Team Preps
For Coming
Jaunt South
Meet Missouri
In Return Tilt
Preparing for this week end's
southward jaunt and an attempt
to revenge their defeat by Mis
souri last Saturday night, Husker
cagers stressed offensive forma
tions in practice sessions Monday
and Tuesday.
The Scarlet will meet Missouri
at Columbia Saturday night be
fore journeying northward for a
Monday night clash with the loop
leading Iowa State Cyclones, and
Coach Ad Lewandowski is plan
ning a week of hard practice ses
sions to ready his club for the
jaunt. Monday night s work-out
was light, but Tuesday found the
Huskers driving through a hard
session, with the emphasis on of
fensive formations.
Lew's disappointment at the loss
to the Tigers Saturday was great.
"We would have been tied for
third place in the conference if
we had won," said Lew. "Now
we re in fifth place, and Missouri
has the psychological edge on us
in our game this Saturday. If the
boys show a little more stability
and cool headedness, however,
we'll have a good chance of turn
ing the tables on the Tigers."

Nebraska's :5(i-:V2 over-lime loss 1o Missouri Saturday dealt
a real body blow to llusker hopes in t lie conference. Dropped
to fifth place by the defeat, the Scarlet will have an uphill
fight to belter their position by the lime final league standings
arc compiled.
Their jaunt this coming- week end promises to be rougn,
for Saturday night finds them meeting- Missouri at Columbia
and Monday will bring them against Iowa State's Cyclones
at Ames.. The Tigers will have the advantage of playing- on
their home floor Saturday and will be battling hard to main
tain their toe-hold in the first division. The Cyclones, fresh
from their 41-39 win over Oklahoma at Norman last Satur
day, hold first spot in the conference and appear to pack far
too much scoring punch for Nebraska,
Siuh exhibitions of poor taste as have marred the half
hue intermission at Nebraska's last two basketball 'games at
he coliseum present U.N. athletic fans in a most unfavorable
ioht At both the Kansas State and Missouri panics, a small
group of spectators, obviously infantile in their conception of
entertainment, tossed pennies and other small change onto the
playing lloor at halt-time in order to watch the crowd 01
youngsters who invariably hover about the floor scurry after
the coins. The youngsters can't be blamed for running after
the money, but those over-grown youngsters in the stands who
threw the coins are certainly open to criticism for such child
ish actions.
Aside from its inherent infantilism, such a practice is
exceedingly dangerous, for a player might easily slip on one
of the coins and take a serious tumble. Such poor sports
manship, too, creates a bad impression in the minds of op
posing teams, who carry back to their home states the idea
that U.N. athletic fans are an ill bred, badly behaved lot.
The truth is that Husker fans in general are tops in sports
manship, but the childish actions of a small minority give all
Nebraska fans a black eye.
Crucial Tourney Fray
Pits Against Co. C
C Company's league-leading bas
keteers will tangle with a strong
B Company quintet tomorrow
night at 6:30 in the deciding game
of the second round army tourney.
In their first meeting, back in Oc
tober, the C-men topped the
Hustlers, 34 to 23; but in the first
round of army competition, Com
pany B nosed out the blue team,
37-28, to win first place honors.
Tomorrow's game will be their
third contest and will be a nat
ural "grudge fight" to decide who's
best in local hoop circles.
Currently leading the pack with
a 3 and 0 record, Company C needs
to topple the boys in green to win
the title. B Company lost their
last intramural venture to an im
proved Air Corps five, 49-39, while
"C" nosed out the 348th crew, 28
to 26, in the first game of this
round.
"B" Starters.
''B's" attack is led by former
CCNY great, Bob Scheer. The
lanky center, always reliable de
fensively, has been the team's
leading play-maker, and recently
has been hitting the double figures
consistently. Bunny Fuller, second
high scorer in the league last
round, is another mainstay of the
Green's offense. Close on the heels
of Scheer and Fuller for B Com
pany individual scoring honors
this round is Charlie Suchy, with
a 9-point-a-game average. Doug
Brady, dependable set shot artist
and a good deefnsive ball player;
and burly Ellis Jessen, who is
plenty tough off the boards, com
plete the contenders' probable
starting line-up.
Center for the Blue Wave will
be the current league high-scorer
Cliff Lind, former DePaul varsity
player. Shifty, driving Milt Dobrer,
who was born with a basketball
in his hands, will be in there fight
ing at one forward post, along
with native son John Bottorf,
whose on-'-handed push shot is
poison from anywhere around the
foul circle. Chuck Burdette, a
good man off the defensive back
board, and possessor of a nice eye
for set-shots is slated for one
guard. Steady Al Burnstein, pillar
of the team's defensive strength,
and always good for 8 or 10 poirts,
will line' up at the other guard
position.
Raiders Nipped Both
Both teams met the top service
team in this section of the coun
try, the Air Base Raiders, recently
B Company sticking till the last
few minutes, only to lose 53-42;
while Company C battled the tal
ented Base quintet on even terms,
losing out in the last two minutes
47-45. This game should be the
best of the Army tournament
games to date both teams gun
ning for the win which will feive
them the edge in the series.
The starting whistle will blow
at 6:30 sharp tomorrow night in
the Coliseum.
Iowa Hawks Top Big Ten;

series' to make it seven straight
