The Nebraska cindermen will
try to prove their one defeat at
the hands of the Missouri Tigers
was all a mistake when they en
tertain the Kansas State Wild
cats tonight at 7:00 p.m.
The Scarlet are currently sport
ing a three win-one loss record.
The Missourians took them into
camp, 71-33, down at Columbia
last Saturday night.
The Wildcats, stimulated by a
53-51 win over Drake, will be
trying to do as well in the Big
Seven.
The Wildcats may not have
enough team-balance to win the
meet," Coach Ed Weir asserts,
"but they have some individual
performers who will give good
accounts of themselves."

Wildcats Slip
To Fifth in
National Rank
Kansas State slipped to fifth
end Oklahoma made its appear
ance on the 17th rung this week
in the Associated Press basket
ball poll. The Wildcats dropped
from third place after their de
feat at the hands of the Soon
ers. The Okies were unrated a
week ago.
Another set of Wildcats, these
from Kentucky, are still the
number one team in the nation.
For the fifth straight week, Ken
tucky is the leading cage team.
The Wildcats, sporting a 16-game
winning streak, again edged out
Oklahoma A & M in the weekly
poll.
Columbia, the only major un
beaten team left, moved up to
third replacing Kansas State.
Indiana also advanced, from
sixth to fourth place, but that
was before the Hoosiers dropped
a 71-65 decision to Illinois Mon
day night.
Illinois, now a heavy favorite
in the Big Ten, moved from
eleventh place into the select
group with a tenth place finish.
The rest of the top ten con
sists of St. Louis in sixth, Brad
ley in seventh, St. John's of
Brooklyn in eighth and North
Carolina State, ninth.

of the top broad jump artists in
the nation. He has bettered 25
feet during his career. He leaped
ii' a against Drake.
Virgil Severns holds the Nebraska-Kansas
State high jump
record, a 6 5" effort in last
year's meet. However, he is com
peting in the Pan American
games at the present time and
will not participate in this meet.
Thurlew
Don Thurlew is rated as one
of the five best two milers in the
conference and will present a
threat to the Huskers. Thane
Baker, a sophomore sprinter, has
proved to be effective in the
big-time competition.
The Huskers will be facing
three grid stars in Dick Towers,
880; Bill Wall, relay; and Lane
Brown, broad jump and hurdles.
But Nebraska has a few per
formers of its own who can win
when the occasion demands.
Vaulter Don Cooper will be
trying to go all the way in this
meet, according to Weir. Cur
rently, the only college vaulter tc
better Cooper's top height in Don
Laz of Illinois. The Huskers will
have added punch in the event
with the presence of veteran
Leonard Kehl. Always good for
13 feet or better, Kehl would
ordinarily be top man on any
squad.
Meissner
Another Husker who will be in
the spotllight in Dick Meissner,
star high jumper. Meissner re
cently set a new all-time Husker
indoor record of 6' 5". The old
record was 6' 4" by Monte
Kinder.
Hobe Jones, outstanding sopho
more runner, will concentrate on
the 880. He has been doubling
up in the 440 in previous meets.
Dan Tolman has been running
70-yrxd wind sprints in an effort
to strengthen his finish in the
hurdles. He was barely nipped
for a first place in the last few
meets.
Irving Thode and Glenn Beer
line will combine their talents to
trp and offset the Wildcat broad
jump strength.
The Husker cause will be
hampered by the loss of Wendv
Cole. He has been bothered bya
knee injury since the opening
meet.

