With Buffs biting the dust for the first time in league play, the race for the conference flag is .shaping up between Ne braska, Oklahoma and Colorado with the Huskers having an edge ever their opponents. Following up in a third place tie are Kansas State, Missouri, and Kansas. The school that can be assured as to where it can place is Iowa State who is de stined to end up in the cellar, a place . cherished by the Corn buskers last year. X U at Iowa State Nebraska players will have the opportunity to pull further in the lead this week-end if they can grab both games from the hapless Cyclones. Oklahoma and Colorado will also battle in a two game series. If the Sooners can whip the Buffs in both conlesti. the Colorado batsmen, can also throw in their .towels and take their places with the also-rans. SUO H t I AAlHtO. ev w i nit.. JfKBKASKA, t .?!

(Sport Editor, Daily Xebnukan). The University of Nebraska will be host to 781 high school track and field stars from 231 schools, representing the largest field ever to compete in a stats high school classic in Nebraska this Friday and Saturday. Prepsters from the panhandle to the Missouri, from the sand hills to the Republican Valley wjll invade the campus to cheer their favorites on in hopes of a victory. A record crowd is ex pected to witness the "Cream of the Nebraska Crop" in action. First Trip to N.U. For many of these students, it will mean their first trip to Lin coln and the University's campus. Will they go back home with a good first impression of their state "University, or will it mean a cold, forbidding mass of build ings that breed fear and con tempt. You, the students, coaches and faculty are the ones, to answer that question. It hasn't been so long that you can't remember your first : impression of the University. Was it a good one? Did you ' have a feeling of not being wanted? Most of the competitors will -be from smaller towns and ' schools and are not familiar to ' the hustle-bustle of students ' rushing from building to '. building and classes to classes. ' They come from towns and ' schools where they know everyone and if they don't ' they speak io strangers and ' soon make friends. Nebraskans ' pride themselves In being ' friendly and hospitable. Let's ' show these prospective Husk- : ers that we. here at the Univer sity, are also friendly. Chancellor G usfauson. Coaches Glassford. Good and " their subordinates and not " overlooking Messrs. Clark, ' Klein and Rentier have done much to foster "Husker Spirit tbruout the 'state. They have traveled many miles, giving ' speeches, visiting schools, wit- ' nesfftng footoall -and -basket- ball ames to promote the Uni versity. Nebraska is in its re-build ing stage. A lot depends on how many athletes come to Nebraska within the next year or twtf. On Way Up. After ten years of being tnv! on by other schools of the con ference, things are beginning to look up. Coach Good has g'';n us two consecutive h' tna'.l crowns more than any er basketball coach has done Icr the Huskers. Coach Glassford will fi?Id a team this coming fall that will take the r-'k-seat to no one when it comes to fieht and spirit. Tabbed the "dark horse." I predict some surprising, but pleasing results next falL This week end will be the de ciding factor to a it of atnletes as to where they will go to school rext fall let's bring them to Nebraska.
