BY KIMON
(Npnrte r.dltor, lBlly Nrnimsku)
Coach Harry Good's valiant Huskers, determined to
win from the opening tip, did just that as they proved
that you can't Tbeat Nebraska three times in a row
especially when the third in on their home court.
Aided with Bus Whitehead's 21 points, the Corn
huskers added life to their bid for another Big Seven
cage crown. The win moved Nebraska into a two-way
Kansas State for the Conference lead.
Slow SUrt
After a rather slow start, the
Husker caught lire with Jim
Buchanan leading the way with
two quick field goals one a
drive-in set shot and the other
a 20-footer.
Whitehead potted one on his
hook shot and gave Nebraska a
one-point lead. 11-10. Buchanan
meshed another long shot to keep
on the pace. The Buffaloes
caught up on three free throws.
Whitehead sank his first of
seven free throws before Carr
Beseman, Roger Stokes and Rod
Bell connected on their gratis
fhotj. Buster countered with a
tip-iti to recapture the one point
,ead for the Huskers at 18-17.
Joe Brown, after about two
t minute of play, had hi third
i foul assessed and Kendall Hills
look fall advantage to tie the
score.
Gates ran the string of free
throws made- to 16. sinking two.
Tucker made a jump shot and
Besemann potted one from the
kev-hole to give Colorado a two
point margin with five minutes
remaining in the first half.
Anton Lawry and Besemann
traded gift shots before Lawry
sank one from the field to tie
the game at 23-all.
Gates Gives Lead
Gates once more gave the
Huskers a two-point margin on
a beautiful jump shot from the
free throw ring. A minute later,
Whitehead spotted him under the
basket, passed, and Gates laid
. one up for two.
Stokes, the fellow who started
the Buffs scoring in the first
half, ended it with the same
a free throw.
Cerv hit free throws 19 and
21 just before the gun sounded,
ending the first twenty min
utes of play.
Both teams had perfect per
centages from the free throw line
during the first half. Colorado
had the advantage, scoring 12
to Nebraska's nine.
The second half scoring started
tthe same way as Bell connected

was never in doubt as Buster
went on a scoring spree to score
ten points during the remainer
of the game.
29 Minutes
The perfect record at the free
throw line kept all fans inter
ested. After playing 29 minutes
tthe record was finally cut off
and as luck would have it, by a
Husker.
With the string now at 28, the
only thing left to do was see if
Colorado could end the evening
with a perfect slate of charity
tosses. They couldn't, but they
continued their string for five
minutes until Armatas let one
roll around the rim and then
drop out.
Froisted was the only other
Coloradian to miss from the key
hole. Just before the two-minute
rule came into effect, the
substitute forward failed to take
advantage of Gates' foul.
The Buffaloes ended the night's
play with 21-23 free throws
made. The Huskers missed four
of their 21 attempts, but two of
the near-hits came from players
who had seven or more attempts.
Roger Stokes made the most
without missing, hitting six for
six players returning from last
year's squad.
The coaching staff feels that
tha Cornhuskers will be deeper
than a year ago, but Inexperi
ence will be present in large
quantities.
"There remains at least an
other year of building, possibly
two," Coach Glassford stated.
Glassford hopes to climax the
spring drills with a game against
the Old Timers on April 8. The
veterans would include Ne
braska players who have gradu
ated within the last few years.
The canaidate are by no
means taking it easy at the pres.
ent time. The players are round'
ing into shape for the spring
drills with regular sessions of
handball in the newly finished
Field House.
Boy seeing their fourth year
of Husker football will be
Richard Goeglein and Charles
Toogood, tackles; Arthur Bauer
and Rex Hoy, guards; and Frank
Meyer and William Mueller,
backs.
Besides, Novak, other boys that
won't be seen in he Cornhusker
line-up this coming season will
be Kenneth Fischer and Del
Wiegand, quarterbacks; Darwin
Salestrom. Arden Means, and
Mike DIBiase, guards; Harry Me-
elnms. halfback: and Bob Sen
neider, Ralph Damkroger and
Ray Maesamnn, end.

