Is Rocky Marciano foing td be another Joe Louis?
This is a question that has been running through the minds of
many ardent boxing fans in the last few months. Louis's career
was marked with many spectacular bouts but just before his dis
astrous end it seemed that there was no boxer capable to step into
the same ring with him.
Now the same question arises with Rocky Marciano. Is there a
boxer who is capi ble of taking on the champion?
Roland LaStarza is the man next in line to fight for the heavy
weight crown after the Apm fight between Joe walcott and Mar
ciano, There is no doubt that Jersey Joe will be a sentimental
favorite but the general concensus in the boxing circle is that Wal
cott won't last the full fifteen rounds. Joe has seen his best days
as a boxer. If the Jersey slugger loses this one. he should definitely
forget the boxing game and maintain the memory of his better
fights.
LaStarza gained a split decision in his last outing against Rex
Layne. It was one of the best slugfests that the TV public has been
exposed to in many months. It was evident to everyone watching
that Roland is not the best boxer in the world.
Layne failed to capitalize on LaStarza's mistakes. Rex . was
going for a knockout all the way and forgot that Roland' was ven
erable to body punches. -
This is one factor that Marciano does not overlook. In his laot
title defense, he battered Walcott with body blows before finally
nailing him in the 12th round.
The boxing world is waiting for some "youngster to make his
Way Into the future to give Rocky some form of tougher competition.
Runner-Up??
The Cornhusker basketball team is far from being out of the
Big Seven race for runner-up honors.
This week-end the Huskers go down to Missouri where they
Take on the Tigers in an attempt to create their tie for second place
and advance in the standings.
Nebraska has three more contests after the MU encounter this
Saturday against Oklahoma, Iowa State and Kansas State. In their
previous meetings, the Huskers have gained victories against the
Booners, K-State ana Missouri, while dropping a decision to Iowa
State.
It's quite a task to ask the Goodmen to duplicate that record
of three wins in four games, especially when three of the four are
on foreign courts, but it can be done!
Willard Fagler has been pouring in the points in the Huskers'
last two games. He netted 27 against Colorado and 18 more against
Oklahoma. The defense has been good throughout the season so
there is not too much to worry about in that department.
If the rest of the team can find the offensive range, the Corn
huskers could win all four of their remaining four games.

Intramural Sports Columnist
The eyebrows rose a notch
higher Tuesday as a limited intra
mural basketball schedule pro
duced another pair of surprises to
the already upset-happy season.
Alpha Tau Omega and Phi
Gamma Delta of league I swung
the up-enders Tuesday.
The Taus came up with tne
biggest plum of the evening,
downing heavily favored Sigma
Chi by a convincing 51-38 margin.
The Sigs entered the fray as the
University's fifth-ranked outfit
and a 30-25 early-season victory
over the ATO's, but were no
match once the Taus warmed up.
A slow first stanza produced an
8-6 ATO lead, with Hobe Jones
getting six of the Tau counters.
Six pointers went to Dale Mickel-
son in the second canto as the
winners showed their heels to the
Sigs and fashioned a 21-12 bulge.
The third period was much the
same and Jones took over the
scoring reins again as the Taus
jumped to a comfortable 39-24
lead. The losers narrowed the gap
slightly in the final canto against
the ATO subs, but the victory was
already sewed up.
The win boosted the Taus' mark
to 5-3 while cutting the Sigs' rec
ord to 7-2. Brothers Hobe and
Dave Jones led the scoring pace
lor the winners with 17 and 10
points, respectively. Ben Leonard
ol the Sigs topped all scorers with
a 20-polnt effort, 14 coming in
the last half.

