Revenge will be in the air Mon
day night as the Nebraska Corn
huskers play host to the invading
Missouri Tigers at the Coliseum
in the home conference opener.
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. That season the Huskers failed to
mia a team match, Wfta the extxp&m of Charlie Bryant and Lawrence
Goa, last season's mat crew is fctect. With some experience under
tiesr belts, the grappto-s omM return Nebradca to the positka it once
fceld to tetercdlegiaJe wrestling circles.
To put an end to tMs ramUiJsg I wax to wish Pete Elliot the best
ti Sack because be jaa wa2d h'&a a frykg pan if past actions are an
iadkatko. Also. Yd Lie to namd any readers this cotata may have
that everyjidog tfcat appears here is my opuaon s!y aid any poison

two-year letterman, will lead his
muscular mates in their first dual
meet of the 1955-56 season at Kan

afford coach Jake Geir his first
real look at the Huskers under
fire. To date Nebraska has com
peted only in an invitational meet
in Chicago, where, due to technical
difficulties, no standings were an
nounced. It was learned, however,
that Riley and Wayne Strickler,
junior letterman from Lincoln,
earned 8 places with Riley getting
five.
