HARRY GOOD ... is finding
the Pacific Coast competition
a little rough for his Nebraska
cagers who dropped two to
Washington.
Huskers Finish
3rd and 9th
Nebraska finished the college
football season as the number
three team in rushing offense
and the number nine team in
total offense in the National Col
legiate Athletic bureau's final
tabulations for the 1950 major
college football year. Arizona
State and Princeton wound up
as the one-two combination in
both divisions.
The Arizonans averaged 347.0
on the ground to easily win that
honor. Princeton averaged 425.4,
followed by the Huskers with
S21.6 yards rushing per game.
Then came Kansas, 311.6; Tulsa,
307.6; Washington and Lee, 299.5;
College of the Pacific, 298.0;
Clemson, 294.2; Oklahoma, 293.1
and Army with 285.3.
Princeton's average of 6.33
yards gained per play was high
for the major elevens. Lemson
with 6.16 and Kansas with 6.15
foUowed." .;
dictable Tigers, the current sen
sations of the still young cage
season, continue their tussles
with Eastern basketball teams
this week.
The week's schedule calls for
10 games involving conference
members in widely-scattered sec
tions of the country.
Tigers Surprise
Underdog Missouri Saturday
night sprang the biggest upset
by whipping City College of New
York's grand slam national bas
ketball champions, 54-37, in the
feature of a cage twin bill at
Madison Square Garden.
It was the first setback in 13
games for Nat Holman's Hot
shots, who amazed the basket
ball world last winter by sweep
ing to both the National Invi
tational and N.C.A.A. titles.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen's Kansas
Jayhakers, led by the towering
Clyde Lovellette, rolled to its
third straight seasonal win with
a 60-41 decision over St. Joseph's
of Philadelphia.
Lovellette put on a sensational
scoring exhibition to set a new
Convention Hall scoring record
for a visiting player. The Terre
Haute Terror dumped in 32
ponts on 14 field goals and four
charity tosses.
K. State Rolls
Another Big Seven juggernaut,
Kansas State, opened its new
13,000 seating capacity field
house Saturday night with a 66
56 victory over Utah State.
After registering a one-point
lass to Long Island U. in its open
er, the Wildcats have rolled over
Ohio State, Purdue, and Utah
State very handily.
Oklahoma has won both of its
games to date, defeating South
ern Methodist and Texas, two
supposedly-strong Southwest
conference teams.
Iowa State, with two victories
over weak opponents, is rated
about even with Colorado and
Nebraska.
Bradley AU-Victorius
In other games highly-regarded
Bradley continued along its
all-victorious way, winning its
fourth straight by downing De
Paul, 72-63, at Chicago Stadium.
However the Braves from Peoria
111., were extended Tuesday night
in defeating a travel-weary Ore
gon State club, 74-71.
Kentucky, perenial n a t i o n al
contender, found Purdue a soft
touch Saturday night as it romped
to an easy 70-52 victory.
Coach Adolph Rupp, known
for his ability to come up with a
bean-pole center year-after-year,
has still another this sea
son in seven-foot Bill Spivey,
who went on a first-half scor
ing spree of 17 points in the win
over the Boilermakers.
In the middlewest, Iowa, one
of the prime favorites for the
Big Ten championship, fell be
fore sharpshooting Western
Michigan, 58-49. The defending
Big Ten champ, Ohio State, re
pelled Marquiette, 76-55. .

