Thursday, December 14, 1950
The Nebraska Cornhuskers
cage outfit broke their three
game West Coast losing streak
Tuesday night as they soundly
thrashed Santa Clara, 53-38 in
the San Francisco Cow Palace.
Coach Harry Good used his
entire traveling squad of 12 men
in the rout that saw the Huskers
never seriously threatened.
The win over the western out
fit enabled the Hiskers to give
the Big Seven a helping hand in
the beatings they are dishing out
to non-conference foes. While
Nebraska was winning, Kansas
and Kansas State were also cop
ping their contests to give the
conference a clean sweep for
Tuesday.
Paul Kipper, starting at one
of the forward "slots for Coach
Good's Huskers, dunked a field
goal the first of three for him
after two minutes had elapsed in
the game to put Nebraska ahead
lor good.
Fast Break Good
The Cornhusker flopr men
Used the fast break to perfection
as they ran the Broncos ragged.
Jim Buchanan, on the receiving
end of most Bob Pierce's throws
down-court, led the Huskers in
scoring. Buchanan tallied a total
of 19 during the evening.
Pierce continualy cleared the
backboards and threw down
court to Buchanan who scored
on setups.
The Broncos fought throughout
to overcome a marked disadvan
tage in height, but Pierce had
control all during the game.
The Huskers gave a much im
proved showing that they dis
played in their losses to Washing
ton and California and the win
gives them a record of 2-4 to
date.
Center Pierce was second in
the Husker scoring with nine
points and Kipper was third with
eight.
Only 27 fouls were called in
the contest, 12 on the Huskers,
which is a far-cry from some of
the whistle-tooters antics in the
games these days.
Rough Game
In New York City the Kansas
Jayhawks were having a much
rougher time of it. Giant Clyde
Lovelette tipped in a goal with
15 seconds left to give the Jays
a wild 52-51 victory over St.
John's of Brooklyn.
The winning goal came after
St. John's had gone ahead for the
first time in the second half at
51-50 with 39 seconds remaining.
Frank Giancontieri, one of the
many replacements in the St.
John's two-platoon system, scored
the goal.
After Giancontieri scored, Kan
sas waived a free throw and
calmy went about after the two
sas held an apparently comfort
points and victory.
Ur to the hectic minutes, Kan-
As held an apparently comfort
able lead but the St. John's all
court press drove the Jays into
costly -mistakes.
St. John's used a zone defense
to stop Lovelette who has been
averaging 25-points plus per
game. In all, the 6-9 ace scored
13 points.
Waiving Free Throws
Kansas Coach Phog Allen con
tinued his innovation of waiving
free throws to keep possession of
the ball. This strategy seemed to
pay off as the Jays controlled
the play most of the time. Tey
l-M Wrestling Starts Action;
Phi Gams, Betas, Sigs Lead
Leading thus far in the first
round of Intermur8l wrestling,
and looming as the team to beat,
are last years wrestling champs,

and Ed Gross in the 157 lb. wt.
class, Emerson "Milehigh" Scott
in the 177 lb. wt. class, and big
"Punjab" Paul Grimm in the
heavies.
Close behind the Fijimen, are
the high flying Betas, with three
first round qualifiers. Husker
gridsters, Tom Harper and Larry
Carney both made fine showings
as they won handily in the 177
lb. class, while Beta Tom Weeks
won a very close match from
Jack Paap.
Here are the rest of the re
sults as of last night: In the only

the second period. x
Delt Barney Sprague took a
close decision from Harlan
Weiderspan. Time 4:30.
Fys Ed Gross took over Beta
Bob Foote in a hard fought con
test, and pinned him in 5:35 of

and pinned him in 3": 10 with a
neat reversal and head lock.
The only 167 lb. battle of the
evening saw Sig Chi Benny
Leonard beat a hard fighting
Fiji Jack Gwynn in a very heated
match. Time 4:40.
In the light heavyweight di

Kansas State, meanwhile, won
their fourth straight cage game
as they shellacked the Wichita

Wildcats had control of the game
all the way and were never
threatened except at the beginn
ing of a slow first period.
Wichita got the early lead in a
ruggedly played game with about
four minutes gone as John Frie

Head tied it up for Kansas State
on a pair of fielders and then
Earnie Barrett hit from side
court to put the Wildcats in front

