Center Ed Kalafat of the Gophers led his mates to the victory, piling: up 18 points to take high point honors. Team mate Dick Means, a former Lin coln high basketeer, scored 13 points for second best.

Ed Kalafat, Bob Gelle and Dick Means combined to give the Gophers a nine to four lead with' five minutes and 30 secondu gone in the fray. During the first "period, the Minnesotans drove basketward time after time through the weak Husker defense. The Goodmen were unable to stem the hard. charging Gophers, who controlled tne boards almost comDletely in the opening frame.

Good's charges weren't able to score a field goal until six minutes and 47 seconds had gone by in the first quarter, when Fred Seger drove in for a layup shot. Nebraska jumped into an early lead as Cenier Bill John son hit two free throws to put the Scarlet out in front. The lead Kalafat and Co. went on to pile up a 22-10 first quarter lead, as the big pivot man scored eight points. Bob Gelle had six, and Dick Means four in the opening stanza. The Huskers had only three buckets in the first quarter, by Snyder, Seger and Johnson. John son hit three free tosses, and Seger had one one-pointer. For a while, it looked like the second quarter was going to be a carbon copy of the first, as the Gophers prevented the Huskers from scoring until four minutes Flie Benehviarmer By RON GIBSON Sports Staff Writer With football out of the way except for the bowl games and basketball just about to begin in earnest, the hot stove league is going full blast. In view of this fact, today's Benchwarmer is abou' baseball. Columbus, Ohio, is currently the scene of the minor league convention. Already plenty of diamond dope has come out of the sessions, including rumors of several "trades." There has been much speculation about whether Joe DiMaggio will retire. And there is a possibility that some rule changes might result from the confab. Probably the most talked-about "trade" is" the one which will supposedly send Ted Williams of the Red Sox to the New York Yankees, either for DiMag or, if the Yankee Clipper decides to re tire, for some other Yank expendables. Another deal in the wind is one which would allegedly send Williams to Detroit in a deal in volving George Kell. Someone started the rumor that Williams might go to Cleveland in exchange for Bob Lemon and Jim Hegan. Has anyone thought of the possibility that Williams might stay with the Red Sox? 9 Over in the National league, there has been almost as much speculation over Stan Musial as there is in the American league about Williams. The Dodgers reportedly want Stan the Man, and they have reportedly offered the Cardinals Duke Snider, Carl Furillo, and $16,000 for him. Although Fred Saigh, owner of the St. Louis club, has become notorious for his trading tactics, we don't believe he is foolish enough to accept this offer. Also involved in this proposed Dodger-Cardinal deal is- a possibility that the Giants might be included, making it a three way swap. It is rumored that the Cards would send one of the players acquired in the Musial deal to the Giants for Eddie Stanky, who would then become manager of the Cardinals. There is another rumor involving other Cardinal players. The Giants reportedly want the Redbirds' Max Lanier, a pitcher, and outfielder Chuck Dierlng. In return, the Cards would get Stanky, and possibly catcher Sal Yvars along with infielder Jack Lohrke. In addition to this "deal" there is another trade brewing. The Boston Braves were said to have been offered shortstop Granny Hamner and pitcher Bubba Church by the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for pitcher Warren Spahn. Some of these deals seem likely, others highly improbable. However, some deals have already been consummated. Prob ably the biggest buyer in the player market has been Bill Veeck of the St. Louis Browns. Veeck's biggest deal so far has been the acquiring of ex-Cardinal manager Marty Marion. Veeck signed Mr. Shortstop to a three-year contract as a coach and a player after Fred Salgh had refused to sign Marion for the '52 season. An able Marion in the shortstop slot would give the Browns' young Infield some experience. The biggest deal from the standpoint of the number of players Involved has been the Browns' three-for-five trade with the Chi cago White Sox. The Brownies have also dealt outfielder Ken Wood to the Red Sox for catcher Les Moss. Next season the fans won't be able to tell the players with a scorecard. were gone in the frame. Gophers Gerald Mitchell, Glen Reed and John Wallerius got into the scor ing column counting four points among themselves. Dick Means added two with a field goal. Then the Huskers' Jim Bu chanan got into the game in earnest, as he scored five points and gave his teammates the spark they needed to perk them up. Stan Matzke and Don Weber scored three points apiece, and Charlie Ott scored on a free throw. In the second quarter, Minne sota scored nine points to Ne braska's 12, and the two teams went to the showers with the Gophers leading 31-22 at half time. The Gophers opened the sec ond half scoring as Kalafat dunked a lay-up. However, Bu chanan's jump shot evened the second half count. Minnesota widened the gap to 40-24 on two buckets by Means, one by Kalafat, and a free toss by Gelle. Weber finally broke the drouth for the Huskers as he made good on two free throws with five minutes and 45 sec onds left in the third quarter. Kalafat followed with two tip ins to run the Gopher lead to 18 points. Charlie Ott, 6 foot seven inch freshman potted a jump shot from the free throw circle which was followed by Weber's long two hander to narrow the margin, 45 30. After the Gophers' Charlie Mencel scored a fielder, Ott scored a hook shot to run the count to 47-32. ...... The Gophers took command during the third quarter, as Kala fat, Means and Mencel lead the Minnesotans to a 56-38 margin as the buzzer sounded. The rebound ing of Weber and Ott featured the Huskers play during the third stanza. After Kalafat again opened the Gopher scoring with a one hander, the Scarlet and Cream went to work in an effort to cut the deficit. Roger Rosenquist, freshman all-stater from Omaha Tech, cashed two gift tosses, and Johnson followed with a hook shot to cut the lead to 16 points. Then with the clock reading 7:06 big Kalafat fouled out and John son made the free throw good. The Cornhuskers now began to whittle down the Gopher margin. How ever, with thre minutes and 59 seconds remaining in the game, Weber fouled out for the Huskers, and the Gophers waived the free throw and began to stall. After 37 seconds of the stall, Clarence Cook tied up Wencel forcing a jump ball, but the Husker could not take advan tage of the break. With two minutes to go, Cook fouled Wal ' lerius, who potted both free throws to end the Gopher scor ing for the evening. Buchanan dunked a layin on a fine feed from Fredstrom to run the count to 63-51. Cook followed with another lay-in at 1:23. With 25 seconds remaining, the Gophers Gelle drve hard for the bucket and was upended, landing on his head on the maples. Al though shaken up, he was not seriously hurt. With the foul being called on Gelle, the Huskers took the ball out of bounds, and with a few seconds remaining, Buchanan scored a long set shot to run the final count to 63-55 in favor of the Minnesota Gophers. For the Cornhuskers, Bu chanan was his usual steady self in leading the Nebraska team. The performance of sophomore Weber was a bright spot in the Husker attack. His rebounding and shooting eye were a spark ling feature throughout the game. Coach Good commented after the game, that he felt his boys did quite well again a Big Ten Con ference opponent of Minnesota's standing. He said that the Gophers had a team of very fine shooters. Coach Good added that the Huskers have a lot of work to do to improve their individual defense in preparation for the next game which will be against Northwest Missouri Teachers next Tuesday at the Coliseum.
