Pre-season charts Tiave placed Harry Good's basketball five at
tn bottom 01 tne Big Seven barrel. Look magazine selects our
Huskers lor a sixth place finish.
However most Nebraska sport followers have developed a twalt
and see" attitude. They have learned from the past football season
that tames are not won on paper.
Nebraska's 1911-52 basketball crew does lack
experience. Also there Is a shortage of height on
the starting five (by Big Seven standards that is).
But this year's club does have an abundance of
scrap and hustle plus a great deal of desire and
will to win.
The ball-handling wizardry of Jim Bu
chanan and Joe Good, the shooting of Stan
Matzke, the rebounding of Big Bill Johnson, the
scrap and all-around play of Jim Snyder and
Fred Seger, and the pivot play of Bud Ward
should provide many thrills during the coming
season.
HARRY GOOD
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Tau Omega have been stamped
as the "teams to beat" for the intramural basketball crown. Their
line-ups are dotted with former high school standouts and part-time
college performers. Phi Kappa Psi, composed almost entirely of
former Grand Island stars, looms as a darkhorse threat. A new intra
mural rule allowing football players to play until spring practice
could strengthen several clubs.
Intramural director Ed Higginbotham has come up with a
couple Ideas designed to improve the intramural basketball set
up, A plan used for the first time this year has the competing
teams each supplying one referee. Of course the officials must be
from organisations other than those playing. Benefits are twofold.
First of all the teams have only themselves to blame if the offi
ciating isn't up to par. Secondly, the refs, who are paid on a per
game basis, will be bearing down in an effort to be rehired.
Higginbotham also has come up with six o'clock practice sessions.
This move was necessitated by the heavy game schedule.
Husker end coach Marv "Preacher" Franklin must be awfully
fcroud of the Improvement shown by his defensive ends. Dennis
Iknanuel and Bill Schabacker. These boys were terrific in the Colo
mlo and Oklahoma games. Their performances rank as one of the
Highlights of the season.
It's quite a puzzle how Gregg McBride, Omaha World-Herald
sports writer, managed to omit Lincoln high's Ted King from his
list of All-State stars. King, probably the best running back in
high school ranks, scored 106 points during Lincoln's all-victorious
season. This eclipsed George Sauer's old mark of 86.
Rumor has it that Nebraska will feature the single wing in its
offense next year. The formation seems like a natural for the likes
of Bob Reynolds, John Bordogna, Jim Cederdahl and Ray Novak.
Fred Saigh didn't make any new friends by ousting Marty
Marion from the managership of the Cardinals. Marion did a good
job considering the talent available.

Sig Eps Win University,
Intramural Grid Crowns
By MARSHALL KUSHNER
Assistant Sports Editor
A highly-potent offensive at
tack and the swashbuckling run
ning and passing of Ted Kratt
led the Sigma Phi Epsilon foot
ball team to the Intramural and
All-University football titles this
fall.
After a controversial struggle,
with the Delta Tau Delta's, the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon gridiron
machine was picked to face the
fancy Sig Eps.
The running attack was at its
very best against the S.A.E.V
and the Sig Eps rolled to a 6-0
win. .The clinching touchdown
came in the third period when
Kratt fired a bullseye pass to
Bob Svanda in the end zone.
Kratt's attempted drive around
the end fell short by inches, and
the six points scored was enough
to carry the Sig Eps to the I-M
crown.
For the Sig Alphs, it was the
vain efforts of Jumpin' Joe Gif
ford and Bill Shainholtz to keep
the SAE colors flying. Shainholtz
was particularly bottled up by
the stiff Sig Ep defense.
-
It was the same story in the
all-University title bid as the Sig
Eps bucked heads with a staunch
Y.M.C.A.- crew and set it down
with a 13-6 loss.
The first score came when
Kratt unwound a bullet pass
into the cradling arms of Fred
Peterson. After plowing his
way through for yardage, Pe-
Jay Linebacker
A Main Factor
In Kansas Defense
That No. 33 is murder," said
Loyola's Don Klosterman admir
ingly after Kansas' four touch
down comeback had nipped the
Lions, 34-26.
"He's not dirty, but he sure hits
hard. What a bull."
Klosterman was speaking of
Galen Fiss, the Jayhawkers' oaken
hewn 205-pound linebacker who's
resounding hole-closing in the fi
nal half was a big reason in lim
iting the Califomians' sharp rush
ing attack to 47 yards through
the final 30 minutes.
terson was finally halted at the
one-yard line.
Kratt proved his running adept
ness and smashed through guard
and tackle for the extra point
and the Sig Eps were in a 7-0
command. But all was not in the
bag for the Sixteenth Street grid
ders. The Y.M.C.A. eleven retaliated
on a long pass that went over the
Sig Ep pass defense. The extra
point try went awry and the Y
men were in position they failed
to overcome at the final gun.
Kratt put the finishing
touches on the win with a her
culean aerial in the arms of
Hyle "Red" Thibault. Thibault
hauled the pass in and rambled
80 yards to score.
Peterson administer a key block
that allowed Thibault to dance up
the sidelines untouched by
Y.M.C.A. hands. Kratt was
stopped short of the goal and the
record was complete.
I-M Grappling
Prelims Start
Tuesday
Intramural wrestling will take
the spotlight Tuesday, as prelimi
naries get under way on the Coli
seum mats.
Varsity wrestling coach Al Par
tin, director of the meet, an
nounced that close to 100 men
were entered in the meet. Weigh
ing in was held Monday evening.
Seven intramural champions
will be crowned following the
finals on Friday. Contestants are
entered in the 123, 137, 147, 157,
167, 177 and heavyweight classes.
The winning team will be
awarded an all-University cham
pionship trophy. Individual win
ners in each weight class will re

