Hushers Invade Kansas Fr om the
For Saturday Cage Contes SP;
Jayhawks
Seeki
Revenge
nir
PhoR Allen's powerful Kansas
University cagers will be out for
revenue this Saturday as they
play hosts to Nebraska's Carn
liuskcrs at Lawrence. Dr. Allen's
Jayhawks, led by hiRh-scoring
Sophomore Clyde Lovelette, will
be seeking their ninth victory of
the season and their fourth in
Big Seven Conference "play.
The Kansans, doped in pre
season to finish third in the con
ference, suffered a one point de
feat. 57-56. at the hand of the
league leading Cornhuskers at
the start of the season, which
until Monday's loss to Colorado,
was the lone blemish on the Jay
hawk conference record.
The Huskcrs. unbeatable on
their home court, will try to start
their winning ways on the road.
In the only conference game the
league-leaders have played away
from home, they finished on the
Fhort end of the score, losing at
Colorado. Nebraska, winner of 11
straight at home, has only cap
tured one out of five on the
load, that victory an overtime
win over Iowa State in the Kan
sas City Tournament.
Lovellette Terrific
The star of the Kansas team,
LoveUette, has been hitting at a
terrific pace since having a bad
night at Lincoln. In fact, that
was the only bad night the tall
boy has had all year. Whether
be was just "off" that evening or
whether the Husker defense had
him bewildered will probably be
proven in Saturday's contest.
lovellette has scored 356
points in 16 games this year, an!
average of 22.3 points per game,
good enough for any league. Two
other Jay-hawkers have scored
over a hundred points in games
this year. Jerry Waugh and
Claude Houchm.
Saturday's contest will be a
battle of the two top scorers in
the conference as Nebraska's Bus
Whitehead is currently holding
down second spot with 89 points
compared to Lovellette's 123 con
ference points.
Whitehead netted 26 markers
against Kansas in their first
meeting while holding Lovellette
to 12. A similar story Saturday
and a Husker victory would not
be out of the question.
Malrcek Needed
The outcome of Saturday's
game could greatly be affected
by whether Joe Malecek is back,
ready to assume his stalwart de
fensive position for the Corn
huskers. Malecek, out of continu
ous action with a bad knee, saw
only two minutes of play in
Monday's game with Missouri.
Other conference games this
week finds Iowa State journey
ing to Colorado for their second
meeting of the year, and Mis
souri Retting the somewhat
doubtful pleasure of entertaining
the Wildcats of Kansas State.

breaker. Pi Kappa Phi overcame
a four point half-time defirit to
win a thriller by the score of
40-39. No more than five points
separated the two teams at any
time during the game.
Duane Gardner led the Pi
Kaps, dunking a total of 22
points. Mick Sisley took top
honors for the Chi's netting 18.
Kappa Sigma reached the .500
mark by routing Sigma Alpha
Mu, 41-20. The scoring was well
distributed with Curtis of the
Kappa Sigs gaining top honors
with 13 points. Swedel.son of
SAM scored ten.
The ATO "Bees" kept right on
the heels of League I leader, Phi
Coach Tony Sharpe. Husker
baseball mentor, is lather opti
mistic in his estimation of the
coming baseball season.
Sharpe, with just one week's
practice, has indicated that he
was very pleased with the form
of the returning letternien and
the prospects.
Thirty-seven men reported for
baseball, ten are returning let
ternien. Sharpe will have two
lettermen to fill the catcher's
position. Tom Novak and Dil
Blatchford are the two letter
men. Bark for another year on
the mound will be Klroy iloy
stein and Bob ( amp. Gloystein
played an important part in
the Husker 1H48 Bis Seven
championship club.
Hobe Hays, Bob Grogan and
Bill Denker will be back for an
other vear at their inlu-ld posts
as will Bob C'erv, Buz. Powley
and Dun Hays in the onllield.
Competition Hot
Coach Sharpe remarked that
competition will be the "greatest
ever" for starting berths. Seven
men who failed to earn their
monograms last year are back
to give it another try and Sharpe
Gamma Delta bv blasting the
Kappa Sig "Bees," 38-10. Smith
ami Coupens topped the Tau
scorers with nine and eight re
spectively. Curtis of the losers
scored four.
Monday's games saw both
scheduled contests forfeited. Top
ranked Independent team, Sigma
Gamma Epsilon received a for
feit from Phi Alpha Delta while
the Pick Ups were gaining a
forfeit from Norris House.
Top games on Wednesday's
agenda include Delta Upsilon
(top ranked "B" team) vs. Al