Bobby Reynolds and Charley Toogood were both
mentioned on the All-Players' All-America Team an
nounced Sunday. Bobby, the Husker galloping sopho
more, was honored by being voted on the first string
offensive backfield while dependable Charley received
honorable mention.
In perhaps the most important of all the All-Ameri-can
teams picked every year, Reynolds received his fourth
first team berth out of six major A-A selections.
The football players themselves vote for this All
American team and therefore they consider it the highest
honor if they make this one team. No player was al
lowed to vote unless he opposed a rival on the field. The
players' ballots required they name the best 11 men
they had faced during the season, one for each position.
Thus each player had 11 votes in the poll.
Reynolds is the only sophomore on the team. He
also is the youngest player on the first team, at 19,
and the lightest, at 175 pounds.
Arch Ward, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune,
the sponsor of the balloting, wrote "The brilliant Rey
nolds, who led the nation in scoring with 157 points,
collected 128 out of a possible 147 votes from the players
he opposed this season."
The Midwest led with eight men out of the 22 named,
five on the offense and three on the defense. The South
and the Pacific Coast came in second with five men
each. The South got two men on the offense and three
on defense while the Coast earned one offensively and
four defensively.
Trailing in the selections were the Southwest and
the East. Both grabbed two berths, the East got one on
each lineup while the Southwest got both of theirs on
the offense.
Four teams got two representatives on the first
two lineups. Oklahoma got one on both as did Wash
ington. Michigan and Tennessee each got two defensive
men named.
Don Heinrich, Washington back, received the highest
percentage of votes, getting 95.7 percent.
Senior on the four elevens (first two teams, offen
sively and defensively) will received invitations from the
Chicago Tribune to join the College All-Star squad which
will meet the professional champions next jsummer.
Three Huskers Accept Bids to
Post-Season Football Contests
Three 1950 Cornhusker grid
ders will see further action on the
football fields during this season
with the announcement that Don
Strasheim has accepted the bid to
play in the North-South contest
in Montgomery, Ala.
Strasheim, along with Fran
Nagle and Charlie Toogood who
will see action in the East-West
Shrine football game, make up
the Husker trio who have been
invited to participate in post-season
competition.
AH three are seniors, the first
requirement for eligibility in
either game, and all three took
their share of honors during the
great Nebraska season, just fin
ished. Mentioned
Nagle was mentioned on sev
eral All-Conference teams and
was named to the first team of
All-U Table Tennis Title to
Jack Cohen-Six Straight
Jack Cohen is the 1950-51 All-University Table
Tennis champion. Cohen took top honors in the tourna
ment last Saturday in the round-robin finals composed
of seven men to win the title and ping pong trophy.
Cohen finished the final play with six victories and
no defeats. In winning the six matches, best two out of
three, Cohen was extended to three games by only two
men.
His closest brush with defeat
came in his game with Morte
Solhjoo when he won the third
and deciding game by a 21-19
count. Morte's brother, Ray, was
the only other finalist capable of
forcing the champion into the
third game. Oddly, enough, how
ever, the Solhjoo brothers fin
ished no better than in a tie for
fourth and fifth places.
Tully, Pratt Tie
Medal players in the tourney
were Allen Tully and Bill Pratt
who posted identical records of
four wins and two losses during
the regulation play. Tully tasted
defeat at the hands of Cohen and
Pratt while Pratt fell before
Cohen and Ray Soffljoo.
Tully reversed the decision on
Pratt in the playoff for second
place, however, and was awarded
the runner-up spot, Pratt getting
the third place position. Both
Cohen and Tully are from Zeta
Beta Tau while Pratt represented
Presby House in the tourney.
Solhjoo Busy
Placing behind Pratt in a tie
came the Solhjoo brothers from
Persia who were probably the
busiest pair during the afternoon.
Not only did the two compete in
the table tennis tournament, but
also participated on the Cosmo
politan Club's volleyball team in
the All-University finals and all
in one afternoon.
Behind the Solhjoo's and plac
ing as the number six and num
ber seven men in the University
were Jeff Delton and Gene Yost.
These two men, although, out
matched "by the other five in the
finals, were good enough to last
out the major part of the tourney
and fall into the top seven men
out of 160 entered.

