BT HAROLD R RAMS ON
Sports fans are probably the
hardest people to please in the
world. If a team isn't scoring
enough points it is no good. If
the other team happens to be
fouling it is a dirty team, and
if the officials start calling fouls
on the home team then they
are not getting paid by the right
team.
Yes, sports fans are funny.
They would probably do any
thing for the home team up to
and including murder but we
love 'em Just the same.
Of course there are some fans
who pet overly excited and start
throwing things like the cer
tain fan in the east stands of
the coliseum who tossed a ball
of paper at the referee just be
fore the half ended at Monday's
game.
Now that fan probably didn't
mean anything by doing that,
but the player who might have
stepped on it wouldn't have like
it. He might have broken an arm
or leg.
We're not taking up the cudgel
for basketball referees but we
must admit we feel sorry for
them. We like to think of them
as ordinary human beings who
have probably been around In
basketball circles for quite a time
and who know something about
the game.
Too many times the ref is
thought of as - a wierd monster
who comes on the floor with a
giant knife ready to cut in half
the first player that makes a
mistake against case humanitv.
That myth was killed a few years !
back when it was proved that
referees, like all other human
beings, have two eyes, ears, legs,
and arms.
Referees like many other hu
man beings make mistakes the j
only trouble is that their mis
takes are more noticeable. Sports
fans should give the ref an even
break before they "holler" I
robber.
Weir Checks
Track Squad
A "prevue of coming attrac
tions" is on tap Saturday after
noon when cinder coach Ed Weir
will present a dress rehearsal
of his 1949 track squad. The
public is invited to the trials
beginning at 1:30.
Coach Weir will hold trials to
select his squad for the approach
ing indoor season. The workout
will be run off as an actual meet
with all events. The pole vault
and shot put will start at 1:30,
with track events to start at 2.
The meet is oien to the public
and the doors on the east stadium
will be open.
A "feelout" was held last Sat
urday, but the turnout was dis
appointing in the number of can
didates out. Coach Weir was,
however, pleased with the show
ing made by the veteran mem
bers of his squad. Fritz Ware
was very impressive along with
Harold kopf. The day's feature
was a relap which matched the
Omaha boys on the squad with
the outstaters. The outstate boys
won despite a very fast lap turned
in by Ware.
The size ol the squad will be
enlarged this week with the turn
out of football players. Among
these will be Dick Hutton, the
Husker's top indoor sprinter last
winter, and Charley Toogood who
will feature in the weights.

Colorado U Cage Squad
Lacks Depth This Year
RUGGED CAMPAIGNER Guard Bob Cerv of Weston is back at
his post on the Nebraska basketball squad, doing top defensive
work for Coach Harry Good. He leads the Huskers in Saturday
night's battle with Iowa State Teachers at the Coliseum.
This Is the third In srrlrt of articles
about future Comliusker opfiononts. Other
articles wilt appeur as the season pro
presses. Colorado's basketball squad
will be better than last season but
the extent of the improvement
depends on how well Coach For
rest "Frosty" Cox's lads remem
ber their experiences during the
1947-48 campaign.
The Buffs are young with no
seniors on the squad and they
lack the speed to match the cur
rent swift-breaking attacks.
Five Lettermen Back
However, the five returning
lettermen appear to have suffi
cient height and are well versed
in Cox's ball-control offense.
Four sophomores are expected
to provide assistance during the
19-game schedule that opens in
Boulder, Dec. 17, with the Michi
gan Wolverines, 1948 Big Nine
champions, as the foe.
Cox lost two regulars from his
'45 squad that won seven and
lost 14. Leslie Mclz.ger. veteran
guard and sparkplug of the team,
was ruled ineligible by the Big
Seven interpretation of the jun-
lor college transfer rule. Russ i
Walseth. hustling little play-mak- j
cr graduated in June.
Hills Rack I
Reluming regulars are Kendall I
Hills and Bob Rolander, forwards,
and Carr Beseniann, center. Bill
Ley, guard, and Rodney Bell, cen
ter, K'tered last year and the
foinu. is slated for a starting
berth this season.
The 29-year-old HiV is ex
pected to lead the Buffs in their
bid for a high berth n the final
Big Seven standings. He tips 180
pounds, stands 6-3, and won't be
surpassed as a rebounder and de
fensive performer.
Last season. Hills hit 58 field'
goals and cashed in on 52 of 72
free throws for 188 poinls during
the 21-game campaign.
Soph Quartet
The quartet of sophomores who
plan to make the trips are Ar
nold Jjesky. forward, and Rofier
Stokes. Wayne Tucker and Eu
gene Rogers, guards. Tucker, a
6-2, 185 pounder, appears ready
to crack the starting lineup.
Pjesky, Stokes and Rogers are
counted on to provide reserve
strength.
Cox's 14-man squad averages
ID years of age. 6-1. and 181
pounds.
Last season the Buffs and Kan
sas shared the conference cellar
with four victories and eight
losses
