Conference Action:
By GEORGE MOYER
Kebraskaii Sports Reporter
Nebraska used a spectacular per
formance by Rex Ekwall and in
spired play by his mates to come
within an ace of upsetting the heav
ily favored Missouri Tigers at Co
lumbia last night, 80-88.
The first half was nip and tuck
till the 13-minute mark when Mis
souri, sparked by 6'8" Chuck
Denny, who got 16 points the first
half, moved away to a 28-20 lead
But with 10 minutes to go in
tne first half, Ekwall came dy
namically to life, pushing in 17
points to lead a Nebraska come
back that moved the Huskers to a
five point, 43-38 lead two minutes
before the buzzer.
Missouri used buckets by
conference scoring leader, Norm
Stewart to struggle back to a 45
43 half time lead.
The second half found the Husk
ers still a red hot ball club. Coach
Jerry Bush gambled on big Terry
Howard as a replacement for foul
ridden Don Smidt and the "Butch
er" came through with a scrappy
performance under the boards and
three beautiful hook shots.
Ekwall started out to duplicate
his first half play, but he accumu
lated his fourth foul with 17 long
minutes still to go and was forced
THE NEBRASKAN
r
to ride the bench a good share of
the second half.
Even so, he managed 9 points
ana when he finally fouled out with
a minute to go, Nebraska was
down only 85-78.
Nebraska hit for a sensational
51.5 per cent from the field the
first half apd cooled but little the
second. Missouri was deadlv from
the free throw stripe, converting 30
of 40, which eventually made the
difference in the score.
Ekwall's 26 points was the In
dividual high, followed by M i s
souri's Stewart with 24 and Denny
with 23. Charlie Smith eot 15 for
Nebraska and Don Smidt 12. Lio
nel SmiUi and Charlie Ross of Mis
souri got 19 and 18 respectively,
as Missouri used only six players.

In Overtime
It's jetting so Nebraska has
trouble winning basketball games
in two periods in fact the last two
the Huskers won, had to go into
overtime periods.
Last Saturday night the Bush
man captured a 64-63 victory at the
hands of the Oklahoma Sooners.
Earlier in the year, they downed
the Okies at Norman, 68-l, the
last conquest previous to Satur
day's game.
With over a minute left in the
regulation period, Coach Jerry
Bush instructed his cuintet to hold
on to the ball for a last-second shot
at the basket. The scoreboard
read 58-58. Kubacki performed an
excellent one-man stall by holding
the ball for over a minute near
mid-court.
In the overtime. Kueacki nut
the Huskers out in front with his
pet two-handed set shot to make
the score 60-58 in the Nebraskans'
favor.

Many upsets were pulled for some of the teams to be present at the

Omaha North upset the applecart in the AA district meet by upset
ting Omaha Central and Omaha Tech. Boys Town earned a trip to Lin
coln via an upset over Omaha South.
Tourney's purpose two-fold ...
Basketball fans in this area will get a chance to see some of the
future Nebraska players in action.
The tournament serves a dual purpose. The first one is to show
the finest competition and the 'desire to win. Players will be making
an all-out effort for the various trophies in the different classes.
However, another purpose is served during this three-day affair.
One of the most important points stressed in any prep athletic program
Is sportsmanship. Average rabid fan who goes out to see his
team win at any cost will laugh this off, but I feel that this is just as
important as the victory itself. In fact, it denotes a very important one.
There is a saying that is used in many locker rooms. It says A
good winner is one who holds his head high no matter what the out
come is.
My predictions . . .
Class AA Scottsbluff; Class A-Gering; Class B Chadron Prep;
glass C Geneva; Class D Springfield; Class E Tobias.
