Forty-six schools have been in vited to send representatives to 4 the meet. Other Big Six schools contacted by the Arizona rodeo committee are Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Yippee!! Seems like Jayhawk ace Charlie y Black just can't behave against Nebraska. The KU star was ejected from the most recent Kansas-Husker battle even though the Lawrence quintet ended the game on the long end of a 69-37 count. The 14 points Claude Rether ford potted against Oklahoma boosted the Ilusker forward to third place, in the conference scor ing race with a total of 8QT coun ters. With two loop games left to play, "the Husker scoring ace could break the 100 mark for points scored in conference games, Gerald Tucker of Oklahoma now heads the procession with 98 points in seven games. With three games yet to play, Titanic Tuck will have to hit a blistering pace to exceed the 173 points that Charlie Black racked up in ten conference appearances last season. At the close of the 1945-46 cam paign there were four players over 100-mark and two more in the 90 bracket. Nebraska's Joe Brown finished his Big Six play last year with 90 points which gave him sixth place in the loop scoring race. Sooners Drub UN Hoopsters By 63-49 Count The Sooners of Oklahoma, led by forward Dick Reich, avenged their only previous Big Six de K feat Monday night by whipping the Cornhuskers to the tune of 63-49. By this victory, the Sooners moved into undisputed possession of first place while Nebraska was dropped into a tie with Kansas State for the cellar position. J All-American Gerald Tucker supplied 1 points to the victorious Oklahoma cause and took over the scoring leadership in the Big Six, passing up sharp-shooting Hal Howey of Kansas State. But it was Reich's hot shooting that was the margin of victory for the Oklahomans. Reich collected 18 points in the course of the game.

Track Coach Ed Weir has named Wednesday night as ex perimental night and will devote the evening to testing some of his Nebraska track men in new events and in giving some new athletes a chance to perform when the scarlet thinclads are host to the Kansas State Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. Using the east stadium layout as the labYatory for his works in the science of track and field competition, Weir is expected to give his scarlet squad a last shake down before the team heads into the final week of intensive train ing for the conference meet. Fans are warned that the first track event will begin at 7:30 rather than 8:00 which has usually been the starting time for UN in door meets.' Competition in field events will get underway at 7 p. m. The Wildcat team has several standout performers, but is not expected to match the Huskers in all around strength and bal ance.

Highlight of the meet is the 880 duel between Nebraska's Bobby Ginn and Bill Stuart of Kansas State. Ginn will pass up the mile race to concentrate on the four-furlong event, since he is slated for a double performance against the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. Stuart turned in a 2:00.9 clock ing in winning the 880 against Missouri when the Tigers and K Staters got together last week. A new performer will appear In the 880 for the Huskers. Loyal Ilurlbert, Ord strlder, who has confined his running to the 440 this season will move cp to the half mile event against the purple 'cats. Al Brown, Husker veteran, Harold Kopf and Jim Martin will round out the Nebraska entrants in the 880. Monte Kinder, Husker high jumper, is expected to shatter the existing high jump mark. The meet record for K State-Nebraska duels stands at 6 feet 4 and 58 inches, within easy, range for the willowy Scarlet leaper who cleared 6 feet 4 and 58 inches against Kansas Saturday. The half mile record of 1:59.1 held by Harold Brooks of Ne braska is also in danger, but the rest of the standards are top grade quality and it would take supris ing efforts to better them. Wildcat Star. Rollin Prather, end on the Kan sas State football squad, is another of the Wildcat standouts. Prather NO SMOr S Arm his ; 21st JHVTH TH GAVNTESPOT : has been flirting with 50 mark with the shotput all season and will provide stiff competition for Dick Piderit and Buzz Hollins in this event. Norval Barker, Aurora veteran, will try his luck in both the high and low hurdles. In previous meets Barker has limited his ex ertions to the low barriers, but the former Big Six king will at tempt to regain some of his for mer wizardry over the high sticks Wednesday. Two freshmen runners will face starter Ed Iliggenbotham in the 440 yard run. Bill Conner, Bayard Stalwart, wil not start, to Don Vollertson, Talmage ace, and Joe Clark, Courtland, Kan sas, runner, will get their chances along with Hurrln' Harvey Stroud. Conner was overcome by fumes from a cleaning solution while doing a bit of laundering in his apartment, and will not compete. With Ginn out of the mile, Henry Schlueter, Don Thiel and Phil Myers will hold the fort for Nebraska. In the two mile Bob Tobin and Bob Darr will join steady Don Morrison. The Huskers may win by sheer weight in numbers in the high jump. In addition to Kinder, Dick Powers, Orville Glass, Don Rice and Ray Magsamen are entered. Don Cooper and Dick Miller will renew their assault on the stratosphere in the pole vault. Both vaulters were handicapped by unfamiliar poles in the Kan sas meet Saturday.

It took a field goal in the last 30 seconds by lanky center Bob Allen of Lincoln plus a charity shot by Mel Williams to send Tony Sharpe's crew home in front.