duty." Five hurlers are out for the
position vacated by Jim Sand
stead. Linus Vrbka, Sterling Van
Vleck, Ernst Behne, George Nutt
and Del Doph have been round
ing their arms into shape in
hopes for a starting nod from
Sharpe.
Bob Lohcrberg and Bob Stein
berger have high hopes of dis
placing Novak and Blatchford
behind the plate. The work that
they have shown will give the
lettermen something to worry
about.
Skalla I.rads Newcomers
With the graduation of Bob
Schleiger, Sharpe will have to

He has four good men working
out lor that position In John
Hugo, Bill Jensen, Ray Mladovich

Keith Skalla heads the list of
newcomers in the outfield. Be
sides Skalla, Sharpe will have
Bill Fitzgerald, and Bob Biers.
(Assistant Sports Editor)
Monday's basketball game with
Missouri proved one thine to the
Cornhusker faithful: the Husk- '
ers don't always play a sparkling j
cage game, but they do play well I
enough to win. If their opposition '
is terrific, then the Huskers are
a little more terrific and if their '
opposition is lousy, the Huskers i
are not quite as bad. j
What's wrong with that?
It does mean our team is a
little unpredictable in the mar
gin of victory, but it also means ;
they are quite predictable in '
what really counts a Nebraska
victory.
Monday's game was quite a
disappointment to the fans who
seem to be really concerned with
high-scoring affairs at the pres
ent time and coming on the heels j
of the Kansas State, Iowa State,
and Kansas games, it was quite
a change. ,
Good Defense
Most of the fans who were i
hollering, centered their gripes j
on the fact that the Huskers just
didn't score, at least as often as
they should have.
What most of the faithful don't
realize, however, is the fact that
the Missourians have the confer
ence's best defense. Colorado,
which outscored Nebraska at
Boulder, only netted 41 points
in beating Missouri last week.
The Tigers play that kind of
game.
Then, too, the Cornhuskers
couldn't have, been expected to
be at the peak they attained the
week before against Kansas
State. Every team experiences a
let-down after an important
struggle.
''Only one thing should be fore- 1
most in the minds of the loyal,
Nebraska won, playing good or '
bad, they won.
Saturday's game at Lawrence
should give the fans an idea of
the Huskers' ability on the road.
i Coach Good's cagers seem to be f "nnl Cl 'leef mu
two different teams in their UIUSSIOIU
games at home and those away
this year.
Their journeys have been dis
astrous to say the least, winning
only one of five contests.
The battle of the giants will be
spotlighted, again in Saturday's
game. The two league leading
scorers. Clyde Lovellette and Bus
Whitehead, will vie for top hon
ors. Whitehead outplayed and
outscored the heralded Kansas
sophomore in the two schools'
first meeting this year at Lincoln.
The final outcome of the game
Saturday could hinge directly on
whether Bus can do it again. We
hope he can.
Colorado
Nips K.U.
A basket by Buffalo Wayne
i Tucker in the last second of an
i overtime period Monday gave
j Colorado a 50-48 upset victory
over Kansas University.
Tucker's winning heave nulli
: fied a 30-point performance by
! the Jayhawks' ace, Clyde Lovel-
lette.
Both teams played the five-
minute overtime cautiously after
Kendall Hills of the Buffs tied
the score, 48-48, in the last min
ute of the game.
Hills grabbed a Kansas re
bound in the closing seconds,
then passed to Tucker who sank
a one-handed push shot from 25
feet.
Hills led the Colorado scor
ing, netting 14 points followed
by Tucker with 12. Lienhard of
Kansas scored 14 points for sec
ond behind Lovellette.