Sig Eps Nudge
Kap Sigs; Beta
Hits Pi Kaps
Unbeaten Sigma Phi Epsilon
struggled to their seventh
straight victory Monday oy slid
ing by Kappa Sigma, 23-21. The
two teams played through four
slow quarters before the Sig Eps
claimed their victory. i
First quarter score was 4-0 in
favor of the victors and although
the tempo increased in the sec
ond stanza, the score was only
13-8 at halftime. The Kappa
Sigs had their golden chance in
the second half with the Sig Eps
scoring but ten points, but 13
was the most the losers could
muster.
Brandon of the winners topped
the game's scoring with 11 points.
Minikus with six and P. Curtis
with five led the Kappa Sigs.
Quarter Spurts
Beta Theta Pi spurted in the
first and third quarters enough
to fool around the other two
stanzas and still win their con
test with Pi Kappa Phi. The
Betas won the contest 29-22.
The victors crammed 25 points
into the opening quarters of each
half and added a lonely two in
each of the remaining periods. .
The Pi Kaps were more con
sistent, but consistently low.
They scored six points in each
the first, recond and fourth quar
ters and slipped to four in the
third.
Reynolds with 16 markers led
the .victors' scoring chart while
teammate Whitham added sev
en. Duane Gardner topped the
Pi Kap point-getting with eight
counters. Duane D e i t e r i n g
pumped in seven more.
LIU Cagers
Admit 'Fixes'
Big time gambling has evi
dently become an epidemic. Long
Island University added its name
to the all ready numerous bas
ketball teams who are taking
bribes.
District Attorney Frank S.
Hogan charged three members of
the team of juggling games for
money. Included among these
was Sherman White, acclaimed
by many as the outstanding
player of the year. He is cur
rently the nation's top scorer. Le
Roy Smith and Adolph Bigos
were also included in the charges.
Hogan charged the three with
taking part in the same betting
ring he broke up over the week
end with the arrest of five other
college basketball players and a
former convict.
The trio finally confessed after
being questioned by Hogan in an
all-night session that started
Monday afternoon and lasted
more than twelve hours.
Bribes
Hogan specifically charged the
three with taking $3,000 in bribes
to reduce the margin of points
by which they won the opening
game of the current season
L.I.U.'s 60 to 59 victory over
Kansas State in Madison Square
Garden, December 2, 1950.
The three were involved in
"fixing" other games during the
team's 20-4 season, according to
Hogan.
He said they admitted they
took money for shaving points
on games, and they operated
with Salvatore Sollazzo and Ed
die Gard to set up betting coups.
White, six-foot, seven-inch for
ward, was the nation's highest
scorer with an amazing average
of 27.7 points per game. He had
been regarded as a leading candi
date for All-American honors and
already had been named "player
of the year" by the Sporting
News.
tory over Doug Peters of Beta
Theta Pi.
Strasheim Wins.
Don Strasheim of Phi Gamma
Delta grabbed off the top spot
of league III by downing Jim
Oliver of Phi Delta Theta.
The onlv other league winner
to be crowned thus far is the first
place in league IV. Doug Dudley
of Sigma Alpha Epsilon came
through the victor here, winning
over Dave Avery or aeia uneia
Pi.
In leagues V, VI and VII the fi
nalists still remain. In the fifth
league Bill Rogers of Beta Theta
Pi and James Quinn of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon are still in con
tention. - League VI still has Brown of
Phi Gamma Delta and Ted Can
non also a Fiji remaining. Bruce
Perrine of SAE and Ken Minnick
of the Betas are the survivors of
league VIII.
New Tourney.
As soon as the last hree
leaeues have been won, the seven
top men will compete in a new
sin pie elimination tourney for the
All-U title. To maKe it an eigm-
team oracKei, ui Luc iit,
league finalists will be drawn oy
lot for a chance at the big-time.
As the final tourney stands, the
winners of league I and league III
will meet in the first round as
will winners of V and II. Victors
of leagues IV and VI will vie and
league VII champ will meet the
selected runner-up.
Only sure opposition in the fi
nal playoffs to date is the meet
ing of Stansbury and Strasheim.
Betas Slip.
Beta Theta Pi, which led the
survivors with six out of 16 last
week, lost four men in competi
tion this week. The SAE's lost
one and the Sammies the sixth.
The Sig Alpha now lead in the
number of remaining men with
three each of the ten. The Betas
own two and one each are from
