Let's hope that Kansas Coach
Phog Allen is in good humor next
Tuesday evening when he brings
his Jayhawk team to Lincoln for
a conference tussle with the Ne
braska quintet.
If the widespread boos and cat
calls which have marred every
Nebraska home appearance thus
far persist in undiminished vol
ume in Jan. 14, the good Dr. Allen
will probably blow his top.
The Nebraska team has been

unable to get thru manv. of its
games without a goodly amountJ
of bodily contact, a heritage
stemming from the days when
Scarlet cage drills did not be
come serious until the football
season was over.
Stir together the rambunctious
Huskers, the rabid crowd, Dr.
Allen's penchant for becoming
riled, and the fact that the Jay
hawks will be fighting to stay in
the Big Six race, and yon have
a rather touchy situation. A sit
uation which Nebraska fans can
do a lot to improve by observing
a few rules of good sportsman
Early indications point to a
new attendance record for Ne
braska at the Husker-Jayhawk
clash next Tuesday. The present
record at the coliseum is 7,378.
This number of fans crowded into
the Husker arena to witness the
Kansas-Nebraska encounter on
Feb. 28, 1936, which decided the
Big Six championship.
Almost all reserved seats have
been sold for the contest which
will determine whether or not the
Scarlet team will be a consistent
threat for the Big Six champion
ship. Three University of Indiana
trackmen left the spectators at
the Sugar Bowl track and field
events completely confused.
Three Mitchells, Earl, Tom and
Bill, were in evidence during the
afternoon and the trio finished
their doings, with lirst, a sec
ond and a third.
Earl Mitchell placed first in the
two mile run, winning by 60 yards
in the time of 9:44.6. to start the
parade. After that Tom and Bill
continued the confusion by plac
ing second and third in the 120-
yard high hurdles back of Ross
Nichols of Oklahoma A. & M. .
For the record, Tom and Bill
Mitchell are brothers while Earl
is of a different family.

Hugo Otopalik, long-time
wrestling coach at Iowa State
College, has given up his mat
duties at the Cyclone school to
take over the physical training
nd recreation program at the
Camp Dodge annex, home of 500
freshmen engineering and science
students.
Ray Stone has replaced Oto
palik as director of the Iowa State
wrestling fortunes for the 1947
season. The Cyclones will meet
Nebraska in Lincoln, Feb. 24.

Coach Tor.y Sharp's Nebraska
B team, victorious in its only pre
vious start against outside com
petition, added another win to its
record Wednesday night by
thumping Concordia of Seward
66-48 at Seward.
Melvin Williams, Bill Denker
and Bob Robinson paced the B
team scorers with 11, 10 and nine
points respectifully as the Nubbins
broke loose in the second half after
being held to a narrow 21-19
halftime lead.
During the last half the Ne
braska team built up a 62-30 lead
before Sharp began to juggle the
lineup. During the rest of the
game the Seward quintet cut down
the Nebraska lead with Neil
Hafemeister and Merle Reiling do
ing the heavy work.
- Reiling led all scorers with 21
points while Hafemeister counted
14 markers for the Concordia outfit.
Divided Scoring.
Each of the 14 Nubbins players
that got into the game contributed
at least one point to the Nebraska
total.
The Husker B team will make
its next start on Saturday in home
game against Western Union col
lege of LeMars, la. Tipoff time is
8 p. m. and the game will be fol
lowed by the Nebraska-Wichita

Game Common
In IM Loops
Another full round of league
basketball was played Wednesday
evening at the coliseum in the
IM basket ball race. The closets
contest was held between a pair
of independents, Seagrams 5"
and Methodist students; and ended
in a 25-23 victory for Seagrams.
It was the first game for either
team and was the tip off on the
"battle royal" that promises to
occur in the independent leagues.
"A" team play in the fraternity
leagues was confined to the Sigma
Alpha Ma-Pioneer Co-op game.
The Sammy's, playing steady ball
all the way, broke into the win
column for the first time with a
20-12 conquest of a determined
Pioneer five.
In B team action the Phi Delts
won another as they moved past
Theta Xi 20-18. The Farm House
quintet continued its winning
ways with a hard fought 23-17
victory over Comhusker Co-op.
With the cancellation of ill
Friday games, league action will
not be resumed until next week
when teams will hit the half way
mark in the current campaign.

strokers.
Bill Burr, Lincoln letterman,
Dean Porter, Lexington, and Bill
Becker of Lincoln are the men
upon whom Lepley will pin his
hopes for points in the free style
distance events.
The largest number of candi
dates for any one event have
turned out for the free style
sprints. Among them are Marvin
Grimm, Wilbur; Perry Branch,
Lincoln; Jack Campbell, Lincoln;
uick uraper, Eelden; Neil Hill
man, Omaha; Warren ConnelL

Roger Moore, Lincoln letterman.
Others are Billy Case of Omaha,
Bill Nealy of Omaha, and John
Eloomer from Lincoln.
Most of the men are beginners
at the water sport and do not have
too much experience, but Coach

MIKE DIBIASE.
up 49 consecutive wins against
tough opposition.
Big Mike won the national AAU
championship April 6, 1946, when
he defeated Vaughn from Franklin-Marshall
1 to 0. The meet was
held in New York with about 300
men entered in the tournament.
Mike won the title while still serv
ing in the navy.
In regard to .the coming meet
with Wichita Saturday, Big Mike
drawled, "The squad looks good
and if they wrestle the way they're
capable of wrestling, we'll show
them a mighty rough evening even
if we don't win. I also think we
should win the Big Six if such a
meet is held."
DiBiase managed to continue his
wrestling career during his stay in
the navy. While stationed in Okla
homa he was on the wrestling
team and won the Oklahoma AAU
tournament for two consecutive

years. After being sent to St.
Mary's in California he tucked
away the heavyweight champion
ship in the far western tourna
ment. Mike spent a total of three
years in the navy and was mar
ried April 18, 1946, the day after
his discharge.
Scarpello Tough.
"Scarpello from Omaha Central
was my toughest opponent," Mike ,
explained. "I met him twice and
I managed to get an even split.
That boy was just good and he
was in my hair all the time."
Mike lettered three times in
wrestling at Omaha Tech and was
all-state his last two years as a
heavyweight. He tipped the scales
at 205 while in high school and
at the present time considers his
best fighting weight 230 pounds.
He keeps in condition by playing
football and throwing the discus
and shot put. Mike earned seven
letters while attending Omaha
Tech; three in wrestling, two in
football at tackle, and two in
track.
DiBiase entered Nebraska U.
last fall as a freshman and proved
to be a valuable asset as he let
tered playing tackle on Bernie
Masterson's gridiron aggregation.
In the all-university wrestling
tournament he won with the great
est of ease and established a new
record when he clamped Keith
Manning on the mat in 31 sec
onds.
Mike's biggest troubles are try
ing to find shirts big enough, in
cidentally, a 20 inch collar is re
quired, and finding a suitable
place to live. During his spare
time he is searching high and low
for living quarters so in case you
hear oi any vacancies, dial 3-3908.