Bob Banks
Is Selector
Of The Year
By DOUG WILCOX
Sports Staff Writer
Winner and still champion! Bob
Banks, sports editor of The Daily
Nebraskan, reigns as the king of
the experts as the final averages
for the ''Here Are Your Winners"
selections have been compiled.
Bob hit nine of ten predictions
this week to give him a final .724
percentage. This mark is quite
favorable in comparison with
some of the nationally known
prognosticates like Speir, Fraley
and Williamson.
Runner-up spot in the final
compilation goes to consistent
winning Arley Bondarin. .A
member of the sports staff, Bon
darin connected on eight games
this week and has been high in
the expert standings all year.
Bondarin's percentage was .689
this season.
Marshall Kushner, assistant
sports editor, claims the third
place spot After getting off to a
rather shaky start, Kushner hit 17
of his last 19 selections to take the
third place rating. His average
was .678.
Arne Stern, assistant business
manager, and Jack Cohen, busi
ness manager, ended up in a tie
for fourth and fifth. Stern fell
from third place while Cohen
wilted down from his early season
leadership in the poll.
Ron Gibson hit eight on the
nose this week and took possession
of sixth place with a .655. Ron
is a staff writer for the sports de
partment also.
A pair of sports writers, Doug
Wilcox and Tom Becker, mon
nopolized the seventh and eighth
place posts with .655. Wilcox
had an up-and-down season.
After ascending to fourth, Wil
cox fell back down the ladder.
Becker pulled up from eleventh.
Tom Rische, editor of the pub
lication, took the worst fall toward
the end of the season. After tak
ing the leadership in the predic
tions for two weeks, Rische fi
nally ended up in ninth place with
a .632.
Dale Reynolds, ag campus edi
tor, made good on 54 games out of
87 to win him the tenth place.
Raynolds had a rather bad time
with the tough games this year,
although rallying to hit eight
winners last week.
Shirley Murphy and Don Pie
per wound up in a tie for the
booby prize and last place. Both
hit .608 to at least give the staff
of experts the pride to say that
all stayed above the .600 mark.
Murphy is news editor and Pie
per is managing editor.
The sports staff finally won its
struggle for departmental suprem
acy. The six sports prognostica
tors averaged .672 to top the pair
of students working for the busi
ness staff who hit only .666.

scorers with IS points. Matzke
was second with 11. ,
Good classed Jerry Sandbulte.
Fred Seger, guards, and Clarence
Cook and Dave Fahrback, for
wards, as boys who played a good
game and show possibilities of developing.
The center position, Maestro
Good said, is wide open. We will
still experiment.
Good said that Bill Johnson. 6-7
sophomore, has more of the style
oi the play that the Comhuskers
use because he was on the fresh
man squad last year.
"Johnson has to be more ag
gressive and agile, he is weak on
rebounds," Good added.
The other center prospect, 6-6
freshman, Chuck Ott, is playing
his first year at Nebraska and
has yet to get on the Husker
style of play.
Since the post position is the
key position in the Nebraska at
tack, the caliber of the pivot man
will determine the fortunes of the
team.
The Comhuskers are presently
working on offensive patterns and
polishing their defensive play.
Good believes that his fast
break offensive must improve.
Although the fast break to not
the Huskers' main attack, it is
a good threat against other
teams.
Freshman Paul Fredstrom, Good
said, is coming along at his new
position, forward.
"With as many freshmen as we
have on the team, it takes some
time to unify the attack," he
added.
We have a representative
group, Coach Good said, from
the state. Some will come along
in a year or two. They are en
thusiastic and eager to learn.
Nebraska's next game will be
the Minnesota affair Saturday at
the Coliseum.
The Golden Gophers are ex
pected to have one of the best
teams in the Big Ten conference
this year.
Leading the attack will be Art
Anderson, 6-4, Bob Gelle, 6-3,
and 6-1 Dick Mean;, former
Lincoln high all-stater.
At Minneapolis last year, the
Gophers dropped the Huskers, 55
41. In the Big Seven, Good believes
that Kansas and Kansas State are
the best. ' It is not known about
the rest of the teams except that
Oklahoma had the best freshman
team in its history.
It would be difficult to prog
nosticate the standings of the
other teams because the schools
have two groups to draw from.
Basketball teams of the Big Seven
not only can use members of the
last year's freshman teams, but
also this year's freshmen.
Basketball is more unpredict
able, Good said, than any other
sport, therefore it's hard to say
where the teams will place.
The sixth annual Big Seven
Pre-season basketball tournament
will be held at the Municipal
Auditorium in Kansas City,
Missouri, on December 26, 27, 28,
and 29. Stanford University will
be the guest team.

1946 SMU.
1947 Kansas State.
1948 Oklahoma.
1949 Missouri.
1950 Kansas State.
Each team will play three
games during the tournament;
consolation games will be played
the afternoons of Dec. 28 and 29
at 2:00 and 3:45.
Previous guest teams:
1946 Arkansas and SMU
(then Big Six).
1947 Oklahoma A and M.
1948 Harvard.
1949 Michigan.
