The Huskers will be awarded their best
chance to beat the Jay hawks since their last
win over KU, when a slim 57-56 upset shocked
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's club in the first meet

But the Jay hawks have come a long way

ranked team.
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

BIG OBSTACLE FOR HUSKERS . . . B. H. Born, Kansas' 6-9
center, will present a problem to NU's defensive plans Monday
night at the Coliseum. Born, who played under All-America
center Clyde Lovellette last year, carries much of the Hawks' of
fensive strength. He starred against Oklahoma A & M last week
when Kansas upset the fifth ranking team in the nation.
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,

in the nation with 903 points in

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

by Paul Arizin of Villanova in
1949.
In amassing his 116 points,
Francis hit 47 field goals and 22
free throws.

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-

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

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.
