Cornhusker fans will be in for
one of the biggest basketball treats
of the season tonight, when Coach
Thog Allen of Kansas brings his
Kansas Jayhawks to Lincoln for
a Big Six clash with the Huskers
at 8 p. m. on the coliseum maples.
Klein Well.
Nebraska mentor Pop Klein
has recovered from his illness
and will be on the bench direct
ing the Huskers against Charlie
Black and company.
The Jayhawks are ranked as
the top team in the loop, and
are currently ahead in the con
ference race with two wins and
no defeats. In addition, the Kan
sans won the informal Big Six
tourney held in December at
Kansas City.
In an effort to shake the
Huskers from the lackadasical
style of play which has been
prominent in their recent starts,
Klein has juggled the starting
lineup.
Korte at Center.
Bob Korte of Fairbury will
open at the center post, and let
terman Fred Hecox will start at
one forward position if his ankle
injury, which kept him from mak
ing the Oklahoma trip, has healed
sufficiently. If Hecox is not
ready, Mac Robinson, Norfolk all
stater last year, will get a chance
to start.
The remainder of the Husker
lineup will be the same, with
NRO Joe Brown, leading scorer,
at the other forward ,and burly
Leo Schneider and Jim Sandsted
at the guard positions.
During: their drills this week,
the Nebraskans have worked
against KU plays, in an effort to
halt the scoring- onslaught of
Charley Black and Otto Schnell
backer. Wednesday night the Jayhawks
had difficulty slipping past the
pesky Kansas State Wildcats, for
the K-Staters completely bottled
up Schnellbacker and held Black
to eight points. Only a scoring
spree by reserve forward Gil
Stramel pulled the KU five out of
danger ,as the game ended with
Kansas in front 39 to 26.
UN Won Last Year.
Last year the Huskers were
able to mark up their only con
ference victory of the year here
in Lincoln when they upset the
Jayhawks 59 to 45, and the
Scarlet will be out to repeat this
trick tonight.
Black is definitely the key to
the KU scoring machine, and as
the husky forward goes, so go
the Jayhawks. He was an AU
American in 1942, and was chosen
as an All-Big Six forward in '42
and '43. The 6 foot 4 inch star
specializes in rebounds and will
give the towering Nebraska de
fense men a busy evening.
On the other side of the rec
ord, Nebraska will be able to
field a sky-scraping team, as
Korte, Schneider and Sandsted
are all well over the 6 foot mark,
and Brown stands an ewn 6 feet.
In reserve, Klein has gangly Bus
Whitehead, a 6 foot 7 inch center,
as well as Don Barry and Chuck
Mulvaney, who combine scoring
ability with their height.
Nebraska fans will see a fa
miliar figure on the Kansas bench,
for Art Peterson, leading: Ne
braska scorer last year, should be
on hand to perform if Coach Allen
beckons.
