Coach Harry Good cut his bas
ketball squad to 16 as the Huskers
moved into their final two weeks
f preparation for the season
tpener against South Dakota State
on Dec. 3.
In those two short weeks, Good
must whip his cagers into top
shape. The 16 named will prac
tice over Thanksgiving vacation,
taking time-out for turkey dinner
only.
The team will practice three
hours a day, taking an hour and
a half in the morning, starting at
10 and then the other half at 8
p. m.
Fight ICttermen
Of the 16 named to stay out
with the varsity, eicdu are return
ing lettcrmcn. They are Dick Srb.
Joe Malecek, Anton La wry, Bob
Pierce, Bus Whitehead, Henry
Cech, Bob Ccrv and Joe Brown.
Brown sat out last season but has
returned for his final year of com
pel t ion.
Brown might be the answer to
Good's worries concerning who he
will have to replace two guards
that graduated. Joe, an accurate
set shooter and clever ball han
dler, is a three year veteran. He
won varsity letters in 1945-46.
1946-47 and 1947-48.
The eight other players are Bob
Gates, who played in 14 games
last year and scored 40 points;
Kav Jussel, who also played last
year and is expected to be one of
the regular forward replacements;
Larry Walsh, having played in 15
games last season; Jim Buchanan,
a member of last year's frosh out
fit; Andy Buntcn, another frosh
numeral winner of last year; Jim
Fulford, a sophomore who was
one ol the outstanding reboundcrs
of last year's frosh squad; and
Norman Wilnes.
K-State Leader
When asked how he thought the
teams would finish in the Big
Seven conference scramble. Coach
Good replied, "Kansas State,
Oklahoma and Kansas University,
with the other teams battling it
out for the next places." Good in
dicated that new material on any
one of the teams could change the
picture completely.
With just five men playing, one
player could mean the difference
between a victorious or a disas
trous season. He cited Colorado,
which has piactically every mem
ber hack from their last year's
squad as well as Iowa State.
Colorado was one of the Bis
Seven teams that improved
greatly as the season progressed
-.ind should he one of the "dark
liorses.'" The Big Seven pre-scason tour
nament to be held in Kansas City
stalling Dec. 27, should take the
wraps off the new sophomores
making their lirst appearance
whh the: varsity
Michigan Guest
Adding prestige to the tourney
will be the guest member Michi
gan. The guests have an excellent
record, tuning won the Big Ten
conference in 1943 and finishing
third in '49. In their last game of
the season, they defeated Big Ten
champions Illinois by 15 points
with underclassmen doing most of
t lie damage.
'Only with considerable prac
tice, will we be able to do any
thing." answered Good in reply
to, "What will the Huskers do?"
Practice for the next two
weeks will consist mostly of
scrimmaging as Good will be
trying to lind three men to fill

that graduated.
Three Graduate.
The three lost by graduation
were Claude Retherford, Ne
braska's leading scorer for the
past three years and Big Seven
leading scorer with a 12.41 point
average per game; Kenny An
derson and Rod Cox.
Good is planning on using his
same "run 'em into the boards"
style of play, but he is using
some of his time sending his
cagers through regular set plays.
Good cited the trend throughout
the country to the deliberate set
style of basketball.
Climaxing his three-year
reisn at Nebraska, Good fin
ished the Huskers in a tie with
Oklahoma for first plaee and
boosted his win average to 500
percent.
Saturday evening Coach Good
will leave for Kansas City where
the conference "big-wigs" will
meet to prepare the 1950-51
schedule. Usually the scheduling
was done in the spring following
the basketball season, but this
was changed in order that the
member-teams might be able to
schedule better teams.
Most of the other major con
ferences scheduled their games
prior to the season and this will
give Nebraska an opportunity to
schedule more teams of their
caliber.

:fb - bm the Sport Wesu
BY JERRY WARREN
The football season, and a successful one in the eyes
of Husker fans, is over and Bill Glassford, the lucky stiff,
has nothing to do until the start of the 1950 grid year.
All the smiling coach has to do now is pour through the
huge files of films, diagnosing the mistakes and the changes
to be made. Another small item to be taken care of is adapt
ing the offensive and defensive formations to fit the changes
in the team due to graduation.
Students have to be kept on their toes academically as
well as physically but tfiat doesn't take much time. Oh yes.
he might have to make a few hundred speeches over the
state, selling NU to high school gridders, but that won't be
too pressing. And then by that time Spring practice will be
in progress so the mentor won't be too bored by inactivity.
Seriously, though, those wno imnK me jou ui luutuau
coach is over, after the season ends, have another think
coming. We certainly would hate to follow in Glassforc. s
' fnntsdprtR during the off season.
VVp landed the coach on his

n lanse of moral after a losing
v, oac, TTr ronlierl that to
part of practice. If a coach cannot get the players into top
physical shape, he has failed in his job, said Glassford.
Glassford noted a definite, but gradual, improvement
in the team and cited Saturday's performance as the "best
effort of the season." Down-field blocking was one of the
rrP;,tpr iniDrovemcnts. said the coach, and the 55-yard run
of Meginnis' was almost perfect as far as blocking
id that six or seven times in the game

missing assignments.
The importance of down-field blocking is accentuated
by the number of long scoring runs made by the Huskers
this year. Clark's two runbacks of 100 and S2-yards, Gerry
Ferguson's 55-yard dash. Harry Meginnis' two sprints of 7.0
and 55-yards and Nick Adduci's 75-yard touchdown run
could not have been made without the help of sharp blocking.
In conclusion, The Daily Nebraskan staff would like to
join the university students and citizens of Nebraska in con
gratulating Bill Glassford and his fine staff of assistants.

Buckeyes Tabbed
For Hose Bowl
The Ohio State Buckeyes wciv
the unanimous choice of Big Ten
faculty representatives to repre
sent the Western conference in
the Rose Bowl, Commissioner
Kenneth L. "Tug" Wilson an
nounced Monday.
Michigan, co-champion of the
conference, is ineligible to return
to the Bowl again because of a
clause in the Big Ten-Pacific
Coast conference pact specifying
that no Big Ten team can com
pete twice in three years. Wilson
made the announcement after re
ceipt of the ratings made by the
faculty representatives.
The representatives rated three
eligible bowl teams in order of
preference afler the final game of
competition. Ohio State was
named first on every ballot.
This year's game will be played
on Jan. 2 instead of the usual
Jan. 1 date, because New Year's
,,d.v
day falls on Sundav. It was likely
that Ohio State would meet Cali-
fornia in the Bears' second con-
secutive trip to the Rose Bowl.
It will be the second Rose Bowl
venture for the Buckeyes. Ohio
State previously competed in the
Pasadena game in 1921, losing to
California, 28 to 0.
