After a two-w e e k vacation for
finals the Intramural basketball
league swung into full action last
week by completing the first round
cf play and some teams initiating
the second round.
On top of the 15 league standings

boasting a 9-0 won-loss record and
the A-Chemists of Independent
League 14 with the same standing.
Those teams with an 8-0 record
In the All-University competitivt
cage sport are the Beta T h e t a
Pi-B, the Newman Club of the In
dependent League 12 and the Park
Avenue basketeers of Independent
League 15.
Three teams are sporting a 7-0
mark which isnt good enough for
the lead in the All-University
standings but is still respective
enough for first place in these
team's own leagues. The three
teams are McLean House of 1A

Two. Stars of the Week have
keen nominated this time for their
top performances in the past week
by the Daily Nebraskan Sports
Staff. The two are Keith Gardner
who sped to three new records in
the meet with Colorado last Sat
urday and Carl Bodensteiner,
who led Hollie Lepley's tankmen
to a win over Colorado State re
cently with a win in the 220 free
style event.
Gardner, modest winner of the
60 yard dash, and 60 yard high
and low hurdles, hails from Ja
maica. He recently returned from
the Olympics where he captained
the Olympic Jamaican team. He
himself, was unable to place in
any of the events because of pain
ful leg and stomach injuries re
ceived in pre-game trials. Although
Keith received none of the laur
els received by some athletes, he
did gain the distinction of being
the first competitor of the games
to announce his engagement. His
fiance, pretty Julie Mary Scott,
was in the personnel department
at the Olympic Village.
In the first two track meets
cf the season for Nebraska, Keith
won everything he ran. In the first
meet which was with Iowa State,
the speedster from Jamaica, tied
three dual marks in his respec
tive distances and against Colo
rado his performance was outstand
ing. He broke the marks in the
60 yard dash, the 60 yard high and
the 60 yard low hurdles. .. His
times were :06.2, ;07.5, and :07.0
respectively. If he keeps up his
present pace the ace performer

of 3A Fraternity League and Delta
Upsilon of the 10 C Freshmen
League.
In the Ag College 11 League the
Ag Vets have one loss but have
established nine wins in maintain
ing their impressive record.
In League I A of Selleck com
petition MacLean and Bessey are
fighting for the lead position. Mac
Lean is presently leading the
league with an unblemished rec
ord of 7-0 but the Bessy crew is
trailing only slightly with a 6-1
mark.
In the 3 A Fraternity League
the squad on the top of the
scramble are the men of the Phi
Delt cage team, who at present
are boasting a 7-0 record and have
now entered into their second
round of competition.
Sigma Chi is in the second posi
tion with a 5-1 mark. Three
teams are tied for third position
in this league boasting a 4-3 rec
ord. They are the hard court
teams of Sigma Nu, Beta Theta
promises to rewrite the record
books in every meet or at least
make additions to each one.
The other Star of the Week
Award goes to the deserving, Carl
Bodensteiner who recently scored
Courtew Lincoln Star
GARDNER
a win in the 220 yard freestyle
event at Colorado State. The young
Lincolnite is practically winning
every race in which he is entered.
Carl has won the 440 yard free
style against Kansas State and
both the 220 and 440 yard free
style in the second meeting of the
same two teams. His win against
Colorado State is the last of his
wins to the present time but his
outstanding performance promises
more wins in the rest of the Husk-
exhibition race of 660 yards.
Joe Mullins, Mike Fleming, Ken
Ash, Bill Melody, and Rick Mc
Vickers will be the participants.
The National AAU handbook does
not list an official world's record
for the 660 yard distance indoors,
but; under "Noteworthy" Track
Performances" does list the best
times recorded at odd distances.
The record for the 650 indoors
is 1:21.2, set by Jake Driscoll,
former Boston College great, in
Buffalo, New York on April 14,
1923.
Sevigne feels that one of his
freshmen in likely to erase that
mark from the br-oks.
Six weeks ago in a workout,
Mullins sped the distance in 1:23.

