Four to Go
To Purdue
Coach Ed Weir announced
Monday afternoon that he will
enter three seniors and one ju
nior in the annual running of the
Purdue Indoor Relays at Lafay
ette, Indiana on Saturday, March
25.
Weir will take senior hurdlers
Bob Berkshire and Ray Magsa
men, senior middle-distance man
Harold Kopf. and junior pole
vaulter Dan Cooper.
Berkshire and Magsamen will
be entered in the 70 yard high
and low hurdles, Kopf in the
1000 yard run and Cooper in the
vault.
The Purdue meet, one of the
biggest indoor events in the mid
west, will draw talent from Big
Seven and Big Ten conference
schools.
Cooper, former conference
vault champ, should lead the
Nebraskans. Don soared 13 feet
8 inches to place second in the
conference indoor meet this
year. Improvement of a pulled
leg muscle which hampered him
at Kansas City may enable him
to clear 14 feet.
Berkshire and Magsamen
should stand a bctter-than-even
chance of placing in both hurdles
races. Big Ten conference hurdl
ers have not shown too much
this season but several good
timber-toppers from independent
schools are expected to compete.
Kopf will have the hardest
time of any of the Huskers. He
is entered in the invitational
1000 yard run and will compete
against the best in the midwest
and some of the best in the
country.
Pairings Made
For NCAA
Tournament
The teams to participate in the
Western Regional NCAA basket
ball play-offs, at Kansas City.
Missouri, were all selected after
Bradley defeated Kansas Uni-
I versily Monday for the right to
; represent the Fifth District.
The opening round on rriflay
The Yelkins were the big guns
of the Sig Gam attack and were
instrumental in the geologists'
A. innine the chamoionshin.
ig Jack won out in a close
ttle with Lee Korte of Dorm
C for the first team center spot.
Yelkin was off his game in most
of the tourney contests, but
flashed enough brilliance to grab
the pivotal spot. His scoring
diopped considerably, but his re
bounding was terrific and he was
continually setting up Sig Cam
scoring tosses.
Brother Gene was perhaps the
outstanding man in the tourney
with his speedy fast breaking and
v uncanny e e lur lung miuls. rwiy
Vinubts that he belonged in the
first forward spot were un
founded. The other forward pots is
held down by Lavrrn Ilruza,
tricky southpaw hootinjt artist
of the Alpha Sigs. Ilruza rot
only one chance to shine in the
Ifiurnry a the Alpha Sigs
were dropped in the opening
round, but it t cenough to
Khow his 'stuff.'
He had an unstoppable left
handed push shot and hit an
amazingly high percentage of his
shots. Only through all around
' 'am work were the Pill Rollers
e to defeat Hruza and the
A.pha Sigs.
Welch Top
Probably the top man in the
guard position in the tourney was
Vern Welch of Dorm C. Welch
led his mates to the finals and
was top scorer in that final con
test. His all-around floor play
hnd jump shot made him a tough
tn, in to control.
Another man whose team

champion outfit, as was Lee
Kortr, Dorm C pivot man.
Korlr's chances suffered when
he railed to ret Into the finals
due to a sprained ankle.
Hounding out the remainder nf
the second team are Chuck Nun
Icy of Sigma Gamma Fpsilon.
f Jeorge Pmney of Pill Rollers, and
H. K. Zable of the YMCA.
Nunlcy was the second highest
scorer on the champion team and
an excellent ball handler. Pin
iey was the spark of the Pill
Rollers and led them into the
Kc-rni-finaals. Zable played an
impressive ball game despite the
terrific beating his team took in
the semi-finals.
Athletic Director George "Pot
sy" Clark announced that fif
teen freshmen basketball players

Lovellette Conld
Be Greatest
There have been many of the
so called "sky scraping freaks"
in the history of basketball.
These are the type of players who
have very little in their favor
except a lot of height which
gives them a definite advantage
in scoring points.
Many of these "freaks" pan
out into very fine basketball
players. Among these are such
former stars as Bob. Kurland,
Oklahoma A&M, George Mikan,
DePaul, and F,d Macauley of St.
Louis. All of these men made All
American. They hung up many
scoring records during their col
lege careers. At the present time
Kurland is the ace of the mighty
Phillip Oiler amateur team.
Mikan and Macauley are both en
joying great success with profes
sional teams.
Kansas University has one such
type of player who may turn into
an even great "freak" than his
predecessors. At least every na
tive citizen of the
state is hoping so. He enjoys
many nick names but Clyde
Lovellette is the one he answers
best to. Lovellette has had a
greater year in the scoring
column as a sophomore than have
Mikan. Macauley. or Kurland.
Macauley racked up 384 points
as a sophomore. Kurland hit for
444 and Mikan scored 486.
Basketball Gaining Prestige

said Coach Harry Good at a Lin

Speaking on basketball in Ne
uraska, Good commented on how

Then Paul Unruh took over
personal charge for Bradley. He
hit three field goals in 45 sec

Ed, winning the low ' board
championship at Norman a
couple of weeks ago, will be
the only Cornhusker to make
the trip. He was the only Ne
braska man to garner a first
place at the Big Seven Confer
ence meet.
Craren has been the num
ber one diver with the squad
for the past two years letter
ing in his sophomore year. He
has one more year of competi
tion enabling him to be one of
the leading divers again next
season.
Last year he won the high
board championships, but this
year he missed winning this
event by less than a point.
During the past season, he has
grabbed first places in every
meet except against Minnesota,
in which he was edged out of
first place by three points.
Tramp Artist
Besides being a top diver,
Craren has also excelled on the
trampoline. Last year he won
the Big Seven championship on
the trampoline, and this year he
captured first places in two dual
meets. However, conflicting
gymnastics meets and swim
ming meets forced him from
working the trampoline in the
other gymnastics meets.
AMES Six swimmers have
been entered in the national
meet at Ohio State. One, how
ever, will not compete. Sam
Shiffler, one of the nation's top
divers, has withdrawn from the
meet because of injuries suffered
in the recent Big Seven meet at
Oklahoma.
Roger Watts, greatest of Iowa
State's free style stars, will head
the Cyclone squad in the na
tionals. He'll swim in the 1,500
meters, the 220 and 440 yard
free style events.
The brililant sprint quartet of
Bob Brown, Dick Kullman, Ed
LaBerge and Male Schmidt will
enter the 440-yard free style re
lay. The individual members of
the team will also compete in the
50 and 100-yard sprints.
borne out by the attendance at
basketball encounters. He
pointed out the record crowds
at Nebraska games and the
spirit of the fans.
The state High school tourney
was given as an excellent ex
ample of the rabid fans of the
nation's number one attendance
maker.
"Basketbr.ll was originally
started to give athletes something
to do between football and track.
Now it has grown tn the place
where practically every school
has it on their agenda," said
Good.
Basketball State
Nebraska's present number one
man said that in reality, Nebras
ka was a basketball state. "In
state which is composed mainly
of small towns where male at
tendance at schools varies from
eight to up in the hundreds, bas
ketball predominates because the
smaller communities need some
common bond."
Good introduced the 1949-50
basketball Big Seven co-championship
team after he was in
troduced by Toastmaster Roy
Ramsey.
The team was officially hon
ored for their "terrific job" by
Clarence Swanson, vice-president
of the chamber.
Good will have five returning
lettermen, two forwards, a cen
ter and two guards, with which
to build next year's team.
