NORMAN, Okla., Feb. 10 Oklahoma's fast-moving basketball
team Is regarding Its next test, the clat;h with Coach A. J. Lewandow
Bkl's Nebraska Cornhuskers here February 16, with something of a
Bhudder.
And no wonder. In Norman, Lewandowski's Nebraskans are
known as the team that can't play worth a darn until its gets 20
points behind.
Last year here the big boys in Scarlet put on the finest and
gamest last-half rally ever produced here in the memory of the eldest
fan to defeat an astonished Oklahoma team that led by 22 points at
one point of the last half.
30 10 Defeat.
Coach Bruce Drake's Sooners looked perfect the first 30 min
utes of the one-sided contest. They led 28 to 9 at one point in the
first half. And their savagery didn't end there. They came out for
the second half like an enraged Tennessee colonel looking for the
i guy who slurred his family, and drove the score up to 36-14 with five
minutes of the last half gone.
With only ten minutes left to play Oklahoma still led by 20 points,
37-17, and the crowd began to yawn and look around for its wraps.
Suddenly the big Nebraska team began to hit. Cold as an ice
locker pork chop in the first half, the Northerners made a funnel
out of the ring when they got going.
Aggressive Defense Works.
Also, Lewandowski ordered his men to pick the Sonners up all
over the court. This was smart strategy. It was the most aggressive
defense Oklahoma fans had ever seen. The Nebraskans would make
a goal, Oklahoma would throw the ball in, and the fighting Corn
huskers would either intercept the pass or take the ball away from
some Sooner and score again.
A couple of Nebraska substitutes, Young and Goetz, hit from all
over the floor in the final moments and the petrified Sooner spectators
sat stunned after the final gun exploded just two seconds after Young
had dunked a running one-hander from long range to give Nebraska
the victory 43-42. Oklahoma couldn't believe it had lost.
Lewandowski will bring to Norman practically the same hustling
squad that was in on that celebrated last-half kill, Fitzgibbon, Thomp
son, Livingston, Held and the unerring climax marksmen, Young and
Goetz.

Coach Charley Miller's improved
gymnastics team open their 1942
home season Thursday afternoon
at 4 o'clock on the Coliseum stage
with Minnesota furnishing the op
position. Miller's sophomores gained
plenty of experience the hard way
during their trip east and should
furnish the powerful Minnesota
crew some stiff competition. The
work of Collins McMaster and
Bobby Cooper lifted future hopes
for the sophmoric team. McMas
ter garnered high point honors for
the Huskers during the eastern
jaunt.
Total judges points for the dual
meets with Illinois, Indiana, South

ZBT Has Hopes.
Zeta Beta Tau will attempt to
break its two-game losing streak
and the DU two-game winning
streak when the two teams meet
tonight. The hot Sigma Nu team,
which wasn't quite hot enough to
defeat the DUs in the highest scor
ing contest thus far, will do its
best to break into the win column
by beating the undefeated Sam-
mys.
That is the situation of interfra
ternity basketball up to tonight.
