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.

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.

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

being classed a definite pre-sea-son

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

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

Pierce hit a terrific 5x6 from
the field to score 10 points.

, The continued bad weather
forced Coach Bill Classford and !
his gridders to practice in the

Fundamentals of blocking and
tackling continued to receive the
chicl emphasis. The Husker

linemen in an effort to find the i
best possible combination.
The first string line found Joe
McGill at center, Walt Spellman i
and the converted fullback, Don
Strasheim, at the guard posts.

the Warriors, 52-31.