Denom Play Opens as LSA,
Newman Club,
Denominational and fraternity
"B" basketball games highlighted
the return to cage action Tues
day night as nine more teams
emerged victorious in their initial
contest and a like number
tumbled to defeat.
Defending Interdenominational
champion, Newman Club, got off
to a flying rtart in the defense
of its title as the Catholics
crushed the Baptist Student
House by a 43-13 score. It was
strictly "no contest" all the way
as the Newman men rolled to
a 12-0 first quarter lead and at
halftime still holding the Bap
tists scoreless, the score being
14-0.
The Baptists broke into the
scoring in the second half, but
by now the Newman Club was
really rolling and there was no
hope left for the losers.
Kroenke Tops
For the victors, it was the
presence of height. Bob Kroenke
led the scoring for Newman Club
with 14 points. Bill Griffin and
Jack Walentine each added nine
to the winning total. Ray John
son was tops for the Baptist
House, getting eight points.
The Lutheran Student Associa
tion, pre-season challengers to
the Catholic hold on the crown,
found a rough opponent in the
University YMCA and had to
fight all th: way to win, 41-30.
The Lutherans led practically
all the way, but the margin was
never insurmountable at any
point in the game.
Stauffcr High Man
Lee Stauffer was the top
scorer in the contest with a
night's effort of 15 markers.
Team-mate Glen Johnson was
right behind Stauffer, getting 13
counters. For the Y it was Simp
son and Lubeck, both notching
nine.
In the other Denom clash, a
strong InterVarsity outfit
crushed the Methodist Student
House by a 33-12 tally.
The I-V men- were in complete
command all the way and prac
tically put the game on ice in
the first half when they were
leading 19-5.
The Methodists found the go
ing just as rough in the second
half as InterVarsity coasted to
the win.
Lucht Leads
Lucht poured 18 points through
the hoops for InterVarsity to
lead the scoring. Lucht's total
is currently the individual high
in any game in this infant sea
son. The previous high was 17
by Vera McKenzie of Delta Chi,
Dec. 7, when Delta Chi blasted
Acacia, 50-18.
Rundle topped the Methodist
scoring with five points.
In the only Independent clash
of the day, Phi Delta Phi flat
tended the Dental College Fresh
men, 44-24. This game, too, was
close only at the beginning as
the PDP's were hot right at the
beginning whistle.
The Phi Delta Phi's poured 29
points through the nets in the
first half, more than the losers
got the whole game.
Ten points was taken down by
the game's top score who was
McArthur of the winners. Kel
ley led the Dental Frosh with
six.
Sig- Ep Delt Thriller
In fraternity "B" competition,
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta
Tau Delta put on a thriiler-diller
all the way through. The Sig
Ep Bees came from behind to
win this one, 22-21.
The Delts took control of the
game at the start and in a slow
moving affair, held a 14-10 half
time margin. The Sig Eps fought
back in the second half in the
form of a strong defense which
allowed the Delts but seven
points.
With this defense, 12 points
are what the Sig Eps needed to
win and 12 points are exactly
what they got.
Ray Mladovich was the game's
top scorer with 12 points for the
losing Delts. Russel led the Sig
Eps with seven counters.
Beta Bees Win
In another game that stayed
close throughout the play, Beta
Theta Pi "B" defeated Phi Kap
pa Psi "B" by a 26-20 score. It
was team play all the way for
these two outfits as fourteen
men broke into the scoring
column.
High point men for both teams
netted six. Dave Noble for the
Phi Psi's and Reynolds for the
Betas grabbed this honor.

It was the Aggies all the way
as the Palacers never got into
the game. Another Reynolds

with 14 points. Bob Swanson

Fijis Victorious

Bolh have been announced as
memoers of the West team in the

in which they will participate,
Weeks and Doran will also be
guesits of the Shrine at the an
nual' Rose Bowl game in Pasa
dena, Jan. 1. They will fly to
Honolulu the following day.
'Happy' Ousted
But Not Out as
Tension Mounts
Baseball commissioner Happy
Chandler was ousted but not out
Chandler, himself, made clear to
day. Chandler refused to resign
his position before his contract
expires, that happens in May of
1952. Chandler announced that
he would serve to the"last sec
ond."' The 16 major league club own
ers voted unanimously to "select
and elect" a new baseball czar to
replace Chandler as soon as prac
ticable There is considerable doubt
whether he will finish his term.
Both leagues announced no at
tempt, was made to buy up the
contrr-ct, however.
. Committees Names
The owners who took this dras
tic action late Tuesday said com
mittees will be named soon to
consider candidates for the job.
No names were mentioned offi
cially, but leading possibilities
were Ford Frick, National league
president; George Trautman,
head of the minors and Warren
Giles, president of the Cincinnati
Reds.
The action followed by 20 hours
the failure of the club owners to
vote Chandler a new contract.
Three ballots were taken and
Chandler failed to win the neces
sary 12 votes on any of them.
When Chandler heard what the
club owners had done, he re
signed, then changed his mind.
Big league baseball sources said
Chandler's ouster came because
of his demand on a new contract.
However, there has been a cam
paign brewing against him for
some time.
Will Not Leave
Chandler vowed in a statement
that he would rot step down. He
insisted he would serve out his
term until the "last second."
It is feared that if Chandler
holds fast to his threat, he may
cause trouble for all. The com
missioner has sole authority to
remove anyone from the game of
baseball and if Chandler saw no
other way. he could remove those
who are evidently against him
and win in another ballot.
This could ruin the entire na
tional past-time, but it is legal
under present baseball rules.
Chandler, former governor and
TJ. S. senator from Kentucky,
emerged from the closed session
sometime before the owners an
nouncement. His only statement
then was: "I have nothing to
say."
Makes Plea
He appeared before the own
ers himself to make a plea fof
his job. Chandler succeeded the
late Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Landis in 1945.

