Oread five has failed to live un tn
these notices. Kansas has a 3-3
record at the halfway mark in con
ference play.
The Jayhawks will be without
the services of CaDtain Dal
las Dobbs who hit the scholastic
hurdle at the end of the first se
mester. Until he bowed out, Dobbs
was pacing the Jayhawk quintet
with a 20.5 per-e a m e averaee
Since his departure. KU has
dropped both of their Big Seven
contests.
This means

short (6-6) as modern pivotmen
go. Johnson is the man who has
handled the rebounding chores
against taller opponents with con
siderable efficiency. As a sorjh. the
rawboned Argentine product scored
210 points, and grabbed 230 re
bounds.
Other Jayhawk starters will be
GenElstun, Bill Brainard, and Lee
Green. Brainard is the only senior
in this line-up. Elstun led the Kan
sans in league scoring last year
with 169 markers. All but Brain
ard and Green were starters last
season.
This is the first meeting of the
two quintets in the half-way com
pleted season. Last year, the two
foes met three times with the
Huskers winning twice. KU beat
the Bushmen 69-66 in the Big
Seven tourney at Kansas City. The
Cornhuskers bounded back with a
66-62 victory at Lincoln and a 66
55 conquest of the Crimson-and-
Blue at Lawrence.
Bush has not yet named his start
ing line-up. Rex Ekwall, Jim Ar-
wood, Terry Howard, Jim Kubacki,
and Gary Reimers started Monday
against the K-State Wildcats. Chuck
Smith and Don Smidt were quickly
hustled into the game, however.
Norm Cnufal and Whitev Biiel are
also available for first-line duty.
Smith is leading the scorers with
190 points. Ekwall has pulled
down 128 rebounds to lead in this
department.
A win is a must for both teams,
KU must capture the encounter
if they expect to remain in the
running. Nebraska, however, has
won only one game. They need a
victory to pull themselves out of
the doldrums that have plagued
them all season.
The Lawrence clan has two eames
to play with Nebraska and Colo
rado,. They also have one game
each with Oklahoma and Kansas
State.
The Huskers have a home-court
victory over Missouri. Thev have
suffered defeats against Colorado
twice and K-State once.
Past history shows KU with a
considerable lead over the Nebras-
kans in the total won-lost record
The Kansans have a 62-39 mar
gin since the series started in 1902
They also have outscored the Husk
ers 4394 to 3661.
The most durable tutor in the
land, Phog Allen is also the win
ningest. His teams at four schools
have captured 757 victories while
suffering only 224 defeats. This
gives the Phogger a .771 per
centage in 46 seasons. This is not
all of Allen s astonishing record.
His teams have won outright or
shared 31 conference champion
ships. His 1952 squad captured the
NCAA crown and contributed seven
Jayhawkers to the United States
Olympic team.

Hello there.
The second semester holds both good news and bad news- for
sports enthusiasts at the University. Part of the good news is the ap
proaching spring weather, and much of the bad news can be attributed
to the reappearance of this column.
okies end transition . . .
tor those ol us who left the farm in 1953 to
come to the University, there is little remnant
of the familiar in the ranks of the athletic staff.
The surprising thing to the classes of '57 and '56 is
that just a few years ago Ed Weir was track coach,
Harry Good was the basketball mentor, Potsy
Clark was the athletic head and Bill Glassford was
steady in his position as football coach.
Good and Weir are still with the University a
situation that shows that perhaps tenure means
something at NU and Clark, a name that is prob
ably totally unfamiliar to the incoming freshman,
has departed for a warmer climate after jobs as both football coach
and athletic director. Poor Bill is almost forgotten. Modern athletics
is something like royal succession in England . . . The coach is gone,
long live the coach.
All these new people by the names of Orwig, Elliott, Bush and
Sevigne seem to be doing a good job even though they are all for
eigners and non-natives. Many a grad's heart has. been warmed by
our new football coach's reference to the Cornhusker football tradition.
He and Ellsworth DuTeau should get together. What Pete Elliott
lacks in knowledge of the Scarlet's past, he makes up in appreciation
and what Mr. DuTeau lacks in participation, he compensates for in
enthusiasm.
If Oklahomans, or Okies as they are called derisively after the
Sooners regularly trounce the Huskers, can appreciate and improve
Cornhusker tradition, then perhaps the Husker archives will contain
records of great men and teams of the future and present as well as
the past.

Dec. with an Invitational meet at
Chicago. Their next outing was a
league tilt against the same Wild
cats. The Huskers emerged vic
torious from the affair.
For the Huskers, they have one
of the finest gymnasts in the coun
try. Senior Bruce Riley, a two-
y e a r letterman, single-handed
placed KU in ninth place in the
NCAA affair. He also won the Ail

Off And Running:
Thinclads Meet Bisons In
Third Indoor Track illeef
By BILL ROSS
Sports Staff Reporter.
The University entertains Colo
rado in a dual meet under the east
stadium Saturday with the running
events starting at 2:30 p.m.
It is the second meeting of the
two teams indoors which means
that all marks of the 1953 dual
stand as records. Bernie Randolph,
Husker pole vaulter, who cleared
13-lOy to beat Miller of Kansas
State has the inside lane to better
the meet record of 13-1 posted by
Jim Hofstetter and Dennis Ploos
ter in the 1953 dual.
The shot record of 48-9 also
seems destined to fall as Ken
Reiners has consistently bettered
that mark this season.
Other current marks in ieoo-
ardy are the mile run (4:32) set
by Clayton Scott N). the Wo mile
run (10:01.8) by Barlow (C). the
880 yard run (2:03) held by Clark
(L), ana the 440 yard run (51.6)
by Brien Hendrickson (N).
Coach Frank Potts, betrinninc
his 29th consecutive year as Colo
rado co a c h, has 10 lettermen
among the travelers. Hurdler Fritz
Hageboeck and pole vaulter Stew
Walder head the returnees.
Both are defending conference in
door champions. Hageboeck won
the high hurdles at Kansas City a
year ago; Walker got a first place
tie in the vault.
Among other veterans exoected
to improve Colorado's track for
tunes this year are distance run
ners Jim Funk, Rich Peck and
Jim Wyatt and high jumper Terry
Berg. However, it is generally con
ceded that any major improve
ment shown by the Buffs will de
pend upon the showing by sopho
more crop.
