Hail to the Kines!
Pundemonium broke lose in the Coliseum Monday night
as Maestro Harry Good's cagers staged the most daring up
set of the 1950 Big Seven conference race as the Huskers
aumpea uie Kansas State Wildcats 65-63 in an overtime
lussie mat had the record crowd
of 9,600 people standing practi
cally the entire last halt.
Bog Gates, with just three
ccondg left In the overtime,
wished a spectacular 40 foot act
shot to give the Huskers a well
deserved, hard-fought victory
that sent them into a tie with the
Wildcats and Kansas U for the
conference lead.
With 30 seconds remaining
In the regulation time, Bus
Whitehead pivoted around
Clarence Brannum and swished
a bucket to send the came into
the extra period at 57 all.
Captain Brannum made the
mistake of trying to stall out the
remaining seconds and as the
horn sounded Henry Cech tied
the ball up. Rick Harmon drew
first blood in the overtime with
a drive in shot. Ccch countered
with the same after 1:15 had
lapsed.
Langton potted a set shot to
Rive the Wildcats a two-point
edge. Whitehead passed to Joe
Malecck who potted a jump shot.
Harmon was fouled with 46
seconds left. Nervous as the pro
verbial "wet-hen", he strode to
the chnrity line, shot, watched
the ball roll around the rim and
finally through the hoop for a
point. Chuckling at his lurk, he
calmly sent the other gratis shot
through the meshes to give the
Wildcats a two point margin.
Brown Knots Score
Ccch tried a long shot and
failed. With just 20 seconds left
and the Huskers two points be
hind, ole reliable Joe Brown
entered the game. He passed the
ball into Gates, took a couple of
steps, received a pass and quietly
netted a long shot to again tie
the game.
Then came Gates' tremendous
shot with just three seconds left.
Kansas State took the ball out of
bounds and Brannum tried a
desperation shot from mid-court
and failed.
Whitehead again led the Hus
kers in the scoring column, get
ting 15 points 6 field goals and
3 free throws.
Brannum was high for K-State
with 14.
Bob "Shorty" Pierce hit 5x
field goals for ten points, lie
didn't do so hot at the key
hole, missing four free throws.
Gates also hit 5x6, Including
the winning shot in the over
time. The lead changed six times the
first half and eight the second
and two in the overtime for a
total of 16 times. Nebraska led
25-22 at intermission.
Whitehead gave the Huskers
the lead as he sank his free
throw after the game had gone
for 33 seconds without a tally.
Brannum netted a long shot and
then Bob Cerv hit one from far
out. The lead bounced back and
forth with neither team holding
more than a four-point lead. The
score was 19-15, Nebraska, with
6:40 seconds left.
Jack Stone narrowed the mar
gin to one point on a set shot and
a free throw. Pierce hit from
under the basket and Ed Head
hit from the side. Whitehead sank
a long mesh shot with 1:15 sec
onds lef ''' intermission to end
first haL scoring.
BiU and 'Gas' Vie.
An added attraction was shown
the fanj at half-time with head
football coach Bill Glassford and
Chancellor Gustavson doing the
honors. The two had a kicking
contest to begin the "March of
Dimes" campaign.
Chancellor "Gus," keeping his
legs In shape by running for
trains, treated the crowd to
another upset as he beat Glass
ford. Yep, the Chancellor has a
lot of hidden talents.
Opening the second half with
a tally was K-State. Stone hit
a long one and then Buchanan
hit his shot from the charity
lane. Stone tied the ball game
for the ninth time with two gratis
shots. Whitehead captured the
lead for the Huskers with a free
throw and Krone hit a long set
shot.
The Huskers hit 26 times from
the ffeld oa 81 attempts while
the Wildcats meshed 24x70. With
lust a few minutes left in the
game, Brannum warmed up and
threw, what perhaps was a new
record for height, and hit the
score-board dead center. A little
later on he tossed one to Har

The University of Nebraska
Cornhuskers rang the opening
bell in defense of their Big Seven
indoor track title Saturday night
as they crushed Iowa State 79-25
at Lincoln. Coach Ed Weir's
thinclads grabbed 10 of 12 first
places from the undermanned
Cyclones and swept the field in
the 60, high and low hurdles and
the shotput.
Jim McConncll opened the
Husker point parade with a vic
tory in the shot. His winning
effort, 46 feet 1 inch, was only
two inches better than that of
Charlie Toogood who copped
second. Wayne Sees took third
to give Nebraska a 9-0 lead,
after which they were never
headed.
Sophomore Lee Moore won
the mile in 4:34.1 after taking
over the lead from Gene Rob
inson on the fourth lap. Uob
' Inson took third behind Bark
ley of Iowa State.
Don Cooper, sidelined in the
pole vault from an operation on
his right hand, led teammates
Lee Alexander and Bill Mueller
to the tape in the 60 yard dash
in :06.4. Leonard Kehl, indoor
record-holder, won the vault at
12 feet 6 inches.
Iowa State's two first places
came in the confused 880 and
the two mile. Starter Ed Higgin
botham fired the final lap gun
on the 880 after the runners had
circled the oval only one and
one-half times, thus cutting the
race to approximately 630 yards.
Harold Kopf, Husker vet who
was favored to win, failed to
note the mistake until too late
and was pressed to place third
behind Dick Miller and Gerald
Broshar of the Cyclones.
Aydin Forced Out
In the two mile the duel be
tween Shaver of Iowa State and
Esrcf Aydin of Nebraska failed
to materialize as Aydin, his
workouts hampered by a tough
examination week, was forced to
drop out on the eleventh lap.
Shaver won in 10:10.9. Dean
Barnell of Nebraska took second
and Bob Recce of Nebraska
third.
Coach Weir was especially
pleased at Nebraska's showing in
the shot, high jump and the two
hurdle races. Dick Meissner, jun
ior letterman, won the high jump
at 6 feet 1 inch and barely missed
three tries at 6-2 for a new
meet record. Ted Mead tied with
Jim Doran of Iowa State for sec
