Fricfay, D'ecomKer 6, 1946 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN DeDitLDiriEir By George Miller After one showing, this year's Nebraska basketball team appears to be a well balanced aggregation as far as the first five is con cerned.

Just how far the Huskers can get with a top notch first five is another matter. This year every major college in the land is flooded with bright prospects, and a flashy starting lineup can be displayed by many teams.

Aside from the scoring of Al Kirlin there was little to praise in" the performances of the second, third and fourth combinations which Coach Harry Good sent into the fray; although the third string unit consisting of Kirlin, Bob Means, Dale Livingston. Bob Korte and Paul Shields flashed Signs of promise . A few late entries in the realm of All American selections are a bit off the beaten path.
