BU.S WHITEHEAD'S 17 points
sparked Huskers to 48-45 win
over Washington U.
Cyclone Team
Appears Here
The big talk about Iowa State
basketball renters around Capt.
Bob Petersen and Don Paulsen
but with every game there's a
solid performance from the
"Other" Petersen, too.
Big Therol Petersen, junior
from Clinton, hasn't been the
spectacular star in any game, but
he should be one of the men to
watch in Nebraska's second con
ference tilt.
Petersen has been a pretty im
portant part of Coach Clayton
Sutherland's strategy all winter.
His best game was against
Oklahoma last week. In addition
to counting eight points, the
rugged junior held Paul Courty
to a pair of field goals and two
free throws for the night that
against a 12.2 average for the
rest of the season for Courty.
Petersen will team with either
Dud Ruisch, Sioux City, or Chick
Herbert, Macomb, 111., at the for
wards on the weekend invasion of
Nebraska. Sutherland will have
Paulsen at center, and Don Fer
guson opposite Bob Petersen.

Next Grid Mentor
By HAROLD ANDERSON
KIORTS KDITOR
The mystery as to who the next
University of Nebraska football
coach will be is becoming greater.
With Jim Aiken completely out
of the picture, Athletic Depart
ment officials are looking in other
directions for the next grid men
tor. Officials believe there is plenty
of time belore actual spring train
ing begins to find and select the
proper coach for the Nebraska
coaching spot.
The list of coaching prospects
looks like a page from a football
Who's Who.
Forrest Evashevski, assistant
coach at Michigan state, and
former Michigan star who paved
the way, Tom Harmon, is among
me men listed by dark as a pros
pect for the Ilusker job.
Potsy is apparently still wait
ing lor a telegram to eaten up
with Paul Brown. Cleveland
Brown pro mentor, who is in Flor
ida. Brown has been mentioned
frequently as wanting to get back
into college football. Press report
have him taking over Bert La
Brucheric's resigned post at
UCLA.
Ivan Williamson, Lafayette Un
iversity mentor, who brought that
school out of the doldrums of de-
freat is listed as a good prospect.
Williamson confered with Univer
sity officials several weeks ago but
nothing has been heard of him
since.
Other coaches who are expected
to taiK with athletic otlicials are
Volncy Ashford, Missouri Valley
college, and Abe Stuber, Iowa
State University. Ashford was to
meet last week with Clark but
was unable to make it.

ing in second place is the Husker
quint with a 1-0 mark.
The Sooner five has taken all
three of its victories by narrow
margins. A last second bucket
by ace, Paul Courty netted a 38
36' margin over Kansas, and late
rallies were necessary to over
take Iowa State (43-42), and
Colorado (43,-40).
Saturday's victory over Kansas
places the NU team in second
place in the early standings. Next
ston on the Nebraska title ladder
will be Iowa State which invades
Lincoln Saturday.
