebraska.
In 1937 Kansas tied with Ne
braska for the cage championship.
The next year the Jayhawks won
the title outright, but three
straight ties have followed. In
1939 it was Missouri and Okla
homa; in 1940 Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma; and last year Kan
sas and Iowa State.
Despite his team's loss to Iowa
State, Allen is not discouraged
about prospects. "For one thing,"
he says, "this 1942 squad has a
wonderful morale. In addition,
Ray Evans is coming into his own,
after a slow start and Ralph Mil
ler is standing out now with his
passing and floorwrk, rather than
strictly as a shooter.
Howe got hot on his shot to put
the game on ice. Kenny Elson
came down the floor with the ball
in his possession and as soon as
he reached mid-court he let fly.
The ball nestled through the nets
as the game ended to provide the
relatively small crowd with a
game for their money.
Larry Beaumont, K State guard,
ran away with individual scoring
honors for the fray as he con
tributed 12 points to the total.
Howe did not let him win undis
puted honors, potting 12 points
on his own hook.
Horacek Stars Defensively.
Jack Horacek and Bruce Hol
man turned in good defensive
games along with scoring neces
sary points on the offense.
For Nebraska, the scoring priv
ileges were well apportioned with
three Huskers pouring in the same
number for high point honors. Sid
Held, more on the "defensive than
otherwise, got six points as did
both Kenny Elson and John Bot
torff, sophomore prospects. John
Thompson racked up five points
to rank next.
Cagers Stand Pat.
The loss does not throw the
Huskers into the cellar for in fact
they stay in the same position.
Leading the Big Six parade with
four wins and a single loss are
both Oklahoma and Kansas U.
Iowa State has three wins and two
losses and now Nebraska has two
wins and three losses.

sult of last night's game have

Menzc Thinks
Big Six Teams
Well Balanced
Iowa Squad Drops UN
Previously: On Guest List
For Saturday Night Fray
AMES, Iowa. Feb. 2. "We've
seen them all but Kansas State
and I think it's the best balanced
basektball season in years," is the '
way Louis Menzc, Iowa State Col
lege coach, feels about the current
Big Six race.
"The entire league is so evenly
matched," continued the Cyclone
mentor, "that no team dares be
the slightest bit off its game. In
fact, if a team doesn't play a little
over its head it may wind up on
the short end of the score. The
team that's hitting is the team
that's going to win the game."
And the Iowa state coach should
know whereof he speaks. Leaving
Ames last week in first place, the
Cyclones returned from games
with Missouri and Oklahoma in
fourth.
"We played one great game and
lost," Menze explained, "and we
played a poor one and lost.
Against Missouri, which reached
its best performance of the year,
we were definitely below par. But
against Oklahoma we gave every
thing we had and found Bruce
Drake's boys just too hot to
handle."
With only a few sessions in
which to prepare for the Saturday
night game with second division
Nebraska, Menze is not planning
any radical changes in the Cyclone
lineup. He indicated in scrim
mage sessions that he was seek
ing more strength, both on offense
and defense, but did not feel the
need of much shifting of men.
One man, however, did appear
to be rearing a chance at a start
ing spot. , Menze indicated that
Rollin Kuebler, sophomore from
Carroll would see lots of action.
Kuebler, the Cyclone coach said,
played great ball the entire second
half against Oklahoma.

Turiddu and Lola. Turiddu turns
to Santuzza in his first grief, but
he does not love her.
Climax of the opera comes
when Alfio discovers his wife's
unfaithfulness and he agrees to a
duel with Turriddu to vindicate
his honor. Consumed by a mortal
hate, the two prepare for a duel
to the death and only one of the
two men can live.
"Intermezzo," played in the mid
dle of the opera, is the most out
standing piece in "Cavelleria
Rusticana," but much of the other
music is familiar in many churches
at Easter tide.
