Shooting At Sports
Husker Cagers Musi Win
Against Kansas Saturday
By GARY FRANDSEN
Sporti Editor
It's rapidly nearing showdown time for Coach Harry Good's
University of Nebraska basketball team. Colorado's impressive
75-67 decision over the Huskers Monday leaves the Scarlet with
no other alternative if they have any desire whatsoever of staying
In the Big Seven scramble.
The "must" is a rugged assignment, especially since it in
volves Dr. Phog Allen's Kansas Jayhawks. To make matters even
more difficult than they already are, the probable do-or-die
skirmish will be run off in the Jayhawks back yard.
To whip the favored lads from Mt. Oread the Huskers' mis
takes must be kept to a bare minimum. Unnecessary fouls and
erratic passing must stay far away from the Hoch Auditorium
floor this Saturday night.
It's virtually no secret that a successful Nebraska offense !
rests almost entirely on the first five of Forwards Willard Fagler
and Don Weber, Center Bill Johnson, and Guards Fred Seger and
Charlie Smith, plus a lone reserve, versatile Stan Matzke.
THE HUSKER attack usually sputters when fouls erase sev
eral of the regulars from the lineup. Good will again more and
likely have to depend on the six "iron men" in an all-out attempt
to get the Scarlet back in the thick of the conference race.
Against the Buffs the "big six" went all the way with the
exception of a few seconds. Colroado, although their bench isn't
the strongest there is, didn't seem to bog down too much with
reserves like Jim Ranglos, Sammy Morrison and George Hannah
in there.
Saturday the Huskers will be again meeting a club with
auperior bench strength. Starting for Kansas will probably be
Harold Peterson (6-1) and Larry Davenport (6-2) at the forwards,
B.H. Born (6-9) at center and Dallas Dobbs (5-11) and Allen
Kelley (5-11) at the guards.
Allen has such capable replacements as Bill Heitholt (6-3),
Chris Divich (6-2), Bill Brainard (6-3) and Gary Padgett (6-2)
ready to go if any of the starting five Should falter. Another
excellent performer, Forward Jerry AlwrtS (6-5), has been
repeatedly hampered by the injury bugaboo.
AN ERRATIC display of passing which aided the Huskers in
having a frigid first quarter was the one thing that hurt the
Scarlet the most against Colorado. That, plus some nifty shooting
by Tom Harrold, Burdette Haldorson and Mel Coffman, gave the
aroused Buffe a lead that Nebraska could never quite overcome.
The shocking percentage of Colorado was amazing in the
early stages of the game. Coach Babe Lee's cagers connected the
first five cracks they had at the bucket. During the scoring spree
the classy Harrold cashed In on three jump shots and a layin
while Haldorson tallied with a short hook.
The Colorado defense was at its best most of the evening,
being especially effective aralnst Seger, the Nebraska captain.
It was very seldom when the 6-4 Omahan got a chance to ret off
his, favored one-handed jump or push shot from outcourt
It always seemed tljat when one of the visitors would have
his "cold spell" another would be ready to carry the load for
a while. Harrold, Haldorson, Coffman and Bob Jeangerard all
came through with thirteen points or more in pacing the balanced
Buffalo attack.
But enough of the pas the big thing now is to concentrate
n defeating the JayhawKs this weekend. With a combination
f all the right factors the Huskers can be right back into the
middle of the turmoil in the spirited race for the Big Seven crown.

Kansas Will Throw Two Top-Notch Pivots
At Nebraska's Johnson This Saturday
Kansas, next foe for the Corn-
huskers, is getting considerable
mileage out of a new post-man
who, by Big Seven standards,
shouldn t even be playing the position.
The lad is a needle-thin. 6-3,
170-pounder named Bill Brainard.
He hardly fits the physical pat
tern of conference pivot men, but
he has come along with such an
early-season rush, Jayhawker
foes no longer can relax wnen
B. H. Born, the 6-9 holdover All-
American, is whistled down on
fouls.
FACT IS three of KU's last four
foes have found Brainard's multi
ple maneuvering out of the key
hole almost as much a problem as
Born's all-round talents.
Brainard, the Newton sopho
more rose from the ranks of the
nameless in the Big Seven tourna
ment finals against Oklahoma.
With Born forced out with a first-
half halter of four fouls, then
waived out of action with his
fifth late in the ..
Brainard x
came on to
spell the dif
ference in a

82-73 victory.

stabbed OU
with 22 points, 14 of them on free
throws. The latter figure snapped
the university modern single
game record of 12 held joirttly
by Charlie Black, Clyde Lovellette
and Born.
Two games later when Born
was sidelined with his fifth in
fraction just 2:46 into the third
period, Brainard delivered with 16
points as the Kansans galloped,
86-69, to bag their second confer
ence win. Against Oklahoma A&M
Tuesday night, Brainard furn
ished seven points in relief while
holding the Cowpokes' two giant
pivots. Bob Mattick (6-11), and
Ken Hendrick (6-6), to an aggre
gate of seven. '
Through the Missouri and A&M
games, the angular sophomore
strung together 13 consecutive
free throws, before missing his
fith Gallagher Hall attempt to fall
one short of Bob Kenney's record
in the 1952 NCAA-title year.
All this from a performer who
Coach Phog Allen originally
planned to retread at forward be
cause of his comparative lack of
loftand promising outside shoot
ing ability. Fact is, Brainard's

effort aeainst OU was his first

The Cornhuskers meanwhile
will counter with their own ace

perform for Nebraska since big
Bus Whitehead lead the Corn
huskers to a first place tie in
1949-50, will attempt to increase
his conference scoring lead

When you come right down to it, you
smoke for one simple reason . . . enjoy
ment. And smoking enjoyment is all a
matter of taste. Yes, taste is what counts
in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.
Two facts explain why Luckies taste
better. First, L.S.M.F.T. Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, good
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.
So, for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,
Be Happy Go Lucky. Get a pack or a
carton of better-tasting Luckies today.
