Powerful Sooners Favored
Over Husker Tracksters
There is no rest for the vic
torious. Coach Ed Weir and his
Nebraska tracksters, with only
a two-day breather from their
rout of Kansas State Wednesday
night, play hosts to the powerful
Oklahoma Sooners Saturday
night.
The Weirmen, counting the
Wildcats as their fourth victim in
fivs starts, face the darkhorse of
the Big Seven Indoor meet. The
Saturday dual in Memorial Sta
dium will be the last competi
tion for the thinclads until the
conference meet in Kansas City
March 2, 3.
The Sooners readied themselves
lor the Husker encounter last
Saturday by blasting the defend
big indoor champions, Kansas
Jayhawks, to the tune of 72-32.

Televising
A resolution has been offered
In the state legislature asking
that Nebraska televise its home
football games.
Senators Charles Tvrdik, Wil
liam Moulton and John P. Mc
Knight introduced the bill Thurs
day.
Tvrdik had stated several days
ago that he wanted to take the
necessary steps requiring the
university to allow its home
games to be televised as was done
in the past two years.
But the resolution was recon
sidered and finally it was drafted
to ask "that the university do
everything possible to obtain per
mission of the Big Seven confer
ence to permit television."
The resolution further asked
that copies of it be sent to legis
latures in Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas," Oklahoma and Colorado.
These states comprise the other
schools in the Big Seven. It also
asked that copies be sent to the
presidents of other conference
schools.
Televising the games is re
quired because all the Nebraska
football fans can not see the
games at Memorial Stadium since
size, distance from the stadium
and other physical difficulties do
not permit
"AH loyal Nebraskans like to
see their university team in ac
tion on the gridiron," the reso
lution stated, "and some may do
this only by the medium of tel
evision." University authorities had dis
agreed with Tvrdik. They main
tained they are only cooperating
with the policy set down by the
National Collegoate Athletic asso
ciation to prohibit televising col
lege sports on a one year tfial
test to see how it gate receipts.
WOW-TV, Omaha, has televised
Nebraska games at Memorial
Stadium for the past two years.

AROUND THE LOOP...
. Big Seven Called
Tough Cage Area
Bjr Shirley Murphy
Wayne Tucker, Califomian ! style among Big Seven coaches,
olavine for Colorado, has a com- Phog Allen gave a good demon-
pliment for the Midwest, at least
its basketball. "Tuck" thinks the
Big Seven is one of the nation's
toughest areas for cage player.
He hails from San Marino, Cal
ifornia. Currently third highest scorer
In the Big Seven, he has sent
237 points through the nets this
season. In 19 games, "Tuck" has
a 34 shooting average from the
floor and 75 from the jcharity
line.
He has great regard for Kan
sas. He says the Jayhawk sta
' dium at Lawrence is the finest
he has ever played in. One rea
son being that the Kansas floor
reminds him of Colorado and
makes him feel at home. He
thinks that K-Staters Ernie Bar
rett and Jack Stone are two of
the toughest men to score against
toe has men in three years of col
ige play.
Bench tactics reem quite in
The Okies marked themselves
up beside six records in that
meet while toying with the Kan
sans. Early Indications point to the
Sooners being favored to topple
the Huskers despite the good
showing of the Nebraskans to
date.
Coach Weir fears the Sooners
mostly in the 440-yard dash. The
1 n v a d e rs have tremendGus
strength in that event along with
veteran performers in the dis
tances and field events.
To offset this decided Sooner
advantage, Coach Weir has been
making several changes.
To match the Oklahoma 440
entries of Jerry Meader and
Charles Coleman, he is putting
Bill Hein, Bob Barchus and Jack
Scoville in the quarter.
Record-breaker Hobe Jones
will see double-duty Saturday.
He is scheduled to run both the
880 and the mile. Hobe's best
time of 1:57.3 which he turned in
against Kansas Statet will get
severe test from Don Crabtree
and George McCormick. Crab-
tree turned in a 1:57.6 against
the Jays. Also slated to see 880
duty for the Scarlet are Gene
Yelkin and Dale Schnackle.
In the mile it will be Jones,
Ken Jacobs and Yelkin against
Jim Wilkinson, the Sooner flash,
In the hurdles, Coach Weir
will string along with Huskers
Don Bedker, Dan Tolman and
Blake Cathro. Timber-topper
Wendy Cole is still out of action,
but may be ready to go for the
league meet.
Ken Jacobs and Bob Kruger
will be the NU one-two men in
the long one, the two-mile run
They will be pitted against
Sooner Bruce Drummond.
Four Huskers are tentatively
set for action in the 60-yard
dash. They are Lee Alexander,
Leonard Kehl, Sheldon Jacobs,
and Irving Thode. They will
have to face the three Okies
who swept that event against
Kansas, Quanah Cox, Don Sobo
cinski and Jimmy Smith.
Vault to Huskers
In the pole vault, the Huskers
are expecting no competition as
usual. Nebraska's Don Cooper
and Len Kehl are favored to fin
ish one-two in this event as they
have all year.
The Sooners will be out for
points in the high jump with
Dick Jones and Tom Churchill
both hitting consistantly over
6-2. Husker Dick Meissner will
have to go on high to win this
one.
In the shot and broad jump,
the Sooners also have the ad
vantage although the Scarlet
jumpers of Irv Thode and Glenn
Beerline will have plenty to say.
The meet is scheduled to get
under way at 6 p.m. Saturday to
allow fans to see both it and the
basketball game.
BILL CLAY . . . Buffalo for
ward, is slated to start against
the Cornhuskers Saturday
night.