ETClliUS
Sigma Chi, Field House, and
Presby House continued to pad
their lead in the number of quali
fiers in the intramural indoor
track and field meet Tuesday as
the preliminaries of the high
jump and the 800-yard run were
run off.
The Sigs qualified four men in
the two events, Presby qualified
two and the Field House, two.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha
Tau Omega each qualified two in
the fraternity division. .
Only two divisions qualified
men in the high jump, no one
from the Denominational class
entering. Only Tom Carodine,
jumping for the Field House,
qualified in the Independent
class. Carodine leaped 5-9 during
the afternoon which was the top
mark posted all day.
Irving Thode of Phi Delta
Theta and Glenn Beerline of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon led the way
in the fraternity division, also
leaping to a height of 5-9.
Five Over 5-7
Five men cleared 5-7 to qualify.
They were Don Bedker of Phi
Gamma Delta, Neal Prince and

TV Threatens ,
Day Ball Games
The Ohio Wesleyan Transcript
reports that "more and more
small colleges in this area may
be forced to the night sport, for
even the most loyal backers of
small college football, the stu
dents, prefer the video 'game of
the day' to cheering for their
alma maters."
Supporting their contention,
the paper pointed out that thou
sands crowded around TV sets
to watch Ohio State play Michi
gan in 1949, while only 74 Toot
ers turned out to see Ohio Wes
leyan and Otterbein play on the
same day.

this event has been staged.
If the two events were to be

sion. The Sig Chi's point total
would now stand at 54 2330.
Alpha Tau Omega would climb
into second place, by-passing
Sigma Phi Epsilon. The Taus
would have a total of 49 710 as
compared to 46 130 for the Sig

counters, but would now be
pressed by Sigma Alpha Epsilon
who would sport a count of
21 130. Defending champion,
Phi Delta Theta would finally
breay into the scoring colmn with
six points. That would be good
enough for seventh place in the
current running.
Kappa Sigma would also break
into the scoring with 115 points.
In the Independent class. Field
House would now have 84 points
as compared to 41 for the inde
pendent competitors.
Presby House would increase
their point total to 101 points and
the Lutherans would continue in
second place, upping their total to
37 points.

Hockey May
Start Soon
Intramural Hockey may be
well on its way becoming an I-M
activity if Wednesday night's
meeting is any indication.
The meeting, established to see
how many men and organizations
are interested in the sport, was
termed a success by all those
attending.
In all, 11 organizations nd
several independent men voiced
their desire to participate in In
tramural hockey.
Discussed during the meeting
was the possibility of limiting
the equipment for each player on
the ice with the exception of the
goalie who could wear as much
equipment as he saw fit. It was
thought that this way the cost
of equipping the players would
be vastly reduced and that if all
the players were equipped the
same, there would be less rough
play on the part of individuals.
Russell Sporting Goods com
pany has stated that they will
allow up to a 30 per cent discount
on all equipment purchased there
if the purchaser intends to par
ticipate in intramural hockey.
It was also stated that the city
of Lincoln has stated that any
city ice would be made available
at any time for the hockey games.
During the meeting it was
moved and seconded that a
hockey board be set up to fur
ther explore the possibilities.
Each organization, whether fra
ternity or non-fraternity, that
intends to participate in competi
tion will have two members rep
resenting them on the board.
Chairman of the board was
elected by those in attendance at
the Wednesday night meeting.
Tom Beal of Omaha and repre
senting Delta Tau Delta fratern
ity was elected the chairman.
Beal has had contact with or
ganized and amateur hockey in
Omaha and was decided to be the
logical choice.
The board will report to C. E.
Miller, director of Intramural
Sports, immediately upon arriv
ing on all conclusions. With a
definite list of teams and men
that will participate
There will be a meeting: for
all interested in playing in
tramural ice-hockey this Sun
day at 7 p.m. in the Union.
Each organization is asked to
send two representatives and
all men who wish to compete
independently are urged to
attend.
