Huskers Invade- Kansas
Face Wilt And Friends
By BOB MARTEL
Sports Editor
The Nebraska Cornhuskers face
the unpleasant task of playing the
Kansas Jayhawks on their home
court tomorrow evening.
The Bushmen will invade Phog
Allen Fieldhouse to face the team
that beat them 69-54, two weeks
ago here in Lincoln.
The Jayhawkers led by their
sensational center Wilt Chamber
lain, are ranked number two na
tionally by both wire services.

11 points against Oklahoma, has

received, great deal of help late
ly from sophmore forward Ron
Loneski. In the Oklahoma game,
L o n e s k i took up the slack by
pumping in 28 points.
Should Nebraska upset the high
ly touted Kansans, it could set up
a Big Seven Championship game
Owhen Kansas meets Kanr State
at Manhattan on March 6.
Dick Harp will face the Huskers
with a starting team of Loneski
and Gene Elstun at the forwards,
Chamberlain at center and Mau
rice King -and John Parker at the
guards.
Chamberlain is currently fourth
nationally in scoring averaging
some 29 points per game.
Wilt has been staging a real
battle for scoring honors with
Chet- Forte of Columbia and Grady
Wallace of South Carolina. Wal
lace is currentfy the leader in
this see-saw battle.
Loneski who was injured during
most of the early part of the sea
son has come back strong to give
Harp adde insurance in case
Chamberlain should be stopped.
Only a sophmore, Loneski re
placed last year's pivot man Lew
Johnson, who had trouble making
the change from center to for
ward.
Elstun is also among the Con
ference scoring leaders and is
deadly with his one hand jump
shot from the corner. ,
King and Parker give Kansas
two of the better backcourt men
in the Big Seven. Parker a terrific
ball handler is the field general
of the Jayhawks. His job is to
get the ball in to Chamberlain and
that he does. King is a dead shot
from the outside and makes it
tough for KU opponents to con
verge on Chamberlain. Triple
teaming Wilt means leaving King
open for one of his deadly set
shots. This strategy has been ef
fective all season in keeping Jay-
hawk opponents from using a set
defense.
Nebraska will probably chal
lenge Kansas with Rex Ekwall
and Don Smidt at the forwards,
Ron Parsons at center and Gary
Reimers and Lyle Nannen at the
guards.
Ekwall, captain of the Huskers,
played one of his finer games Mon
day night against x Kansas State.
A terrific team player, Ekwall is
approaching the career scoring
mark of Jim Buchanan and should
set a new record before the season
ends.
Reimers, whose scoring has
fallen off the last few games, is
expected to quarterback the Ne
braska quintet.
It was Reimers outstanding scor
ing ability that made it possible
for the Huskers to comprise the
best record they have ever had
under Jerry Bush.
KU Pole Vculter

