Comhusker faithful, i'ho have
really had occasion to whoop it
up 5ur.ing hectic and suooess
ful football season, now turn
thpir eyes to the approaching
150-1951 basketball campaign
with puzzled looks on their faoes.
The big question everyone is
sking is what kind of team
does Coach Harry Good expect
o field this year. And the ans
wer may be a long ways off,
for Coach Good is confronted
with a variety of problems that
will have to be solved before
Nebraska can tear into the rough
Big Seven schedule.
First of all, Coach Good finds
liimself with probably the short
est squad in the conference this
year. Harry has been used to
fielding (team that averaged
6'S" or better the past two pears,
and both the 1948 and 1949
squads emerged s Big Seven
Co-Champions.
First Game Saturday
The 1950 squad will also go
into the first game of the year
.with Minnesota t Minneapolis
Saturday night with the least
experience of any Big Seven
lub.
Good, starting his fifth sea
son here, finds himself without
the services of ten members from
last yearls squad.
Nebraska's chances this year
Test on the shoulders of the only :
two returning regulars, Jim
Buchanan and Bob Pierce. An-1
other letterman. Norm Wilnes,
XfalRI(3Dfii
will also strengthen the team.
Pierce, senior from Lincoln
who played forward the tast
two seasons, has been switched
to center to fill the vacancy left
by the graduation of Bus White
head, the foot, 9 inch record
breaking scorer.
Buchanan, the Hoosier Hot
shot," wound tap third in team
scoring last year and should be
one of the top guards in the
conference this year. Jim is the
most consistent shooter among
the trio of returnees, his two
handed set shot and one-handed
jump shot being very hard to
stop.
Hit li IVr-Cent
Norman Wilnes, the third re
turning veteran, saw service at
forward last year, hitting 41 per
cent of his field goal attempts to
lead Nebraska in that depart
ment. The rest of the squad will be
composed mostly of sophomores
and "B" teamers. Here lies the
biggest -if" of the 1950-53 sea
son. If these men can fill the
shoes of such ol avers as Lawrv.
Cerv, Malecek, and Gates, Ne
braska could have a very in
teresting season.
Aner tne Minnesota opener,
the team will pause long enough
in Lincoln next Monday, Dec
4, to nlay Northwest Missouri
Teachers, and then head for the
west coast to meet Washington,
California, and Santa Clara.

afternoon after the Cornhuskers had roared back from a 14

A sports writer for the TJaily
Oklahoman by the name of Jack
Murphy was far from thrilled
et Oklahoma '"victory over Ne

comment aboiffr the game was
"'Ho hum.""
The following are excerpts
from Murphy's story which ran
tinder the headline "After SO

Norman, Not. 25. Ho hum.
The nation's No. 1 football team

A crowd of 54,000 went -slightly

"Ohlahoma has a great team,""
he snid shortly. '"They're well

Many of the Sooners support

"'TO take Vessels,"" said Claude
Arnold, the Big Red's clever
field general "'He's a better
back.'
Vessels averaged better than
11 yards per carry in racing 208
yards on 18 .attempts. His .fi9
yard touchdown run in the third
.quarter sending Oklahoma
ahead, 42-21, easily outshone
Reynolds.
Trash Wrestlers
Out of Meet
An additional hit of informa
tion came today from the Intra

the 1950-51 Intramural Wrestling
which will start on Tuesday, Dec.
12.

this move would give the less

encourage a larger turnout -of
mat hopefuls.
Six Volleyball
Teams Remain
Only six teams remain in the
quest of the All-University Vol
leyball .championship after play
off action Monday night. Four
of the six remaining outfits
came through victorious with not
too much serious trobule Mon
day. The other two had a .day of
rest before venturing into the
battle Tuesday night.
Delta Upsilon captured two
straight victories -over Sigma
Phi Epsilon to move up a round.
The scores of the successive
wins for the DU's were 15-9,
15-8.
Sigma Alpha lpsilon had a lit
tle rougher time of it, but was
not extended beyond two games
either as it tripped Phi Kappa
Psi by scores of 15-13 and 15-12.
Phi Delta Theta and Alpha
Gamma R.ho were idle Monday,
but resume action Tuesday, the
Phi Delts against the DU's and
the AGR's against the SAE's.
Lutherans Are Champs
The Lutheran Student Asso
ciation added a little luster to
its already won Interdenomina
tional championship as they pol
ished off Presby House in the
Denom finals. The LSA'ers had
it easy the first game, winning
15-3, but Presby .came back
strong to make it a game before
losing the second game, 12-15.
The Cosmopolitan Club .con
tinued its terrific pace as it
plastered Cornhusker Cc-op,
15-4 and 15-9. The Cosmo boys
slipped a little, however, as the
nine points the Co-op .chalked
up were about the most anyone
has -scored against them thus
far this year. With the Jtwo wins,
the Cosmo Club was awarded
the Independent championship,
perfect in 24 games.
Wednesday at 5 p.m., the Lu

shoutinr just sitting down and undressing." I wonder
if Mr. Marnhv even wntured to understand whv thev were
so quiet. It's not every day that the team that is rrted
as tops in the nation hs,s S5 points scored against it!
Happy? bure. They had won a great game, but there
was nothing in the score to make them delirious. !
As for ndiculing the Huskers' attempt and Bobby
Reynolds' in particular, it has always been the custom for;
most sports writers to give credit where credit was due.!
We're giving the Sooners credit for having a great football
team, truly deserving of the top of the nation, but we also
know that no Comhusker need to bow his head when
speaWng of the game. The Scarlet gave their best and it
came out a.s S5 points, more than any other team has
scored on Oklahoma in over five years.
Td be careful, Mr. Ho-Hum; one of these days that
bubble is going to explode.
Congratulations are in store for Coach Glassford, his
associates, and everyone responsible for a very, very suc
cessful football season for Cornhuskerland. It has been
a mighty long drought, too many years of taking what the
rest of the football world had to give and liking it But,
at long last, that's all over. At least, the average football
fan in the state now finds himself talking the University
of Nebraska along: with other gridiron giants.
It has been mighty pleasing on my part to be able
to watch and write the recovery of KU football and so
on my behalf as well as everyone else in the state con
gratulations, Huskers, and thanks!
