Speaking Of Sports
fabulous 'Bevo' Breaking
T.Ian Basketball Records
THE NEBRASKAN
Pag 3
By GARY FRANDSEN
Sports Editor
Clarance (Bevo) Francis cer
tainly must be the basketball
player extraordinary. The fan
tastic Rio Grande College 8tar
recently smashed a multitude of
basketball records with a hard-to-believe
effort of 113 points,
an accomplishment which should
stand up in the annuals for years
to come.
Francis, a 6-9 center for the
email Ohio college, probably
performed wonders with a red
hot basketball in dropping home
38 field goals and 37 charity
tosses against Hillsdale College
of Michigan to break the all
time single-game record of 84
points which he himself set ear
lier this season against Bluffton
College.
The 113-polnt output was not
a personal high for Coach Newt
Oliver's graceful golden boy.
During last year's campaign Bevo
racked up 116 points against
Ashland Junior College, but
NCAA officials refused to recog
nize the mark because it came
against a junior college.
Apparently the NCAA has
lifted its long-debated snub
against the amazing Mr. Francis.
Officials in New York shortly
after the Hillsdale performance
confirmed that the 113 points
would be accepted as a new
mark.
AT THE close of last year's
season the NCAA parent body,
led by Yale's basketball coach,
Howard Hobson, made it ex
tremely rough on Bevo by offi
cially disapproving of every
scoring feat the big boy came
up with.
The action plainly called for
another fantastic season by
Francis during this year's cam
paign or run the risk of being
called just another player who
took advantage of a pushover
schedule. From the way things
have been going for Bevo the
latter possibility has long been
ruled out.
Especially burned up over the
NCAA's viewpoint was Oliver,
the 5-9 coach and also a former
Rio Grande star who led the na
tion's scorers with 748 points
during the 1947-48 season. He
even went as far as challenging
noDson ana his Yale team to a
game, but it wasn't taken seri
ously by the Eli.
THIS SEASON Oliver went to
work and lined up a 25-game
scneauie, 24 of the eames beinsr
against four-year schools, that
canea lor contests with such rue
ged opposition as North Carolina
fctate. Wake Forest and Villa
nova. Currently Bevo and his
mates have been victorious 16
times out of 20 starts.
Francis has sparkled like the
Bevo of last year In most of the
games. He whiffed In a set shot
in the waning moments to stag
ger a powerful Wake Forest
team. Against Crelghton, a team
which is usually pretty form!
dable In the basketball ranks,
Francis flipped in 49 to lead Rio
Grande past the startled Jays.
At the present time Bevo, who
handles .himself like a ballet
dancer, is rolling along at a per
game average of nearly 50 points
and is only a few games away
of reaching the coveted 1,000
point mark for the second
straight season.
IF THE NCAA '"goes through
with their earlier word in ap
proving Francis records, they
tnen probably have on their
hands an individual who could
rewrite their record books from
beginning to end.
Although the 113 points came
against a relative unknown
school, it is still a record that
should be duly recognized by
all. It definitely labels Francis
as one of basketball's all-time
scorers. It's going to be ex
tremely difficult, if not impos
sible, to duplicate Bevo's latest
achievement no matter what the
opposition is.
IF YOU'RE one of those who
goes by the old axiom, "Seeing
is believing," in judging an ath
lete's ability, then your chance
is coming. In early March Bevo
and his Rio Grande mates will
appear in Omaha against the
Creighton Bluejays. We'll cer
tainly be there to see the fun!

Cyclone Mermen
Defeat Nebraska
A strong Iowa State swimming
team, winning all but one first,
sunk the University of Nebraska
squad 64-28 in a dual meet at
Ames Saturday.
Cal Bentz was the only Hus
ker to capture a first place. He
won the 440-yard free style in
5:09.4 and also finished second in
the 120-yard Individual medley.
Other Huskers to pick up
points included Dick Hill, Dave
Gradwohl, Dick Hlideck, George
Gohde, Gordon Peterson, Lloyd
Reed and Bob Sandstedt.
Everything wasn't dark on the
Husker picture, however. Most of
the swimmers improved their
marks in winning to Kansas ear
lier this season.
This weekend Coach Hollis
Lepley's squad will see plenty
of action with two dual meets
slated for the Nebraska pool. On
Friday they meet Colorado and
on the following day they play
host to Kansas. The first will get
underway at 3 p.m. and the lat
ter an hour earlier.

Harrold, Haldorson, Coffman Pace Colorado Squad
As Big Bill Johnson Stars For Stubborn Scarlet
By GARY FRANDSEN
Sports Editor
Coach Bebe Lee's University
of Colorado Buffs, racing to an
early first quarter lead which
they never relinquished, fought
off several determined Nebraska
challenges that brought the
Huskers a point or two shy and
then went on to post a rousing
75-67 victory before one of the
largest Coliseum crowds of the
season.
t It was a combination of erratic
passing and a red-hot Tom Har
rold that haunted the Huskers In
the early moments. The sizzling
Coloiadans cashed in on the first
five shots they had at the bas
ket with Harrold, a 5-11 guard,
connecting four times.
With Forward Mel Coffman
and Center Burdette Haldorson
taking over the aggressive Buffs
raced to a 21-9 lead before
Guard Fred Seger and Forward
Don Weber scored to close the
first quarter margin to 21-13.
Nebraska cut the margin to
three points early in the second
stanza, but Harrold hit two
jump shots to send the Buffs
away again. Later in the period
the Scarlet crept to within two
points, but again the visitors
came through with a scoring
spurt.
r The second half pattern was
much the same with Nebraska
