Hoping to get back into the win
ning column after dropping con
tests to Michigan 77-71 and Wichita
Tl-46, the Nebraska Cornhuskers
will play host to the UCLA Uclans
tonight at the Coliseum. Tip-off
time is set lot 8 p.m. The Huskers
have won one game, a 69-63 over
time triumph over the Texas Tech
Red Raiders. They have also lost
to the Iowa Hawkeyes 60-51.
For the guests, they are bringing
2-2 record to Lincoln. Returning
to the UCLA fold this year are
four lettermen. Two of them are
two year veterans, their center Wil
lie Naulls and their guard, Morris
Taft. The 6-5 Naulls last year set
a southern division rebound record
of 163. He also scored 352 points
in 26 games for a 13.5 average.
Taft is known as one of the finest
guards in UCLA history. He has
ui excellent jump shot and is a
good driver. Other starters for the
invaders include Allen Herring at
6-3 and Carroll Adams at 6-1 at
forwards, and Dick Baton at the
other guard to round out their start
ing five.
UCLA possesses a record that in
cludes wins over Denver Univer
sity 68-40 and over Purdue 76-60.

Shi ne In IM Meet
By BOB COOK
Sports Editor
Cornhusker track followers
should have something tolook for
wp.rd to in the near future. For
several outstanding performances
by frosh tracksters have brightened
the picture.
Coach Frank Sevigne, in his first
year as Husker track coach un
veiled a dazzling array of yearling
prospects at the annua! NU intra
mural track meet. Although the
cinder trials were only the prelim
inaries Coach Sevigne had plenty
10 smile about.
A fabulous frosh in the person
of Keith Gardner of Jamaica stole
the spotlight in the prelims held
Tuesday night. The mustachioed
speedster turned in several per
formances that left the crowd gasp
inp To open the evening Gardner
breezed through a 60 yard dash
with a clocking of :06.3, only one
tenth of a second off the Big Seven
conference record, and only two
tenths of a second over the world
mark for the distance. Making
the performance even more fabu
lous, he singed the cinders in
sneakers as spikes are not allowed
in the meet.
However the scintillating 60 was
only the opener for the evening.
For Gardner followed up with a
flight of 60 yard high hurdles in
:07 5 which is again only :01 over
the conference standard. He then
concluded his showing on the track
as he topped the low timbers in
:07.1.
Gardner's heats of hurdles how
ever were set at the high school
level, standard for the intramural
meet. The twelve pound shot was
also used in the weight event.
Gardner's boosters were certain
he could match his performances
due to the lack of spikes.
He also paced the broad jumpers
with a 21.7 leap. It was observed
that on this jump he was some
live inches behind the four inch
wide takeoff plate. He slipped his
jump in between his sprint and
hurdles efforts.
Another exceptional effort some'
what overshadowed by Gardner's
exploits was the 13 feet 5 vault
of Bernie Randolph. Randolph
pulled away frorh the vaulting field
while qualifying in other events
Clearing this height at such an
early point in the season left Ran
dolph a marked man for the Big
Seven indoor championships next
spring.
Frosh Don Farrington turned in
another creditable showing in the
6C with a :06 7 clocking to win
frp honors in the fraternity compe'
tition. Bennie Dillard, still another
freshman flash was timed in :06.5
in the 60 but later injured a leg in
a hurdle race.
Two more freshmen distance men
looked good. Biff Morrison covered
an 880 in 2:U and former Gold Med'
al winner Gary Hoffman had a
2:12.3 timing.

young rookie stands 5-10. '
Joining these two men in the
starting quintet will be Chuck
Smith and Don Smldt at for
wards and Rex Ekwall at cen
ter. The other new change
finds Ekwall moving to the pivot
and Don Smldt to the forward.
This will be Ekwall's first start
since the Texas Tech contest. The
6-5 junior from Holmesville has
been shelved with a case of flu.
His absence has been strongly felt
by NU both in scoring and on the
boards.
While Ekwall has ,been missing
from the squad, senior co-captain
Chuck Smith has carried the Husk
er colors. The 6-1 forward has hit
74 points for an 18.5 average. He
hit 22 against Tech, 24 .against
Michigan adnd 15 against Wichita.
Merciers and Coufals appearance
in the starting lineups was the re
sult of their fine play against Texas
Tech and Wichita. Merciers floor
game was especially stimulating in
the waning moments of the over
time contest and it was couial's
basket in the overtime that proved
the winning margin.

