before the Big Seven Tournament
In Kansas City during the holi

econd home appearance of the

their third win of the season
against the teachers. The Scar

losses.
Victims of the Cornhusker out
fit in this young season are the
Missouri State Teachers and
Santa Clara. The Huskers
dropped Santa Clara on their
western road trip while routing
the Missourians here in their
Initial home contest.
Husker Conquerors
Holding victories over Nebras

road trip. The University of
Washington slapped the Huskers
twice on this same tour.

the NU lack of height and re

Conference Tourney Opens
Dec. 27; NU Faces Tigers
The Big Seven Conference,
after playing havoc with top
ranking teams throughout the
country until last week's rather
disastrous weekend, continues Its
outside engagements this week
with an eye toward the ap
proaching Big Seven Tournament
In Kansas City, Dec. 27-30.
The University of Minnesota
will be the guest school to com
plete the eight-club bracket.
On the basis of early per
formances, it looks like the tour
ney finals will pit Kansas of the
upper bracket against either Mis
souri or the winner of the Oklahoma-Kansas
State clash in the
lower bracket.
The Huskers, Cyclones, and
Buffaloes will probably be fight
ing it out for consolation honors
agsinst the loser of the Sooner
Wildcat battle.
Before the season started it
would have been easy to pick
the tournament finalists. That
would, of course, be Coach Phog
Allen's Kansas Jayhawks against
the Wildcats of Coach Jack
Gardner.

Pro Finals With
Bears Fall
C'tarterback Bob Waterfield,
playing perhaps the greatest
game of his life Sunday, tossed
three touchdown passes to End
Tom Fears and kicked a tre
mendous 43-yard field goal to
lead his Los Angeles Rams to a
24-14 triumph over the Chicago
Bears in their National Football
league divisional playoff.
The victory gave the Rams
their second National conference
title in a row and avenged a pair
of defeats pinned on them by the
Bears earlier in the season.
A near free-for-all battle be
tween both teams halted the
game in the closing seconds. It
was several minutes before play
was resumed and the field
cleared. It took awhile for the
officials to make the squads step
back to their respective side
lines. 83,501 Watch
'A crowd of 83,501 watched the
thriller in 92 degree heat. The
victory lifted the Rams into the
playoff for the league champion
ship with the Cleveland Browns
next Sunday.
Waterfield, the old master who
led the Rams to their only world
title five years ago when 'the
club was in Cleveland, put his
team ahead in the closing min
utes of the opening quarter with
his sensational 43 yard field goal.
Chicago, which put up a game
fight all the way, went ahead in
the second quarter on Al Carppa
na's 22 yard touchdown gallop.
Waterfield, who kicked all his
team's extra points, then hit
Fears with a pay-off pitch that
consumed 68 yards. Before the
half ended the combination
clicked again for a 27 yard scor
ing play and the Rams- were
never headed after that.
Snyder and Joe Good to the for
wards. Snyder is the second
tallest man on the squad at 6-4
and will be able to help Pierce.
Good is currently the third
scorer for the Huskers with 32
points.
Jim Buchanan, a veteran and
dependable floor leader for the
Scarlet, will team with maybe
Bob Merrier at the guard slots.
Mercier is speedy and a good
long-shot artist that will come in
handy at a guard position.
Not Discouraged
Coach Good was not discour
aged by the showing the Huskers
have made thus far. He said
that he figured things would be
much worse this year.
About the western tour he said,
"We displayed our lack of ex
perience. We could have won the
first game with Washington and
also the game with California,
but we gave the ball away too
much."
"We did, however, do better
than I expected."
The Big Seven conference
began this week's activities with
only one undefeated team in its
ranks Oklahoma. The other
previously all-victorious quintet,
the Kansas Jayhawks, was rudely
shoven into the depths last Sat
urday by Kentucky, 68-39.
Kansas State had its four
game winning streak snapped by
Indiana, 58-52. The Aggies will

However, happenings over the
past weekend, coupled with sur
prisingly - strong showings by
Missouri and Oklahoma, have
completely confused the experts.
Kansas's Jayhawkers headed
by Cloyde Lovellette will, nev
ertheless, have to be given the
favorites role because the pair
ings give them comparatively
weaker competition the first two
rounds. Minnesota should get by
Colorado alright, but will have
a tough time stopping the tall
Kansans.
The battle between undefeated
Oklahoma and twice-beaten
Kansas State will be the feature
attraction of the first round of
play down Kansas City way. Al
though a Wildcat victory would
be no surprise, the odds favor
the Sooners who have faced
some potent clubs in its all-victorious
swing throughout the
country.
The Missouri-Nebraska contest
could also be close if Husker
Coach Harry Good can upset the
ball-control game of Coach
Sparky Stallcup'g Tigers.

