Tip-off time is set for 8 p.m. The Tigers, who finished second in the Big Seven last year with a 9-3 mark and an overall 16-5 rec ord, will bring an impressive 9-3 standard to Lincoln. They have won two games in the league, downing the Kansas Jayhawks and Colorado. The visitors edged past Nebraska in the opening round of the Big 7 pre-season tournament at Kansas City last month 71-66. The Missourians opened the cur rent campaign downing South Da kota University. They then bowed to Purdue before garnering their second win at the expense of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Th e y then lost one to Indiana which gave them a record of 2-2 by blasting Idaho in the conference tourney, they won their opener against NU before losing to the Kansas Jay hawks in the semi-finals. Th e y copped third place honors edging past the Colorado Buffs 82-79. They then downed Arkansas 51-50 and ran over the Jayhawks 76-53. They beat CU Saturday night. For the invading Tigers, coach Wilber Stalcup will field a starting Quintet rf four veterans and a rookie. The lone new face in the Mizzou line-up will find Rodger Egelhoff at one forward in place of Redford Reichert. Egelhoff is a 6-4 sophomore. Joining him at the other forward is a junior, Bill Ross. Ross enjoyed the best night of his career against KU when he tallied 24 points. At center for the Gold and Black will be big 6-7 Chuck Denny. The senior pivot man has come up to step into the shoes of MU's all-star center, Bill Reiter. Last year, Reiter paced the Ti g e r scoring attack with 231 points, good for a 19.2 mark. At the guards for the Missour ians will be Norm Stewart and Lionel Smith. Stewart is pacing the Tigers this year. The 6-4 guard was the second leading scorer for MU last year tallying 189 points for a 15.7 average. Smith is a 6-2 junior who scored 22 points fdr Mizzou in their first- meeting of the season. Backing up the start ing five for Missouri is Redford Reichert and John Stevens, a 6-6 the MU squad this year is 6-2 Med Park. The senior forward ran a center. Another face missing from close third to Stewart last year, hitting 185 points for a 15.2 stand ard. On the Nebraska side one bit of bright news hit the Husker camp. Duane "Whitey" Buel, the senior Couitetr Lincoln Journal BUEL co-captain, who has missed the first 11 NU contests due to a frac tured collarbone, returned to the NU starting five. Buel, a two-year letterman, is the quarterback of the Husker quintet. Last year h& scored 132 points for a 6.2 average. Joining the 5-10 senior at the other guard is another senior, Norm Coufal. The 6-1 senior vet eran has done a steady job all year for Jerry Bushes squad. He is averaging 3.2 for the season. At the center spot for the Huskers is one of their spohomore finds, Don Smidt. The 6-5 rookie is averaging 8.4 for the year with 93 tallies. At the forwards for the Corn- huskers are their number one and two scorers, Chuck Smith and Rex Ekwall. The 6-2 Smith is aver aging 13.8 vr'M 152 points. Ekwall, who has missed two contests with a case of flu, is leading the team in averages with a 14.0 mark but has scored only 126 points. Young Jim Kubacki and Ga r y Reimers will be called on for much action. Both sophomores have played fine ball this year. The Huskers will be trying to add win number four to their current 3-8 record.

Riley To Set Pace In Opener For Gymnasts Against K-St. As I See It . . . Wafer Under The Dam By WALTER BLORE An awful lot of water has gone under the proverbial dam since this smiling face appeared in this glorious paper. I was amused by a certain Rose Bowl commentator's remarks on the greatness of the two teams that appeared in the January 1956 contest. Although it was probably the closest game played that me morial afternoon, I don't think that the two teams were the "best col lege football teams" in existence. In fact, I had just switched the television set over from the Orange Bowl where some boys from one of our oil-producing states were also engaged in a post-season clash. Although I'm no expert on college football, I am a firm believer of the fact that Oklahoma is the nation's number one team. Just for kicks I decided to time Oklahoma in the huddle. At one time it took the Sooners 10 seconds to put the ball in play after the ball carrier had been tackled on the previous play. In my opinion, youH have to go a long way before you can find a team that will equal Oklahoma. Since football has been put away for a while, 111 devote some space to the sports of the present season. Basketball has been upon the na tion for over a month which has given some observers (notice, I didn't -say experts) a chance to come up with supposedly iron-clad observations on the current season. Although I haven't had the oppor tunity to see the San Francisco Dons in action this year, I've been told they are the best college team in the business. That's a pretty strong statement to make, especially since no team is unbeatable. However, it looks as if the Dons will come as close as possible to that standard this season. My supposedly intellectual cohort (fellow sports-writer Max Kreitman) tells me that after watching the Big Seven Pre Season Tournament the team to beat in the conference is Iowa State. Gary Thompson is only a junior and the rest of the team are also under classmen, which means that the Cyclones will be dangerous for the next few seasons. Probablv one of the most frustrated mentors in the business is Jerry Bush. The Great White Bear can't seem to place his finger on the cold periods his cagers have during a game. Just when the Corn buskers seem to be skating on clear ice, the whole affair blows up in their face. It, the blowup, can probably be attributed to the inexpe rience of the members of the team. Within the next week I think most fan will see a change in the boopsters' fortunes. I can't forget the performance they gave against the Bruins from UCLA on Dec. 16. Tbey played a fill 40 minutes without the least bit of trouble. This is a good indication of things to come, I think. BoESie Lesley has been using the crying towel frequently this sea son although his splashers have given good accounts of themselves so far. If some of tas key men can shake various mftlatlir ttey should be able to torn in a fairly respectable season. It might be stretching tMngs a hnle to suppose they codd match abilities with the Union of South Africa Olympic Swim Team. The South Africans supply the University of Oklahoma with material for their mterscbolastic tarJt team. TruJy, great advancesneists have been made to putting down ms rank recrxasg that used to be prevalent at our institutions of higher learning throughout this land. Turniiig to the sport that produces more cauliflower ears than other competitive sport, wrestJkig, finds me facing a little problem to that so far the grapp!ers have met no ppooeBts so Tm at loss for copy materiaL II shouldn't be too bard for Don Strasheim's matmen to improve on tter 1S54-55 season.