Basketball action In the Big 7
was Kmited to Monday night as
four games were on tap. Besides
the Nebraska-Wichita tilt, Colora
do, Kansas State, and Oklahoma
met foes, with only Colorado emer
ging victoriously.
The Buffs, who were only sup
pose to have a so-so year after
their conference triumph last year,
continued their winning ways down
ing the Iowa Hawkeyes 60-57. Jim
Ranglos and Mel Coffman paced
the hosts with 19 points and 16
points respectively. Colorado
trailed at the half 33-31, but came
on strong at the end to down the
mighty 'visitors. The number one
scorer for Iowa, Carl Cain, was
held to one tally. It gave CU an
3-0 mark for the year and dropped
Iowa to a 2-1 record. One of their
wins was over Nebraska.
At Des Moines, Iowa, the Drake
Bulldogs also molded an upset,
downing the Kansas State Wild
c a t s 70-64. The Bulldogs came
from a 42-31 halftime deficit. Pacin
Vicens paced the Wildcat attack
with 15 points. The Wildcats led
59-58, but a Drake field goal put
them ahead to stay 60-59. Bill
Murrel led the winners attack with
15 points.
The other conference game, saw
the Ohio State Buckeyes, paced by
their all-American guard Robin
Freeman, down the Oklahoma
Sooners 89-68 in a contest at Co
lumbus, Ohio. Freeman, who cur
rently is leading the nation in scor
ing with an amazing 38.5 average,
tallied 12 field goals and 16 free
throws for 40 points. The Sooners
were never in the contest, being
down at the half 40-17. Joe King
led OU with 20 points.

individual medley as he handily
won it with a time of 2:35.3. This
is the first time this event has been
held. In years past the distance has
been 150 yards instead of 200
yards.
Nebraska was in command of
the meet from the first as they won
the 300-yard medley relay in the
first event and then added a first
ifi the next event, the 220-yard free
style, to build up a large lead. Ne
braska allowed the Grinnell tank
ers only three first places as they
sank the visitors.
Both Houchen and Carl Boden
steiner were double winners for
the Husker splashers. Besides win
ning the 200-yard individual med
ley, Houchen also won the. 200
yard breast stroke. Bodensteiner
outswam the opponents to capture
first places in the 220-yard free
style and the 440-yard free style
races. ,
Other firsts for Nebraska were
scored by Gene Cotter and Paul
Schorr. Cotter showed champion
ship form in winning the diving by
a large margin. Schorr won the
backstroke in the good time of
2:35.1.
Cotter, who lettered in 1953 and
is just back from the service, dem
onstrated the form which enabled
him to take second in the Big Seven
as a sophomore. In showing his ear
ly season form Cotter also showed
rnat he is a definite threat to the
Big Seven title.
In all, Nebraska tankers ran up
a grand total of eight firsts, six
seconds and three thirds. In three
events Nebraska swept both first
and second. They also won the 300
yard medley relay although they
had to settle for a second place in
the 400-yard free style relay.
The only Grinnell swimmer who
was able to break through the Ne
braska monopoly of first places
was Joel Stubbs. Stubbs, who is
Midwest sprint champ, handily
won the 50 and the 100-yard free
style events. He also swam the
anchor leg on the winning 400-yard

free style relay team. Stubbs woa
the 50 in 25.1 and the 100 In 57.S
which are credible times although
he has done much better In both
events.
The top thrill of the afternoon was
provided in the 220-yard free style
by Bodensteiner and Charles Hawt
rey of Grinnell. Dead even at the
last turn, Bodensteiner turned on
the steam as he out-sprinted Hawt
rey and won by a body length.
Grinnell has always been a tough
meet for Nebraska and last year
they tied them, 42-42.
Nebraska's next meet will be on
Jan. 7 when they travel to Manhat
tan, Kan., to swim the Kansas
State Swim Club. .
