Minsk Pm Seosora's -1 BY KIMON KARABATSOS 1 8 o r t n Kdltor Pally Nrbntfikari I Saturday night will tell the tale. Will the University of Ne braska establish a new record in Husker-land by scoring an upset victory over the Kansas State Wildcats to give them at least another co-championship. This, if it happens, will mark the first time the Huskers would be wearing the Big Seven bas ketball crown two years in a row, A Husker loss could drop i them from the race, but they still could be in the running tor a three-way tie Kansas State and Kansas. Oklahoma would have to pull another upset by trouncing Coach Phog Allen's! one man team at Norman. ! The Sooners, always known for their strong finish, could ' drop them. I Three Possibilities j A Nebraska win and a Kansas loss would set Coach Harry Good's cagers a full game ahead of the field and drop Kansas into j second and K-State third. A Wildcat win and a Javhawk loss would put the two teams ! in a two-way tie. The odds are definitely against the Huskers. They are playing at Manhat tan in Nichol s gym, a cracker box, before a strictly 3,000 par tisan crowd. Only Kansas State Sport Spotlight Swings To Base By Bob Banks With the indoor sports season almost over the Cornhusker sportlight will now swing around to Coach Tony Sharpe and his diamond men. To date the baseball squad have confined their daily chores to the field house indoor quarters because of the opposition on the part of the weather man. They have been able to get in a lot of valuable practice with the new facilities. Of special value is the new cage which permits both pitchers and batters to go at a pretty good rate of speed. The first rame of the season is only four weeks away so Coach Sharpe Is hoping that the weather will take a change for the better. He wants to get his charges outdoors where they can have more room plus the benefit of the sun. The pitching turps will be headed by veteran Elroy Gloy stein. He has be bedfast in the Student Health Center with a pulled muscle in his back. Gloy stein is expected to be be back in a week. Others who will figure in on Sharpc's mound plans are Bob Jenkins, and Linus Vrbka. Jen kin is a south paw. He was on the squad last year and saw con siderable duty as a relief hurler. Sharpe has high hopes for Sopho more Vrbka. He is back in uni form after being out with a Charley horse. Novak in Baseball c.,(,.hn Ti.ni Nnvak will now turn his full time attention to biting "laseballs instead of half backs, e is slated for the num ber one catching berth but Miphomores Bob Lohrberg and Bob Steinberger wil see plenty t.t ur'tuin The infield lineup is still un certain. Lettermen Bill Denkcr, Bob Grogan, Hobe Hays, and j Don Hays are getting a strong argument for starting positions from sophomores John Rego, Bill Jensen, and Bob Diers. Kay Mladovich, former Omaha MeU star, is being con verted from short stop to a firt baseman. He has been Woking go4)d around the first sack and should play a lot of good ball for the squad. Coach Sharpe's pride and joy is outfielder Bob Cerv. Cerv veilds a bat which usunlly is over the 300 mark. He is a crafty base runner and fast on his feet. Cerv has been with the basket ball team but will report for practice after the last game. Another outfielder who will bolster the Nebraska squad is letterman Buzz Powley. Joe Benak and Bob Hindc were both on iie squad last year and they will be barked up by transfer swient Bill Fitzgerald and tr-V omo: Keith Sail.

A look in the files states that Kansas State should win the Big Seven title with ease, with Oklahoma being the "dark-horsCf" January 29, the Huskers pulled a major upset by trip ping the Wildcats. 65-63, in a thrilling overtime game that had a rapacity 9,600 crowd standing almost the entire last half. K-State will be seeking re venge and a long night is in store for the Huskers. In the height department, the Cornhuskers will have a decided advantage, but you can't sell the Wildcats short when it comes to rebounding. Coach Jack Gardner's crew, led by "grandpa" Clancy Bran num, is one of the most hustling teams in the conference. Nebraska won their last en counter with the Cats mostly by out-hustling the Kansas crew and bv balanced scoring on the part of Tony Pawry, Bus White head and Bob Pierce.
