Husker Five To Meet OU At KC Tonite Nebraska cagers left Sunday morning at 7:30 for Kansas City where they will meet Oklahoma Monday night. The twelve-man squad entrained with high hopes, confident that they will drop Oklahoma and gain the playoff spot against the Ag gies Wednesday night. The team feels that they should have won at least one and prob ably both of the two previous clashes with the Sooners. Their confidence is emphasized by the vote following the Missouri game concerning whether they should play OU lor the NCAA spot or leave it to a conference nomina tion. The players voted unani mously to meet the Sooners. Coach Good gave the team a much needed rest following the Tiger game. But Wednesday the squad began preparation for the Oklahoma contest, working against a freshman outfit using OU formations. Considerable em phasis was put to polishing the Husker offensive attack. The team is more relaxed now, with the pressure of the confer ence race over, and should settle down to play the type of ball they showed in January, good thought. Two participants in the NCAA western finals Friday and Satur day have already been named. Arkansas will represent the south west, and Wyoming the Rocky Mountain area. The west coast entrant was to be decided Sat urday night in a playoff between UCLA and Washington. The fourth team will be decided at Kansas City.
