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

Conference Outlook:
ICshsbs yinfs
By MAX KREITMAN
Staff Sports Writer
The curtain has fallen on the
1955 gridiron season in the .Big 7
as the Oklahoma Sooners are
Orange-b o w 1 bound. 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. KU
opened play Monday against
Northwestern at Lawrence.

tl-e Hawkeyes cashed in for 20-28'
gratis tosses to -the Huskers mea
ger 11-24.
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. Answering the opening gun
for Sparky Stalcups five will be
Eddie Ronsick and Redford

they displayed some pretty smooth
ball handling.
The poison for the Big 7 rep
resentatives came in the form of
Logans 16 counters and 14 re
bounds while his adversary Cain
dropped in IS points to the Iowa
cause.
Nebraska opens it home sched

Reichert at forwards, Chuck Den
ny at center, and Lionel Smith
and Norm Stewart at guards. 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

The Huskers, who 'came on
strong last year, have veterans
