Tuesday, December 6, 1 As By BOB BORIM Staff Sports Writer Nebraska's ball control strategy almost paid off Saturday as they challenged the Iowa Hawkeyes for three quarters finally succumbing to a 60-51 defeat. ITlie tremendous height advant age of the hosts plus the returning nucleus of last year's NCAA fourth place squad added up to be too much for the sophomore studded Huskers to cope with. - As the Hawkeyes chalked up their 66th consecutive win against non-conference foes at home, the Huskers impressed their followers It dm tab TO FIGURE YOU'LL HAVE EXTRA CASH for CHllSTfMS GOING HOME BY GREYHOUND kk at loot youtfc Acue...

The never say die Ne braskans remained within striking distance throughout the contest. Coach Jerry Bush applied the proper tactics to the sky-scraping Iowans, knowing that they were outmanned on the boards they re sorted to a ball control plan.

Basketball season now takes over the confer ence spotlight. With the season now underway, two quintets are rated as co-favorites to take conference laurels. They are the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats. Both squads are loaded with re turning veterans, and of the two, the Jayhawks should take the nod over their interstate rival. Coach Forest Allen, the dean of Ameri can basketball mentors, beginning bis 39th year at KU and his 46th year in -the business, will once again field an' all-veteran team. After finishing first in 1950-52-53-54 and second in 1951, the Kansans fell to a disappointing fourth last year. Gone from that squad of 1954 were the Lovelletes, the Borns, the Kelleys, and the Pat tersons, and In their place were four sophomores and one 'junior, Dallas Dobbs. The senior guard from Bartelsville, Oklahoma was nn all-Big 7 selection his rookie year, but rated only a second place berth last year. Supporting Dobbs were the first year men, Gene Elstun, John Parker, Maurice King, and Lew Johnson. This year those five plus an able second unit in the person of Bill Brainard, Lee Green, Blaine Hollinger, and Jim Toft, a product of Grand Island high, along with two able sopho mores in the person of Eddie Di ter and Ron Johnson, forms the quintet that could very well carry the Kansans through the confer ence in triumphant style.

The Cornhuskers never led but after falling behind by an 8-0 count tney retaliated to press at 22-21 and to within two points shortly after the half. Nebraska could do nothing to control the advantage their oppon ents had on the rebounding depart ment as the Iowa clan played Carl Cain (6-4), Bill Logan (6-6V4), Bill Schoolf (6-6) and Tom Payne (6-6). Jim Thorn, sophomore pivot who stands 6-9 was not the answer to the Husker problem. He played most of the second half at the pnst and could manage only a set up and a free throw. The NU scoring machine sput tered during the second half as it accounted for only six buckets aft er managing 14 in the first canto. Co-captain ChuckSmith paced the Husker offensive with a total of 13 points six ot them potted n fancy hooks. Sophomore Jim Ku backi showed an outstanding floor game acting as the Big Red play- maker and adding nine points and grabbing many rebounds from his taller opponents. Forward Rex Ekwall also nailed down 10 points and speared many rebounds Don Smidt, sophomore pivot led the Huskers with 10 grabs off the boards. The pony express sophs showed promise-Gary Reim ers, Kubacki and Jim Arwood as vn Cci The other conference co-favorite, ! fields a veteran crew against the Texas Tech five Dec. 6 at Man hattan. This is the Texas team that opens the home season for Ne braska Dec. 9. Coach Tex Winter will answer the call with Dick Stone, a 6-3 senior and Larry Fischer, a 6-5 sophomore at for wards. At the pivot will be a big 6-9 sophomore, Jack Parr, with Pachin Vicens at 5-9 and Fritz Schneider, a 6-3 junior at guards. Defending champions, Colora do, will have the biggest rebuild ing job, trying to replace their all conference center Burdette Hal derson and their stellar forward Bob Jengerard. Last year the Buffs came from the cellar with an early season 1-7 mak to take the conference with an 11-1 record, tneir only loss at the hands of the Huskers. The year before they tied KU for the crown. This year, Coach Bebe Lee will go with an all-letterman line-up. It will include Jim Ranglos at 6-4 and Mel Coff man at 6-3 at forwards, George Hannah at 6-7, and Mick Mans field at 6-4 and Bill Peterson at 6 or Dave Mowbray at 6-1 at guards. The Missouri Tigers, last years conference runner-ups, have taken on three quick games, opening Sat urday with Purdue ,at Laffeyette and then returning home and meet ing South Dakota and Texas Tech on a Monday-Tuesday date. The Bengals, out to improve their 16-5 over-all mark of last year and their 10-2 finish in the league, will nlsn field an lettered line-up, but missing from the starting quintet of last year will be their numer one scorer. 6-9 Bob Reiter and their number three scorer, Med Park.

Ste wart will be the big gun in the Tiger attack, last year averaging 16.7 points a game and a first team spot on the all-conference team. Both Iowa State and Oklahoma will once again have to take a back seat in the league, the Soon ers relying heavily on their 6-6 pivot man LeRoy Bacher. The Cy clones will have three sophomores in their starting five, John Craw ford, Don Medsker, and Lyle Frahm, plus juniors Gary Thomp son and Chuck Bogt. The Huskers, who 'came on strong last year, have veterans Duane Buel, Chuck "Smith, Norm Coufal, Bill Wells, Rill Roy, and Rex Ekwall, plus rookies Jim Ku backi, Jim Thorn, and Lyle Nan ne.
