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.

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.

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.