Playoff Wins
Giants Topple
The Cleveland Browns, aided
by Lou (Golden Toe) Groza,
Sunday won the American Divi
sion title of the National Football
League with an 8-3 play-off vic
tory over the New York Giants
in freezing temperatures at
Cleveland.
The Brown-Giants struggle,
played in 17-degree temperature
over frozen turf, was won by
Groza's hot toe.
He kicked two field goals, one
for 11 yards in the first period
and the last a 28-yard 3 pointer
with but 58 seconds to go in the
game that broke a 3-3 tie and
averted a sudden death period. .
Groza was aided by another
Brown stalwart, peerless Otto
Graham. It was Graham's pass
ing that set up the field goals.
Safety for Browns
With eight seconds to go, Jim
Martin caught Giant Quarter
back Chuck Conerly in the end
zone for a safety, but the issue
had already been settled.
The Browns defensive team
gained much of the credit for the
conquest thru a great goal line
stand midway in the final period.
The slippery going and an in
termittent snow coupled with
cold hands hampered the passing
attack of both teams, Graham
completing three of nine attempts
for 53 yards and the Giants con
necting on three of 15 by Conerly
and Travis Tidwell for a total of
48 yards.
The battl in Cleveland's
Municipal Stadium next Sunday
for the league title promises to
be a wide-open affair, with the
outcome probably hinging on how
well the Browns can stop the
great offense of the Rams. Los
Angeles, on the other hand, must
overcome the weather to be the

Bowling Finals
Delta Sigma Pi, Sigma Nu, and
Phi Gamma Delta moved into
the intramural bowling finals last
week with close wins over their
chief contenders in their respec
tive leagues.
The Delta Pi's turned back
Theta Chi, Sigma Nu dropped
Phi Delta Theta and the Fijis
throttled Delta Tau Delta.
To gain the finals, the two top
teams of each of the three
leagues had to play each other,
the winner gaining the finals.
The finals will be a round-robin
affair with all of the teams play
ing each other.
The Delta Pi's rolled to the
highest score in their victory
over Theta Chi. The final tally
read 2244 to 2212. The Theta
Chi's won the first line 746 to
704, but the Delta Pi's came roar
ing back.
Delts Topple
The Fijis toppled the Delts by
a score of 2156 to 2140. The Phi
Gama won the first two lines
and lost the third. Slg Nu won
2131 to 2085 over the Phi Delts.
Theta Chi came through with
the second highest team score
during the day, but their oppo
nent turned out to have the high
est score. Although the Chi's
topped both Sig Nu's and the
Fijis' score, they did not make
the finals.
The Delta Pi's came through
with the highest score in one
line, a 799. Holmquist of Phi
Gamma Delta had the highest
three-line score, a 526.
K. Moorehead of Phi Delta
Theta topped the keglers with
the top single line score. He post
ed a 208 in the third line.

Home-board winning skeins
aren't anything new for the Jay
hawks. Allen's clubs of the past
have unreeled no less than six
others of from 12 to 26 in a row.
However, this is the first time
since 1947, when Missouri nicked
them, 39-34, in the conference
opener, that the Mt. Orcadans
have put together a victory
string of any length. The Bengal
defeat stopped them at 17.
By whipping Springfield, this
Kansas could lift itself to ninth
among all-time Jayhawk con

Early successes in league play
would vault them considerably
higher.

1,502 yards in ten games.
The National Collegeit Athle

White thus became the second

sport to lug the ball more than
1,500 yards in a single season.
The record is held by Fred
Wendt of Texas Mines, who reg
istered 1,570 yards in 1948.
Reynolds carried the ball for
1,342 yards to place third on the
all-time list. His achievement
was remarkable because it was
made against major opposition
whereas Arizont State played
largely a minor schedule.
