Why hasn't Coach Harry
Good's basketball team received
the national recognition they so
richly deserve? How many times
have you asked that question
only to be answered, "they play
weak schedule."
That weak schedule stuff is
just a place for sports-writers to
hang their hat when they have
to answer a question that might
cause their face to become a vivid
red.
Let's take a took at the cur
rent Husker's record and then
decide whether it was weak or
not.
True, Nebraska started out the
season with two breathers in
Northwestern Missouri Tchrs.
and South Dakota State, but they
did turn in decisive wins.
The "Teachers" fell 58-39 and
the "Sodnks" felt the axe, 61-32.
Everyone can remember that the
subs played most of the last half
in both games.
Bradley Tech proved to be the
first defeat for the Huskers.
Playing without the services of
ace rcbounder Joe Malacck and
t Peoria, the Huskers fell 69-55.
Bradley is ranked fourth in the
nation and they have been in the
elite 10 all season.
Colorado Stops NU
Bouncing bark from the per
turbing loss, the current crop of
' Good-boys" ran up a streak of
four consecutive victories before
falling to Colorado in the Big
Seven pre-season tourney at
Kansas City.
Before the Colorado defeat, the
convincingly walloped Colorado
State, 63-43; Idaho, 66-45: Bay
lor, 69-55 and Iowa btate leacn
ers, 60-54.
Nebraska was dumped twice at
KC, Colorado won 67-57 and
Michigan pulled a victory out of
the fire 67-65. The next night,
the Huskers turned the gas up
during the five minute overtime
to completely humiliate Iowa
State 86-67.
New Record
In those short five minutes.
Bus Whitehead and gang ran up
19 points to set a new overtime
record in Big Seven tourney
play.
Back from the grueling tour-
licv, the Cornhuskers continued
on their winning way until their !
neighbors from Colorado acain
cut their victory string. This
time it was at Colorado and Ken
dall Hills doing the "dirty-work."
The two-minute rule ran be
credited with an assist for the
Buffs. They held a slight edge
with just two minutes left, but
they stretched it to a 13 point
margin as the game ended. That
happens to be the worst defeat 1
slapped on the Huskers this sea- !
con.
High-riding Kansas State, cur- 1
rently ranked tenth in the ria- I
tion, had their wings clipped in '
an overtime tilt at the Coliseum, '
65-62. Bob Gates was the hero j
of the night as he sunk a 40 foot
set shot from mid-court.
Bob proved to his skeptical
mates that it wasn't just luck.'
The next day. in practice, he
potted two from approximately
the same place.
Missouri, licking their wounds
from a two-point defeat at the
hands of Colorado, found no re
lief from the Huskers. Coach
Harry Good's team, even though
on an off night, proved to be bad
medicine for the ailing Tigers.
The Huskers chalked up win
number four in the conference
race to keep even with Kansas
State the team so many have
tabbed as the team to beat.

Jayhawks Loom as Big Threat to Husker Title Hopes
BY Kimon Karabatsos
Nebraska's basketball forces
get the "acid-test" Saturday
night when they invade Law
rence, Kas., for an important Big
Seven encounter with Kansas
University.
Currently tied with Kansas
State for the conference lead
with four victories and one de
feat. Coach Harry Good's cagers
might get the chance to take
over the command spot.
If the Huskers win at Law
: rence and Missouri keeps pace
with their jinx on K-State at
Columbia, it will leave Nebraska
on top of the mad scramble. That
"if" looms very big because Jack
Gardner's quintet is determined
to break the Missouri heckle.
Second Chance
On the other hand, Nebraska
Sig Eps Still on Top;
Phi Gams, FH Climb
BY DILL ML'NDELL.
(Assistant Sport Editor)
It's still Sigma Phi Epsilon,
Sigma Nu, and Delta Tau Delta
on top of the pack in the third
week of Intramural Basketball
Ratings. Fourteen teams have
fallen before the powerful three
since the season's start, practic
ally all by one-sided scores.
Top ranked Sig Eps added their
fifth win last week, an easy 42-24
conquest of Phi Kappa Psi.
Sigma Nu came through with
two victories to pad their stand
nn the second rung, a 41-26 win
over Beta Sigma Psi and a 52
28 rout of Alpha Gamma Rho.
The Delts, holders of an early
season win over defending cham
pion Farm House, gained their
fourth victory of the year on a
forfeit from Delta Upsilon.
The fast rising Farm House
capers climbed from sixth last
week to occupy fourth position,
replacing the ATO's who
dropped to fifth. The Ar boys
swept to two easy victories
last week, one a 44-23 rout of
previously unbeaten Tau Kap
pa Epsilon.
Behind the fifth place Taus
and sixth place Inter-Varsity
which dropped a peg. being idle,
came Phi Delta Thcta and the
Lutherans in the same postiions
they occupied last week.
A newcomer made its appear

