Senior Bill Johnson, Nebras

get going against the men from

age only a lone field goal along
with five successful free throws.
His rebounding was far from
satisfactory and he made sev
eral mental errors to go along
with the glaring fact that not
once did he connect success
fully with his favorite hook

looked the best of the three,

limited duty.

Nebraska's Cornhusker basket
ball squad went through a Mon
day night practice with perhaps
one thought in mind, how to get
more scoring punch from their
center spot.
In Saturday's 75-64 loss tr the

Tabbed As
Top Pugilist
Can't Miss, Says
Old Pro Adduci
By NICK ADDUCI
Guest Columnist
Many times in the past weeks
I have been asked by curious
athletes what is all the mystery
about my secret workouts in the
Coliseum.
Well now it
can be told,
for I am writ
ing this col
umn as man
ager of one
Andrew
Loehr, who in
my opinion is
d e s t ined to
become one or
the truly fine f
hnxprs Darti- fcxmw
C i p a ting in Courtesy Lincoln Journal
the Golden Nick Adduci
Gloves.
ANDY LOEHR. 19 year old
nthlpto from Turtle Creek. Pa..
whn all Nebraska football fans
know as a fine all-around end,
rinpsn't restrict his athletic aDU-
ity to the gridiron. He is one of
iho finest boxine rirospects I
have seen in five years, and I
have seen quite a lew in me
last five vears.
Andy is a rangy miaaieweigm.
and is a boxer puncher. He hits
hard with either hand and can
absorb a terrific amount of pun
ishment.
a
LOEHR CAN move to the left
nr ripht with eaual erace. Per
haps Andy's outstanding quality
is that he can hit witn iuu iorce
while moving.
Andy is
strictly from
the "orthodox
school," or in
other words,
he is one of
those standup
picture - b ook
fighters.
Loehr can
be tabbed as a
counter-
puncher, but J
with a flash Courtesy Llnclon Star
can be on the Andy Loehr
offense pounding his helpless foe
TAKE IT from me. Andv is
the Jake LaMotta type of fighter
who can slug it out for three
minntps in everv round and still
be full of fight for the next
round.
My only trouble right now is
irttinpAndv down to his fight

hi weight down, move over
Bo bo Olson, or at least all of you
Golden Glovers who have ambi
tions for that Nebraska middle
weight crown
as is afforded by the Big Ten
conference a consistent scoring
center is a must.
The Cornhuskers came up with
a couple of fine-playing guards
in Fred Seger who tallied 24
points and Sophomore Chuck
Smith, but capable reserves
seem to be at a premium.
Except for Fred Seger, the
Huskers were outclassed, outre
bounded and outscored by the
visiting Golden Gophers.
THE RUGGED Minnesota club,
led under the boards by Ed Kala
fat controlled the rebounding
phase of the game whenever the
Huskers moved within striking
range;
Elsewhere around the Big
Seven conference, Illinois
smothered Oklahoma, 86-61, and
Iowa State breezed by Grinoell,
76-62.

KANSAS STATE made its
debut under Tex Winter by wal

Wildcats will have their hands
full this weekend when they
travel to Bloomington for a tussle
with the NCAA champion In
diana. Saturday the Wildcats return
home for a game with the
Wwoming Cowboys.
Weil-Known Reindeer Tells All
NORTH POLE, ARCTIC. Looking very dapper for
an 18-point buck with chalb.'d muzzle and matching
white tail assembly, Dasher, famous front-running
reindeer for the S. Claus Parcel Service, stated today:
1. Conditions on the northern tundra are pretty
much the same as ever. No-o, TV hadn't affected
the grazing habits of the middle-class herds.
2. That despite reports to the contrary, you
don't ever thoroughly adjust to sub-zero weather,
regardless of the warm esteem people hold you in.
3. Rumors of a reindeer strike for Christmas Eve
are unfounded. Somebody's got a termite in his
antler.
When asked about the most popular Christmas gift
down through the years he replied without hesitation:
"Menswear by Manhattan. I've helped haul Mr.
Claus's sled, roe and buck, nigh unto forever ... so I
ought to know . . . nothing makes a man happier than
shirts, sportshirts, ties, pajamas, beachwear or under
wear labeled Manhattan. Don't know whether it's the
live style that makes a man look and feel so good,
whether it's the traditional tailoring detail, or the
array of fabrics, patterns and colors that are all so
unmistakeably quality. I'll admit one thing. I've kind
of wished sometimes that Manhattan would make
deerwear."
