DAILY NEBRASKAN
Deep In the Heart of Texas
This little swing ditty is the theme of the Oklahoma baseball
team ... It seems that Indian winter or something set in down at
Norman and so they are leaving for a five game Invasion of Texas at
the end of the week ... It can't happen here . . . The weather down
south In soonerland accoring to Glen Presnell Is warm enough so
that they can start spring grid practice in the middle of February
and outside at that . . . The Husker baseballers will head Coach Ad
Lewandowski's clarion caH next Monday.
Dirty Playing?
Missouri seems to have gained the reputation of the conference
for dirty playing . . . The Tigers established a new Big Six mark
for personal fouls committed against conference competition this
season . . . The new mark of 162 exceeded the mark that was held by
Kansas of 141 .. . Kansas turned in two new records with 52.1 ave
rage on offense this season against conference competition . . . They
also established the high mark of 212 field goals during the con
ference season.
Rettraction
Due to the insistence of several "sports bounds", we are forced
to retract a statement made in yesterday's column . . . Bobby Ginn
will not get to meet Campbell Kane of Indiana for supremacy in the
mile at the Butler relays this week end ... It seems that there is no
mile event and that the reason that Ginn is going back is to compete
in the relay or at another distance . . . Does that square things' up?
Scrimmage Due
If everything goes right, we can get ready for a scrimmage
session on the practice field Saturday . . . The scrimmage if It does
mature will be held in the afternoon and gates will probably swing
pen . . . When Major Jones was here, it was an unfailing rule that
the gates were closed throughout the practice sessions . . . rresneii
has a different slant and a pretty good one, too.
tY K. at Times
The practice of closing the gates when sometthing that is vital
f to Husker offensive plans Is being developed is all right in our books
but is looks better when university students are permitted to view
wnrk nut In all Drotoability the scrimmage Saturday w ll provide
a pretty interesting sideline on the ability of the Husker grid hopefuls
as a whole.
Mnnt Pons Dry
Husker Harold Hunt pops up again and this time it has to do
with a new record that he is shooting for . . . If he can climD tne
o harrier at the Butler relays he will hold the world's title on an
indoor dirt track . . . BiH Smutz is slated to show off his prowess
in the hurdle events ... The distance was the 70 yard highs and the
time was 7.3 seconds.
Omaha Lincoln
High Schools
Vie for Crown
Metropolitan high schools will
battle tonight for the right to
reach the finals of the state meet.
The four seeded fives: Creighton
Prep, Lincoln Central, Omaha
SouU and Lincoln Northeast ran
true to the dope sheet with their
respective victories.
Prep 27; McCook 21.
After battling on even terms
with Prep during the first half, the
fighting McCook five yielded to
the power of the Creighton Prep
quintet The score at the inter
mission was 18-15 In Prep s favor.
During the second half Rex Barney
and his mates began to click and
by the time the final gong sounded
the Omahans were sporting a 27:21
lead. Barney with 11 points lead
the winners while Kelley topped
the losers with six counters.
Lincoln Central 55; York 39.
Tall Don MacArthur tallied 22
points while leading his mates to
a 55-39 trouncing over a fighting
York outfit. It was Lincoln Cen
tral all the way. After a 25-17
lead at the intermission, Lincoln
clinched the contest during the last
half. Myers with 12 points kept
the York team in the game.
South 38; North Platte 26.
Omaha South waited till the last
stanza before applying the needed
pressure for a 38-26 triumph over
North Platte. After playing three
quarters of nip and tuck ball, the
Packers behind Sandstedt and Nas-
ular ran rough shod over their opponents.
Northeast 25; Columbus 20.
Rex Mercer's two quick baskets
with less than a minute to play
turned apparent defeat into vic
tory as Northeast rapped Colum
bus 25-20 in the thriller of the
evening. Long with six tallies
paced the winners and Potter with
7 pointers was best for the Co
lumbus aggregation.

4Us' Roberts Likes Crowds
That Have Plenty of Spirit
... OK's Husker Fans
NORMAN, Okla., March 12
Even if they are riding him, A. D.
Ug" Roberts, Oklahoma's dis
heveled junior floor captain, likes
his basketball crowds noisy.
"You can play better ball if the
bugs are letting it out," opines
Roberts, "When a crowd is quiet,
you don't feel like hustling."
Roberts says the Nebraska stu
dent spectators are good jockeys
and come down on the court after
the game to congratulate visiting
players. He says the elder fans do
this at Ames but not the students.
' He described Kansas crowds as
"pretty wild, especially the kids on
the stage," and he believes Mis
souri throngs are quietest during
free throws.
Roberts declares, with a grin,
that Kansas State has the wildest
student fans in the Big Six confer
ence. "When we played at Manhattan
this year, I was going in fast for

stop myself, ran off the floor
between two sections or tne

... 11 Man Squad
High stakes ride on the capable
backs of 11 of Coach Ed Weir's
track and field performers this
weekend as the squad attempts to
capture the team title in the But

Harold Hunt will make an at
tempt to set a new world's record
in the pole vault with a 14 foot

ord. The record would be for a dirt
track runway.

absent. A bunch of Kansas State
students, some of them wearing
'K' sweaters, were holding me
down behind the bleachers. It took
me 15 seconds to fight my way
loose.
Roberts says Iowa State's
"Shifty Section," a body of more
than 100 hand-picked student bugs
who sit up stairs in the tiny Cy
clone gym and ride the enemy hot
shot all throught the game, is the
best organized group of razzers he
ever saw.