won 12 games without a defeat
an envious record any way that
you might look at it.
Saturday the Huskers invade
Lawrence and another duel be
tween "giants" is in the making.
Clyde Lovellette, currently lead
ing Big Seven scorers and one
of the nation's leaders with his
22.3 point average per game, will
have to do better this time to
prove KU's advance notices on
him.
He has been tabbed the best
center in the Big Seven. Buster,
1 in the last meeting, had the
Terre Haute "Terror" completely
baffled and the crowd was a lit
: tie "disappointed" over the big
build-up given the match.
Some say that Nebraska
counts too much on Whitehead.
Sure, Bus is the nucleus of the
I tram, but Coach Good has
; plenty of other players who
have come through In the
pinches. Joe Brown came
through at Bradley with high
point honors.
Joe Malacek did his bit at
Colorado as did Jimmy Buchanan.
Tony Lawry has did more than
his bit when it comes to scoring
and rebounding. Bob Pierce can
also be given some credit for
Stewart work under the baskets.
If the Huskers win Saturday
night, sports-writers will have to
think of a better excuse to please
me. The "weak-schedule" stuff
will be worn out.
The rest of the games on the
Husker schedule are conference

will have to break into the win
column as far as conference
games are concerned on foreign
courts. Nebraska has stepped out
against Big Seven foes only once
in regular conference play.
It proved to be a disastrous
step as Frosty Cox's Buffaloes
upset the Huskers 72-59. That
happens to be the worst defeat
slapped on this year's Husker
basketball edition.
Kansas, with giant Clyde Lov
ellctte, is in fourth place. Lovel
lette has hit 42 per cent of his
shots from the field and owns
an excellent 52 per cent record
on his gratis shots. In their game
with Colorado last Saturday, the
Jayhawk center hit 12x32 field
goals and 6x10 free throws for a
total of 30 points.

Phi Gamma Delta "B" took

ratings replacing Delta Upsilon

are all-victorious in five games.

Victory
BY KNOX JONES.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will
have their hands full on Satur
day when they meet the Univer
sity of Kansas track team under
the east Stadium in a dual meet
starting at 7 p. m.
The Jayhawks ,who have
never been victorius over the
Huskers in a dual meet, are go
ing all out in an effort to turn
the trick. In 1945 and '46, they
managed to come within 12
points of a tie, but since then
they have been severely
trounced.
Bill Easton, Kansas coach, is
counting on his strength in the
half mile, mile, two-mile and
hurdles to upset the Huskers. He
is hoping for outside points in
the quarter, high jump and pole
vault.
After Four Records
Four meet records, the mile,
two-mile, half-mile and mile re
lay, will be in jeopardy. Harold
Brook's 4:22.1 mile mark has
been on the books for nine years,
but Kansas ace Bob Karnes has
bettered this mark on several
occasions and according to word
from the Lawrence school he will
be out to set a new mark.
Lee Moore, Husker sophomore.
has a 4:24.5 mile to his credit
and may give Karnes a stiff ar
gument. Pat Bowers, Big Seven in
door champion and record holder
in the 880, will be after his own
half-mile mark which he set last
year in 1:57.8. Bowers may
double back in the mile as well.
Herb Semper, Cliff Abel and
Karnes are all capable of break
ing the two-mile record now
held by Karnes and Nebraska's
relay team ran the mile three
seconds under the present relay
mark of 3:29.8 as they set a new
record against Minnesota last
week.

"Wells is a hustling, aggres
