I CJ T M G MEWS" 1 N Sunday, February 5, 1950 Missouri Looms As Cornhusker Threat By Don Bryant Nebraska's Cornhuskers will make another attempt Monday niKht, to further their string of home victories. The intended victims are the Timers from Missouri, winners of the pre-seasoii Eig Seven Tour ney. Since the tourney, Sparky Stul rup's new has failed to live up to advanced expectations. Losers 1 three straight conference tests. T..c iigers are currently resting nt the bottom of the Big Seven heap. Nebraska will be in much the same position Monday as they were when they dumix-d K-State. Saturday night the Misouri team tangles with Colorado, always touuh on their home floor. K-State handled the Buffs with little difficulty and the Wildcat rooters arrived in Lincoln ex pecting much the same results. Evidently, the Colorado contest, coupled with a two week lay-off by the Huskers was too much for the 'Cats. The same thing may happen to the Tigers. Tigers Dangerous One Uiing is definite, the Tigers are a capable ball club. As Harry Good stressed, they may surprise at any time, being dangerous on the road and at home. Last year the Tigers ventured on the same journey. Thry edged Colorado 49-48 and headed east for Huskerland. Nebraska provided the Tigers and the fans with one of the most exciting finishes of the season. With four seconds remaining in the game and Missouri leading 4(5-45. Husker Dick Srb stole the ba'l from a napping Tiger and raced the length of the floor for winnina tally. The jinx odds favor the Husk ers. uniy uvo teams m uu- ii two seasons, Oklahoma and Min nesota, have topped the Corn huskers on the coliseum floor. Ten teams have fallen victims to the Nebraska home lloor this year. In an effort to meet all proba bilities, Stalcup has juggled his starting combination, viewing all possibilities for a winning crew. Fowler Absent Absent from the probable starting lineups on the northern junket are Jerry Fowler, 6-6 cen ter, and George Lafferty, spark plug of early Tiger victories. Stalcup plans to start duu ineman and Bill Stauffer. for wards. Don Stroot at the pivot and Dan Witt and Ken Shockley in the backcourt. Harry Good may have to do a li'tle juggling himself. Joe Mala crk is suffering from a knee in jury and may not be ready for tei vice. In the event that Mala t ck is not able to play. Good will probably put sophomore Norm Wilncs at the lorwnrd slot. Kegular starters. Anton Lawry, Jim Buchanan, Milt Whitehead and Bob Cerv will round out the Husker starting five. New Thigh Pads.
