This is the fourth year that Eyen has been named to some honorary intramural football team. Eyen was a dangerous passed at any time; he could also run and block. Right behind Eyen in the back field is Chuck Jensen. Jensen sparked Hitchcock House to the Selleck Quadrangle championship. Jensen was also a triple-threater. Rounding out the backfield is Dick Cory. Cory was the one bright spot for Gustavson II. His play threw many a scare into some cf the better teams. Up front are four fine linemen. Wayne Copee, a member of the Fif Afmm Aft ULA By BOB WIRZ Staff Sports Writer Jim Kubacki and Don Smidt have been chosen by the Nebras- kan as the first winter" "Stars of the Week" for their fine play in the two contests against UCLA last week end. The two juniors led the scoring parade for Nebraska in those games. Little "Kuba" netted 16 points Friday night as Jerry Bush's crew dropped a 69-56 deci sion. He was, as usual, hitting on his two-handed over the head shot from 25-30 feet out. Kubacki also played an outstanding floor game r ' M4. 1 1 ' S;::;: :::: '- II k f'J ill f Kubacki Courtesy Lincoln Star Smidt and was continually bothering the Uclan's on defense as well as on offense.- ' A S'10" 154 pounder from To ledo, Ohio, Kubacki is one of the ,'; squad's hardest workers. He plays ' ; basketball almost every day wheth er in season or not trying to im prove his shooting and ball hand!' ing ability. Lut year as a sophomore Jim teamed with Gary Reimers at the guard posts as he is this year and they did a very commendable job Kubacki hit for 223 points last season and was one of four play ers who participated in all 23 con tests. His point total was fourth on the team which won only seven of their games. Bush plans on Kubacki for a lot of action this season. The play- maker of the squad, Kubacki is well liked by the fans for his out side shooting and ball handling Kubacki, who also was outstand- ing in high school, is in teachers college at the university and will probably coach after graduation Kubacki doubles in the spring as a baseball infielder on Tony Sharpe's Cornhusker nine. He is very good defensively and has a good batting eye., He can play second or short equally well and at times last season even saw ac tion in the outfield. A fine student, he is liked well by everyone. Kubacki is one of four basket ball squadsmen from Ohio. George Swank, Jim Arwood, and Ron Par sons also hail from Ohio. Smidt, who like Kubacki was starter last season, led the Husk era in the second game at Los Angeles as he scored 22 points From The Sports editor: g If" By WALT BLORE I Th rrtmhnskflr race sauad started the home season off with m : I 4U..