Hitchcock, MacLean, and Bessey !
Houses of the Selleck Hall 7 B
League are making an interesting
race out of the dorm scramble.
Hitchcock is now leading with a
6-1 mark but the other two teams"
are pressing closely with each
sporting 5-2 records.
The Delta Upsilon freshmen
cagers could very easily coast to
a championship in their league.
They are leading the rest of the
freshmen pack with a 7-0 record
with the rest of the houses in that
competition fighting keenly for the
remaining six places in that
league.
Going out to the Ag Campus we
find the Ag Vets leading their
league witti an impressive 9-1 rec
ord, although the Dudley Five,
9-2, and the Ag Huskers, 8-1, can
not as yet be counted out as con
tenders "for the title. Their is a

Carl was born and raised in Lin
coln. He started swimming when
he was a sophomore in high school
and has been practicing ever
since. In a telephone conversation
Carl stated that he was a very
unimpressive swimmer in high
school but managed to letter in
swimming during the last two
years he attended Lincoln High.

Iowa State Beaten,

Iowa State, ranked nationally by
both AP and United Press Polls
in basketball, was .tormented and
finally defeated by the Colorado
cagers Monday night. The Cyclones
led throughout the season by Gary
Thompson with their scoring punch.
j couldn't open the lid off the hoop
and suffered their fourth loss in
league play. Colorado, led by
guards Mowbray and Schroeder,
downed the favored Iowa S t a t e
team by a score of 59-53. The vic
tory improved the Buff's status in
the Big Seven standing by moving
them up to fifth place in the
league with a 3-4 mark for the
season.
By losing this game Iowa State
now has to be contented with shar
ing the third place position with
Nebraska, each sporting a .500 win
loss standing. Mowbray posted
their belt, Sevigne feels the boys
will be much shaper.
This special race should give the
fans an idea of the future status
of the thinclad squad.

In another conference game
held at Manhattan, Kansas, Mon
day night, the Kansas State Wild
cats gained a sweet revenge over
Oklahoma Sooners for two losses
suffered to them earlier in the
season. The Kansas cagers wal
loped the visiting Sooners 74-45
which proved no surprise with the
Kansas scoring punch. Led by the
huge Jack Parr at the center po
sition the Kansas club outscored
Oklahoma 28-6 in the second half
to complete annihilate the Sooner
club.
The win Was the fifth straight
which strengthened its hold on sec
ond place with a 5-2 record. Kan
sas State seems the only logical
contender to replace the Kansaf
University crew for first place in
the Big Seven loop, that is, if any
one is to do the deed:
Parr led Kansas with 21 points
while Joe King tallied 23 for the
Sooners.

The Sports Slant
By GARY
Sportswriters had an expression
for the effortless play of Joe De
Maggio as he covered centerfield
for the Yankees ten years ago.
They called the ease with which
he made plays in the outfield
"poetry in motion."
Saturday night another pro cov
ered the coliseum floor with that
same effortlessness. With no wast
ed motion, he could travel the dis
tance between the two free throw
lines in ten loping strides. He
played the backboards with ease
almost lazily picking off rebounds
as Nebraska often made no at
tempt to dispute his right to the
ball. The smoooth effortless style
Wilt Chamberlain exhibited Satur
day night was "poetry in motion."
The only true test of how good
as a basketball player a big man
actually is is professional basket-J
oau. it is no aiincutt task lor a
big man in high school or small
college basketball to stand near
the basket, take the constant feeds
of his teammates, and cram the
ball through the net.
He sets new scoring records, is
aclaimed by his fans and the sport
writers, and leads his team to the
championship. Bevo Francis is the
best example in recent years of
this type of player. He rose to
national fame by consistently scor
ing fifty points a game against
weak junior college opponents.
His coach loudly proclaimed
Bevo to be the greatest thing to
happen to basketball and finally
made a mint by selling Francis

