Ten down and 37 to go. That
was the way the intramural bas
ketball ' playoffs stood after
Wednesday, the first night of play
with the dope sheet running pretty
well to form.
The nearest thing to an up
set, in an evening that saw six
independent and four fraternity
"B" contests staged, was the
Navy ROTC victory over the
Lillies. The Navy upended the
Limes? 33-25, to advance to the
second round of play.
The Lillies held the command
throughout the first two and a
half quarters, but blew up when
the Navy surge began. It was 9-7
Lillies at the quarter and 19-14
at the half. The middies began to
roll in the final minutes of the
third period and going into the
iinal ten minutes they led, 23-22
The last stanza was all Navy
and the Lillies were through
with the cage sport for another
year.
The Navy scoring was well
distributed with Bob Parks tak
ing top honors with eight and
Bert Bishop with six. Claire
Johnson topped the Lilly attack
with eight counters followed by
CiarK Eetcke with six.
League XII, however, gained
prestige elsewhere. The Bear
cats trampled the Ag Men's
Club while the Pluggers were
losing a close one to M-Street,
the top ranking independent
team.
It was all Bearcat in that con
test. The Cats jumped to a 14-6
quarter lead and maintained it at
halftime, 4-17. The third quarter
erased any false hopes of the Ag
gies as the Cats roared to a 39-22
margin and breezed to the win,
50-35.
For the Cats it was Ray Svehla
with 19 points and D. McPherson
and Verl Claussen with 15 and
11. Derks topped the Aggies with
ten.
The Pluggers came up with a
surprise in falling to the
vaunted M-Street attack by
only three points In a 30-27
contest. The Pluggers were the
third-place team of league XII.
M-street was the victim of a
stalling game that cut a nice slice
out of a possible high-scoring
contest. The Pluggers jumped to
a 2-0 lead and started the stall.
M-Street's efforts to break it
failed and the Pluggers upped
the score to 4-0. That was the
last time they were ahead.
With six minutes gone the
contest, M-Street came tl. ugh
with their first basket and then
ran the tally to 14-4 while the
Pluggers were throwing the
ball away and missing free
throw after free throw.
Late in the Becond period the
Fluggers began to move again
and narrowed the gap to 12-19 at
the intermission. The M-Streeters
regained their poise and sped to a
29-21 third period margin on the
firing of Bill Thayer and Stu
Thorell.
The Fluggers made their final
bid in the last stanza and it was
M-Street's turn to stall. Six
, points on the shooting of Low
ell Hoyt and Ron Powers was
all the Pluggers could muster

College Invitational meet. This year's team con slsts of (back row from left to right) Paul Hughes,

