The 1951 Big Seven basketball
season opens for Nebraska's
cagers this Saturday when Coach
Harry Good takes his men to
Lawrence, Kansas to meet Phog
Allen's powerful Jayhawkers.
It will mark the second meet
ing of the two outfits this year,
the Kansans owning a decisive
victory in the battle for third and
fourth places in the pre-season
tournament in Kansas City. The
Jays are heavily favored to re
peat their tourney performance
at the expense of the Corn-huskers.
It will again be giant Clyde
Lovellette' for the Jayhawks
against the Huskers' Bob Pierce
and possibly Jimmy Buchanan.
Lovellette, who owns a score of
conference scoring records, is
practically all Kansas has to offer
but in games played to date he
has been more than enough to
give Allen's men a victory.
Good Team
While the burden of the scor
ing rests on Lovellette's shoul
ders, the remainder of the Jays
are no sloutches. Though not
comparable to towering Clyde,
they can give any team plenty of
trouble.
The Huskers will have to keep
tabs on such men as Bill Lien
hard, Bill Hougland, Jerry
Waugh, Dean Wells, Sonny Enns,
Buddy Bull and gridder Charley
Hoag.
All of these with the exception
of Hoag are experienced cagers I
Oourtefy of The Lincoln Journal.
JOE GOOD . . . will probably
see action against Kansas Sat
urday as a starting guard on
Goach Good's Cornhuskers. Joe
has been in competition in all
of the Husker games to date.
for Phog Allen and Hoag has
tremendous ability on the maples
as well as on the gridiron.
Lienhard and Bull at the for
wards are all-around performers.
"Fingers" Lienhard is a great
one-hand set shooter from 25
feet in and plays well on the
backboard. Bull owns the best