Presby and the independents.
Gridders Fool Around;
Play Sharp Ball
By Shirley Murphy
The basketball game between the red and green squads of the
Husker football team at the Missouri-fJebraska basketball half-time
showed the versatility of Glassford's bojs. Verl Scott of the
green squad controlled the board most of the time, while the
full court passes kept team members, referee and spectator's heads
going from one end of the court to the other. The greens emerged
victorious 19 to 15 in a ten minute period, remarkable consid
ering all the fooling around. . .
Burt Moore, Iowa State football line coach, swapped his grid
ders for bowlers this semester. He is teaching the largest bowling
class at ISC of 279 members single-handed. This is his first stab
at bowling instruction. Previous to this, he had taught only foot
ball and basketball. . .
Four Missouri gridders have been drafted by professional teams
for 1951 tryouts. They are: Guard John Kadlec by the Washing
ton Redskins; halfback Ed Stephens by the San Francisco 49ers;
halfback John Glorioso by the Philadelphia Eagles; and end Gene
Ackermann by the Chicago Cardinals...
A total of $72,611.57 has been paid to the Big Seven confer
ence by the University of Oklahoma from its receipts from four
football bowl games during the past five years, athletic director
Bud Wilkinson has disclosed.
The Sooners' check for $26,611.49, representing the confer
ence's cut from the 1951 Sugar Bowl game, went to Reaves Peters,
conference executive secretary, just recently. Oklahoma paid
$28,570.16 to the league from its 1950 Sugar Bowl game; $10,429.92
from its 1949 Sugar Bowl game and the minimum guarantee of
$5000 from its 1947 Gator Bowl receipts...
Colorado sponsors a sport novel to the Big Seven. This is var
sity skiing. The Buff team bolstered by the return to action of co
coach Jim Griffith, entered their third four-way ski meet last week
end. . .
Virgil Severns, holder of the Nebraska-Kansas State dual record
in the high jump, will not perform with the K-State squad at the
meet Wednesday at Lincoln because he is in Buenos Aires for
the Pan American games. His best jump this year is six feet
four and, five-eighths inches. The dual record mark, set by hfm
in 1950, is six feet five and five-eighths inches . . .
Charley Hoag, ace University of Kansas sophomore player, is
living up to a heritage at Lawrence. His uncle was member of
the cage squad back in the 1920's. He is carrying on the tradition
as a double football and basketball star. Charley was a leading
member of the Jayhawk backfield and has broken into Phog Allen's
basketball combination. . .
The same, Gene Ackermann, Missouri end who was drafted
by the Chicago Cardinals, finished the 1950 football season with a
three-year total of 1028 yards in pass receptions. This is a career
record at the University of Missouri. . .
Mizzou's distance ace, Bill McGuire, holds three all-time records
at the University of Missouri. Outdoors last year he ran a 4:10.7
mile against Kansas and a 9:16.7 two-mile in the Drake Relays. Best
indoor mile mark of 4:14.8 was recorded in the 1949 Illinois Tech
Relays ...

Husker center Bob Pierce rolled
nearer and nearer to establish

Peru Used
Ineligible Men
Peru college's Nebraska Col
lege conference basketball title
aspirations suffered a rude jolt.
The school had been hoping for
its fourth straight basketball
title.
But the conference's eligibility
committer ruled Bob Davis, Peru
center, as being ineligible for
basketball competition during the
first semester. The matter now
will be referred to loop faculty
representative of each member
school before a final decision is
reached.
If the faculty representatives
support the eligibility commit
tee's ruling, Peru would practic
ally be forced out of the title
picture.
The Peru basketball team cur
rently leads the league with a
9-1 record.
Davis has been charged with
participating in the first Hastings-Peru
contest which Peru
won. pavis failed to score in
that game which was played dur
ing the first semester.
That is the only game in which
Peru allegedly used Davis dur
ing the period he was ineligible.
The eligibility committee's rul
ing would cost Peru that win and
give a victory to Hastings.
The Hastings Broncs can prac
tically sew up the title defeating
Doane in their season's final Sat
urday night.
The conference race could stui
end in a tie regardless of the
final ruling if Doane upsets Has
tings Saturday and Peru wins the
remaining four games.
