will have to Rive his best effort in order to retain his crown.
Chief opposition will be the Sooners Bill Carroll. Carroll beat Kehl
in the dual last Saturday, but Kchl might surprise.
Press Box

(Sports Kuitor, Pally Nebraskan)
A lot of us were surprised last
Saturday night as we listened to
the Iowa State-Nebraska basket
ball fiame over the radio. Per
haps some of you weren't, but I
am willing to venture to say that
at least 99 percent were just as
shocked as I was.
The athlete of the week was
undoubtedly Guard Joe Brown.
Brown, the guy with ice-water
for blood, is always "cool" when
the pressure is on. Every time
Coach Harry Good needs a few
points, in goes Brown.
Brown is able to grasp the
situation and do what is neces
sary to bring victory. He also
.seems to play his best game on
foreign courts something not
very common among athletes.
The Bradley, Missouri and
Iowa State games were, by far,
the best performances this year.
All of these games were played
on the road.
KK
Track Coach Ed Weir should
be given credit for the way the
dual meets have been run off.
Everyone has started promptly,
with the lield events com
mencing at seven and the run
ning events at 7:30.
It's quite a job to see to it that
every meet runs off according to
the schedule. There was a de
lay in the Sooner-Husker dual
Saturday though. The broad
jump ran overtime, but that was
through no fault of the of
ficials. Some of the Oklahoma track
sters were doubline-up on
events and that caused them to
be late with their jumps. The
mile relay was held up because
of that.
None of the spectators seemed
to mind though, for they were
listening to the basketball game,
through the courtesy of Jack
Burlcy, the announcer. They
were kept up-to-date on the
score throughout the entire meet
tlm and when the overtime started,
Burlcy held the "mike" to the
radio and gave the crowd a
chance to hear the game.
Burlcy. by the way. docs a
nice job handling the an
nouncer's job.
Most of the fans missed the
two new records set at the end
of the meet. Merwin McCon
nell's broad jump record and the
Huskers relay conquest received
no notice by the fans when they
were announced.
Knox Jones, track student
manager and staff sports writ
er, has compiled a very inter
esting "dope-sheet" for the Big
' Seven indoor meet at Kansas
City Friday and Saturday.
The sheet, according to the
best times and macks of con
ference athletes, represents a
lot of work and Jones has done
a fine job in compiling all the
figures.
Don "Moose" Cooper is laying
off work-outs this week in hopes
of fully recovering for the Big
Seven meet. If Cooper is ready,
he will add greatly to Nebras
ka's chances for another sur
prise indoor victory.
Leonard Kehl, pole vault rec
ord holder, is slowly improving
in his form. Kehl is somewhat
hampered by a back injury.
Sooner Bill Carroll is favored
to take that event, but Kehl al
. ways works the best when the
"competition is the toughest.

Cage Team
Nebraska's league leading
cagers were finally recognized in
the Associated Press' National
Standings Tuesday by being
placed in 16th place. The Corn
huskers, ignored by the ratings
for the whole basketball season,
garnered a total of 96 points.
Coach Good's cagers have a
good chance to tip their position
in the next couple of weeks with
two conference contests remain

Also representing the Big Sev

No other conference team re

Vacanti Named
Football Coach
At Fairbury
Sam Vacanti, ex-Husker quar
terback and professional football
player, has accepted the head
football coaching duties at Fair
bury High school, replacing
Frank Sullivan, who resigned.
The official announcement
came Tuesday afternoon.
The Board of Education had
interviewed many Nebraska
graduates for the position.
Vacanti will start his new and
first coaching assignment some
time in August. Vacanti is one
of Glassford's assistants for
spring practice.

Huskers. A "dead-shot" from

old hands. The squad carries a
few lettermen, but don't be sur
prised if you see some new
faces in the starting line-up
when the season opens.
The athletic department of the
University should be commended
for getting a batting cage so the
players can get in a few "cuts"
before the season starts. Let's
hope for some warm weather
(No, no. picnics), but for out
door praitice for the team.

Midwest AAV
Swimmers
Here Saturday
The Nebraska swimming pool
will be scene of another out
standing aquatic exhibition on
Saturday. The Midwest A.A.U.
championships will be held this
year in the Cornhusker pool.
Preliminaries will begin at
10 a. m. and the final results
will be at 2 p. m.
Some of the best swimmers in
the Midwest will participate in
the meet.
Of special interest to Ne
braskans will be Dick Faynter.
During his tenure at Omaha
Central Paynter dominated
Nebraska prep swimming for
three years. He holds the state
records in the 100 and 200
yard freestyle races. His out
standing accomplishment was
winning the National Junior
A.A.U. 100 yard freestyle last
year.
Also back to match their skill
against stronger competition will
be some Nebraska prep swim
mers who were in the state high
meet last week.
Dave Van de Water, who last
week set new records in the 100
yard back stroke and 150 yard
individual medley, should do
very well even though he will
have keener competition.

form sheet (Daily Nebraskan) favors the Huskers by 712 of a
point over Missouri. The Tigers, even though not a full strength,
defeated the Huskers on the local oval. With enough out-side help,
the Huskers could pull another surprise.
