Huskers Halt Last-Minute
OIL Rally for Playoff Win
Nebraska's scrapping basketballers stood off a desperate
Sooner rally in the final minutes to take a 57-56 win at Kan
sas City Monday night.
The win gave the Huskers a berth against the Oklahoma
Aggies as Big Seven representatives in the district 5 NCAA
playoffs. Nebraska will play the
Aggies Wednesday night at Kan
sas City.
The Scarlet five had apparently
sewed up the game with only
three minutes to play as they rode
a six point lead, but the .Okla
homans dropped in two quick
baskets to close the gap to 54-52.
Malacek dropped in a free throw
to give the Huskers a three point
lead with two minutes remaining.
The Sooners bounced right fcack
on two gift shots by Freiberger,
drawing up to 55-54. Nebraska,
playing very carefully, shook
Retherford free for a jump shot,
boosting the margin to three
points. Again trie cool Freiberger
hit two for two from the foul line,
and Nebraska led 57-56 with a
minute to go.
Mulacck, Retherford and Cerv
kept the ball away from the eager
Sooners during a hectic final
minute and the Huskers had the
ball game.
Oklahoma Coach Bruce Drake
tried a bit of strategy at the open
ing of the game, .starting his
number two outfit. The scrubs
took an early edge, but Rether
loid's shot sent the Huskers in
front 8-7 after five minutes. Drake
sent his veterans into the fray,
but NU continued to hit. Twice
during the first half they led by
eight points, before Oklahoma
crowded 27-25 at intermission.
The Scarlet appeared to be in
complete control through the sec
ond half until the Oklahoman's
final surge.
Bus Whitehead and Joe Mala
cek paced the Huskers with 17
and 14 points respectively. Frei
berger was high for Oklahoma
with 14 points, with their fiery
guards, Pryor and Merchant,
gathering nine each.
NU Gymnasts
Drop Decision
To Illini Squad
Nebraska's gymnastic squad
finished their season Friday with
a 60 12 to 34 k loss at the hands
of Illinois Navy Pier division. The
Illini squad is rated one of the
top gymnastic teams in the coun
try. Bill Roetzheim of Illinois was
the outstanding competitor of the
meet as he took five first places.
Roetzheim chalked up victories
in the side horse, horizontal bar,
parallel bars, long horse and fly
ing rings.
Illinois' national tumbling
champion, Irvin Bedard, won his
event with the same skill and
ease with which he annexed the
national title.
Phil Sprague placed high in
four events to lead the Husker
scorers. Sprague took second in
the side horse, parallel bars and
tumbling and took third in the
flying rings.
Nebraska's other point-getter
was Al Dunavan, who took sec
ond in the horizontal bars, giving
Roetzheim, who wa sa member
of the Olympic team, his hardest
compeition. Dunavan also placed
third in the tumbling.

Retherford
Cops Big 7
Scoring Title
Claude Retherford, fast-shooting
Husker guard, closed his col
lege cage career with a bang as
he notched up the conference
scoring title with a 12-game total
of 149 points for an average of
12.42 points per game.
Two points behind Retherford
was former Husker Gene Peter
son of Kansas, with 147 points.
Peterson had a chance to catch
the sharpshooting Husker as he
was 20 points behind with one
game to go, after Nebraska had
finished their season. Peterson
came thru with 18 points, two
short of Retherford's mark. In
ability at the free-throw line cost
Peterson a lot as he missed six
out of eight chances.
Bus Whitehead came in fifth
with 123 points, behind Wayne
Glascow of Oklahoma and Rick
Harman of Kansas State, who
placed third and fourth, respec
tively. Bob Rolander of Colorado, who
received second team center on
the conference team, was one