"Saturday's indoor meet with
Oklahoma should be a close affair
due to the absence of J. W. Mash'
burn and Ronnie Reed, two of
Oklahoma's top performer's."
Those were the words Coach Ed
Weir used to summarize his team's
chances against Coach John Ja
cobs invading Sooners.
Mashburn, Oklahoma's ace
quarter-miler, and Reed, a con
sisten point-getter in the 880, are
both ineligible because of scholas
tic difficulties. Outside of that
little is known about the all
around strength of the Norman
crew.
One thing is definite, however.
Quannah Cox, a gent who picked
up points in the dashes and broad
jump in last year's conference in
door meet, will be back along with
Neville Price, another broad
jumper with exceptional ability.
Other Oklahomans who should
cause the Huskers plenty of trou
ble are Warren Rouse and Bruce
Drummond, two capable two-mil-ers,
and Ronnie Dobson, an excel
lent hurdler. Rouse is the Nebraska-Oklahoma
dual meet record-holder
for the two-mile while
Drumond scored in the same event
in last year's Big Seven affair.
Brien Hendrickson is the only
real cause for worry in the Ne
braska camp. The Lincoln sopho
more might miss his specialty, the
440, because of an injured ankle.
Paul Grimm, the Blair strong-boy
is recovering rapidly from a
pulled-muscle and should be in
tip-top form by Saturday.
Going into Saturday's encounter
with the Sooners, Nebraska has a
1-2 record. The Scarlet topped

The Phi Gams thumped Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, the defending All
U champion. 54-37 for the fourth
straight win after dropping their
nrst lour contests of the year. The
win greatly aided the Fijls play
off hopes nd gained revenge for
an early-season 56-43 licking at
tne nands of the SAE's.
The winners were in command
throughout Jumping to an 8-3
lead early in the fray, they in
creased it to 23-12 at halftime and
coasted to the win.
Pat Lanee of the losine Sie
Aipns took top scoring honors of
tne iray with 14 while the win
ning scorers divided the counters
more or less evenly among six
men. Tom Tobin led the way with
13 'vhile Murl Maupin and Jack
Sl ull each added an additional 10.
The undefeated Dental Sopho
mores remained on the scoring
rampage in chalking up win num-
Der eight by blasting ASCE. 55-18
The victory kept the leaeue XIV
ieaa saieiy in their hands, out of
reach of the on-rushing Navy
ROTC which also won Tuesday.
It was no contest from the be
ginning as the Dents piled up a
12-2 first-quarter bulee and in
creased it to 27-7 at the halftime
intermission.
Scoring was pretty-well distrib
uted for the winners with Don
Downs netting the most with 13.
Bill Greer added 12 while Tom
James garnered 11 more. Bob
Maclay and Bale led the losing
Engineers with six apiece.
Javy kutu upped their season
mark to 8-1 bv stairine n
half splurge against AIEE. The
Middies won, 42-31 after holding
slim leads of 10-8 and 16-12 at the
first two rest periods.
as usual, it was Jim Clark and
Verone Gibb who led the way for
the Gobs. Clark netted 12 while
Gibb was only a point in arrears.
Bob Brittin topped the Engineers
wnn nine counters.
Delta Tau Delta kept its playoff
hopes alive with a league I vic
tory over Sigma Nu, 38-21. It was
the second Delt win in eicht
games and kept them mathemat
ically m the running while almost
virtually closing the door on any
hopes entertained by the Nu's.
A miserable first ctuarter set the
Nu's back on their heels and they
never recovered. The Delts leaped
to an 8-1 first-stanza lead and
were never headed.
Andy Hove of the winners led
the scoring pace with 18 counters
while teammate Jim Haney con
tributed 12 more. Howard Graves
led the losers with 11 markers.
Top-ranked All-U cage team,
Phi Kappa Psi, fought off an upset-hungry
Beta Theta Pi outfit
Tuesday to take their ninth
straight win, 57-47. For three
periods the two outfits exchanged
goals with neither team gaining
more than a four-point advantage.
The leaders held slim margins at
the three rest periods, 12-11, 27-25
and 41-39.
The Betas couldn't continue the
pace, however, as the Phi Psi at

stanza.

with a 7-2 .record. The next fiv
