Cyclones,

75-
By RON' GIBSON
Sport Staff Writer
Nebraska's usually hapless eag
er! chose Monday night to kick
over the traces and upset a fa
vored Iowa State team by a 75-53
count.
Coach Harry Good's Corn
buskers took advantage of the
Cyclones' frlgldness by controll
er the boards and kept them
selves well out of the reach of
the visitors.
Jim Buchanan was the number
one shotmaker for the Huskers.
"Bucky" tossed 18 points through
the nets to come even closer to
Bob Pierce's all-time Nebraska
scoring mark for a single season.
Buchanan is now only 20 points
behind Pierce's record.
Delmar "Shlrttail" Diercks led
the Cyclones with 12 points. The
usually reliable Jim Stange
could muster only six . for the
victors before fouling out late In
the third quarter.
The Huskers, who had been
ity line and fliDDed in a two
pointer from under the nets, but
the Huskers managed an 11 -point
halftime margin despite the lofty
lowan s enort.
Nebraska's second-period
.splurge was only a prelude to
a wua third quarter that put the
home club decisively out In
front.
Six Cornhuskers combined to
score 18 points in the third canto
while holding the visitors to six
points.
Freshmen Willard Fagler,
Stan Matske and Paul Fred
strom led the way with 13 points
among themselves.
Iowa State outscored the Husk.
ers 16-15 in the last quarter, as
Coach Good swept the bench.
Buchanan stayed in to collect five
more points and lead his mates
in clinching the win.
It was Nebraska's third win
against seven defeats In con
ference play.
And it was a revenge win,
for the Cyclones had dropped
beaten twice previously by Iowa j tn8 Hugkerp twice previously,
State, never trailed Coach Chick
Sutherland's quintet. The score
was tied only once, at 9-9 midway
in the first period.
It was the shooting of pivot
man Bill Johnson that got the
home team started. Johnson got
seven points in the initial pe
riod on two under-basket ef
forts, a nifty hook shot and a
free throw.
Buchanan added three field
ers to the Cornhuskers' first-
period total.

Kansas Indoor Winner
At the nresent moment. Nebraskan sports staff writers are busy
doping out who will win the 1952 Big Seven indoor track meet.
From all indications, the Kansas Jayhawks look to be a solid bet.
But don't count your chickens! The form chart for the meet
will come out Thursday, so the coaches can relax during the meet
since they'll know how they'd come out Thursday.
Knix Jones, last year's tabulator on the conference cinder carni
val, selected Ed Weir's trackmen to upset Missouri in the Kansas City
affair. Sure 'nuf, the scarlet team brought back the bacon. So, don't
look that big chart over too lightly.
Ed Weir's Husker track teams have won ten out of a possible
25 indoor and outdoor conference championships since 1939 when
Weir took over the helms. Do I hear 26?
Old Huskers Never Diel
Put a big red circle around April 5. That's the date of the gigantic
All-Sports Day. And what a day it should be!
Heading the festivities again this year will be that football
fiasco between the Nebraska alumni and varsity football teams.
It should be a sight to see Coach Tom Novak's marauders last 60
strenuous minutes against the varsity crew. Since Nagle's married,
the team will have to use the T-formation. (They were going to use
the "single" wing.) Lawyer Mueller will be stiff-arming his clients
ana letting tne defense rest when he gets too tired.
Attention All Chancellors!
Bill Callahan fMissouri nublicity chief) sends along a little
scholastic report from Columbia.
Trackster Mylon Buck and footballer Bill Schoonmaker led the
way in the scholastie field for Don Faurot's Saturday heroes. Buck
scored a 8.82 and Schoonmaker a 2.67. Missouri grades on a scale