on his 1951 varsity indoor and
outdoor track squads will come
from these intramural competi
tors. Let's see what gaping holes
in his depleted squad Coach
Weir must fill with intramural
performers.
At least one and maybe two
60 yard dash men must come
from the intramurals. This will
probably include Lee Alexander
and one of the other five com
petitors in this event.
The 440 yard dash entry will
contain the names of at least
two intramural trackstcrs. Prom
inent in the race for this honor
are Hobe Jones, Lee Alexander,
Bob Barchus, and Wayne Whit
aker. Hobe Jones will very likely
be one of the top men in the
880 yard dash this year in the
Big Seven, he having recorded
several times around 1:57 and
1:58 la.ct year as a Freshman.
Although Coach Weir is looking
for another miler to support the
efforts of Varsity runners Lee
Moore and Ken Jacobs, it ap
pears that the intramural meet
this year has failed to turn up
such a man unless Jones de
velops into a distance man.
Alexander and Jones should
give a big boost to the Husker
mile relay team which could
surprise this year. Although Ok
lahoma, Kansas, and Missouri
are reputed to again have out
standing relay teams, Nebraska
will be hard to beat.
High Jumpers Needed
At least one and maybe two
high jumpers will be called upon
to support letterman Dick Meis-
sner in the jumping event. Irv
Thode and Bob Holm have been
showing up well in early work
outs. Don Coupons should move in
with Varsity pole-vaulters Don
Cooper and Leonard Kehl to
give the Huskers one of the most
potent combinations in the Big
Seven track history.
Nebraska's shot putters will
need a big boost from the intra- j
mural ranks this year as the j
top three throwers for the Hus- j
keis last year have either grad- j
uated or used up their eligibility, j
Paul Grimm could possibly de
velop into a point-getter in this !
event. !
Broad Jumpers Star
The broad jump will be the j
event in which the greatest aid
will come as far as intramurals
are concerned with two men
very definitely moving up to
the Varsity squad. These arc I
Glenn Beerline and Irv Thode. 1
Bcerline leaped 22 feet ll'z
inches in stocking feet U set a
new intramural record in the ;
Fraternity division. Thode j
jumped 21 leet J I inches, which
is also pretty fair.
Hurdlers who could possibly
make the grade with the Varsity
include Dan Tolman, Hobe Jones,
Don Coupens, and Don Bedker.
The intramural track finals
will continue through Thursday,
Jan. 11 when an evening perfor
mance will climax this year's
meet. Events included in the
Thursday night finale are the
4-lap relay, pole vault, high
jump, 880 yard run, running
broad jump, and the mile relay.
This program may well be just
as exciting as the Big Seven
dual meets which also begin the
latter part of this month.
The 1950-51 Intramural Track
and Field Meet, one of the most
slam-bang affairs to hit the Uni
versity of Nebraska campus in
, several years, will continue on
its merry way again starting
Monday, Jan. 8 when finals are
held in two of the fourteen
events that comprise this year's
program.
The festivities will get under
way at 5:15 p.m. for the six re
maining 50 yard dash men in
the Fraternity division. This
should be one of the feature
races on the four-day program
because three men have tied the
existing record in this event held
by Al Hruby of Phi Delta Theta.
Hruby's record of 5.6 seconds
was set last year.
Runners who tied this mark
in the semifinals include Lee
Alexander of Sigma Phi Epsilon,
Wayne Whitaker of Sigma Phi
Epsilon, and Dan Tolman of
Sigma Chi. Others qualifying for
the finals are Bob Barchus, Sig
ma Chi; Jack James, Phi Gamma
Delta: and Don Coupens, Alpha
Tau Omega.
Coffman Defends
In the Independent division it
looks like another three-man
duel between Rex Coffman, Ag
Men; Blake Cathro, Field House;
and Chester Scott, Field House.
Coffman is the present record
holder in this event with a mark
cf 5.8 seconds.
Dick Stansbury, Presby House,
tied the existing Interdenomina
tional record of 5.8 seconds, held
by Glenn Beerline, in the pre
lims and will be aiming for a
new record in the Monday finals.
His closest competition is ex
pected from Weed and Sampson,
both of Presby House.
The second event on the first
day's card will be the one-lap
run which will start at 5:25 p.m.
Alexander is Favorite
In the Fraternity division it
appears that Lee Alexander of
Sigma Phi Epsilon will be the
man to beat. Alexander set a
new record in this event in the
prelims and promises to be even
tougher in the finals. Alexan
der's mark of 27.4 seconds is a
full second under the old record
of 28.4, also set by Alexander in
1948.
Two runners who will bear
watching in this event are Wayne
Whitaker of Sigma Phi Epsilon
and Hobe Jones of Alpha Tau
Omega. Whitaker's qualifying
time was 28.5 while Jones's time
registered 28.7. Other Fraternity
qualifiers include Jack Scovillc,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Dick Hun
gerford, Cornhusker Co-op; and
Jim Perry, Alpha Tau Omega.
The race for honors in the
Interdenominational class will be
between Sampson of Presby
House and Jim German, Ag
YMCA, although Lindquist of
Lutheran Stu. Assoc. and Rutz
of Inter-Varsity could surprise,
Sampson has the best qualify
ing time of 30.6 second.. The
record for this event is 29.9 sec
onds, held by Robert Shuler of
Presby House, set in 1049.
Photo-Finish Likely
A photo-finish is expected in
the Independent division of the
one-lap run as three men are
closely bunched in the compari
sons. These runners are Blake
Cathro, Field House; Dale
Schnackel, Field House; and
Chester Scott, Field House.
This year': meet, though not
very-closely followed by most
students, is being studied in
tently by Varsity track coach
&u weir, lor most of the men
two-handed shot on the Kansas
squad.
Waugh at a guard post is an
old fixture on the Jay team. He
is primarily a defensive man and
is one of the conference's best de
fenders. He is the only senior on
the starting five and is the team
captain.
Hougland. Wells, and Enns
also will see a lot of action at
guard against the Huskers Sat
urday night. Hougland is an ex
cellent floor man and continually
sets up the play for his mates.
Against such a fine array of
basketeers. Coach Good will send
an injury riddled band of
Hjuskers.
Buchanan Possibly Out
Biggest possible loss is guard
Jim Buchanan. Buchanan injured
his foot against the same Jay
hawks in the tourney last week
and has had to carry it in a cast
for several days. Jimmy, one of
two regulars returning to Coach
Good, missed the South Dakota
game last Wednesday night and it
is feared that he may sit out the
fray at Lawrence.
His loss could deal a mortal
blow to the fading Cornhusker
hopes. His all-around play earned
him a berth on the All-Tourney
team at Kansas City and he is
the sparkplug of the Husker five.
Another loss felt by the Ne
braskans is the knee injury of
letterman Norman Wilnes. Norm
is expected to be out of compe
tition for several contests.
Pierce Is Stalwart
The injuries leaves the Scarlet
with only one letterman avail
able in the person of center Bob
Pierce. This is a bright glow in
an otherwise dim outlook for
Saturday's clash. Pierce has been
improving with each game and
last Wednesday he established a
new Nebraska scoring record,
getting 29 points against the
Coyotes.
Coach Good managed to get a
working combination together in
the second half of the South Da
kota fray consisting of Bcrnie
Akromis and Jim Snyder at the
forwards. Pierce at center, and
Joe Good and Bob Mercier at the
guards.
Mercier gave his best perform
ance of the year with his ball
handling while Akromis came
into his own in the second half.
This will probably be the same
line-up that will start for Ne
braska Saturday and possibly in
their first home conference en
counter Monday against Iowa
State.

