ImMin - rm - .r-fc. p m I -- -t "" " " " , l Cornhusker Cage Squad Picks All-Opponent Team Twenty-two cage teams re ceived votes last week when Ne braska's varsity basketball squad picked an all-opponent. Positions were determined on a basis of two points ' for a first team vote and one point for a sec ond team vote. First team: Forward, Courty, Oklahoma. ForwardL Jenkins, Missouri. Center, Mclnytre, Minnesota. Guard, A. L. Bennett, Okla homa A. & M. Guard, Shannon, Kansas State Second team: Forward, Schnellbacher, Kan sas. Forward, Howey, Kansas State. Forward, Harmon, Kansas State. Center, Waters, Oklahoma. Guard, Merchant, Oklahoma. Guard, Pippin, Missouri. Those Nebraska players polled by the Daily Nebraskan sports editor were: Bus Whitehead, Neal Mosser, Joe Brown, Rod Cox, Hank Cech, Paul Shields, Bill Benker, Dick Srb, Anton Lawry, Claude Retherford, Bob Cerv, and Dick Schleiger. There was no question among the Huskers as to the first team berths. But second team positions were hot so easily . determined. Three men, Pippin, Schnellbacher, and Howey, received five points each to merit second team posi tions. This gave the second aggre gation six men since the other three cinched their positions by comfortable margins. Shannon Tops Foil Picked as captain of the first quintet was Howard Shannon, a guard on Kansas State's Big Sev en conference champions. Shan non was the only player to re ceive first team votes from every Husker. The Nebraska cagers had high praise for the Wildcat guard. Before the Nebraska-Kan-sas game in Lincoln, January 31, Husker Guard Bob Cerv said, "Watch Shannon. He's one of the best ball players around here." And Bob was right. Shannon was deadly on long shots and a ter rific rebounder. He was certainly 'one of the main reasons Kansas State took its first loop crown. Paul Corty from Oklahoma was close behind Shannon in the polL The Sooner forward received 11 fiist team votes and one second team vote. Courty was the only regular returning from last year's great Oklahoma quintet. The 6'3" Windsor, Missouri, caker was a valuable rebounder and owned a sharp basket eye. His specialty was a left-handed jump shot The Oklahoma forward tallied IS points against the Huskers in the Lincoln encounter. Bib Jim Mclntyre and A. L. Benett finished in a tie for third with ten first place votes and one second team vote each. Mclntyre, second hig hscorer in the Big Nine conference, tallied 27 points against the Huskers when Minne sota defeated Nebraska early in the season. Bennett earned his team position as a result of his play against the Huskers in the Kansas City tournament. The Aggies defeated Nebraska by only one point in that contest. Jenkins Completes First Five Missouri's Thornton Jenkins re ceived sewn first place votes and four second team votes to com plete the number one five. The big Tiger forward was rough under the basket and was one of the Big Seven leading scorers. Bill Waters, 6'5" Oklahoma cen ter, received the most points for a second team player with ten second place votes and two first team votes. The 230 pound center scored 17 points in the last half against the Huskers on the Ne braska court. Paul Merchant and Rick Har man finished second among sec ond team vote receivers with five second and two first place votes each. Harrnan was one of the Wildcats' top rebounders. Mer chant gave a dazzling exhibition of ball handling as the key man in Oklahoma's fast break when the Norman cagers set a new scoring record against the Huskers on the N.U. court. Three Tie Schnellbacher, Howey and Pip pin round out the second squad. Schnellbacher was the only re turning regular on Coach Phog Allen's Jayhawker quintet. Pip pin was a cool, steady player on the Missouri five, and Howey was another member of Kansas State's star-studded quintet. Eleven other cagers received votes from the - Huskers. They were: Beseman, Rolander and Metzger from Colorado; McMil lan, Missouri; Schmidt, South Da kota State; Peterson, Iowa State, Rose and Higgins, Stanford; Hou chin, Kansas; Pryor, Oklahoma; and Berberian, Purdue.

That one sub saw very little service. Cyclones Close Cage Season Against Kansas Clayton "Chick" Sutherland, Iowa State basketball coach, probably moaned louder than any native Kansan when the Jay hawks dropped a 77-60 game at Colorado Monday - There's good reason, too, for Sutherland and the Cyclones will be in Lawrence Friday night to close the Big Seven season need ing a victory to tie for second place. But what makes the go even rougher is that the Kansas team must have the win to force Colorado to share sixth place in the final standings. Dr. F. C. Allen, head man of the Hawks, has finished last only once in his coaching career, and then he shared the bottom spot with Kansas State in 1929. The Jayhawkers have lost ten straight games, and will seek to avenge a 52-50 loss at Ames in February. Iowa State will send four seniors into action.

Sooners Open Baseball Drills With his 1948 Oklahoma base ball team wrecked when five players signed with major league clubs and two more quit school to try out with the New York Giants, Coach Jack Baer has be gun practice with lettermen re turning in only two positions, shortstop and pitcher. Oklahoma - will have a rebuilt team in virtually every position save shortstop where Lewis Eu banks, a fine fielder and thrower, returns. Oklahoma opens its 1948 season and defense of its Big Seven and N.CAA. fifth district championships by meeting Texas Christian, March 26, at Fort Worth, Baylor at Waco, March 27, and Texas at Austin, March 29 and 30. Bad Weather. Bad weather has made such a shambles of Oklahoma's early practices that Baer has been un able to see much of his squad. With Catcher Johnny Chyr gone, Bill Sims, sub backstop last year; Graydon Sheen and J. R. Baker are all battling for the position. Letter pitchers returning in clude Elton Davis, who had the best earned run average last year. Easter Cards For Relatlreg mnd Friends. Mf Enter Gift Wrmp tiibbont.