On
Big Seven Conference champion
ship in 1949, are currently prep
ping for a dual with Iowa State
Teachers College at Cedar Falls
on Friday.
The Tutors are rated seventh
in the nation among college wrest
ling teams. It looks like Strasheim
will have his hands full again as
his grapplers face another nation
ally rated power. .
The Cornhsukers on March
eighth will face Iowa State, who
stand fourth among collegiate
wrestling squads in the country.
Nebraskan's presently sporting
an unimpressive one win and five
loss record, having lost to Minne
sota, Mankato State, Colorado
State, Colorado, Kansas State, and
beaten South Dakota State last
Saturday 26-8 for their lone victory.
However, the fighting morale of
.the Huskers has yet to be hurt,
since the boys are well aware of
the stiff competition they have
been facing.
There are only four lettermen
this year. They are Marshall
Nelson, 123 pounder from
Kimball, Jack Bryant, 147
FRENZEL
and nimself to the pros. Yet
Bevo had only one shot, a short
off-balance jump shot which could
easily have been stopped by a
good defensive man.
The big man is at more of a
disadvantage in big-time college
basketball. He must run, jump,
and develop more than one shot.
Height is no longer the only key
to winning as Oregon .found when
7'3" Swede Holbrook brought them
no championships though a lot of
publicity.
In pro ball, the big man is just
another man among men. He must
learn to run, to guard his man,
to dribble, to be able to shoot any
type of common shot well if he
expects even to stay in the league
long. He must develop a
special talent such as Neil John
son's hook shot, Bob Cousey's drib
bling and team play, or Bob Pet
tit's jump shot to become a star.
With this in mind, it was a
pleasure to watch the man whom
the pro's say can't miss becoming
the greatest player ever.
Wilt is using his apprenticeship
to the professional game well. He
is deadly with his free throws. He
took enough rough body contact
under the boards to make a foot
ball player wince. Only once did he
shake his wrist in pain as if to
say "All right boys, enough is
enough," and then the referees
didn't call a foul.
The Nebraska fan in front of me
stood up and with obvious glee
shouted "Oh, Wilt, so you're hu
man, tooo!"
Friday
who hails from Omaha; Bob Pick
ett, 167, Cheyenne, Wyoming and
Dan Brand, heavy weight, from
Bellevue. But promising sopho
mores such as Kenneth McKee,
Bob Weigel, Carl Jett, Norlin Coop
er, Jack Baum and John Ander
son are hoping to provide the Corn
huskers with a brighter future.
According to coach Strasheim,
wrestling standards have increased
in high schools so greatly that
college and universities are having
to offer wrestling scholarships to
these boys to maintain strong
teams. However, Nebraska at the
present time, has been unable to
give any financial aid tc prospec
tive wrestlers, whereas all of the
Cornhuskers opponents have been
able to do so.
Strasheim also serves as assistant
coach to Bill Jennings during the
football season. Don is rounding
out his third year as wrestling
mentor. When he attended the Uni
versity, Strasheim lettered in both
football and wrestling. The 27 year
old each grappled in both 167 and
177 pound classes in 1948 and 1949
which was when the Cornhuskers
took the Big Seven Championship.
One of the finest linemen in
Nebraska football history, Strash
heitn won a spot on the all Big
Seven team in 1950 and played an
important role in helping Nebras
ka to second place finish that year.
Don graduated in 1951 and earned
his masters degrees in Education
in 1953.
The matmen close out the sea
son against Iowa State Teachers
and Iowa State College from Ames.
After this they will go to Norman,
Oklahoma for the Big Seven Con
ference meet where the team will
face some classy wrestling from
last years national champs Okla
homa. The Starting lineup for the grap
plers this Saturday will probably
be Gil Nielsen, McKee, Gail Baum,
Cooper, John A-.derson, Bill La
Fluer, Jack Bryans and Dan
Brand.
