Claude Retherford, Nebraska for ward, leads Big Six scorers in con ference games with 28 points in two appearances. The reason for this early men tion is because Kansas State's Hal Howey collected a total of 27 markers in one appearance while Retherford's lead is the result of r two games. Nebraska was the op- position when Howey ran' wild and if he continues such performances even at half that rate he will be far in front of the loop point Except for the Nebraska-Kansas State clash the conference games to date have been comparatively low scoring battles. Missouri's 36 to 25 win over Iowa State is the best example of this new trend, so Howey ought to be near the top in the scoring race for quite a while. It was in the Mizzou-Cyclone " game that the Tigers' Dairell Lor rance topped the winning team with seven points. Every one of his tallies came on free throws. Although the Husker football team did not win the conference championship, Nebraska has a chance in another sport. Univer sity officials have suggested a Bi Six contract bridge tournament and at least one other school, Kansas State, has risen to the challenge and is preparing a team. That's one sport where weight and height advantages won't mean much. The Oklahoma offense, which emphasized control of the ball rather than split second fast breaks was something new which Coach Bruce Drake had adopted after the Oklahoma team had r dropped a couple of contests early in the season. New York scribes hailed .the Sooners as one of the best teams to appear in Madison Square Gar den when the club beat CCNY. Forward Dick Reich drew special praise for his rebound work, something he displayed during Monday night's game before he was forced out of action after a collision with Claude Retherford. Most Nebraska fans were rather UN Gym Squad To Show Skill ' At Prep Clinic l Coach Charlie Miller is ready ing hisygym squad for an exhi bition to be given at Hastings Jan. 15. Miller and his squad will advise and demonstrate vari ous gym te- iques for Hastings high school and other schools which will be present at this gymnastic clinic. Two Leave Two squad men were lost when Neils Wodder and Ken Willy called it quits because of insuf ficient time. However, Jack Don ley 1942 squad member, has re ported his intentions of joining the squad during the second se mester. The present squad in cludes: Clarence Lefler, Ken Hard ing, Leo Geier, Thil Sprague, t Dick retrashek. Bill Rankin, Lloyd Garner, Gene Sundeen, Robert Carlson, Ken McArdle, Jack Kysar, Nickie Kallos, Mel James, and Wilson Lockett. "The squad is progressing very well," Miller remarked after their practice session Monday evening. "They are beginning to show signs of development. Of course, we can't expect too much from our inexperienced squad and I think we have at l2ast a 50-50 chance in four or five of our meets. How ever, Illinois and some of the other larger schools are too strong and experienced for us to handle." 1 In thhe first meet of the esason Nebraska will.be host to the Uni versity of Colorado from Boulder, Feb. 1. The meet will be held in Lincoln and is scheduled to be run off in the afternoon. TOR RALE Klertrlr- Tlnwllnn Gultnr with nine tube amplifier phone. 3-B702. By Miller Nubbins Win! The Nubbins basketball team defeated Concordia last night 66-48, with Melvln Williams leading the "B" team scoring with 11 points. Going Into the lead midway in the first quarter, the Nub bins managed to build up a thirty-point lead in the second half, and then coasted until the final gun. The halftime score was 21-19. surprised at the size of Gerald Tucker, the Sooner ace who had averaged 14 points per game prior to the UN clash. Tucker was only 6-4, nothing more than average size for the Huskers who have had to contend with a number of tall boys. Recalling only Nebraska home games, we can think of three pivot men who are real skyscrapers. They are a trio of 6 foot 9 inch cagers, Jim Pritchard of Drake, Ron Livingston of St. Mary's and Jim Mclntyre of Minnesota. The situation did not change when the Huskers went on the road for they ran into 6-10 George Kok of Ar kansas as well as Fred Green, an Illinois center of considerable height. Grappler Mike DiBiase may miss a chance to tangle with Glen Brand, the flashy Iowa State heavyweight who placed third in the action last year. Word from Ames informs us that Brand may drop to the 175 pound bracket because he has shed 20 pounds since last season. Should Brand go through the sea son as a 175 pounder, one of the best matches of the year should occur when he and Nebraska's Harold Boker collide. Boker also finished in third place during the national meet, competing in the 165 pound class but he has advanced to the 175 pound bracket this season.

Joe Brown and Rod Cox, other mem bers of the starting lineup, rank next in the scoring chart with 86 and 75 points respectively. The Huskers will be faced with another tough task next Tuesday when they meet the Kansas Jay hawks. Coach Phog Allen's heart ies will be anxious to get back into the thick of the Big Six scrap after losing to Missouri Tuesday night at Lawrence. K. U. Aces. A trio of Jayhawk stars, Charlie Black, Otto Schnellbacher and Ray Evans, will be the big guns for the Kansas quintet which has dropped its last two starts after playing a gruelling slate of preconference games.