Bush has assembled a well-balanced team, most of whom are un derclassmen. The first two teams have only three seniors which means that if all the members of the outstanding frosh team return, the Huskers will be a team to be feared in the conference. Improvement Everywhere Not only was the all-over team play improved, the spirit of the fans, especially the students was a good sign. Not long ago, this column blasted the student body as being fair weather followers.. The sports editor of the Lincoln Journal also com mented on it in a State of the Union article concerning Nebraska foot ball fortunes. If Monday night's spirit was an indication of things to come, then Cornhuskers everywhere will be able to point with pride to the entire school and not just the athletic teams. While the subject of school spirit is being discussed, it might be worthwhile to mention this report that came from Oklahoma. A Cornhusker footballer told this corner that the night before the Nebraska game, the Oklahoma pep squad rounded up the entire foot ball team, the band, and the pep organizations for a pep rally that ws attended by less than 100 students. Bud Wilkinson must be quite a psychologist! Full Schedule The winter sports teams swing into the campaign in the near future for another season of desire. The desire stems from the fact that the athletes have nothing else but the love of the sport attract them to the teams. . In spite of this, the Husker wrestling, swimming, gymnastics and indoor track teams are expected to improve on their last year's per formance. The only team that suffered heavy losses was the swim team. Hollie Lepley reportedly has been tearing out his hair due to losses from in eligibility and the armed forces. If you recall, last year the team was composed of all underclassmen, and all hands were expected back. But this fall found three lettermen not on the University rolls. , However, Lepley is his usual optimistic self and the Husker tank team will undoubtedly give a good account of itself. Don Strashelm welcomes back four lettermen and several prom ising sophomores fo the mat squad. The team had to pass up an early dual before Christmas because of conflicting plans. The first match is Jan. 10 at Mankato State Teachers. Marsh Nelson, 123 pound grappler has the distinction of having met the best in bis class. Dick Delgado, Oklahoma 123 man, pinned Nelson in the first round of last winter's Big Seven Meet. At last report, Delgado had advanced to the quarter-finals of the Olympics. Another Oklahoman, Dan Hodge, is also a member of the Olympic mat squad and has been doing quite well. Inrramurals The intramural football season closed several weeks ago, but due to the advertisers it was some time before the news of the champion ship game reached the readers. The All-Intramural selections will be presented during the week with the All-University team to be featured on Friday. Many of the independent teams failed to turn in their all opponent teams and as a result the selection of independents has to be done by guess. All it took was about five minutes of time to write down 14 names on a piece of paper and turn the names in to the Nebrftskan office. Due to a lack of playing fields,- there were less men participating than before. There was no B league this year. If the situation is to con tinue, one could.consider increasing the size of the teams to nine men. Five linemen and four backs might produce more blockers and more runs. The change would be for the good. He scored 10 the first night and did a very good job of rebound ing on both occasions. Smidt who hails from Helena, Montana, is deadly with his set shooting from the outside and can maneuver very well under the bas ket. Coach Bush depends on "Smitty" quite a bit for both his rebounding and scoring power. At times the 6'4" 185 pounder cannot be stopped as he has a deadly eye for the hoop. Smidt proved himself as a soph omore when he scored 247 points in 23 games. At this time there was a bigger burden on his shoul der as the team was without a good big man. This season , with Ron Parsons showing much promise he should be able to re lax more and therefore be a bit more consistent. Smidt is also a fine student and is enrolled in Pre-Dentistry. Kubacki and Smidt also played large roles in last night's Husker victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kubacki scored 13 ooints and did an excellent Job of ball handling while Smidt added 7 points and was one of the top rebounders in the contest. Smidt came to Nebraska with very high recommendations and has proved to be every bit as good as expected. Although now resid ing in Montana, Smidt was already familiar with Nebraska as he was born in Hastings and lived there for the early years of his life. These two Huskers will be in action next on Saturday night when Nebraska entertains Michi gan at the Coliseum. Bush may call on his starting five for near iron man roles in this contest as the Wolverines will nossihlv h the best team Nebraska has met so far this season. Michigan is led by All-American football and bas- Ketoail player Ron Kramer. The Star of the Week award will be presented to some out standing Husker athlete each week this winter.

Mac Lean finished second in Selleck League play. "Squeak" Allen is at the other flank. He was on the receiving end of many of Eyen's passes. He was also a thorn in the opponent's offense. At center is Larry Wenzl. Larry regularly played end, but is shifted to center because of the brilliant play of the other ends. Larry is a former All Stater from Beatrice. At the guard position is Warren Houfek. Houfek was a stalwart on both offense and defense.

Conference Activity: Big Seven Teams Down In Monday's Successful The Big Seven warmed up for what should be a torrid confer ence race back of Kansas' titans by snagging 4 of 4 nonconference games Tuesday night. Nebraska led the parade with a 67-43 decision over Iowa's Hawk eyes, last year's NCAA runners up. It will be a long time before Coach Bucky Conners charges re peat their high national standing if their NU performance is any indication.

Elsewhere, Iowa State took their second straight decision. 92-73 over Houston, to save the blistered Iowa State athletic situation some what. Little Gary Thompson, 5'10" oi court dynamite, pumped in 35 points for Iowa State. At the other end of the height scale, Wilt "The Stilt" Chamber. lin lead Kansas past Northwest ern with a rollicking 52 points. Wilt, billed as the answer to Bill Russell, lived up to-all advance ratings. Kansas State, last year's con ference champs, got into the swine of things with a close 90-84 vic tory over Texas Tech.
