ID)f Dkise vs. Hufltf
BY HAROLD ABRAMSON
Wrestling will take over the spot
light Friday night at 7:30 p. m.,
in the coliseum with the feature
match pitting heavyweights Mike
DiBiase and Dick Hutton of Okla
homa A. & M. in the Husker's
J 949 debut.
Hutton who wresteled in the
1948 Olympics in London has de
cisioned DiBiase in two previous
meetings. This will probably be
Mike's last chance to tame the
Oklahoma cowboy.
Win 59 Straight
The Cowboys are NCAA cham
pions, having won 59 straight
dual matches. They defeated Om
aha university's mat squad Thurs
day night in Omaha. Art Griffith,
veteran Aggie coach, hasn't been
defeated since 1937.
Another Olympic grnppler who
wil appear in the coliseum is Bill
Jeinigan, 121 pounder.
Conference 1946-47 Champion
DiBiase could give Hutton a
run for his money as the Husker
veteran is in much better condi
tion than a year ago. The Omaha
mat man has trimmed down to a
mere 216 pounds compared with
242 last season.
Dad's Day
Cornhusker Dads will take
some of the spot light from their
wrestling sons as this evening has
been designated Dad's day. The
proud papas will sit on the bench
with the wrestlers and be intro
duced along with their sons before
each match.
Bob Yambor, Husker veteran, is
not slated for action. The Omaha
wrestler is recovering from. the in
fluenza contracted during vaca
tion. Louis Caniglia, Omaha, will
represent Nebraska in the 121
pound class and Harold Gilliland
will hold down the 128 pound
match.
Both Caniglia and Gilliland de
cisioned Ken Brown in the try
outs. Reese Grapples
Sophomore Herb Reose will
represent the Cornhuskers in the
light-heavyweight bout.
Other members of the Cowboy
squad will be Jack St. Clair, 165
pound division who was a NCAA
champ last year and Elias George,
145 pounder.

part of the military department.
Last year's freshman rifle team
placed second in the United
States, according to reports from
the National Rifle association.
The entire team is back this
year including William and Wen
dell Baumen, Wilbur Scholle,
Richard Merrit and Donald
Flesher.
One of the outstanding rifle
shots at the University and one
of the best in the United States
is Walter G. Palmer of Westfield,
N. J., w ho was chosen on the Ail
American Rifle team of last year.
The senior ROTC rifle team is
the defending champion of the
Camp Perry indoor matches held
annually at Kemper Military
School, Boonville, Mo.

U. S. rjer-
Clark Carries
Search West
Coach Potsy Clark, still in
search of a Nebraska football
mentor, was in San Francisco
Thursday for a meeting of the
American Football Coaches asso
ciation Although a new Nebraska
coach is not expected to be named
tor at least two weeks Potsy will
be interviewing prospects for the
Nebraska grid helm.
Accompanying Coach Clark was
Business Manager Ad Lewandow
ski and Dean Earl Fullbrook, con
ference faculty representative and
board member.
Clark has not been given the
power to hire a new coach on the
spot but his recommendation will
probably rate high. Nebraska
football officials will probably
take plenty of time before naming
the next Nebraska grid mentor.
Oregon's Jim Aiken and Ore-
! gon State's Lonnie Stiner, who
were recently named as good can
didates for the Husker post, have
stated they were not interested in
j the post.
I Others who have been consist
ently mentioned are Paul Brown,
Abe Stuber, Ivan Williamson,
George Sauer, Volney Ashford
and Bud Wilkenson.

NU Enters Big 7 Play
Against Kansas Cagers
Coach Harry Good will send
his cage five against Kansas Sat
urday night in the Husker's 1949
conference opener.
The Kansans lost to Oklahoma
Tuesday night and are still seek
ing their initial conference win.
Coach Phog Allen's cagers, pre
season darkhorses, have come up
with a strong team, as shown by
their placing second in the Big
Seven Tournament during the
holidays.
The Nebraska quint is in top
condition for the game with the
exception of Claude Retherford,
leading scorer, who is hobbled by
a pair of bad ankles. Retherford
will be among the five starters
however.
A switch in positions, made
over the holidays, will find Reth
erford at a guard post instead of
his usual forward position. The
shift, which will pair him with
Cerv, has been made in an at
tempt to smooth out the Husk
er's offense. The inability to get
a steady offense workir?. has
hampered the Nebraskans in
early games.
Rod Cox has been moved into
Retherford's vacated position with
Malacek at the other forward
spot. The center position is
handled by towering Bus White
head. Two non-starters expected
to see plenty of action are Anton
Lawry, forward, and Bob Pierce,
center. Others who may see serv
ice include Henry Cech, Ken An
derson, and Bob Gates.
The Jayhawks' surprising show
ing this season has been due to
their deadly shooting from the
field. Led by veterans Hal Eng
land, Claude Houchin, and Jerry
Waugh, the Kansans have been
sending the ball thru the cords
at a torrid pace. These three men
along with Gene reterson, a
former Husker. will be the men
NU must stop Saturday night.
Coach Allen will send a start
ing five averaging 6'2 on the floor.
Peterson at center stands 6'7, and
forward Claude Houchin is 6'4.
A game between the "B" team
and the frosh will precede the
main contest.
The varsity court in the Coli
seum has been cleaned and re
finished and students are re
quested to avoid walking on the
court and stay on the rubber
mats when entering and leaving
the Coliseum. Probable starting