Gardner Develops Balanced
Cage Team at Kansas State
Coach Jack Gardner has de
veloped his best balanced team at
Kansas State since taking over
the reins in 1939. His surprising
Wildcats, new Big Seven tourna
ment champions, have compiled
a 9 won, 2 lost record and those
nine wins all have been team
victories.
All of the starting five have
earned scoring honors as well as
two topnotch replacements in the
successful preconference slate.
And only three K-Staters, Ernie
Barrett, Jim Iverson, and Dick
Knostman, have surpassed the
100 mark with Barrett leading
the way with 113.

Coast Might
Drop Out of
Rose Bowl
Officials of the Pacific Coast
conference electrified the world
of college football Thursday by
disclosing that it is seriously
considering discontinuing its
participation in the Rose Bowl.
Except for two years during the
World War I. the Pacific Coast
champion has always been the
host team.
The PCC officials announced
their intentions and stated their
reasons were because college
football was getting too big for
its trousers. The real reason,
however, seemed to be the fail
ure of the Coast in the past few
years to field a tetam capable
of defeating the guest tpam in
the Rose Bowl.
The first the Tournament of
Roses football committee knew
of the turn of events came when
Wildcats Seek
Initial Win
At Missouri
Kansas State cagers will take
to the road this weekend for
their opening game of the Big! John Gibson 26 12
ward, has earned scoring laurels
in three games to date. Against
Utah State, the contact-lens-wearing
eager notched 17; he hit
15 in the Wichita tilt; and was
tops against Indiana with 12.
Leading Scorer
Although Big Dick has yet to
start a game, he was the lead
ing Purple scorer going into the
Big Seven tounament and still
is the top rebounder with 85
grabs from the board.
Barrett has been the top man
twice. He notched 12 against
Purdue and was sensational
against Nebraska in the tourna
ment hitting 21. The Welling
ton senior couldn't miss against
the Huskers as he connected for
10 of 13 from the field and hit
nine out of nine from the field
the second half.
The "Blackjack" shared point
honors with Lew Hitch in first
round tourney battle with Okla
homa. Each had 14.
Stone Hits Gophers
Jack Stone, playing the finest
game of his career as K-State
downed Minnesota 70-62 in the
tournament finals, collected his
second scoring title of the year
with 20 points and gave assists
on five other buckets. The Los
Angeles senior's 14 points also
were high against Wisconsin.
Other high point men have
been Jim Iverson with 13 in the
season opener against Long Is
land; Ed Head, who potted 16 in
the second game with Ohio
State; and John Gibson who led
the way against Springfield Col
lege with 16.
Four of the Gardnermen are
hitting 40 percent, or better from
the field.
Barrett, who has hit 45 per
cent, boosted his average six
percent during the three tourna
ment games. Gibson is second in
accuracy with 44 percent and
Bob Rousey and Dick Peck each
are credited with 40 percent.
Top ten-K-State scorers:

Ernie Barrett 47 17 113
Jim Iverson 40 27 107

Grid Hi-Lights
Highlights of the Nebraska
football season just finished will
be the theme of the sound film
"Cornhusker Football Hi-lights
of 1950" which will be shown by
the N-Club Wednesday, Jan. 10
in the Coliseum.
The hour film will be only a
part of the show given by the
N-Club that night beginning at
7:30 p.m. So far, however, all
that is known about what will
happen after the showing of the
football picture is that the N
Club will furnish "other enter
tainment." This is the first showing of this
film in this part of the state. The
Husker group is sponsoring this
evening of entertainment for the
admission of fifty cents.
Part of the proceeds will go
for paying for the services of
former Husker Dick Hutton who
died recently. The remainder of
the proceeds will be used to set
up a possible athletic scholar
ship. Tickets are on sale by all N
Club members and in booths in
the Ag and City Unions and at
Lawlor's.

win over Colorado in their last
round match.
The K-Staters are on the spot
as a result of copping the con
ference tourney bunting. They
now are tabbed as the club most
likely to succeed in the coming
loop race and Coach Jack Gard
ner is fretting.
"This tournament charnniori-

'Cat head man moans. "A team
can be up three days and win a
tournament, but that doesn't
mean they can stay on top dur

To substantiate his point,
Gardner points to Missouri, last
years tournament winner. The
Columbia crew finished the loop
race sixth with four wins and
eight losses. Two of the wins
were over K-Statc.
Kansas State's chances in the
early stages of the conference
