An appeal to University students seems unnecessary for a game such as the Kansas-Nebraska fray Monday, but we'd like to see more team support from the student body at home games The attendance so fsr this season has been poor, probably due to the ract that the first few home games weft considered '"breathers" by most Husker followers, and partly because of Nebraskas low stand ings in the win-loss column last season'. But the Huskers this year are destined for a much higher position In the rankings than their cellar-dweller spot landed in 1951-52. If Good's hustling team can beat the strong Jayhawkers Monday, they will be well on their way to a first division place on the Big Seven ladder. With three men scoring well over 100 points this early in the season, and a well-balanced lineup producing several players each game who score over 10 points, the Husker team looks like a siiiv oei iu Klye any "i us upupiiems a rougn game.

Rio Grande Cager Hits 116 Points As Team Wins, 150-85 A 20-year-old Rio Grande (Ohio) freshman shattered college individual scoring records this week-end when he scored 116 points in a single game against Ashland College of Kentucky. Clarence (B e v o) Francis, who is the leading cage scorer in the nation with 903 points in A sdtevers. Pelt Dim e Wins 18 games, has averaged better than 50 points per contest for the undefeated Rio Grande squad. The Ohio team won the game 150-85 to set another national record. The previous high for small col lege players was 87 by Jack Dun can of Rio Grande in 1941. The single-game high for a major col lege player was the 85 turned in by Paul Arizin of Villanova in 1949. In amassing his 116 points, Francis hit 47 field goals and 22 free throws. By BILL MUNDELL Intramural Sports Columnist The intramural basketball leagues continued to even them selves up Thursday and Friday as four teams won their first games of the year. The first victories of the Cadavers, Delta Sigma Pi, Vocational Ag and Alpha Gamma Rho cut the list of still winless teams to 15. The Cadavers captured their first win in four outings by surprising heavily favored M Street Boys, 40-39. The loss dropped the M-Streeters' record to 2-2. It was a close contest all. the way and the final score was an indication of the game at any point. Dave Lynch of the winners and Roger Rankin of the losers shared scoring honors with 14 points apiece. AGR's Squeeze Alpha Gamma Rho stayed right with favored Kappa Sigma throughout their Thursday meet ing and then notched an extra point in last moments to take a 30-29 decision". It was the first win in five starts for the Aggies and evened the Kappa Sig mark at 2-2. The score was knotted 3-3 and 23-23 at the end of the first and third stanzas, the Kappa Sigs owned the halftime bulge, 13-11. The losers' inability to hit fielders in the fourth period cost them the game. Only Bob Wagner's one goal was regis tered for the Kappa Sigs in that frame. Don Novotney led the winners and all scorers with 11 tames. Al Olsen topped the losers with nine. Bob Hanson of the AGR's and Wagners of the K-Sigs each potted eight. Delta Sigma Pi Wins Delta Sigma Pi held the upper hand at every turn in stopping ASCE, 23-16 to ring-up their first win in three outings. It was the lourth straight deefat for the En gineers. The losers made their only Serious bid in the sceond canto when they narrowed the gap to two points, but couldn't keep the steam up. Dale Newman tonnpd the Delta Pi efforts with ten counters while Dale Flood topped the losing En cineers with seven. Vocational Ag obtained their first win of the year via the for fiet route. The Jokers handed the Voc Ag men the free win. Other games during the two days saw the University YMCA keeping Presby House in the league VIII cellar with a 29-21 victory. The win evened their mark at 2-2 while dropping the Presby record to 0-4. The Y'ers lumped to a 12-1 first quarter bulge and increased it to 19-7 at halftime before the Presbys found themselves. Al though narrowing the final tally to eight points, they were too far behind to pull it out of the fire. Russ Snyder topped the winners with ten points while Mel Brydl lea presby with five points. Dorm B Rebounds The Dorm B Bullets spotted the Q-Balls a first period ten-point margin and then roared into