The Husker cagers, after a vic
torious opening game with South
Dakota State Saturday night, will
be looking for their second wjn
of the season when they play host
to Northwest Missouri State

seum. The Maryville, Mo., squad
dropped their first tilt of the year,
54-23, to Buena Vista of Storm
Lake, la., last week.
Captain Al Henningsen, the 6-5
Intramural
Snorlalk
BY KILL MUXDELL.
Hobe Jones, former Lincoln
high half-mile star, surprised the
field Thursday night to turn in
the best time in the one-lap run.
Jones, who was not expected to
do too well in such a short race
(one lap is 253 yards), put on a
terrific burst of speed on the
first turn and led all the way to
win his heat in 29.4 seconds.
Jones' performance is expected to
give the Alpha Tau Omega stock
a big rise in the final outcome
of the 1949 IM Indoor Meet.
Two men tied for the second
best time in the one-lap run
Thursday. Bob Barchus, Sigma
Chi and Al Hruby, Phi Delta
Theta both sprinted the distance
in 29.6 seconds. Two other men
also had a performance of better
than 30 seconds for the fraterni
ties. Bob Hann, ATO had a time
of 29.8 and aJck Anderson, Phi
Delta Theta had a time of 29.9
seconds.
The rest of the fraternity quali
fiers for the semi-finals and their
times are: Irving Thode rhi
Delt, 30.0: Jim Lyle Phi Delt.
30.3; Dean Hcyer ATO, 30.6:
Dale Armstrong Sig Ep, 30.7;
Jack James Phi Gam. 30.8; and
Bill Wingender ATO. 30.8.
The fraternity record is 28.4
seconds, set by Lee Alexander
of Sigma Phi Epsilon in 1948.
Shuler Leads Denominalionals.
Bob Shuler of Presby House set
a new Interdenominational rec
ord for the one-lap run by circl
ing the track in 29.9 seconds al
most a full second better than
the next best time. Shuler's per-'
formance thus gives him a strong
hold on the claim of being the
the all-around performer in the
preliminaries. In the five events
held last week -he has qualified
in all five.
Behind Shuler in the one-lap
came another Presby man, Glenn
Beerline. Beerline's time for the
distance was 30.7 seconds. A
third Presbyterian rounded out
the top three Denominationals.
Chester Scott clipped off the one
hip in 30.8 seconds.
The rest of the Interdenomina
tional qualifiers for the semi

Krueger Methodists, 32.8; John

33.5; Gerald Walton Presby,
33.6; Jack Steven Presby, 33.9;

Bill Pratt and Hcib Lemon
Presby.
Buel Balderson, running for
the Student Union, set a new
Independent record for the one
hip with a time of 30.1 seconds.
Not far behind came another
Student Union man, Blake Cathro
with a time of 30.5 seconds.

pendently has the third best time
of 30.6 seconds.

center from Atlantic, la., who
paced the Teachers against Ne
braska last year, is again the scor
ing leader for the visitors.
Henningsen and teammates
Gene Ceglenski, Bud Carmichael,
Lloyd Younger, Charles Ramsey
and Jim Tanner will be making
a second appearance on the Coli
seum floor.
Tanner, 6-6 center, and Hen
ningsen are the tallest men on
the Teachers squad, while Car
michael is the shortest at 5-8.
Same Five
Husker Coach Harry Good has
indicated that he will use th.i
same five that started the game
against the weak Jackrabbits
Saturday night.
With the possible change of the
guard position opposite Bob Cerv,
Bus Whitehca d, Ccrv, Tony
Lawry, Joe Malece and Larry
Walsh will be on the floor for the
tip-off.
Good has a strong corp of
guards fighting for the starting
berth but Bob Gates and Lariy
Walsh seem to be the main con
tenders for the job. Lettermen
Joe Brown and Hank Cech along
with two sophomores, Jim Bu
chanan and Andy Bunten, round
out the list.
For the second time in a week,
the Huskers will be favored be
cause of a distinct height advan
tage. Over confidence will not
bother the Scarlet and Cream,
however, as the Teachers, who
will be remembered by those who
saw last year's game, as the team
with the green and white striped
pants, are a strong contender.