Charles Sprague, Don Hodge, Bob Yarwood, De Wayne Bchrens and Tom Kldd.
To Cdomio For A
Nebraska's gymnastic squad is
busy preparing themselves for
their "big meet" of the year this
Saturday when they travel to
Greeley, Colo., for the All Col
lege Invitational meet.
Among the teams competing
for honors are Denver univer
sity, Montana, Colorado, Colo
rado State and Colorado A. &
M. The Huskers have met two
of these teams already this
year.
The Scarlet dropped both Colo
rado university and Colorado A. &
M. "But," chimes in Nebraska
couch Jike Geier, "those Colorado
teams are always tough in Colo-,
and M-Street had squeaked
through.
The scoring was well distrib
uted on b:th outfits with Delbert
Gould and Don Bitterman of the
losers getting toD honors with
seven while Hoyt of the Pluggers
and Dan Brown of M-Street each
tallied six.
The Pill Rollers eliminated
the second Ag team in their
contest by dropping the Red
Guidons, 32-20. The Pills took
over in the second period after
the Guidons had soared to a
10-6 lead, and were never
headed again. It was 20-15 at
the half and 24-20 at the three
quarter mark.
Roller Jack Dannelson and
ttuidon Ken Le Grand took top
scoring honors with 12 and 11
counters, respectively. Hank Dei
nes contributed another eight
points to the winning tally.
The Doan Nuts saved face
for the Ag College, however,
by tripping Presby House,
33-24. Presby led only once,
2-0 at the start of the game, but
managed to keep it close until
the final four minutes.
Doan Nut Dennis Korinek and
Presby Norm Sothan shared scor
ing honors with 13 points apiece,
Charles Eberspacher notched
eight for the winners while Larry
Schmidt garnered five for Presby.
The Dorm A Comets held the
Delta Sigma Pi scoring machine
to practically nothing in the
first half and rped on to win,
30-22. Only baskets by Cecil
Voils and Bob Jensen were en
tered in the books for the Delta
Pi's In the first half and al
though they made a spirited try
in the third period, the contest
was too far gone.
Voils topped the scoring with
ten points with Rollie Haas of the
losers getting six hird-period
counters. Dick Welsh led the
Comets with eight followed by
Bob Boesiger with seven.
Only one fraternity "B" con
test resulted in a close score.
Farm House led narrowly all
the way to edge Phi Delta
Theta, 20-18. ' he intermission
scores were recorded as 8-5,
15-12 and 18-16 all in favor of
the Aggies.
Paul Gustafson of the losing
Phi Delts topped tne scoring with
seven pointers while Ray Vlassin
garnered six for the winners.
Injuries May
Injuries are playing havoc with
isig beven indoor track hopes and
might well cause the Kansas Jay
hawks to run away with the Kan
sas City festival this year.
From Nebraska comes word
that freshman sprinter, Bobby
Fairchild will definitely be out
of competition in the loop meet.
Hoppy McCue also came up
with a pulled muscle and will
not compete for broad jump
honors.
Something that could develop to
brighten Cornhusker hopes is the
fact that Dan Tolman may be in
shape to give his pet hurdle events
a try. Tolman has been out for
over a month with a lame leg.
Missouri's track team may be
without the services of their
flashy hurdler, Bill Fessler.
Fessler received a pulled muscle
during the Iowa State-Missouri
dual meet.
Expecting to score best in the
440, 880, broad jump and high
jump, Oklahoma expects a hard
battle for second place in the 24th
annual conference indoor track
.
and field meet.
The Sooners Jerry Meader,
league indoor 440 champ the
past two years, may not go to
the post because of a crippled
knee which pains him terrifi
cally when he runs banked
curves, and in the 440 race there
will be six sharply-banked
curves on the speedy 147-yard
spruce track in the Kansas City
Municipal auditorium.
Meader warmed up but be
cause of increasing pain did not

This is the big meet for the
Huskers, who have yet to win
the meet. "Last year, the Hus
ker gymnasts took runner-up
honors to Colorado.
"This is our 'go for broke'
meet." said Geier. "Even though
we beat those two teams in Lin
coln is no sign they are not going
to be plenty tough there.
Concerning the Huskers'
chances of winning the meet, all
Geier said Is, "we've got just
as good a chance as any team
entered In the meet."

trouble. Dale Bunsen topped
the Beta Sigs with nine and
Walt Flicker tallied seven. Al

Sigs and Chuck Marshall
whipped in seven.
Only non-playoff game of the
day was Beta Theta Pi's winning
over Alpha Gamma Rho to decide
the fourth place team in league
II. The Betas won, 44-32, on the
16-point effort of Tom Hairing'

Don Novotny tallied 12 for the
losers while Bob Howey and Tom
Healey each contributed seven to
the winning total.
Running?
. Oklahoma's outstanding quartermiler,
Drake Relays, is down with in
fluenza. Coach John Jacobs of the Soon
ers picks Kansas to win "by 20
points." "They've got It," he says.
"They'll two-time everybody to
death in the distances and no
body's good enough to crowd 'em
in the first race to keep 'em from
doubling in the second."
The Sooner coach says Thane
Baker of Kansas State can win
the 60 and 440 "without taking
off his sweat shirt" and pre
dicted Oklahoma would be in
a rough team battle for second
that might see her crowded
down as low as seventh.
Oklahoma will have several
threats even if Meader and Mc
Cormick can't go at full speed.
Dick Jones, defending high jump
champ, will be back to do his
stuff. Neville Price, British Em
pire broad jump champ, and
Quanah Cox, who finished one
two at Michigan State, should
score well.
Cox, J. W. Mashburn and
Charles Coleman in the 440 and
Don Crabtree, McCormick and
Jim Wilkinson in the 880 are
all formidable although Mash
burn and Coleman are big
stranning fellows who may find
it difficult to stay on the tiny
wooden saucer at Kansas City.
Coach Ed Weir will attempt to
repain the conference crown with
a 22 man squad. Huskers making

Iowa State takes on its second
road trip of the week Friday to
face rugged Missouri at Columbia.
The two teams have split so
far this year. Missouri scored a
49-42 win in the Big Seven
tournament while Iowa State
took a 57-55 win in the con
ference opener here, Jan. 5.
A pair or record -scoring cagers

ter for the Tigers, has counted
331 points to become the all-time
