Sports Talk
It's easy to see why Kansas
State ha one of the top cage
teams in the nation. Teamwork
seems to be the Wildcats' speci
alty, with every man doing his
share of the scoring. And when
one of the starting five goes out
of the game, there's an equally
capable replacement for him. In
cidentally, this year's Wildcat
team is the same as last year's,
with one exception. Shannon is
the lone newcomer
Gerald Tucker, treat center on
last year's Oklahoma cage quin
tet, holds the Big- Seven indi
vidual scoring mark of 175 points
in ten conference games. Tucker
was named last season's "player
of the year" by the Helms Foun
dation. The 6'4" eager now plays
basketball for the Phillips "66"
Oilers, six-time National A.A.U.
champion.
One of the season's lows in
basketball scoring comes from a
high school game in Iowa. Hinton
defeated Liberty Consolidated,
6-3. Neither team took a shot at
the basket during the entire last
half. The referees drank pop and
ate sandwiches during the final
two stanzas.
On the other hand, one of the
season's highs in scoring comes
from Ohio ' where Rio Grande,
Ohio downed Wilberforce univer
sity, 118-116, in three overtime
periods. The score was 104-aIl
when the regular playing time
ended. High scorer for the game
was Rio Grande's Newt Oliver
with 59 points, 23 of them free
throws. Three University of Ne
braska freshmen were among the
nation's top high school track
men last spring. Fritz Davis had
the top discuss effort in the coun
try, a throw of 167'7"; Leonard
Kehl pole vaulted 12'9-y8" to
rank third among vaulters; and
Bill Mountford ran a 4:26.2 mile,
the country's fifth best time.
Mountford and Kehl are froph
track candidates .... Timothy Pat
rick is a new addition to the Neal
Mosser family. The 8 lbs., 4 oz. boy
was born on his basketball papa's
birthday, Jan. 18
The situation, concerning, var
sity athletics and intramural ath
letics was brought to the front
last week when one of Nebraska's
top track men was injured playing
intramural basketball. Before the
last war, an intramural team was
looked down upon if it used a
varsity man.
Jf the University of Nebraska
is to regain its high position in
intercollegiate athletics, the fra
ternities and independent organ
izations must co-operate. These
groups must take it upon them
selves to abide by the unwritten
rule of varsity men for varsity
competition only.

Nubbins Five
Nudges Frosh
Crew 45-43
The Nubbins basketball team
capped a long period of steady
improvement Saturday night as
they defeated the Freshmen crew,
45-43, in the Coliseum as a pre
liminary to the Nebraska-Kansas
State Big Seven game.
It was a close game all the way
as the score see-sawed until the
final minute. The Frosh got off
to a commanding early lead, but
the Nubbins quickly made a
comeback and led 32-30 at inter
mission. Long Bob Pierce led the Fresh
men in the second half with his
rebound work, while Jack Pesek
showed improvement to add to
the Nubbins' attack. Thurman
Wright was the outstanding ball
handler of the game and led both
teams in scoring with 12 poin'.

.Nebraska University opened the
indoor track season Saturday with
a 62l2-4Hz victory over the Okla
homa Sooners. Only one meet
record was broken as Sooner
Hobo Gils4rap leaped 23 feet, 1
inches to take the broad jump.
The old record was 22 feet, BVa
inches.
Huskers Dick Hutton and Ray
Magsamen came within one-tenth
of a second of equalling the meet
records in the 60-yard dash and
the low hurdles. Don Cooper
vaulted 13-3'2 to capture that
event. He failed in three at
tempts to break the 13-9 record.
Husker Swimmers Win
Perry Branch led the Nebras
ka tank team to a 48V6-35V2
victory over Kansas University
Saturday. Branch won the 50
yard free style and the 100-yard
free style. He was a member of
the winning 400-yard free style
relay quartet.
The Husker 300-yard medley
team of Bill Fenton, Conrad
King and Dick Draper churned to
a new record in that event. Their
time of 3:19.2 bettered the old
mark of 3:19.6, set in 1941.

to KS, 6445;
Here Tonight
cats jumped to a quick 10-1 lead
with but five minutes gone.
Lone bright spot for the home
crew was the playing of Milton
"Bus" Whitehead, the lanky
Scottsbluff center who contributed
15 points to the Nebraska attack,
high total for the evening.
Though he seemed to tire eas
ily, Whitehead showed definite
improvement in under-the-baskct
play.
Weil-Rounded Offense.
Kansas State, whose only defeat
this season was to Long Island
university, lelt no doubt in the
minds of the spectators as to
which was the better team. Their
well-rounded offense had the
Huskers baffled most of the time.
Rick Harman was high point
man ior the Manhattan team, sink
ing five fielders and two charity
shots lor 12 points. Howie Shan
non followed with 11.
Nebraska made two brief spurts
in an effort to overtake the ever
increasing K State total, once in
the middle of the first half and
again just after the intermission.
They failed to come within 16
points of the Wildcats, however,
at any time after the half.
Cerv Returns.
Bob Cerv, returning to action
for the first time since his injury
on the western jaunt over Christ
mas vacation, turned in a good
job and added six points to the
Husker total. Regular guard Joe
Brown played comparatively little
because of an injured thumb
which was in a cast just before
game time.
