A successful stall in the last three minutes provided the scrappy Huskers with the win. The victory, a fine team effort, snapped a seven-came Nebraska losinr streak. Jim Buchanan led the Husker scoring with 15 points but he had able assistance from Paul Fred strom, who racked up 12 while playing his best game at home. Also deserving special laurels were Charley Ott who dropped in 10 tallies, and the always mov ing Fred St ger who added 11. frank Gompert paced the Buff scorers with 14 markers, while John Amaya chalked up 12.

Gompert sandwiched in a basket between a pair of suc cessful Buchanan specialties and the score stood 13-12 Nebraska. A tip In by Seger and an other Fredstrom archer shot the Huskers into their bigrrest lead of the opening quarter. Free throws by Bob Stewart, Gom pert and Bob Lawson moved the Buff total to 15.

But let us not completely sacrifice the many beneficial attributes of the sport that many or the de-emphasirers are entirely over looking. The Big Seven officials got together and decided that they could help in this, what is practically, "junking" of the gridiron sport by placing a damper on conference teams to compete in any form of post season activity. i mmm For football teams, this means no more bowl classics; For baseball teams, there will be no more NCAA tournaments; and basketball teams belonging to this conference won't be playing in Madison Square Garden for the National invitational tourna ment and the NCAA. All Kansas State Coach Jack Gardner could offer was a bar rage of adjectives describing his disgust with the action that would not allow his Wildcat cagers to journey to New York to play in the big tournaments if they could go. Action, not words, is the battle-cry at Oklahoma where re cent reports have it that the Sooners are mighty provoked about the ruling that stands between them and playing In a New Year's day bowl classic Personally, the Sooners are not so unjust; at least not as bad as the men who are tearing down the sport with uncompromising rulings. How can anyone blame the Oklahomans or the Kansas Staters? Application of some rational thought seems to be the answer to the complex football puzzle. If the men who have the power to apply it would use it, the solution might be close at hand. COMPROMISE is the word that ad"ocaters of both schools of thought must practice. Instead of doing away with post season competition entirely, the legislatures governing the sportsland should not abolish bowls because they are too numerous. Let them abolish the "Salad Bowl," the "mist Bowl" and these little bowls that are constantly running in the red. Let conference officials retract their radical bowl ruling for the good of the conference. No other major conference has taken upon them to stick their necks out as far as the Big Seven. If other conferences find that it isn't such a satisfactory set-up, which they undoubtedly will, then the Big Seven will find them selves out In the cold year after year, tournament after tourna ment and bowl after 'bowL Georgia Tech tackle, Lamar Wheat says, "I think it's a fine honor to play in a bowl and a reward for a team that's done a good job."

Lowe scored 16 points; and Grancer dropped 13 points through the nets But the Bombers had little scoring punch behind Lowe and Grancer, a faet which proved! costly when Grancer picked up four fouls and was taken out of the game. The visiting Bombers made then free shots count, bitting 14 out of 22 attempts from the charity line. Coach Tony Sharpe's charges bit 8 out of 15 free throw attempts. Fairbury jumped to an early leady in the contest on two bas kets and a free throw by Jim Lowe plus a two-point effort by Jerry Grancer. With eight min utes remaixiing in the opening canto the score was Fairbury 7, Nubbins 0. Sam Colton started Huskers on the scoring trail with a pair of buckets, one a tip-in of a missed free throw and the other a one-hinder from the right side. Lee Dobler tipped one In and Don Muenster made good on an underbasket effort to knot the count at 8-8 with 3:15 gone in the first quarter. A long shot from back of the Durwood Hoeffer then got into the thick of things with a pair of fielders, which, added to Grancer's beautiful layup, gave the visitors an 18-15 first quar ter lead. The remaining Ne braska points in the first frame were scored by Nuenster on a free shot and Colton on a field goal. .In the secoond quarter Chuck Jensen and Gary Renzelman com bined to pace the Nubbins in scor ing and put their mates out in front at the half, 33-30.

For the invaders it was Grancer showing the way with four, and Lowe and Hoeffer fol lowing three apiece.
