A trio of Nebraska wrestlers
carried their skills into the AAU
field earlier this week, as they
competed in the Midwest Ama
teur Athletic Union champion
ships held at Tech high school in
Omaha.
Newt Copple and Mickey Spa
rano scored wins In the final
matches, capturing 135 and 165
pound honors. Gail Gade, the
third member of the Nebraska
delegation, bowed to Herb Reese
by decision In the finals of the
191 pound class.
Closing the book on the mat
sport, we noticed that the Okla
homa Sooners, who finished se
cond to Iowa State in the Big
Six wrestle meet, wound up
ahead of the Ames squad in the
National Collegiate meet held at
Champaign, Illinois, last week
end. The Oklahoma grapplers im
proved rapidly near the close of
the season and will be a distinct
threat for the conference crown
in 1948.
Althbugh failing to win the
national basketball championship,
the Oklahoma cage team racked
up a higher free throw percentage
during their three playoff games
than it did during the regular
season.
The pressure seemed to im
prove the Sooner showing from
the charity lane, for the team
average was 75.4 percent during
the contests against Oregon State,
Holy Cross and Texas as com
pared to a 64.7 mark during the
regular season.
Gigantic Gerald Tucker showed
the way in the post season show
ing with 16 of 19 free throws for
a record of 84.4 percent. It was
nothing novel for the husky All
American since he canned 100 of
132 shots during the Oklahomas'
full season.
From the fine team which won
the Big Six and Western NCAA
titles this season, Coach Bruce
Drake will retain only Tucker
and Forward Paul Courty. Guards
Allie Paine and Jack Landon and
Forward Dick Reich will be lost
via graduation.

In Tony Blazine, Pop Klein and
Jerry Kathol, the coaching staff
boasts of three of the loudest
voices in the area.
Klein and Kathol devote their
leather lungs to advising the Nub
bins squad, while Blazine ac
comDlishes plenty of work on the
varsity staff.
On of the feature .events of the
Colorado Relays program Satur
day will be a medley shot put
competition. In this event strong
men toss the eight, twelve and
sixteen pound shot and add up
the distances.
Ranked among the top threats
for this championship is Roliin
Prather, Kansas State weight ex
pert who won the Texas Relays
shot and discus throws last week
end. The record for the medley toss
Is 167 feet 9 inches, and was set
by Harold Punches of Colorado
in 1941.

To Face Buffs'
Frosh Hurler
BOULDER, Colo. The Univer
sity of Colorado baseball team
will make its 1947 debut here to
day against the University of Ne
braska as Coach Frank Prentup
starts his "sophomore" year as
boss of the Buffaloes. The game,
at 3:30 o'clock, is the first of
eighteen for the Big Seven confer
ence co-chairmions and Khrmlrl
serve to give observers a good line
on now the Buffs will fare next
season as members of the new
Big Six circuit.
Outstanding Team.
As the dominating team in th
Rocky Mountain loop since 1934,
Colorado has a brilliant reonrrl to
protect. Under the tutelage of
uean Harry Carlson, the Buffs
won the championship in 1935-36-39-40-41-42-43-45
and shared the
title in 1934 and '38. Because of
lack of facilities, no team was
fielded in 1944.
Don Swartz. freshman standout
from Lorain, Ohio, is expected to
start on the mound for Colorado
today and will move to the out
Swarts is the most potent hitter
on the squad, and the Buffs do not
want to be without his wicked
warclub.
Three newcomers are nrnhaMn
starters for Colorado. In addition
to Swartz, Bill Gregg, Boulder,
will open at first base, and Bill
Fanning of Pittsfield. Mass.. is ex

Lynn Nefus of Omaha, last

Coach Prentup has tentatively
nominated Art Gray, portsider

mound duty on Saturday, firav

Old man weather could not
keep the Huskers from going
through with their scrimmage as
scheduled Thursday afternoon.
Despite the heavy going and a
chilly drizzle, Coach Bernie Mas
terson and his assistants as
sembled the Nebraska gridders
on the frosh practice field for
some final pre-vacation licks. Pop
Klein's Nubbins players furnished
the opposition for the varsity can
didates during the scrimmage, the
third of the spring practice per
iod. Cold rain and muddy turf com
bined to produce a slippery pig
skin, and fumbles were numerous,
especially with the split-second
ball handling required by the T-
formation. Varsity players were
on the offensive throughout the
afternoon, as Quarterbacks Dick
Thompson and Bruce Bergquist
got plenty of opportunity to work
with the treacherous pigskin.
Assembled in the first varsity
lineup were Alex Cochrane and
Ralph Damkroger at ends, Mike
DiBiase and Carl Samuelson at
tackles, Jerry Jacupke and Har
old Becker at guards, Tom Novak
at center and Thompson, Dick
Hutton, Junior Collopy and Dale
Adams in the backfield.
Still Dangerous.
Hutton, Collopy and Adams
each took a spin through the
Nubbins secondary on what would
have been a payoff gallop in regu
lar game conditions. The fleet
footed Hutton showed that he has
lost none of the speed and agility
which made him one of the most
beat them home by a stride to win
the race in 3:31.4 for Oklahoma.
Two weeks ago Jacobs, the
Oklahoma coach, said wen made

Few Needs.
"All I'll need is one rule book
to show me what to do, and one
usher to keep me from getting hit
by the javelin or discus."
The Sooner coach still wants
that usher at Lawrence.
