t f WeJnesdoy, February 25. 1953 From The Sidelines loop Road Teams Hit MlTms High Reco THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page ,3 ! x 1 Glenn Nelson A check on the Big Seven basketball race reveals that road teams never had it so good in the conference. Records of league contests show that the visiting club has won 14 times and the home club only 16 times to date. That's nearly a .ouu average. Coach Harry Good's Cornhusker cagers are among the top road teams or the upset mad loop members. Kansas State's win at Boulder Satur day while the Huskers lost to Missouri at Colum bia reversed the road records of the two teams. Kansas State's 8-2 road list now tops the rec ords, while Nebraska's 2-2 pulls the Scarlet five even with Kansas, Colorado and Iowa State. Mis souri has a 2-3 record. Oklahoma, early leader of the conference par- LW 1 ader "olds a slim 1-3 record in road games. The .-Jf .J t- 1 Sooners lost to Iowa State, 70-59.

XNeDrasxa snenacked Colorado by 15 at Boulder. 80-65, Kansas drubbed Iowa State by 19 at Ames, 76-57. Iowa State came back with an 18-point victory over the Huskers in the Coliseum, 78-60. , Phog Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers are the best home court team to date with a 4-0 rating at Lawrence. The Jays have murdered ail opposition in their home rookery. Jack Gardner's Kansas State wildcats have also kept their home court record Inviolate with a 2-0 slate, but had a close brush there with Iowa State, 81-78. Oklahoma has a 3-2 mark at Norman and Missouri a 2-2 record at Columbia. However, three Big Seven conference teams, including Ne braska, are playing below .500 per cent on their home maples. Colorado holds a 2-3 home court record, while Colorado and Iowa State are far behind the pack with 1-4 home court marks. In the history of the 25-year-old Big Seven, road teams have never hit such favorable records. Nebraska basketballers are determined to help the Oklahoma outfit continue as the loop's worst road team. The Huskers play host to the Sooners Saturday night in the final NU home game of the season. The two teams are currently in a tie for fourth place in the Big Seven standings, and a win for either team would mean a certain escape from that hated cellar position. The Sooners will seek revenge of their 53-59 loss to the Husk ers at Norman on Feb. 16. Boulder-Bound Horseman '-. - ' v Scoring H srase CQIH By BILL MUNDELL Intramural Sports Columnist One new scoring record was set and another almost toppled in in tramural basketball Monday. In a limited schedule of six games, the underdogs all took it on the chin for the first time in this sea son of hectic upsets. The nearest thing to an upset was Presby House's 56-36 victory over the Baptist Student House in which Ray Brooks of Presby scorched the nets for 28 points. Brooks' total was one point shy of the high mark of 29 for this NU MUSCLE-MAN . Chuck Spragrne, side-horse specialist on the Husker gym squad, prepares for the AU-CoIlere meet in Boul der, Colo, this weekend.

(Daily Nebraskan photo by Del Harding.) Heavy Weekend Slated For NU Varsity Squads Cornhusker varsity sports run into a busy weekend Friday and Saturday, with the basketball, gymnastics, swimming and indoor track teams slated for action. The Scarlet cage five is getting set for an invading Oklahoma team, which will battle Nebraska for third place in the Big Seven standings. It will be the Huskers' last stand on the Coliseum maples this season. Coach Harry Good's squad then plays road bills at Iowa State March 2 and Kansas State March 10. Coach Jake Geier's cvm sauad will close a successful 1952-63 season at Boulder, Colo. Friday and Saturday at the All-College meet. Pefending champs from last year's meet, the Cornhusker team The Nebraska mermen' play host to Iowa State swimmers Sat urday afternoon in the Coliseum pool. The Big Seven dual meet will get under way at 4 p.m, Cal Bentz leads Husker swim mers in the scoring department, followed by Dick Hlidek, Lloyd Reed, Jack Greer, Gene Cotter and Jerry Desmond. Coach Web Emery's tankers enter the Big Seven conference meet on March 6 and 7 The Scarlet wrestling team will be idle in college competition this weekend, but Coach Al Partin's grapplers have a tough assignment ahead on March 6-7, when they enter the Big Seven wrestling championships at Nor man, Okla. Led by Ed Husmann, Darrell Adamson and Don Bean, the im- PHI PSI'S HAVE 11-0 MARK mi ll Biro Jmihr S)DTTQ s Uinib ate By BILL MUNDELL Intramural Sports Columnist , Only six intramural cage out fits sport unblemished marks as the basketball action rounds out its 1953 regular-reason' action. Over 40 games are still on tap this week, however, and the list could still shrink. Phi Kappa Psi, the top-rated outfit in the University, holds the top record to date, sporting an 11-0 mark. The fm rsi s nave as sured themselves the league II tile. Pioneer House, with a ,10-0 mark, leads the way in league III and has clinched at least a share of that league' crown. Four Independent outfits, led by the Lutheran Student Associa tion's 9-0 record, are also unde feated.1 The Lutherans are atop league VIII while the Ramblers (7-0) have won the league XI title and the Pansies (8-0) have clinched at least a share of the league XIII top spot. Rounding out the select list, the Sophomore Dents with an 8-0 mark are still riding herd in league XIV, but still have three contests remaining. Several leagues appear to pre sent a battle for the playoff berths, unless the final action produces more of'the common up sets. The biggest argument seems to be found in leagues V, VII, XI, XII, XIII and XIV. Siigma Alpha Epsilon "B" and Alpha Tau Omega "B" are heading towards a tie for fourth and fifth in league V, unless either can up set Sigma Chi "B" or Sigma Phi Epsilon "B" in their next outings. Three teams, Pioneer "B", Pi Kappa Phi "B" and Acacia "B", are battling for the fourth posi tion in league VII. The Pi Kaps have the inside track since their win over Acacia, but still must face Pioneer. Three teams appear to be head ing towards a tie for third, fourth and fifth in league XI. The Phal anx, Fliers and Dorm Stars ap pear certain to finish the year with 2-6 marks unless the Fliers or the Phalanx pull something out of the fire against the Rockets and Ramblers. The Stars have al ready closed out their season. The Dorm Bullets, Mustangs and Que Balls all still have a chance at the third and fourth positions in league XII. The Bul lets face the toughest road, meet ing Nebraska Co-op this week while the Mustang and Que-Balls oppose each other. Fraternity -A" Division lacua VI Phi Kappa Psi PkH Dell Tatta ..