JACK COHEN
Allen Cries for
Basket-Raising,
2-Minute Rule
Kansas basketball coach Phog
Allen not only hoped in win a
couple of basketball games as
he herded his team for a three
game eastern swing, but also
was poised for a debunking cam
paign over the matter of the 12
foot basket.
The latter item, which the Mt.
Oread Maestro has long cham
pioned, has accumulated strange
reverse English of late. There is
widespread belief, most of which
emaniites from the eastern press,
that Allen no longer favors rais
ing the baskets from their pres
ent level of 10 feet since his ac
quisition of Clyde Lovellette, the
6-foot 9-inch scoring marvel.
"How the idea originated that
I'm rot for the 12-foot post now
that we have Lovellette and
Born (B. ,H. Born, 6-9 freshman
center from Medicine Lodge,
Kan.) is a mystery to me," the
doctor points out, with some
feeling.
Still Wants It
"Of course, I ttill want a 12
foot basket. There is nothing
the matter with the big man in
the game today. The fault lies
with the low, antiquated 10-foot
goal. I said for publication no
less than six times last year
(Lovellette's first as a varsity
regular) that I am still for a
12-foot basket. Apparently some
of the writers do ot read their
contemporaries."
The Doctor, who guided - his
club east with two wins in its
first two games, 51-35 over
Creighton, and 56-38 over Utah
State, also took time out to level
fire at the elimination of the
two-minute rule which he au
thored last season.
This provided that any foul
committed in the last two min
utes was to be treated as a tech
nical, with the offended team
taking the ball out of bounds
whether the toss was made or
missed. This standard was booted
because of charges that it turned
a 40 minute game into one of 38
minutes. Now officials, under
rule 10, section 7, are instructed
to call two-shot fouls if "the
foul is committed for the purpose
of profitting by it or when the
offending player is in an un
favorable position with little
chance to reach the ball and he

"Defeated Pratt in playoff of

does not make reasonable effort
to avoid contact."
"We have exactly the same
situation as we had with the
two-minute rule," Allen con
tends, "except that now you have
less profbetion from fouling
since you cannot take the ball
out of bounds if you make the
free throw. They have only
changed the rhetoric of the rule."
"If the home team is behind
late in the game you are going
to see mayhem. The rule makers
simply are asking the officials
to pull the chestnuts out of the
fire for them now."
That is one reason the doctor
has instigated his free-throw
waiving policy on all one-shot
fouls from the outset of the
game. In their opening victories,
the Jayhawks canned 11 chari
ties while trying only 21. They
have toed the gratis line only
When Lovellette, their principal
scorer, is riding the bench or
after two-shot fouls, taking the
second out oi bounds.

Toogood, also, was on the first
team of the Omaha paper's selec

He was one of six to receive Hon

Only Pennant
Eludes Bosox;
Build i or '50
Boston's Red Sox, baseball's
hittingest team despite its dearth
of pennants, ran off with every
thing in sight in American
League batting prized for 1950.
Led by Billy Goodman, who
captured the league batting
crown with a mark of .354, the
Bosox won virtually all plate
honors, but they came away
from the table pennant-hungry
again.
The Red Sox were on top in
team batting, runs-batted-in,
runs scored, total bases, stolen
bases and triples.
Official statistics gave Good
man the A. L. crown over last
year's champion George Kell of
the Detroit Tigers. Kell ended up
with a .340.
150 Hits for Goodman
Goodman, who played every
where in the field during the
season, appeared in 110 games.
He wound up with a total of 150
hits in 424 trips to the plate. He
scored 91 runs, belted 25 doubles,
three triples and four homers.
Walt Dropo and Vern Stephens
shared runs batted in laurels,
each finishing with 144. Dropo
was also the total base king with
326.
The Bosox had a team average
of .302, 20 points ahead of the
World Champion Yankees and
Detroit Tigers, who finished
second.

Hockey May
Be Installed
As l-M Sport
Attention all ice-hockey en
thusiasts! You may get a chanc
to get into competition within
the next couple of weeks if
enough men show interest in th
sport.
A new intramural sport, ice
hockey, may begin functioning in
a week or two. A number of men
have .expressed their desire of
entering into the sport as part of
the intramural program and I-M
director C. E. Miller is willing to
consider the idea if enough teams
should also want to begin the ice
sport.
A meeting has been set for this
Wednesday evening at 7:80 p.m.
in the music room of the Union
for the purpose of finding out
how the idea strikes the rest of
those competing in intramurals.
Send a Representative
All organizations are asked to
send a representative to the meet
ing and all independent men or
groups of men who are interested
in hockey are especially asked to
attend.
The league, if functioning,
would probably have the majority
of the games on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, but that also will b
discussed at the proposed meet
ing. Mr. Miller said that if enough
men were willing to participate
whole-heartedly in the sport that
the presentation of a " trophy
would not be out of the question.
If anyone has any questions
concerning the situation and
would like to find out befor
Wednesday, they can contact Rol
land Styskal at 2-4935. Remem
ber the date Wednesday at 7:30
p.m.
similar to these the past three
years. General Manager Joe
