There is a possibility that there may be some personnel changes but it is more likely that the of fense will be revamped to get more scoring power out of the forwards and centers. Of this group only the veteran John Craw ford has kept his 1956 pace, rack ing up 261 points to rate second to Gary Thompson's 397. Thomp son, by the way, needs only 14 points to become the greatest of Iowa's major college scorers Thompson has 1175 points and is aiming at the 1188 career total set by Bill Logan of Iowa. Forward Chuck Vogt and center Don Medsker have each scored 143 points so far this season. Last year Vogt had 213 and Medsker 232 at this time. Thompson's running mate at guard Lyle Frahm is the number three Cyclone scorer for this sea son with 206 markers. Last season Frahm had only 74 an season. Also expected to see service for Strannigan's crew are 67" reserve center John Krocheski and for ward Gary Davis. Bush will prbably go with his starting five much of the way. Gary Reimers and Rex Ekwall continue to lead the Huskers in scoring. The 5 10 " Millard junior, has 229 points for a 13.4 average in 17 games. Ekwall is close be hind with 210 markers. Ekwall the competitive cagers. The most. outstanding of these teams is the A-Chemists of Independent League 14 who seem to be by far the best team in their league. These cagers, who were All-University cnamps last year, seem to De one of the top contenders for the same laurals this year .also. The tight race of all the Leagues seems to be the 4A Fraternity League where the top four teams still have a chance to come out on top of the heap.

Wrestlers Hit Road: Matmen, Swimmers, Gymnasts Face Top Foes On Weekend By STAN tVIDMAN Staff Sports Writer lnis weekend will again be a busy one for the wrestlers, swim mers and the gymnasts. Coach Don Strasheim will send his grapplers against Iowa State Teachers at Cedar Falls Friday. The boys will be trying for their second win of the season, the first coming at the expense of South Dakota State here in Lincoln last week. Strasheim's hopes will be in the hands of Don Brand, heavy weight who has shown much im provement in his last two matches, Ken McKee 130 pounds, who pinned his man last week and drew against Minnesota, and Gil Neilson 123 pounds, who has scored consistently all year. Others making the trip will be Jack Bryans, 177 pounds, John An derson 167 pounds, Norm Cooper, 157 pounds, and Gail Baum, 137 pounds. On Saturday, the Husker tank men will meet Minnesota in the Coliseum pool. Coach Hollie Lepley will base his hopes on the im proved swimming of Carl Boden steiner Bill North, Fritz Helms dorpher, Jerry Farrell and the last season form diving of Gene Cotter, winner of the last five meets. Coach Neil Thorpe of Minnesota will rely mainly on returning let ter winners Gerald Fladeland, breaststroke, Richard Hansel, div Harold's Barber Shop 223 No. 14th l'j .Blocks So.

TJiat feat is to blemish the record of the Husker thinclads who have as yet to be defeated. The Oklahoma crew will be re turning to Lincoln with Jim Denton, Bill Pnchett, Phil Frazier, Gary Parr, Dick Dudley, and George Church who are all returning vet erans who scored points in last year's meet. Jim Denton and Bill Prichett, who helped the Oklahoma mile re lay team to set a new record last year, are the only two record holders returning from either team. On the Husker side ol he pic ture, we find many of the thin clads capable of setting new re cords. Among these are Bob El wood, miler; Keith Gardener, hurdler and sprinter, who will have a race on his hands when he meets Phil Frazier in the high hurdles. Both men have sped the 60-yard distance under :07.5 which is the present record. Larry Gausman is another Husker capable of rewrit ing the record book in the high jump. Last week Larry jumped 6-3 to tie his old record but he will have to do better than 6-5 to better the record this week.