EvScArthur,
Shatter 1 -
Scoring records were smashed
and then ground to dust Wednes
day night in intramural basket
ball play. Newman Club. Phi
Delta Phi, Jack Walentine and
Don McArthur all took good
care of the previous marks.
The old records of 83 points by
a team in one game and 38
points by one player In one con
test met decisive deaths.
Newman Club started the ball
rolling or probably it was fly
ing by running up a 96-17 score
on the Methodist Student House.
They rolled to 24 points in the
first quarter, 21 in the second,
roared to 29 in the third and
finished off -with 22-in the finale.
The Methodists, a good cage
outfit, were just powerless to
halt the rampaging Catholics
once they got going.
Out for a Record
Newman was definitely out
for a record as the Catholic first
string played the entire game
while the Methodists subbed
freely.
Jack Walentine of the Catho
lics established a new individ
ual record by netting 20 field
goals and one free toss for 41
markers, surpassing the old mark
by three set by Woody Bohn of
the Lutheran Student House in
1950. Neil Campbell tallied 20
points for Newman Club as runner-up.
Glen Carter garnered
a third of the Methodist points
with six.
There was some consolation
for the Methodists, however. The
Newman men were out to topple
the one-hundred mark and had
an excellent chance to do it. The
losers, seeing at least one goal to
strive for, played control ball for
the last three minutes and ac
complished their feat.
Walentine set his record at
six o'clock. He owned it for
about three hours.
McArthur Hits
Don McArthur, - spearhead of
the Phi Delta Phi lawyers, went
point-happy in the 8 p. m. bat
tle between the PDPhi's and Phi
Alpha Delta and shoved the rec
ord over the half-hundred mark.
McArthur scored 81 points in
that game.
. .Thirty-one markers fell his
way in the second half of that
fray as the lawyers were out for
records also. McArthur got his
but his team fell short of the
Catholic total by five points.
The final score was 91-19.
The shysters potted 20 in both
parts of the first half and then
spurted to 27 and 24 markers in
the last two quarters. Bill Wen
ke ran second to McArthur with
20 points. Bob Harson and Ber
nie Packett of the Paddies each
counted four.
One-Hour Record
Jim Walsh of Sigma Phi Ep
silon established the individual
mark of 38 in a 7 p. m. game
last February only to lose it an
hour later when Bohn streaked j
to 38. Walsh had eclipsed Dar
rell Heiss's Farm House record
of 31.
Alpha Tau Omega owned the
team scoring record until
Wednesday, running up their 83
points against Sigma Alpha Mu
last year.
Other teams hooked-up in
good basketball Wednesday.
The Lutheran Student House
climbed to second place in the
Denominational league IX by
stopping Presby House, 43-29.
It was the sixth win for the Lu
therans compared to two de
feats, identical to Presby's rec
ord. The Lutherans jumped to a
D-6 first quarter lead and main
tained it throughout the contest.
Halftime s:ore was 22-14 In fa
vor of LSA.
Stauffer High
Lee Stauffer of the victors
took scoring honors in the con
test with 16 points while mate
Glen Johnson notched 12.

