THE NEBRASKAN
u ;
Two Teams
Meet Here
Saturday
Fresh from a southward excur
sion which saw them drubbed by
K. U. and nudged by Oklahoma in
see-saw contest, Husker cagers
irove through hard practice ses
sions Wednesday and Thursday in
preparation for their tussle with
the Golden Gophers of Minnesota
n Coliseum boards Saturday
night. The Gophers will be a
rough foe for the victory-starved
Scarlet basketeers, who proved in
their near-upset of Oklahoma that
they are capable of top-notch bas
ketball. Realizing that his charges will
be in for a long evening against
the trainee-spil.ed Minnesotans,
Saturday. Coach Ad Lewandowski
pushed the Huskers through long
scrimmages both Wednesday and
Thursday. Defense received parti
cular attention, with the Scarlet
drilling hard on their customary
man-to-man formations.
Showing Pleases Lew.
Lewandowski was pleased with
the Huskers' performance on their
southward jaunt, particularly with
their heads-up play against the
highly-favored Sooners. "The boys
were using their heads and driving
hard against Oklahoma," said
Lew. "Al Hartman's fouling out
earlv in the second half hurt our
chances, and so did the fact that
both Buzz Hollins and Bob Tange-
man had three fouls charged
against 'thorn through most of the
second pc riod." Losing Tom
Dworak. Doug Nelson, and Elza
Kuhlman, all of whom returned to
Lincoln after the K. U. game,
weakened the squad considerably
for the Oklahoma fracas, accord
jng to Lew. .
'The boys did a fine job against
both Kansas and Oklahoma," as
sorted Coarh Lewandowski, "and
they came back from the trip a
smarter, tougher, more expe
rience.! hall club." "We'll be driv
ing hard for a victory over Minne
sota Saturday night."

Sig Chi's-Beta's.
The Sig CM-Beta game was
evenly matched as far as floor

came to baskets, the Sig Chi's
had the advantage. The first half
was close all the way, with the
score 14 to 1 in favor of the Beta's
at intermission.
The second half started with the
Sig Chi's dropping shots in from
all over the floor, and they soon
had a wide margin. The Beta's
began to tire, as they had no sub
stitutes available. The Sig Chi's
continued to hit the hoops while
the Beta's were having1 tough
luck on their shots. The Beta's
started to cage some shots and
the margin narrowed, but the
gong sounded before they could
close the gap. The score stood. 31
to 28, with the Beta's the under
dogs. Pinney led the scoring for
the Beta's with 16 points, and

Track Squad
Works Daily
With the first meet of the in
door season less than a month
away, Conch Ed Weir's Husker
trackmen are working out daily
on the oval under the east sta
dium. Several men have answered
Coach Weir's recent call for can
didates, but many more recruits
are needed, according to Weir.
Boys starting now, says Ed, will
still have time to round into shape,
but time is growing short.
The Scarlet cinder men will get
their first taste of competition
Feb. 19, when Oklahoma and
Kansas State track squads jour
ney to Lincoln to tangle with the
Huskers in triangular competition.
The meet will be scored as a dual
contest between the various
schools, in addition to being tal
lied on a triangular basis.
Feb. 26 will find the Nebraska
squad hitting the road for Kan
sas City for the Big Six indoor
meet. At present, all conference
schools plan to enter teams in the
annual indoor get-together, but
Nebraska, Kansas State, and
Missouri the schools with all-civilian
squads will have a tough
time fielding aggregations strong
enough to cope with the trainee
spiked teams from Oklahoma,
Iowa States, and Kansas. Inex
perienced men, most of them
never having tasted intercollegi
ate competition, will have to bear
the brunt of the load for the
Huskers, Wildcats, and Tigers.

My plea for sports reporters
was answered yesterday when
Rex Stotts( an expert of long
standing in affairs athletic, of
fered his services. After the rest
of the "rag" staff revived me and
gave assurance that it was not
all a dream, I welcomed Rex to
the sports staff and padlocked him
to his desk. Just let him try to get
away now!
The sports staff still needs re
porters, however. Any other male
students who know that a squeeze
play does not necessarily involve
a boy and a girl and a park-bench
and can write a story that even
Mabel (there's that woman again!)
can understand are urged to re
port to the sports department (the
desk in the corner) in the "rag"
room in the basement of the
Union. Girls who are good sports
will be welcome, too. (How about
you, Mabel?)
Ad Lewandowski, Husker cage
coach, proved himself an able
prophet last week. Before the
court squad's departure on the
southward trin last week-end. Lew
predicted that the Scarlet could
make the going tough ior,eitner
K, U. or Oklahoma if the boys
started driving harder and hitting
a better pcr-cent of their shots.
The Huskers did just that against
the Sooners Monday night and
threw a mighty scare into the
Oklahomans before bowing, 45-35.
If Lew's boys continues their
hustle and heads-up ball-playing
this weekend against the Golden
Gophers of Minnesota, the game
should be a real rouser. The Goph
ers have a fast, scrappy ball club
which has a win over Iowa State
to its credit, but the Huskers can
cause them plenty of headaches.
Odds and Ends: Wayne Blue,
Nebraska footballer and trackman
who left school to enter the Army
Air Corps, is rumored to be due
for a visit to Lincoln soon. Wayne
has been piloting a P-38 fighter
plane through the thick of the
Italian campaign and is reportedly
set for a return home.
The Iowa Seahawks avenged
their early season loss .to Iowa
State when they clipped the Cy
clones by a 33-27 count at Iowa
City Monday night.
Chicago's sad Maroons suffered
their forty-third consecutive Big
Ten defeat last Saturday at the
hands of the University of Illinois,
who romped to a 69-32 victory.
Price rvokfield leads the Iowa
State cagesiers in scoring with a
12.6 average for each of the five
games he has played.
Hustlers Clash
With Raiders
The Lincoln Air Base Raiders,
fresh from their 50-44 revenge
victory over the Doane Tigers at
Crete Tuesday night, clash wf.i
Company B at the Coliesum Sat
urday night in a curtain-raiser to
the Nebraska-Minnesota contest.
The clash should be a tight one,
for both the Raiders and Hesler's
Hustlers boast strong aggrega
tions. The Raiders, led by ex-Harlem
Globe Trotter "Goose" Tatum,
romped over a strong Company C
team last Saturday, and have lost
only to Doane, a defeat which they
avenged by clipping the Tigers
Tuesday. Company K, undefeated
in intramural play, boasts several
ex-coliege stars, including Bob
Scheer of C.C.N.Y. and Bunny Ful
ler of the University of Maryland.
Joe Tom, Chicago,. Illinois, is
the only student who is attending
Hastings College on a scholarship
offered by a foreign country. Joe
obtained his scholarship from the
Chinese fund which was set aside
to educate Chinese students in
America. According to Joe, a
board of his own country's offi
cials decided whether a student is
worthy of such a scholarship.
On the girls' intramural front,
the big news is the fact that bas
ketball will start very soon. Intra
mural representatives must have
their team lists at the WAA office
by noon Saturday, January 22.
Volley ball is rolling along. Most
of the second round games have
been completed and the finals will
be coming up soon.
