THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
PAGF 3
From the Sports Desk.,.
BY JERRY WARREN.
The irony of it all.
Tuesday half the students at Nebraska wouldn't have
given a plugged nickel for the Husker's chance in the Big
Seven and criticism of Harry Good was evident everywhere.
Today, in the eyes of those skeptics, we have a potential
championship team and that same Mr. Good is the best coach
in the league. Everyone loves a winner.
The performance of Bus Whitehead in the Kansas game
reminded many of Minnesota's Jim Mclntyre who broke
the modern scoring record at the Coliseum last year with 32
points. Whitehead's hook shot, unfamiliar to many Husker
fans, was something to behold. He possessed un uncanny
ability to hit the hoop as he scored on 12 shots from the
field Tout of 17 attempts, better than 70r.
The Huskers played inspired ball Tuesday night. Led
by Bus's 26 point output, worked smoother and showed
hidden talent in their floor play.
Most enjoyable item in the final tally was Big Clyde
Lovelette's meager 12 point total. The 6-8o Jayhawk had
a 20.5 game average before expert defensive work by White
head, Bob Cerv and others reduced it to an even 18 points
per game.
. Good now has plenty of depth in the guard position w'ith
two reliable combinations ready to interchange at any time.
Bob Cerv and Jim Buchanan plus Joe Brown and Hank Cech
all performed well against the smooth Jays. Husker forwards
also hit their stride against Phog Allen's crew. Tony Lawry
and Joe Malacek both contributed strength on rebounds and
combined to chalk up 17 points. Joe played his best game
of the year.
The season is still in the embryo stages, however, and
the Cornhuskers will have to play as well and better than
Tuesday night to maintain their place high in the Big Seven.

The question is: Can Ed Weir
and his eindermen amass enough
points to nose out the mighty
Missouri team.
The pipe-smoking, quiet master
of Nebraska's track fortunes says
that Missouri will again have the
top team in the conference with
Oklahoma and Kansas showing
up well with a fine crop of soph
omores. Coach Weir is relying on the
numerous veterans on his squad
along with his second year men
to offset the young teams with
less experience on the boards at
Kansas City on March 3rd and
4th.
Loyal Hurlbert, Nebraska's top
man in the 440, proved by his
previous performances that the
man with knowledge of the track
plus superior speed will win out
on the cedar saucer of the Kan
sas City Auditorium.
Ray Magsaman, high point man
for the team last year, will be out
to complete his string of victories
in the 60-yard low hurdles, bro
ken by Hobo Gillstrap of Okla
homa at the indoor classic last
year. Racing Ray was undefeated
until Hobo edged him out at the
tape in the finals in a fast 7.0
seconds.
The most promising pair of per
formers in the field events this
year for the scarlet thinclad will
be Leonard Kehl, conference in
door record holder in the pole
vault, and his team-mate, Don
"Moose'r Cooper. These two men
have a chance to gather more
points in ihe pole vault than any
other trio in any event. The only
possible exception is Weir's trio
of sprint men, of which Moose is

superior in most weights.
The Huskers won only three
matches. Louey Caniglia, Herb
Reese and Mike DiBiase took top
honors in the 126, 175 and heavy
weight classes respectively.
Lowell Lange, Cornell ace and
holder of five National champion
ships, had too much to offer for
Bob Russell in the headline con
test. The 145 pounders battled
evenly for two minutes before
Lange picked up two points on a
take down. Despite a cast on his
left thumb, Lange continued to
hold the edge, finally disposing
of Russell 4-1.
Caniglia Wins.
Caniglia opened the card by
dropping John Salisbury of Cor
nell 10-8 after a close duel in
the 121 nound class.
National A. A. U. Champ Walt
Romanowski showed Nebraska's
Harold Gilliand that he took his
work seriously, outpointing the
128 pounder 8-4.
Husker Mickey Soprano and
Leo Thomson battled on even
terms for one round in the 136
pound bracket. In the second
round however, the wily Thom
sen pulled a reviiseal on Sparano
and went out in front 2-0. Spar
ano gained one point on his foe
by being the victim of an illegal
hold, but Thomson outlasted him
to win 2-1.
Cornell's Kent Lange piled up
the biggest margin of the night,
laking a 7-1 victory over Ed
Lane, Husker 155 pounder.
Coriihusker Don Rauh was the
last Cornell victim, falling to Bill
Nardini 6-1 in the 165 pound
class.
Ueese Fd?es Foe
175 pounder Herb Reese found
the going slow in his match with
soft shoe man Fred Dexter of
Cornell. The rugged Husker
spent most of the first six min
utes waiting for Dexter to mix
it up. Finally with the clock
showing 2:38 seconds remaining,
Reese garnered one point on an
escape. The one point proved to
be the margin of victory, as the
two boys circled the ring for the
remaining time. The match was
held up shortly after it got under
way, Dexter being injured slight
ly when the two wrestlers
toppled off of the mat.