October 28, 1950, is destined to"
become a historic day for college
football. According to plans re
cently made by the University
of Virginia, it has a football game
scheduled with North Carolina at
Charlottesville. Recently, West
Virginia announced that they also
have arranged to play Virginia
at Charlottesville on the same
date.
This was brought to light at a
recent Southern Conference
meeting at Lynchburg, Virginia.
According to West Virginia ath
letic head, Roy Hawley, the
Mountaineers dont have an open
date, and Carolina has an open
date on October 21, but Virginia
doesn't.
By the looks of things, the only
solution to the problem is a
double-header.
Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles
will meet in a heavyweight
title bout In Yankee Stadium
this summer, Charles' manager
predicted yesterday.
"Louis should be ready for his
comeback this summer" said Jake
Mintz, Charles' manager. "The
game has been kind to him, and
now it needs him to revive the
big-million dollar spectacle."
Brushing aside the idea that
Charles might lose his National
Boxing Association crown to
Freddie Beshore in their title
fight, February 28, Mintz said
that Charles will forget he's a
friend of Louis.
According to Oscar Fraley,
United Press Sports Writer, a
chain reaction resulting from
athletic dishonestly is forcing
football into the back-ground and
booming basketball into inter
collegiate promince.
six. Whitehead had the most
chances at eight with Cerv close
behind with seven.
Lawry was able to manage a
clean slate from the gratis-circle
for Nebraska. Buffaloes defend
ers picked on five Nebraska
players, giving them the free
throws. Nebraska, one the other
hand, spread their 21 fouls over
nine of the ten players to sec
action for the Buffs.
Colorado slipped into a two
way tie for second with Kansas
University, but both of these
teams still have a chance for
the crown.

Alpha Sigs
Win Again
Unbeaten Alpha Sigma Phi
clinched at least a tie for first
place in Independent League II
Friday night by handing ASME
its first defeat, 32-28. The Al
pha Sigs can enter the playoffs
undisputedly by whipping the
Gunners next Tuesday. An Al
pha Sig loss coupled with an
ASME win over Trident will call
for a rematch of the two teams.
The Alpha Sigs were never in
great danger despite a rousing
finish by the engineers. Hyrza

a total of 12 while three men
shared top honors for the losing
engineers. Bapp, Buchanan, and
Anderson all scored six.
The Pill Rollers also clinched
a tie for first in league III, drop

The Rollers finished their regu
lar season play with a four win,
one loss record. Three teams

tying the Pharmacists for first.
They are the Pick-Ups, the P.E.
Club, and the team that defeated
the Rollers, the Mustangs. All
have suffered but one loss.

With 39 Pts.
Clyde Lovellette, Kansas U's
sensational center, established
a new Big Seven scoring record
as the Jayhawks singed the Mis
souri Tigers 59-52 at Lawrence
Friday night.
Lovellette, who has been able
to break the 20 mark against
every team the Jayhawks have
played, excluding Nebraska, sank
17 field goals and five free
throws for 39 points. His tre
mendous shooting broke the 38
point record held by Gerald
Tucker of Oklahoma.
Tucker's record was set against
Nebraska in 1943.
Not only did the "Terre Haute
Terror" break the scoring rec
ord, but he also almost clinched
the all-time total scoring record
for one season. The Jayhawks
have four conference games to
play and the mark is almost sure
to fall.
Big Clyde' record breaking
total couldn't have come at a
more opportune time. Missouri
held a half time margin after
leading thruout the entire first
half. With three minutes to go
in the half Lovellette broke
loose on his scoring rampage
to shatter any Missouri dreams
for an upset.
In a previous game, Missouri
almost upset Ohio State, Big Ten
leaders. The Buckeyes scored six
points in the last minute and
a half of play to eke out a 47-46
win.