that his matmen are in top con

Huskers defeated Kansas State

duels.
Darrell Adamson will make his
first varsity appearance for Ne

Big Seven champ, who is side

ment next week.
Noble was an end on the
Husker frosh team last fall and
was an All-State fullback and a

Cagers Can Climb to Fifth 1
With Win Over Colorado U
Coach Harry Good will nrob
ably, string along with the same
starting lineup that upset Mis
souri against the University of
Colorado cagers Saturday night in
his hunt for a combination which
can consistently win ball games
This starting five has Joe Good
and Bernie Akromis at the for
wards, Bob Pierce at center, and
Jim Buchanan and Bob Mercier at
the guards. The unit would have
played the whole game against
the Missouri Tigers except that
Buchanan fouled out in the last
few minutes of the game.
The Saturday scrap while not
billed as a championship con
test will nevertheless allow one
of two teams to pull out of the
cellar. They are currenty tied for
sixth and seventh places in the
Big Seven. Both teams have a
season record of two wins and
six losses. The winner Saturday
night will climb into a fifth and
sixth place tie with the Iowa
State Cyclones.
Coach Good, and his squad are
hoping for a repeat performance
of last year's Nebraska-Colorado
series when the Buffaloes beat
Nebraska at Boulder but were de
feated in Lincoln.
Colorado defeated the Huskers,
51-45, on her home court in the
first game this year. The Buffa
loes had too much team scoring
for the Goodmen m that tilt,
Wayne Tucker collected 14 points
while Jim Armatas and John
Amaya both scored 12. But ve
teran Bob Pierce topped both
teams with 17 tallies.
Tucker
Tucker is currently the third
high scorer in the conference. He
has been the backbone of Coach
H. B. Lee's team. He has a 34
shooting average from the floor
and 75 on free throws. Tucker
is noted for his aggressive play.
Another stellar performer for
the Buffaloes is senior Bill Clay.
His six feet four inches are put
to good use at one of the starting
forward berths.
Lee is taking his first crack as
the Colorado head mentor. Before
going to Buffalo he was basket
ball coach at Utah State.
Although they emerged victor
ious over the Missourians, the
Husker cagers failed to exhibit a
consistently smooth floor game.
But the stall in the dying mo
ments of the game showed they
could present a good passing and
floor exhibition.
All six men who participated in
the Missouri game managed to get
in on the scoring act. However,
Pierce was the only man who was
really hot. The other four starters
were even up with seven points
apiece. Pierce got twenty-five to
continue his assault on "Bus"
Whiteheads's record. Paul Kipper
broke the scoring column with a
free throw.
The new Husker starting com
bination has moved "Good " from
his old guard berth to a for

ward position. He has shown oc
casional flashes of being a scor
ing threat, and perhaps his newly
found position will bring th
flash into a steady beam.
Mercier
But the newest addition to the
starting five, Bob Mercier, is the
player who really shows a lot of
hustle and energy. He prepried at
Teachers College where he be
came one of the outstanding
players in Class "B" competition.
But he proved that playing at a
small school was no handicap at
all when he won a place for him
self on Tony Sharpe's frosh team
along side of such Class "A" stal
warts as Good, Bob Reynolds,
Chuck Stickels, Ted Connor and
Ron Roeder.
His varsity debut was badly
jolted when he hurt an ankle in
practice and was forced to emit
playing for several weeks. Mer-
cier's passing and speed are ex
cellent, while his shooting eye
should add scoring punch to the
Husker machine.
Pierce will be the tallest man
on either team and so will prob
ably be able to cash in on his re
bounding ability as well as in the
scoring department.
JIM WALSH . . . Scarlet eager,
will be available for floor du
ty against the Buffs.
