Nebraska fought off a late rush
by the Missouri Tigers last night
at the Coliseum to win their third
conference game of the season.
The final score w as 53 to 49
after Nebraska had led 41-32 with
12:51 left in the game.
Nebraska now has a 3-3 confer
ence record and moves into fourth
place in the Big Seven ahead of
Missouri. The Tigers are now 3-5
in conference play.
Both teams were very sluggish
throughout the entire contest. Ne
braska, in defeating Missouri for the
third time this season, trailed only
0-2 early in the game but never
gained more than a six point lead
until the second half. Missouri
gained a tie at 12-12 with nine min
utes left in the first period but
couldn't get closer than one point
thereafter.
The halftime score was 29-26.
The second half started out slow
but Nebraska finally stretched its

Thinclads have arrived...
Watching Saturday's track meet
brought back memories of past
Husker squads who use to get
beat more often than not.
It was a trememdous thrill to
see a full house 6f spectators and
to watch a favored Nebraska
quad run true to form.
Keith Gardner, Bob Elwood, Bill
Hawkins and Larry Gausmann
were sensational. The fans are
beginning to look for Gardner's
greeting after each race he wins
and if the Jamaican flash keeps
going at his present pace, he'll
be doing a great deal of waving.
Ken Pollard, sophomore pole
vaulter, shows a great deal of po
tentiality and should help the
Huskers in his event.
The track squad, as a whole,
shows very good balance and
could be one of the top teams at
the Big Seven indoor meet at
Kansas City next month.
Jay hawks have arrived...
The campus is still buzzing
about the terrific Kansas quintet
that dropped our Cornhuskers last
weekend.
Wilt Chamberlain and Ronnie
Xoneski's names have been on
everyone's lips. Looking ahead for
a moment, it appears that the
J ay hawks have great potential for
several years to come.
In addition to Chamberlain and
L o n e s k i, Dick Harp has soph
mores Bob Billings, Blaine Hollin
ger and Lynn Kindred to form the
nucleus of next year's squad.
Cotter Leads Way:
University 'Tankers' Sharp
Coach Hollie Lepley 'Optimistic
By STAN WIDMAN
. Staff Sports Writer
One of the better varsity teams
. en campus is the Husker swim
ming squad coached by Hollie Lep
ley. The tankmen are currently sport
ing a four win, three loss record
in dual meets and appear to have
the strongest swim team in a good
many years.
One of the main reasons for the
squad's success has been the ex
cellent swimming of Carl Boden
steiner, junior in Engineering
from Lincoln. Carl scored a double
in the recent meet with Colorado
State winning the 220 and 440 yard
free style events. Bodensteiner has
been scoring with regular consis
tency in every match this year. His
wins include the 440 yard freestyle
against Kansas State, in their sec
ond meeting and both the 220 and
440 yard free style in their meet
ing. Bodensteiner will certainly be
a help to Lepley next year.
Another reason for the Husker
success has been the diving of
Gene Cotter and Bill Tagney. These
boys have staged a brilliant dual
all year finishing one-two in the
first three meets. Cotter's big win
the season came last Saturday at
the triangular meet in Boulder,
Colorado against Colorado and
Utah.
Tagney won the first two diving
events of the year and was picked
as Star of the Week for his per
formances. These wins were over
Grinnell College, and Kansas State.
Cotter has won five straight meets,
his wins coming over Iowa State,
end in the triangular meet.
Not to be overlooked is Jerry
Farrell, Sophomore in Arts & Sci
ences from Hastings. Farrell pro
duced the only win for the Husk-

result of six charity tosses by Ron

Then the tide turned, Sonne Sie

a pair of quick jump shots and
the gap was narrowed to four
points. Then Lyle Nannen hit two

lead was stretched to eight.

Adding Monte Johnson, Gary

a few members of the freshman
squad, you come up with a pretty
fine unit.
Kansas sportswriters were very
compliemtary towards Billings.
They claim that he is the only
man on the K.U. squad who can
repeatedly get the ball into Cham

All in all, it looks like the Jay
hawks will be very successful in
basketball for a few years to
come.

Coach John Jacobs, Oklahoma's
homespun track coach, brings his
always tough Sooner track club to
Lincoln next Saturday for an indoor
dual with Nebraska.
Although the outlook is only fair
this year for Oklahoma track pros
pects, Jacobs boasts eleven letter
men including Robert Derrick who
tied the world record of 6.7 seconds
in the 60 yard low hurdles in the
Big Seven Conference meet in 1955.
Other outstanding lettermen in
clude Phil Frazier who finished sec
ond in the 60 yard high hurdles in
the 1955 Big Seven conference in
door meet in Kansas City, Jim Mc
Slarrow who is a string contender
for top laurels in the 440, Bill
Pritchett, a junior, also in conten
tion for the 440 championships, Gary
Parr who is making a strong come
back after coming down with gland
ular fever last spring and Ji m

and Dan Erwin.
The Sooners ended their 1956 sea
son with a one and one record, beat-
breast stroke and he has produced
three wins including a double
against Kansas State. His top
performances came during the tri
angular meet. Although he didn't
win, he placed second in the 200
yard butterfly and third in the 200
yard breast strike against the much
tougher competition.
Certainly, a major share of the
credit should go to Hollie Lepley
who has been the driving force
behind the team all year.

However, Oklahoma placed second
to Kansas in the indoor champion
ships in Kansas City last year.
Coach John Jacobs and his track
men also had to settle for a second
place finish to Kansas in the out
door finals last spring.
Jacobs has been track coach
in Soonerland for the past 35 years,
and has developed standouts who
have performed in meets through
out the world including the Olymp
ics at Melbourne.
Jacobs also became a recog

he was regarded as one of the na

coaches.
Assisting Jacobs is Bill Carroll
who was the Big Seven indoor and
outdoor pole vault champion in
1950.
All in all, the Sooners promise
to invade Lincoln with a powerful
frontline squad, but lack depth.
With several boys who finished high
in the Big Seven Conference champ
ionships last year, and in duals this
year, the Sooners will be able to
give the Huskers a battle.

Chamberlain Leads Kansas Scorers
In Big Seven Conference Scoring
Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas and
