Big Seven Title Threat
By GARY FR AND SEN
Sports Editor
Although a month or so ago
' Bity of Colorado basketball team would be one of the Big Seven's
weak sisters, the breeze every coach likes once in a while, the
situation has completely reversed itself as the rejuvenated Buffs
nave been winning m convincable
ine cumaxing or tneir amazing comeback after a season's
start of seven straight setbacks was reached Tuesday night with
their startling, but not too surprising 70-62 triumph over Dr. Phog
Aliens Kansas Jayhawks, the pre-season favorites who went into
the game with a 4-0 mark and tied with Nebraska for first place.
Things looked bleak on the Colorado basketball scene back
In December with their high-scoring ace of last year, Art Bunte,
having been lured to the University of Utah. To make matters
even worse three top prospects were lost to the squad because of
various reasons.
At that time the future looked far from bright. Their arch'
rival, Colorado A&M, rudely opened the Buffs' cage campaign with
a 54-44 conquest. In rapid, succession Oklahoma A&M (twice),
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Iowa
tain quintet.
THEN THE "something" happened. Battling the University of
Washington for seventh place in
ment, Lee's Buffs ran wild and
Coast club 81-60.
Since then things have been
State has marred the Colorado record. Led by Center Burdette Hal
dorson, the Buffs followed up their triumph over the Huskies by
. stopping Missouri 66-60; then came the loss to the Cats, but again
they rallied to mow down Oklahoma,, Missouri and now Kansas.
The big question frequently asked is what's caused the sudden
turnabout in the fortunes of Colorado basketball. The fine all
around play of the high-scoring Haldorson, the improved shooting
from far-out by Guards Tom Harrold and Charlie Mock and the
surprise showing of sophomore Mel Coffman briefly sums up the
answer.
Haldorson, a 6-7 junior, was frigid from the field in his open
ing appearances. Against Colorado A&M in the opener he con
nected only three times in 15 tries arid wound up with 11 points.
The big boy could then get only 12 in the two-game series with
Oklahoma A&M. '
IN SFX games Haldorson had only 55 points. After regaining
his confidence by continuing to shoot although he wasn't hitting
well, things began to pay off. He dunked in 17 in a losing effort
against the Cyclones and had 20 against the Huskies.
From then on he scored with consistant accuracy. In the team's
first four conference starts "Burdie" tallied 26, 24, 27 and 25.
Against Kansas he managed 18.
,
Harry Good's league-leading Cornhuskers, the conference's
only undefeated team with a 4-0 mark, gets their first look at the
revamped Buffs in their crucial Monday night clash at the Coli
seum. BOTH NEBRASKA and Colorado have similar strengths and
weaknesses. Both teams have given good indications of having
balanced scoring attacks. Any member of the first fives of both
squads is capable of having one of those highly-pr,oductive nights.
The lack of bench strength is evidenced on both teams. Stan
Matzke, Gary Renzelman and Whitey Buel, the best of the Husker
reserves thus far, have been inconsistant in their performances
while Forward Jim Ranglos, the injured Sammy Morrison, the little
guard; and sophomore Center George Hannah have been the only
impressive Colorado reserves.
-- .- - -
NEBRASKA WILL have a noticeable height advantage in
Monday's important skirmish. Besides the 6-7 'Haldorson on the
first five, Forwards Coffman and Bob Jeangerard are both 6-3
while Guards Harrold and Mock are both only 5-11.
The Colorado tussle will be the biggest test for Nebraska
strength yet. If the Huskers can whip the Buffs and can pick up
the expected win against Kansas State Saturday night, it could be
a big push to their first conference crown since the 1949-50 season.
Only time will tell! -

Huskers Then Return To Lincoln For Monday Tilt
With Bebe Lee's
Coach Harry Good's University
of Nebraska basketball team,
currently riding on the top of
the Big Seven standings, will be
shooting for their fifth straight
conference win against Coach Tex
Winter's Kansas State Wildcats
Saturday night at Manhatten.
The Huskers will be seeking
their third straight triumph over
the once-powerful Cats. They
whipped them in the first round
of the pre-season Big Seven tour

earlier win with a 88-75 victory
at Lincoln several weeks agb.
The Cats have been taking
their bumps lately. In their last

initial conference win by edging
the Cats 60-56, but injuries have

The class reunion at his alma mater,
Swarthmore College, was an eye-opener
for Ed Mahler. The talk among the
Class of '50 switched to jobs. Ed had
taken it for granted that everybody was
happy with his work.
Then he found that some of his class
mates had had two or three jobs 6ince
leaving school. Others ha4 kept the
same one but weren't satisfied. By stick
ing with his first job and intending to
make it a lifetime career, Ed suddenly
discovered he had a head start.
After being graduated with a B.A. in
Economics, he went to work for Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania in
1950. He reports he chose the Telephone
Company because it seemed to offer the
best chance for a career.
After a year of training in which he
worked in each of the departments
installing telephones, handling business
contacts with customers Ed felt he
had a good look at the entire company.

He was assigned to the Traffic Depart
ment, which has the responsibility for
seeing that customers' calls are handled
efficiently. The job included personnel
work in addition to developing better
operating methods and practices. He
was quickly put on his own.
Now Ed has been transferred to the
job of estimating the amount and type
of new equipment which will be needed
in central offices as their customers
increase.
Ed points out that projecting himself
into the future isn't anything new. That's
precisely what he attempted to do when
he chose his first and only job.
Ed Mahler's job is with an operating com
pany of the Bell System. But there are
also jobs for engineers, arts and science
and business administration graduates with
Western Electric, Sandra Corporation, and
Bell Telephone Laboratories.
