Huff aloes Ready
For Baseball
Altho finishing fourth in last
year's conference race, the Colo
rado baseball squad was the top
defensive team in the league. The
Buff nine piled up a fielding av
erage of .947 for first place
honors.
' Despite a fourth place notch in
ihp standings, the Buffs proved
to be the "flies in the ointment"
for a host of would-be chara

Coach Harry Good's 1950 edi
tion of the Huskers' basketball
squad makes its final home ap
pearance Saturday night against
Oklahoma in the Coliseum.
Game time is 7:30 p. m.
Regardless of the outcome, the
Huskers have compiled the best
record of any Nebraska quintet
in modern times. Thev have
swept past 12 opponents to re
main undefeated at nome ana
have a season mark of 16 wins
and five losses. Two of the five
defeats were to Big Seven foes.
A Nebraska loss woald
would practically ruin any
title hopes. They would be
forced to win the Kansas
State game at Manhattan,
March 11, and that would only
give them a tie, providing the
Wildcats aren't upset by that
time.
If Coach Jack Gardiner's out
fit should happen to be upset
either by Missouri or Kansas, it
would make no difference if the
Huskers lost Saturday, but it
isn't very probable that they
will.
Double Reason
The Sooncrs have a two-fold
motive in winning Saturday.
The first is revenge and the
second, they want to preserve

Delfs Mold Lead as

By Bill Mundell
Three unbeaten teams surged
toward the 1950 All-University
Basketball Championship with
Delta Tau Delta maintaining
their slim lead in the chase. Close
behind the leaders. Alpha Tau
Omega and Phi Gamma Delta
are clamoring for the lead.
The Delts grabbed win number
eight last week and a sure spot
in the playoffs by repeating their
early season win over Farm
House. This time more convin
cingly, 36-27.
The ATO'S had a breather
in their Acacia contest, win
ning handily, 41-6. It was the
seventh straight Tau victory.
The Phi Gams racked-up two
lop-sided triumphs over the
week, crushing Pi Kappa Phi,
81-33 and walloping Delta Sigma
Pi, 49-18. The wins were num
ber eight and nine for the ram
paging Figis.
Sigma Gamma Epsilou Up
The too independent outfit of
the University, Sigma Gamma
F.nsilon. finished their regular
season with a perfect record by
blasting Geology 57-24. The vic
tory was the sixth for the SGE's
and lifted them a peg in the
standings to fifth behind Phi
Delta Theta.
The Phi Delts took w in num

its second defeat at the hands
of the leading Delts. The ag

The remaining four teams re

Sigma l'hi Kpsilon, only con
querors of the Phi Dells, won
their seventh contest in eight
games, crushing Theta Xi, 52-28.
Sigma Nu won their eighth
out of nine, blasting Delta
games and rank above them in
the standings.

games. All hands are back in

Sooners Tough
The Sooners, like Nebraska,
are at their best when the games
are close. Last year, Oklahoma
won three out of four overtimes.
Included in the three was Ne
braska, 56-49.

The Sooners can't be passed
by the board, though. The

in the nation, had to stave off
a last minute rally to defeat
the Sooners, 57-55, at Nor

Lutherans Hold
The Lutheran Student House
maintained their slim lead over
the rest of the Denominational
field by finishing their season
with a win over Presby House.
Tk i nihurans rounded out their
schedule with a record of 7-3,
Newman Club and inter vai

each winning handily over the
Methodists and Cotner House.
Both outfits own a record of 8--,

the Lutherans are rated on top
because of their apparent play
ing superiority over the two.
Phi Tsi's Enter
The Phi Kappa Psi "B" team
made its first appearance Fri
day entering the B ratings in
ninth position. The Phi Psi's
have won three out of their last
four contests anrd now own a
record of 3-4.
The first four rated teams held
their places over the week with
the only change in the fourth
division coming in the filth spot.

and traded rungs with Alpha

Other changes include Sigma

ninth to eighth and Kappa Sigma
falling from eighth to tenth.

Large Crowd
Coach Neal Mchring's Husker
"B" team meets York college
"B" in a return engagement at
5:40 p.m. in the preliminary
event. This game will probably
draw the largest attendance ever
for a "B" team game at Ne
braska. By word of the nol-so-faith
fill grapevine, it was heard
that all sororities, fraternities
and dorms were going to set
up box lunches for their mem
bers so that they will be able
to get to the game before the
rush.
The "boxes" are due to be
ready between 4 p. m. and 5:30.
What the sports department is
wondering, is if everyone goes
early, they'll still have to battle
the crowd. Oh well, its all part
of campus life.
Tigers Are 'Cats'
Yi Headache
The biggest headache for the
Kansas State basketball title
hopes is Missouri. The two teams
will clash at Manhattan on Fri
day night.
Earlier in the season the Tigers
had lost three games in a row
when Jack Gardner brought his
high riding Wildcats to Columbia
for a supposedly snap victory.
The Tigers took this opportunity
to claw the Kansas Staters out of
the conference lead with a 59-43
win.
Thi was the only victory
that the Tigers were able to
salvage out of a nine game
conference schedule.
The second game will be al
most a carbon copy of the first.
This time the Wildcats will have
the advantage of playing on their
home court.
Oddly enough though, the
Tigers are now sporting a four
game losing streak which may be
an advantage for them. They are
due for a win. During the last
three years Kansas State has
been able to defeat Missouri only
once.

Back Coach
The Kansas state Doaiu ii u-

new ouck iitiu m.... y
added to the Wildcat football
coaching staff.
He is Bob White, 30 year
old former Indiana U. star,
who was the leading ground
gainer in the all-Big Ten con
ference in 1942.
Coach Graham, who screened
nearlv 65 candidates for the
backfield job, said he selected
White because "he fits into our
situation better than anyone I
interviewed."
Graham coached White while
at Indiana in 1940-41-42. White
who was fullback and captain of
the grid team averaged 5.7 yards
each time he carried the ball.
That average betters by one-half
the record made this past season
by Gerald Hackney, Wildcat full
back ace. It also made White
a leading ground gainer in tne
Big Ten Conference.
