NELSON Good luck, prepsters let's show the fans
some top-uotch playing and sportsmanship.
Loop Race Close In 1953-54?
A glance at basketball rosters indicates that Big Seven teams
will be loaded with experienced talent next. year. This year's
squads around the loop were heavily laden with youthful players
who'll utilize their experience to present a hard-fought campaign
during the 1953-54 season.
Only nine seniors are listed on the starting lineups of the seven
conference squads. In other wdrds, of the 35 players who were
starters on their respective clubs, 26 of them about 75 per cent
will be in action next year if thev remain eligible.
Figuring each squad's strength on the basis of Its top nine men.
the graduation toll still will be extremely light. Of that 63-player
total, only 15 have senior status.
x Nebraska, along with Oklahoma and Missouri, will lose only one
of their top nine. Joe Good, veteran starting guard, graduates from
the Husker team; the Sooners lose sub center Tom Churchill: and
starter Gene Landolt of Missouri leaves via the grad route.
Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State each lose two regulars
with the Cyclones dropping a total of four players from their nine
best
Iowa State's greatest scorer in the history of the school, Del
Diercks, and playmaker Sam Long finish up, along with reserves
Clare Russie and Virg Byerly.
The Jayhawks list Dean Kelley and Gil Reich, fiery starters as
top casualties, and Dean Smith, a reserve.
All-American Dick Knostman and guard Bob Rousey are
through at K-State after the playoffs, as is Jack Carby, towering
sub.
Colorado loses vet forward Frank Gompert and Jim Armatas. a
reserve.

It was opening day for the 1953
Nebraska High Bchoi cnampion
ships Wednesday and the fur flew
in traditional manner as two "B"
and two "C" outfits enhanced
their chances in the battle for the
various titles. Chappell and Syra
cuse made the big step in class C
while Gering and Fullerton cop
ped their initial starts in class B.
Chappell Pressed
In perhaps the top game
Wednesday afternoon, top-seeded
Chappell earned a narrow 48-46
decision over previously unde
feated Brainard. To win, however,
the westerners had to beat off a
furious fourth-quarter rally and
rely on their accuracy at the free
throw line.
Leading as much as 15 points at
one time, the victors carried a
25-15 lead into the intermission
only to see Brainard force their
way back in the closing moments
to knot the count at 44-44. The
victory rested directly on the
shoulders of Roger Zehr as he
stood at the free-throw line with
17 seconds remaining. He - made
them both count and the Indians
were In the second round.
Zehr topped the winners with
17 points as a 22-14 advantage at
the charity line boosted Chappell
into the victory. Virgil vrbka led
the way for the losers with 11
counters.
Syracuse Wins, 50-44
In the other class C contest,
Syracuse disposed of another pre
vious undefeated team in Frank-
the-basket work when it counted,
to win, 50-44.
Here too, the winners had to
withstand a late rally to earn the
verdict. Trailing 29-42 entering
the final canto, Franklin slowly
crept to within four points but
couldn't apply the final pressure.

Alpha Gamma Rho "B," the Cin
derella team of the fraternity "B"
playoff " tournament, became the
first 1953 Intramural basketball
champion Tuesday night as they
outfought and outscored defend
ing champion Sigma Chi "B."

43-21 and Farmhouse, 56-38. They
were expected to do it again Tues
day night, but the AGR's had
other plans.
The losers started out fast. After
seeing Aggie Tom Leisy dunk a
charity toss, they counted on suc
cessive baskets by Paul JSly and
John Gray. Gray sunk a free
throw just before Dick Monson
hit the first bucket for the cham
pions from under the basket and
the tally stood at 5-3, Sigma Chi.

Wayne Frost leading the scoring, time they ever looked at the score
parade and Dick Monson controll

Sigs, the Aggies climbed to a 14

were behind.
It was culmination of a long
toumey road for the new cham-
board to see how far ahead they
were.
Walt Finke connected on a
jump shot and Monson followed
with his second bucket, a hook
shot, and then dropped in a free
throw after Ed Zabel had done
another to narrow the final mar
gin. It was a bad week all around
for Sigma Chi. Their "A" team
