Huskers to Meet Oklahonia
Aggies in Playoff Tonight
division playoffs will be at stake
tonight when the Nebraska Corn
huskers meet the Oklahoma Ag
gies at Kansas City's Municipal
Auditorium.
The Huskers moved into to
night's game by dumping the
Oklahoma Sooners 57-56 at Kan
sas City Monday. The Aggies, as
league champs, are representing
the Missouri Valley.
The win over the Sooners does
not affect the final Big Seven
standings which will go into the
books as a tie. It did, however,
give Nebraska a boost as it
avenged two previous defeats at
the hands of the Oklahomans in
regular season play.
OKLAHOMA A. & M., on pa
per at least, will provide the
toughest test for the Scarlet five
this season. The men from Still
water finished socondin the final
AP national poll two weeks ago.
Most impressive were their two
victories over the powerful St.
Louis Billikens. The Bills had
taken a victory over Kentucky's
steamroller before running
aground at the hands of the Okla
homa ns. The Aggies, coached by
Henry Iba, have been near the
toD for the last several years,
winning NCAA championships in
" 1946 and 1947.
The only bright spot in the pic
ture lor Nebraska is the Okla
homa triumph over A. & M. at
Norman. The Sooners led all of
the v:av to win by 15 points. The
Aggies retaliated the following
week but not by such a wide
margin.
COACH IRA is known through
out the nation for his stress on
defense. His teams originated the
possession type of play so suc
cessfully used this season by Min
nesota. This is dull from Ihe
standpoint of the fans but the im
pressive record his men have
turned in since he took over the
coaching position at the Okla
homa school bears out his prin
ciples. In the first game against
St. Louis the high scoring Bills
garnered only 27 points in an
overtime contest.
One of the chief obstacles in
the Huskers' path tonight will be
stopping their 6-7 center. Bob
Harris. Harris is one of the most
widely sought college players by
professional clubs. He is a top de
fensive man and the Aggie attack

play at the post.
TOM JAQL'ET AND JOE
BRADLEY, the latter a member
of the NCAA champions of 1945
47, are a pair of long shot artists
whose hitting from the outside
has disrupted many A. & M. op
ponents this season. They put on
a great duel with Paul Merchant
and Ken Pryor in the two con
tests against OU.
The Nebraska play was sparked
Monday by the work of Joe Ma
lacck and Bus Whitehead. The
two tall cagers paced the Husk
ers in the point department, and
were the key to the improved
board play. Both had appeared to
be in a slump during the last few
games, and their return to form
may enable the Scarlet to spring
an upset tonight.
Three other positions in this
week-end's playoffs have been
filled. Arkansas will represent the
Southwest, Wyoming the Pocky
Mountain area, and Oregon State
the West Coast.
Peterson Hailed
In Record Attempt
Little Bob Peterson, unstoppable
in Big Seven cage competition,
finally met his nemesis in a
troublesome appendix. The speedy
5-8 guard was only 13 points
short of the all-time Iowa State
scoring record for one season with
two games to go when he was
stricken.
The mark of 213 points w as set
in 1936 by Jack Fleming. It ap
peared to be a goner as Peterson
had 196 with three games left,
and was riding a 10 point per
game average. In the Missouri
game he was not feeling well,
getting only four points, and he
decided to see a doctor.
The checkup revealed his ap
pendix was acting up. and des
pite his protests, Coach Chick
Sutherland refused to allow him
to play in the last two games.
