Coach Harry Good's Nebraska
cagers continue their recent pol
icy of playing the best teams the
conference has to offer when they
tangle with Missouri's red-hot
Tigers at the Coliseum tonight.
The Huskers' last three games
have been against Kansas State
(1st), Kansas (2nd), and Okla
homa (tie for 3rd). The Tigers,
going into Saturday night's acuon,
were tied with the Sooners in
third piace. Missouri bumped off
the second place Jayhawks, 39
38, last Monday night.
In the only previous meeting
between the Huskers and Tigers,
Nebraska polished off Mizzou, 54
52. This game was played during
the pre-season Big Seven Tourna
ment, held in Kansas City last
December.
The Tigeis, with no individuals

conference, rely on a balanced
attack. Their top point-getter has

Heineman is known throughout

Top Defense.
The lack of scoring power does
not worry Missouri mentor, Wil
bur "Sparky" Stalcup too much.
Stalcup, schooled by defense
minded Oklahoma A&M coach,
Hank Iba, has turned out the
conference's top defensive club
for the past two seasons. Last
year the Tigers finished eighth
nationally in this department
Nebraska, on the other hand,
relies on two individuals for al
most their entire scoring punch.
Big Bob Pierce goes into the Mis
souri game with a 15 point per
game average. If Pierce can hold
on to this average he will break
the Cornhusker scoring record,
set last year by Milt "Bus" White
head. Pierce is currently holding on
to the fourth position in the con
ference scoring list. Jim "Bucky"
Buchanan, one of the area's out
standing floor men and a dead
shot, is seventh high Big Seven
scorer. Buchanan has racked up
88 points in conference games for
a 12 plus average. Beyond Pierce
and Buchanan the Husker offer
little threat, although Joe Good
and Eemie Akromis show flashes-
which indicate potential scoring
power.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Noiv Buckeyes
Want Athletic
Director Out
Ohio State students gave every
indication of keeping their repu
tation of being the nation's col
lege football hot spot Friday.
Athletic Director Dick Larkins
blasted big-time football, declar
ing "It's getting completely out of
hand. It's a Frankenstine. Foot
ball l killing itself."
Larkins, in turn, was blasted
by a group of Buckeye students
who still want Paul Brown for
coach.
Want Him Out
The students demanded the re
moval of Larkins, who, according
to a petition circulated on the
campus, "has personally been
bitterly opposed to Paul Brown
as head football coach."
Ohio State's Board of Trustees
will meet again this week to con
sider a man nominated for the
coaching job by screening com
mittees. The nominee is reported to be
Wayne Woodrow (Woody)
Hayes, now coach at Miami,
Ohio university.
Student factions also sent let
ters and telegrams to Hayes
urging that he withdraw.
No Comment
Larkins said he had read one 1
of the ouster petitions, but had
no comment.
Taking cognizance of a resolu
tion passed by state representa
tives asking that all Ohio State
games be televised, Larkins said
he thought saturation of the
airways with football might be a
good thing for the game.
TV the Answer?
"Maybe television is the an
swer," he said. "Maybe it will
kill off football as we have it
today and we can start over and
build it up again without all this
overemphasis. Amputation is
sometimes the best cure."
"If we are forced to televise
next fall, well eventually have
crowds of 25 thousand and 35
thousand in the stadium."
"The resuU is inevitable.
When you have a drastic reduc
tion in gate receipts, other sports
which are supported by football
will have to be lopped off, one
by one."
Sports W ill Go
"Fencing will have to go, then
gymnastics, golf, swimming, bas
ketball and maybe in the end,
football itself."
"Even that," Larkins contin
ued, "might be a good thing."
"1 don't know how much
longer educators can put up with
this stuff. We're enducational in
stitutions, we're not the New
York Yankees or the Chicago
Bears."
"Chicago most certainly has
not suffered because it dropped
football. It's still one of the great
educational institutions in the
country."
Captain Wins
Lack of Size
last May at the conference out
door derby. All he did was whip
luminaries like Nebraska's Loyal
Hurlburt and Missouri's Elmer
Klein in running third to Cole
man and Chuck Temple of Colo
rado. He beat the latter, another
brawny endurance engine, out
of fifth place indoors, but was
disqualified in the process. He
gave Kansas leadoff leads in both
the indoor and outdoor mile re
lays, as the Jayhawkers nudged
out Nebraska for an important
second in the winter meet and
won the outdoor crown by inches
in a rank surprise.
Jones
Jones ran a highly creditable
:51.2 in nipping Schutzel last
week in Lincoln. The tiny Kan
san led almost all the way, los
ing in the last five yards.
Last June he copped the Mis-
V VaUey AAU crown in :

Well Ahead
KU's 6-9 scoring marvel, Clyde
(Mount) LovfUette, is well along
the road to his second consecu
tive Big Seven individual scor
ing title. And he may exceed
even the blazing pace he estab
lished last year.
Through his first seven games
the All-American Alp has canned
170 digits, never hitting less than
18 against any conference foe.
This is good enough for a 50
point bulge over his nearest
rival, Colorado's Wayne Tucker,
and 17 tallies more than he col
lected at the same stage of the
league race last year. With five
games remaining, Lovellette
needs 107 points to match last
season's record outpour of 277
over the 12-game conference
route.
This means accumulating an
average of 21.4 points per game
in his closing five. His current
league mark Is 24.2. Lovellette
needs 123 points in KU's last
seven games to equal his over
all output of 545 for his sopho
more season last winter. He
broke past 400 last Monday by
rimming 24 against Missouri to
raise his 18 game total to 422.

