All-victorious and third-ranking
Sigma Phi Epsilon deserted the
group of undefeated teams in in
tramural basketball Thursday
night as Sigma Alpha Epsilon
broke the lease and the Sig Ep
. Victory string, 36-32.
- It was the work of terrific
Don McArthnr that paved the
way to the Sig; Alph win. Mc
Arthnr tallied over half Ms
teams points in registering 19
tellies. Although McArthur per
formed magnificently, he had
help, help from his mates in the
form of successful free-throws.
The final Sig Alph victory was
made on free-throws. Both teams
hit from the floor on 12 occasions,
but it was 12 of 18 gratis shots by
the SAE's while the Sig Eps could
muster only 8 of 19.
Behind McArthur's scoring,
the SAE point-making was well
scattered with Bill Wenke con
tributing five counters.
Dave Brandon was the Sig Ep
hope as ne lea the losing attack
with 14 markers while Bi1! Ander
son followed with six. The resul
leaves league I in a tie between
the two powers.
Navy ROTC came through
with a stunning upset in their
playoff with Nebraska Co-op to
gain the post-season playoffs.
The middies toppled the fast
rising Nebraskans, 39-28.
Co-op started the game off as if
they were going to duplicate their
previous rout of Navy by skipping
to a 9-2. lead after the nrst eight
minutes. Maybe overconfidence
caught the boys or maybe Navy
was just getting ready to make its
move. At any rate, the Nebras
kans knew they were in a ball
game from that moment.
Navy narrowed the count to
5-9 at the Quarter and with all
five starters scoring, closed in
12-15 at the half. The third
stanza it was all Navy Bob Park
as the middie riddled the nets
for eight points to help the win
ners to a 24-20 margin going
into the final ten minutes of
play.
Park continued his onslaught as
Co-op fell completely apart in the
final period and Navy had its win.
Park topped all scoring with a
17 -point total followed by Co-op
Don Holmes with 14. Jim Clark
and Bert Bishop tallied six apiece
for the winners while Don Gab
riel, Bob Dostol and Dale Harned
garnered four apiece for Nebraska
Co-op.
Alpha Gamma Rho "B" won
undisputed possession of first
place in league VI by stalling
the last four minutes and edging
a pressing-band of junior Phi
Psi's, 28-27. The AGR Bees had
to come from six points behind
in the final period to topple the
Phi Psi's, but made it and their
stall worked to perfection.
The intermission scores were
fi-5 AGR, 11-10 Phi Psi and 24-19
Phi Psi which is indicative of the
type of play.
The scoring was well spread
throughout both teams. Vlnce
Kramper and Tom Leisy topped
the Aggie point-getting with
seven apiece while Dick Monson
contributed six. Phi Psi Dave
Noble led all scoring with eight
to his credit while Dave Alkire
garnered seven and Charlie
Betaelberger netted six.

Oklahoma's crackerjack track

Nebraska's cindermen 55-49 Sat

and two were tied as the Sooners

Lee Moore, Grand Island jun

Nebraska placed one-two in

Colorado State won two events.

Tom Kidd and Max Kenedy
had 12 points apiece for the
home team.
Kennedy was the only double
winner of the meet. The corn

winning total followed by Chuck

Frosh scoring attack with nine
points while Gordon Pejsar and
Bill Maxe were each getting seven.
More upsets were in the air
Thursday. Cornhusker Co-op
recorded a dilly as they
trounced tenth-ranked Theta
Chi, 31-17 and at the same time,
handing the title of league IV to
Pioneer House, ... ,
For the first half "it was any
body's contest, Theta Chi held a
slim 8-7 first quarter lead and it
was 13-13 at half time. Cornhusker
showed who was master leading
off in the third period. The Co-co
boys held the TC's to three slim
tallies while running the count to
23-16 going into the final period.
The fourth quarter was the
same story only more so. Only
one Chi counter was recorded
and Cornhusker was play
off bound. Jay Zeigler led the
Moore Se
extra steps to pass a bunched
group of competitors around the
final turn.
Don Bedker tied both of the
meet's hurdler marks. Don sped
over the high's in 07.5 to tie Bill
Smutz's mark of 1941 and also
equalled the low hurdles mark by
Smutz of 07.0 flat.
Glenn Beerline gritty Alliance

to replace Smith's mark of last

The Huskers were outscored in

No Scoring Complex
Nebraska's basketball sauad has the dubious honor of being
the team most scored upon in the conference this year. Recent sta
tistics of the MVIAA show Husker opposition flipping in an average
of 67.1 per game.
The Husker carers are sadly floundering in the depths or
the conference free-throw percentages. The scarlet roundball
specialists have connected on only .573 of their gratus tosses. Not
too favorable In comparison with Oklahoma's .705.
Rumors regarding Jim Buchanan's accepting a Job with the
Phillips 66 organization can be dumped in- the nearest ash can.
Bucky has already agreed to take a commission in our country's
glorious infantry upon graduation.

Confusion seems to be the key word in explaining just what
happened in the abolishment of

The ar school thought the football players
were disturbing the program at its educational
Institution (they'll probably plant corn on tha
practice field.) Coach Glassford held up the
white flag and the result Is Husker candidates
will be bumping shoulders in Lincoln this fall
practice.
The players don't seem to mind the idea of
moving back into civilization for practices but
there is probably some question of tutor Glass-
ford s part as to now the team
in Lincoln.
Getting Poison Out Of The Ivy?
This writer took an open stand against the Big Seven confer
ence ruling to forbid members to partake in any post season ac
tivity. The latest resulting developments of the American Council
of Education comes from the east.
The Ivy League went even farther when It set down regula
tions banning participation in the East-West and North-South
games. It also disapproved of coaching schools that would have
any connection with high school students.

Running In
The name familiar to many a
follower of yesteryear appeared on
when the Tigers displayed their
coin several weeks back.
Bob Messengale, son of George Messengale, took a third place
In the 60 yard dash against the Huskers.
The elder Messengale was a member of the 1920 U.S. Olympic
track team which competed at Antwerp. Young Bob is the only
freshman on the Mizzou track roster this year.
Quotation Of The Week
The world can learn a great lesson from one of America's great
est citizens and athletes. Bill Bangert, former Missouri shot put,
football great and fine baritone, is blind.
He is determined upon winning an Olympic track position this
year, even though he has lost total sight in both eyes.
"First of all, I need no sympathy nor do I want any. If it be
God's will that I shall be sightless, I shall do my utmost to do my
best," said Bangert.
I never knew such aeptns or despair as l teit wnen i Knew
my sight was going. The disease which struck the retina of my
eyes struck deep to my heart as well.
"But my philosophy of life is that you must never go back.
You must always go forward. With that as my guide I have leraned
to make the best of my fate."
He is fixed on winning a position of the Olympic team "not
because I am particularly eager to win any Olympic honors but
merely as an inspiration to those who may be or may "become af
flicted as I am."
My Kingdom For A Board!
Neville Price, dapper Oklahoma broad jump sensation, was not
too pleased with his showing against the Cornhusker tracksters
here Saturday.
The mustached British Empire champion leaped only 23 feet
t inches and had critical words for the "bloody" board of the
Huskers' indoor broad jump pit.
