Playing their best game of the
young cage season, the Nebraska
Cornhuskers blasted Fresno State
College 72-48 Saturday night at
ine coliseum.
The freshmen and sophomore
studded varsity showed plenty
of potential as they mowed
down tho invaders with a fine
team display. Jim Buchanan,
the only senior in the starting
line-up, took scoring honors for
the evening with 13 points.
This marked the fourth straight
game in which Buchanan has
moonpolized individual point
getting for the Huskers.
Don Weber, a freshman from
Esterville, Iowa, contributed 11
tallies, while 220 lb. Charlie Ott
hit for 10 points.
Don Viel, Hollis Shannon and
Ted Himer all chalked up 1C
counters for the Fresno State
College club.
The Cornhuskers jumped off
to an early 4-0 lead on buckets
by Weber and Buchanan. Viel
put the Californians in the
scoring column with a two
pointer before Ott dropped in
another Husker basket. A push

world's pole-vault record of 15

Is presently coaching the Fresno
State College basketball team
that lost to the Huskers Satur
day night.
In Warmerdam's opinion, Don
Laz of Illinois is the outstanding
young vaulter in the country at
the present time. The soft spoken
track great also had praise for
Kebraska's high flying Don Cooper
Who has a 15 foot plus vault to his
credit.
"Although I saw Cooper when
he was suffering from a bad
leg, said Warmerdam, "he
seemed to have a great deal of
potential."
Warmerdam is not completely
out of the track picture, for he
serves as sassistant track coach
at Fresno State, his alma mater.
He confessed he prefers track
coaching. "It's no strain. You just
turn 'em loose and someone comes
through with a good performance.
In basketball, if you lose, there's
nothing."
When asked about the present
cry for de-emphasis. Warmer
dam commented, "There's no
Question but that sports are
over-emnhasized." However, he
added, "It seems everybody Is
trying to get his finger in the
pie, by offer'ng al klns of
solutions."
Warmerdam started his peerless
vaulting career as a kid in gram
mar school "for no special reason."
In all, he spent 20 years at his mt
pass from Good. Ott's basket and
a charity throw by the visitors
Himer closed out the first quarter
scoring. Nebraska led 20-16 at the
initial rest period.

Most heartening early seasoi
development in the Kansas bas
ketball camp has been furnished
by Dean Kelley, poised, hustling
junior guard.
With Charlie Hoag and John
Keller both on the injury list
for prolonged periods, Kelley
currently has eased Coach Phog
Allen's worries over a fifth
capable starter. Although score
less in the opener against Bay
lor, he went into the S.M.U.
series at Dallas this weekend
with an 8.3 scoring average.
This was accumulated on 12
and 13 points respectively
'against Denver and Creighton.

Kelley's early pomt-maicing
burst has come as somewhat of a
surprise. But his coolness under
fire was accepted as early as last
season when he continually oper

chalance when pressed into
tough ball games.' ' ,

returned the favor with another
charity bucket.
Fresno's Fred Bartels sunk a
long one-hander to make the
score 40-24 in favor of the home
team. Viel again dunked a free
shot for the visitors, as the Cali
fornians put forth a mild threat.
Two Quick field goals by Bill
Johnson and Weber wiped out
any possible danger, however,
and with 4:30 remaining in the
third quarter Nebraska led
44-25.
Bartels then potted a field goal
for Fresno, but his effort was
matched by Jih Snyder's' quickie.
John Chalf ant of Fresno State and
Buchanan exchanged free throws
to raise the count to 47-28 in
favor of Nebraska.
Snyder then dumped in two
more points on a neider, and
Gerry Sanbulte added a free toss.
Fresno's John Klassen dropped in
a field goal just as the third quar

The fourth quarter saw Harry
Good putting his reserves into
the game as the margin between
the two clubs widened steadily.
Himer of Fresno opened the
final period scoring with a free
toss. Freshman Paul Fredstrom
drove in far a lay-up shot and two
more points for tlie red-hot Corn
huskers. Fredstrom added another
point on a gift toss, and Clark
Smaha connected in a field goal
try to make the score 54-31 with
7:20 remaining in the game.
The Huskers continued to pour
on the coal, as Smaha dumped in
a free throw. Johnson added two
season, more with a tip-in of a missed free
throw. Johnson scored again on a
hook shot from the keyhole, and
Sandbulte tallied with a gift toss
with 4:42 remaining.
Smaha poured three more
points through the nets on a
field goal and a free throw, as
the Huskers were running away
from their opponents. During the
Nebraska scoring spree the in
vaders were able to tally only
once on a free throw by Hollis
Shannon.
Shannon potted a long, looping,
one-handed shot for two more
points and the score was 65-34
with 2:40 left in the free-for-all.
Fresno's Viel rippled the cords
with a pair of one-pointers, and
Shannon and Reynolds - each
counted with a bucket.
Extrom dropped in a free shot,
making the count 66-40. Extrom

A series of upsets featured Ne

at the Physical Education build

The meet was held as a clinic
for the K-Staters, who are com

in the school's history.
Although the meet was only a
practice encounter, some of Coach
Jake Geier's starting men were
ousted from their positiBhs by

Nebraska took third place with
115 points. However, Yoder was