the lead in the fourth stanza to win a 36-33 affair. The losers appeared to have the upper hand after the initial frame, leading 16-6. but be gan the long sup downward from that point on. The Bullets nar rowed the gap to 19-11 at half time and 29-23 at the three-quar ters mark before taking the lead for the first time with three min utes to play. Bob Boesiger led the way for the winners with 21 points, 17 coming in the last half. Dick Doerlng topped the Q-Balls with ten counters. Pioneer House won its fourth straight game of the year, out lasting Cornhusker Co-op 28-24. It was the second Co-op defeat in four games. The losers kept pace throughout the fray, but could never quite take the lead for keeps. Corn husker Harry Wray led all scor ers with 12 points while Jim Tangdall with nine and Wes Beery with eight topped the Pi- Paced by the high-scoring ef forts 6-foot, 9-inch B. H. Born, the University rf Kansas cagers in vade the Nebraska coliseum to night in defense of their Big Seven Conference crown. I Fresh from an upset win over Oklahoma A&M, 65-53, who are currently ranked 5th in the na tion by the Associated Press, the Jayhawks boast one of the most hustling ball clubs in the Big Seven. However, the Oklahoma Soon- ers demonstrated last week that the Kansans could be beat, when they dumped the Jayhawks in the initial Big Seven contest. "If we can solve their five man press and their attempt at double-teaming the guards who are bringing the ball into front court, without making too many mistakes, they can be beaten," says Nebraska Coach Harry Good. However in upsetting the Okla homa Aggies, Phog Allen's qum tet did not use the press. Kansas, lacking the height and individual stars of last year, de pends On a "crowding, pressing, scrambling game, frustrating their opponents," says Good. Facing this type of play by the Jayhawks at Kansas City in the Big Seven Tournament, the Huskers forced the Jayhawks all the way before losing, 73-65. Nebraska bounced back from their mediocre showing m the tournament to swamp Harvard University 92-53 on the Coliseum maples and then grab their Big Seven opener at Boulder, against Colorado. 80-65. The Buffs were another team that tripped the Scarlet at Kansas City. Coach Good stated that the Huskers were in the right frame of mind when they beat Colorado and were more relaxed than at Kansas City. He pointed out that I ' y,J 'IS ' 1 i ' " yy 1 l(r KANSAS STRATEGIST ... Dr. hawk cagers meet the Huskers F. C. "Phog" Allen, whose Jay tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Coli seum, last year guided his fin est club of a glittery line to the NCAA championship and the Olympic games. By winning the Big Seven championship last year, the wise 67-year-old coach chalked up his 29th title in 42 years of coaching. only eight men saw service in the game because of the full-court press put on by the Buffs in the closing minutes of the game. Jerry Sandbulte, crackerjack sophomore, got his 26 points top for Nebraska in the game in 22 minutes. He went in for Joe Good for the last 14 min utes of the first half, and the last eight minutes of the game. Fred Seger, who set up several of Sandbulta's shots and whose own shots were working to per fection, went the distance at the other guard post. The guard trio, which may be about as good as the Big Seven possesses, ranks first, third, and fourth in Husker individual scor ing now. Seger's 131 points in nine games paces team scoring; Cen ter Bill Johnson is second with 123; Good third with 117. Sand bulte, with 65, is just ahead of Weber with 63 and Fagler with 60. Gary Renzelman. the big Scotts- bluff sophomore pivot, saw action at both center and forward In the Buff contest. Good has been using him at the latter positions against double post offensives such as Colorado used.

Home court advantage and a 67-53 win over Nebraska a week earlier went by the boards in that one. So. as was the case in the Kan sas City meet, the Buffs must get a win over Oklahoma to regain solid footing. Despite an 0-3 mark in the tour ney, Coach Bruce Drake's Soon ers have served ample notice they'll be touch to handle at Nor man. The Oklnhomans jolted Kansas' defending champs 76-611 there Monday night. And they own a 63-62 win over Iowa, of the Big Ten, at Norman.