By Shirley Murphy
(Staff Sports Writer)
Nebraska tankers sank before
Iowa State by a score of 58 to 26

at the coliseum. Four new pool
records were established and
four Big Seven records were ex
ceeded. Buele Balderson stroked to
victory In the 200-yard back

event was Nebraska's only record
breaker in the Friday meet.
Eddie Craren copped diving
honors by acquiring 297.3 points

Register Upsets; Vets Win
Sigma Chi upset the dope sheet
Friday night in intramural cage
play by dropping a "cold" Delta
Tau Delta outfit. The upset was
registered by the score 22-18.
The contest was a slow mov
ing affair all the way, the Delts
missing shot after the shot. The
Sigs, sensing a victory, played
a slow cautions game and
though they took much fewer
attempts at the hoop, they
made their shots count.
The Sigs jumped to a 6-4 first
quarterx lead and then were held
scoreless during the secona pe
riod while the Delts captured the
lead by a 8-6 score. Another
slow quarter produced a 12-12

points to lead the Sigs while
Gardner Johnson connected for
six for the losing Delts.

with its second stunning npset in
two davs Friday by stopping
Delta Theta Phi, 29-22. The Pad
dies hit Alpha Sigma Phi on
Thursday.
Come From Behind
To win the Delta Theta . con
test, the PAD'S had to roar from
behind. They did this in the
second period. Trailing 1-8 in the
second quarter, they ' suddenly
caught fire and just before the
half, shot to a 10-8 lead.
The two teams matched point
for point in the third stanza
bat the final Quarter was all
Phi Alpha.
Howard Hansen continued to
lead the Paddies in scoring,
chalking up nine counters for

topped the losing effort with eight
markers.

smacked them down by a 38-20
count. The contest was played on
the city campus court, the first
time for either outfit.
The Plamors rolled with a hot
pace in the first half and led dor
ing the rest period by a 27-11

test smarting under a 0-7 record.
The AGR's had little more, how
ever. Their record of 1-6 showed
only an earlier season win over
the DU's.
i J, Rose scored 12 points for
the Delta Upsilon band to lead
the scoring path. Plncknett with
seven and Fnrst with six were
high for the Aggies.

The Dental Frosh made a game
of it throughout the first half and
kept right on the heels of the
powerful lawyers. At halftime
the score read 36-28. The second

Cyclone trio cooled this medley
relay in 3:02.4 minutes.
Tom Maine streaked past the
Big Seven standing and barely
clipped the pool record in the
200-yard breast stroke with the
time 2:28.3. He chopped one
second off the coliseum record
set by Wilson of Michigan State
in 1948 which was 2:88.4.
Bob Brown, star tanker for
the Cyclones, gave the spectators
a sensational performance by
gliding through the 50-yard
sprint In 22.9 seconds. He broke
Marvin Grimm's 1947 pool rec
ord of 24 seconds and his own
1950 Big Seven shot of 23.7 sec
onds. Brown, one of best tankers in
the league, holds the American
record of 27.3 seconds for the
60-yard. The old record was 27.5.
Brown chalked up a time of 50 9
seconds for the 100-yard in the
National Collegiate meet at Illi
nois last week. World's record of
this event is 49.7 seconds.
The amiable Iowa merman said
he started his swimming career as
"teeney" boy. Now he is a col
lege junior majoring in journal
ism and making swimming rec
ords. Brown also aided the Cy
clone 440-yard relay team as
anchor man. With tank buddies,
LaBerge, Russ Thomas and
Schmidt, Brown helped break the
pool record of 3:44.6 set by Iowa
in 1947. The team swam to win
and bested the Big Seven topper
in the process. Time of the Cy
clone team was 3:35.7 minutes.
Sportsmanship Visible.
After the splashy upsetting
swim meet upsetting for rec
ords as well as Nebraska both
Iowa and Nebraska showed won
derful sportsmanship and spirit
by giving the opposite team a
rousing cheer. The competition,
was rough but friendliness
emerged as was in evidence by
the cheering mermen.
Nebraska sports a two-win,
four-loss swim meet record now.
Coach Hollie Lepley's boys will
make their next appearance at the
Coliseum on Saturday, March 3
at 4 p.m. The mermen will at
tempt to sink the University of
Kansas.
Iowa State held the Big Seven
swimming title for nine successive
years until last year when they
were submerged by Oklahoma.
They have surpassed three Big
Seven records, all against the
Sooners. Jack McQuire is the
Cyclone coach.
Officials were: Ed Higginbot

Cards Can Still
Play in Park
The Missouri Supreme Court
Friday ruled the St. Louis Car
dinals can still play ball at
Sportsman's Park.
A subsidiary of the St Louis
Browns owns the park. It had
sought to evict the Cardinals,
charging they had violated the
terms of their lease by forming a
new company after Fred Saigh
became the owner of the National
League club in 1948.
The Cardinals fought back,
seeking to stay in the only park
of any size in St. Louis.
