longest reach f any other eager
on the squad.
During his high school days,
Fagler was a four sport letter
man, gaining recognition in bas
ketball, football, baseball and
track. While participating in his
various sports activities he not
Only played hard but gained a
name for himself throughout the
state.
Fagler admits his favorite sport
he has gained most of his fame
since his high school competition
is basketball and that is where
tion.
Willie played for Harvard High
and lettered four years as cage
player. His glory began when he
was junior. He gained all-state
recognition when he averaged
over 22.0 points a game. Willie
never quite made it to a State
tournament but the sports writ
ers throughout Nebraska tabbed
him as an outstanding offensive
sparkplug.
He showed even more promise
as a senior when he rolled up a
28.7 averaea durine his season
competition. In one of Harvard's
games, Fagler scorched the hoop
with 42 points which was more
than half of the team's complete
73-41 score and one point more
than the opposing team overall
output.
Willie's long reach made him a
top candidate for football honors
also. He played end on the grid
team and was selected on the Big
Eight Conference second team as
an end.
In track, Willie was both a
sprinter and a field man. He ran
the high and low hurdles, threw
the discus and shot and partici
pated in the high jump. He quali
fied for the state meet two years
in a row in the high jump.
Fagler earned one letter on the
diamond crew at first base.

continue his basketball playing
and he wanted a good educa

Obtain on the Husker campus.
Fagler is enrolled in Teachers
College.
Upon completion Of his service
in the armed forces, Willie hopes
to get a job coaching.
Fagler's biggest thrill was when
Nebraska upset Kansas State this
season. It was far from being
his best offensive game but he
played great defensive ball nab
bing rebounds off of both boards
His best point accumulation
came against Colorado when he
notched 27 Counters, two less than
the school record. His deadliest
shot is a one-handed jump push.
Fagler thinks that Art Bunte is

against during his college career.

Huskers next season. Nebraska

His most memorable experience
came last year when NU traveled
to Miami for two games. He
never thought he would see Flor

with Jane Powell.
During the summer Fagler will
be working on the railroad and
for the immediate future he just

will never hear anyone call him

He has a special nickname
just plain "Funny."

Intramural Sports Columnist
Wednesday'! intramural cage
action saw 13 more teams claim
ing playoff positions as for the
second straight night the compe
tition went pretty much accord
ing to the dope sheets. Coupled
with the fact that the berths nad
previously been nailed down, the
13 newiy-mied spots leave a po
sitions still open in the coming
post-season action,
League IV aettled its first and
fourth-place disputes Wednesday
as Theta Chi and Norris House
collected victories. Theta Chi dis
posed of Acacia's first-place hopes
with a 40-28 win while Norris re
ceived a gratis victory from the
Pi Kaps.
In that Theta Chi win, Fred
Longacre again led the way for
the winners by tallying 19 count
ers. Longacre, the night oerore,
had set a new individual scoring
record for this year's play when
he burned the nets for 40 points
against Tau Kappa Epsilon.
His 40-point total erased the 29-
counter mark set by Theta XI
Bill Soelberg early in the season.
It still fell short of the all-time
mark of 57 set by Jack Yelkin of
the eGologists in 1951, however.
The Chi victory left them with
en 8-2 record to close out their
regular season. Zeta Beta Tau and
Acacia are currently resting in
second with 6-3 marks, but no tie
will result here as the two teams
meet this weekend. The Fi Kaps
wound up in fourth place with a
5-5 mark.
Sigma Chi "8" captured the
first-place position in league V
Wednesday by crushing Sterna Al
pha Epsilon "B", 47-22. Larry
Gallion led the Slg Bees to their
eighth win in ten starts with a
14-point production. Jerry Trim
ble topped the losing SAE's with
nine points.
Phi Delta Theta "B" took it on
the chin from Beta Theta Pi "B"
and fell to fourth place in league
VI. the position they will occupy
in the playoffs. In losing the 24
34 decision, the Phi Belts' record
slumped to 6-5.
The Beta Bees remained Ih a
tie for second with Alpha Gamma
Rho "B" by virtue of their win.
The Aggie Bees blasted Delta Tau
Delta ."B", 56-30. to push their
record for the regular season to
7-4. A flip of the coin will de
cide the issue between the Betas
and AGR's unless these two out
fits can manage another contest
by Saturday.
Tom Weeks led the winning
Betas with ten points while Ted
Kiekhafer topped the Phi Delts
with 11. Walt Finke's 15-point
production was high for the
AGR's while Jerry Bingham led
the Delts with 14.
Beta Sigma Psi captured the
third spot in league VI I while
losing a " 41-24 affair to Farm
House 'B". With one game re
maining with the top-ranked
Delta Upsilon Bees, the Beta Sigs
own an 8-3 mark.
The Farm House win pushed
them to the top of the league VII
struggle with an 11-1 record.
Marv Paneitz led the way with 13
noints. Don Sjogren topped the
Beta Sig Bees with nine counters
Delta Upsilon can regain at tie
with the Aggies in that league by
disposing of the Beta Sigs Fri
day. League IX became the first
league to settle the issue entirely
as all four of that league's play-
rtpreeBntativea
chosen. Ag Men'a Club "A" with
an 6-2 mark captured the top
spot, followed by the Ag Para
sites, University Aggies and the
previously-decided Holdrege A
in fourth.
League X, the other Ag College
league, followed suit Wednesday
night by determining its four rep
resentative to the coming tour
neys.
A surprise occured here, how
ever, and It wasn't the AG It
Scrubs in first place ai had been
supposed. The Scrubs were ousted
from the top spot as Farm House
'C" reached their peak to win the
decision. Coupled with the A Men
"B" victory, the Scrubs dropped
into second place in the final
standings.
The Ag Men Bees climbed into
first while the Farm House vic
tory moved them into third place,
Rounding out the playoff repre
sentatives is the Ag College
YMCA in fourth.
Other Wednesday contests saw
Phi Gamma Delta "B" and Sigma
Phi Epsilon "B" winning their
frays and ending the season in a
tie for second and third In league
