Cornhuskers Bow Before
Fast Oklahomans. 44-17
BY DICK DILSAVER.
Nebraska was slow, Oklahoma
was fast. That appeared to be the
difference Wednesday night as
the Huskers bowed before a fast
breaking Oklahoma quintet by a
44-37 count. Though lacking the
usual height that former Sooner
squads have displayed, the Nor
man team made up for the lanki
ness with their quick breaks.
Though not hitting the basket
In usual style, Nebraska often ap
peared to be in form to defeat the
Sooners but the final count proved
otherwise.
UN Held Own.
iteorasxa Held her own
throughout the first half until
Oklahoma placed three baskets
one minute before the first period
ended and went into a 25-19 lead
The Cornhuskers held a 11-7 lead
up to midway through the first
half but then the Sooners started
coming up and the lead see-sawed
back and forth until the Sooner
spurt. From then on the game
was an UKianoma though there
was a late Nebraska rally with
but three minutes to go.
Scooter Hines was the Sooner
salvation as he twice broke loose
for set-ups with only 30 seconds

Wings Defeat
Hastings Navy
The playing was rough and the
Wings were too fast for the Has
tings Naval Depot as the local
G.I. fliers galloped past the
sailors, 65-28. The Wednesday
night feature at the coliseum was
the 13th victory of the season for
the Lincoln five.
Hastings Touch.
Despite the Wings' superiority,
the Hastings crew proved to be
capable ball handlers and hard
players. Perhaps a better show
ing would have been made if Tom
Murphy, George Stewart and
Hawk Hawkins had not been lost
by fouls. Murphy left the court a
few minutes before the first half
and Stewart and Hawkins were
fouled out midway through the
second canto.
of play remaining and clinching
the score. Despite being faster
than lightning, Hines did not ap
pear in the highly touted role that
early reports here had given him
The fast Oklahoman was re
sponsible for nine points, four of
these coming of the two late set
ups and another two but three
minutes before the final gun.
Rlly Begins.
The late Nebraska rally started
with Art Peterson laying in a set
up. This was followed up by Bob
Hahn and Hecox and then the
lanky Peterson hit again. It was
then that Hines raced for the
clinchers.
Coach Lewandowski substituted
freely in an attempt to set the
Huskers back in swing but to no
result.
Peterson was high scorer of the
evening with five field goals and
four charity tosses to account for
14 points. The lanky center was
followed by young Bob Hahn and
Sooner Lindenberg, each tallying
11 counters.
Nebraska spirit was lost in the
first half as Bob Koenig, Ed Stra-
han failed to hit the basket. Vet
eran Buzz Hollins was also hav
ing trouble in finding the net.
Next contest for the Huskers
will be next Monday night when
lowa btate invades Huskerland.
Featuring Monday's program will
be the high scoring Wings who
will meet Ottumwa Naval Air
Station.
Cornhuskers
Win but One
Holiday Tilt
Though students from the uni
versity were sitting comfortably
in their home towns throughout
Christmas vacation, Nebraska's
young basketeers were active
throughout the holidays. In five
games during the breathing spell
from books and college life, the
Scarlet team met victory only
once. Pentathlon university ot
Mexico City were the losers in
the Huskers lone and first victory.
Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois
were three Big Ten foes who each
successfully succeeded in down
ing the Cornhuskers. The other
game went to Kansas State, Big
Six darkhorse.
Hahn Leads Scoring.
Bob Hahn has kept the lead
among Husker scorers with bi
points in the seven games of the
season. Close behind the young
Fremont eager is gangling Art
Peterson who has tallied 61 times.
Next in line come Jim Strahan
with 50, Bob Koenig with 41, vet
eran Buzz Hollins scoring 36, and
Costello with 28.
Team average for the Corn
huskers is 45 points plus through
out the seven game schedule. Op
ponents against the Scarlets have
made an average of almost 56
points. Next competitor for the
Nebraskans will be Iowa State.
