I Friday, March 18, 1955 THE NEBRASKAN From The Pressbox . Hawkey es Predicted To Win Over LaSalle By BRUCE BRUGMANN Sports Editor The Municipal Auditorium at; Kansas City will be so heavily deluged with blue chips tonight that the NCAA basketball semi finalists may have difficulty find ing a clearing to play on. The sparkling two game docket, pitting Iowa's Big Ten champions against LaSalle's defending cham pionship quint ind Colorado versus the nation's top-ranked team, San Francisco, is expected to draw a capacity crowd of 10,00. Thus far few sports scribes have come out and made any definite predictions. Most have been cleverly playing patsy with the printer's ink, and saying "Iowa is capable of beating LaSalle . . . Buffs may be Dons 'Spoilers'. . . The Big Ten champs have the guns to do the job . . . San Francisco's Bill Russell will probably be too much for the Golden Buffaloes." It might seriously hurt my chances for the presidency, but I predict that Iowa will beat LaSalle and Colorado will take the San Francisco Don. Furthermore, I predict in tonight's twin bill that Bob Jeangerard of Colorado and Bill Logan of Iowa University will vie for the tourney's individual laurels not Tom Gola of LaSalle or towering Bill Russell of the California crew. Colorado, probably chanting al ready "San Francisco, Open Your Scoring Gates," has met one mutual foe with the Dons. The Golden Herd lost to UCLA, 65-2, while the Uclan's handed San Francisco only loss, 47-50, then were later beaten by the Wes Coast darlings, 56-44 The important point here is that Colorado lost . this game during their four game slump early in the season. Conpled with the facts that they have played a stiffer brand of competition and star Don forward Jerry Mullen might not be able to play, I give the Colo radoans the nod. But it'll be close. Iowa University, employing a well-balanced scoring attack, will face the task of holding All- every thing Tom Goia "goalless." The outcome of the game will hinge on the performance of Bill Logan, the Hawkeye's high scorer and top rebounder. and probably one of the more underrated players in basketball.

Although the realm of intramu ral basketball was justifiably over shadowed by the inaugural chores of Husker mentor Jerry Bush, this organized play should share the limelight. According to program director Ed Higgenbotham " . . . this year's intramural play has been one of our most outstanding." When the climactic finale of IM play was staged last Saturday night as a prelim to the Class AA championship, only a few onlookers realized the caliber of ball being displayed. Perhaps the color of the preppers is lacking but that is made un for in experience and action. A vast nebulae of former high school stars, many onetime greats at the Big Show, compile these line ups. Even All-Staters aren't a rarity and the level of play could almost be compared to the Ne braska College Conference. Many a coach would give the proverbial right arm for some of these "dor mant" athletes. Many of these flippers are varsity competitors in other snorts and compete during their off seasons. Still another cateeorv are the onetime frosh and even varsity prospects who for various reasons decided to pass up intercollegiate competition. Viewine a crosssection of the capabilities of some of these net- men many prep school standouts are present. The ATO's,-aIl-University ehanv pions, boasted a well-rounded quint of high school stars led by Bob Brown, Fairbury all-stater, Al Blessing, a five year competitor in intramurals from Ord, John Swan- son, all-state forward on Hastings High's champ team, and Dave Jones, a former guard on Lincoln High's 'SI state tourney five.

It was a good season, much better than expected, and especially thrilling for Nebraska fans as the Huskers tasted defeat only once on the home court. Everytime the Nebraskans went out on the court, fans could expect a good game. Even when the Huskers were behind they hustled, and this hustle paid off with seven wins out of eight home games. Prelim Battles The Nebraska games were made doubly interesting hy the prelimi nary battles between the two freshmen squads. The frosh showed the same hustle and de termination as the varsity. The first-year men this season were extraordinarily sharp. Coached by Tony Sharpe, they showed a brand of basketball that promises great things for the varsity in the next few years. Jim Kubacki led the frosh this year in scoring, hitting S1.4 per cent of his shots for 146 counters. Right behind him were Lyle Nan nen, with 50 per cent for 122 points; Gary Reimers, also hitting 50 per cent for 120 points; Don Emidt, who meshed 40.2 per cent of his shots for 113 points, and Gary Ruck, with 39.4 per cent for 102 points. Other high scorers were Jim Thorn with 71, Jim Ar wood with 65, Cal Johnson with 61, Ron Peters with 56 and Terry Howard with 47.
