Sports Staff Writer HO all; -cut the Cornhuskers, victory with all hands coming
The University, of Nebraska- ungry Ior inat vlcrorv taste, re-through with the chips down.
cornnuskers opened up their Big
oeven comerence activity with a
63-61 squeeze past the Colorado
Buffalos Saturday night at the
coliseum.
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. Am
aya also turned in an excellent
floor game before fouling out in
the closing minutes.
Buchanan opened the scoring:
with a free toss bnt Bruce Con
way, and Omaha Creig-hton Prep
trad, pnt Colorado ahead see- j
ouAh later with a drive In. Fred
strom hit for NXJ before- Ken
Koop notched a one pointer and
Art Bnnte hooked in a fielder
for Colorado. Buchanan tied it
at six all with a gratis toss and
a slick one banded jump shot
Amaya put the Rocky Mountain
boys out front with a basket and
Gompert drove through for his
first bucket of the evening.- Fred
strom cashed a free toss and then
dropped in a two pointer for the
Huskers. 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. For Nebraska
Serer collected three points and
Fredstrom scored on a follow in
at the quarter ended.
Buchanan, Fredstrom and Seger
combined for all the 24 points
chalked up by the Huskers'in the
first canto.
Colorado outscored the Huskers
in the second quarter as they
racked up 14 points to the young
Nebraska crew's eight. Tom Har
rold, Gompert, Amaya, Ken
Munns and Stewart tallied for the
Colorado quintet
With 5:48 remaining: in the
second quarter the Huskers held 1
a 32 to 20 advantage. Then a
deep freeze hit the Nebraska :
scoring: machine and Harry 1
Good's boys were hanrhif on
with a 32-29 margin as the
half ended.
Baskets by Fredstrom, Seger
and Ott and r pair of gift tosses
by Seger prevented a complete
collapse offensively.
The second half was a ding
dong affair reminiscent of Big!

In Fairbury ueteat
By MARSHALL KUSHNES
Assistant Sports Editor
The advent of the New Year could not dim the resounding
shouts of protests leveled against the current avalanche of action
taken against the over-emphasis of college footbalL
Granted, football might be getting a little out of hand. 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."

All men wishing to go out
for spring football practice are
urged to contact coach Bill
Glassford before Feb. 20.
This does not pertain only to
those members of the fall
squad, Glassford announced.
Scoring points as easily as he
would pluck grapes off a six-foot
trellis, Clyde Lovellette has ex
ploded the swiftest start of his
prolific career.

About the only other standards

But the Bombers had little

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

free throw attempts.
Fairbury jumped to an early

Jerry Grancer. With eight min

canto the score was Fairbury 7,

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

were scored by Nuenster on a
free shot and Colton on a field
goal.