Stripping the process of details,
there are two reasons Dave Tarns
has become the first 14-foot Pole
Vaulter in aKnsas history (1) A
new-found swingup and (2) a
complete set of false teeth.
The latter, perhaps, is foremost.
The muscled Kansas senior has
worn the plates almost a full year,
and is so happy with them he
wouldn't have his naturals "even
if they were in good shape. ,J
"Does it help me to have 'em
out," exclaims Tarns. "How would
you like to have a toothache all
the time even when you were
vaulting. I can't remember when
I could stand to drink anything
hot or cold. Now I can eat steak
and chew-up ice cubes."
Face Colorado Teams:
Cornhuskers Visit Rockies
Swimmers, Gymnasts Travel
By STAN WIDMAN,
Staff Sports Writer
The Swimmjng and Gymnas
tics teams are heading towards
the Rocky Mountains for several
dual meets with Colorado foes.
The tankers will be opposing
Colorado A&M today at Fort
Collins. Coach Hollie Lepley ex
pressed optimism at his teams
chances but said the meet should
be extremely close.
Lepley will be relying on sev
eral of the top swimmers to
f come through with needed victor
ies. Gene Cotter and Bill Tagney,
running one-two all season in the
diving event will be out to dupli
cate their feat. Carl Bodensteiner
will be another Husker carrying a
big load on his shoulders. Ti e
former Star of the Week will be
seeking double victories in the 220
and 440 yd. freestyle events. Bill
North who has been giving Boden
steiner close races all year, beat
ing him on several occasions,
shoukl provide a double punch to
both of the events.
Jerry Farrell and Ron Renfer
close all year in the 50 yd. and
100 yd. freestyle events should give
the Aggies all the trouble they
can handle. Charlie Arizumi will
be trying to pull another victory
in the 200 yd. backstroke. He has
been swimming well at this event
all year.
Fritz" Helmsdorphter should be
in top form for the 200 yd. breast
stroke and butterfly. Other men
being counted upon by Lepley
will be Doug Thorpe, relays, Jim
Pokorney, breaststroke and re
lays, and John Holeman, relays.
The Gymnasts will probably
have their hands full also as they
journey t to Colorado A&M for a
dual meet Friday and to Boulder
for a triangular meet with Colo
rado U. and the Air Force Acade
my, Saturday.
Coach Jake Gier will be placing
his main hopes on. Wayne Strictler
and Ervin Krist, his' top point get-
ters. Strictler specializes in the
flying rings, parrallel bars," hori
zontal bars and free , exercise
events. Krist, former star of the
week, is one of the top trampoline
men in the country. In addition
to the tramp, he performs well
in the gunroling, parrallel bars,
flying rings and the free exercise
events.
Anottier steady point man has
been Bob McDonald His events
are the parrallel bars, the side
horse- and the horizontal bar.
Kenny Kohler has been the stal
wart on the side horse while Don
Ellis has contributed in the free
exercise, horizontal bar, flying
rings, tumbling and the trampo
line. The Husker gymnasts will be
trying for their fifth and sixth
wins of the season as against one
loss. s

trouble in doing so as Kansas
State boasts the talents of many
returning lettermen coupled with
many promising sophomores.
One of these sophomores is Tom
Rodda .who hustled through,' the
mile distance in 4,19 in a meet
at Chicago last weekend. The Wild
cat thinclad will cope with Nebras
ka's Bob Elwood, winner of all but
one of his running events, in the
one mile distance as well as the
two mile run."
An interesting point- to note in
the records between the two schools
is that no records have fallen since
1953. Five of ts marks have ex
isted since the 1930's and two of the
12 records have stood since in
the early 1940's.
Although no records have fallen
for the last three years, at least
one of the marks has a good pos
sibility of being broken. The record
is the :07.5 mark held since 1940
by Bill Smutz in the high obstacle
sticks. Keith Gardner, stellar sprint
er from Jamaica, promises to out
the mark, under fire. Keith has
spun over the high hurdles in
-.07.4 in the meet against Okla
homa. Two other records could be test
ed when the Jamaican sprinter
tries to better the marks in the
60 yard dash and the 60 yard
low hurdles. Both these records
were set by Heye Lambertus in
1933 and 1932 respectively. Keith
has to speed the 60 yard distance
in under :06.1 and the 60 yard
lows in under :06.8 to rewrite the
record book in either event.
The shot put group was bolstered
by the addition of Marlin Hild
ing, football end, to put even more
strength in the Husker thinclad
crew. Marlin has been putting
around 43 feet with his early ef
forts. Returning competitors from last
year's meet when the Wildcats
downed the Seveigne group 54V4
49 are:
Mile run: Bob Elwood (N), tie
for first place; Jesse Unruh (KS)
third. - -
60 yard dash: Dolan McDaniel
(KS) second; Gene O'Connor (KS)

880 yard run: Jesse Unruh, first;

The meet will be held at the

Lincoln High Defends:
Nebraska Prep Swimmers
Clash For. Championships

Daily Nebraskan Sports Reporter
The Nebraska State High School
Swimming meet will get under
way Saturday, February 23, at the
Lincoln Public Schools Activity
Building. The championships, this
year, are under thedirection of the
Nebraska swimming mentor sHollie
Leply. - v (
Teams entered in this year's
competition ir. .hide the 1956 champ
Lincoln High, Hastings who was
runner up to the Links last year,
Lincoln Northeast, Creighton Prep,
Boystown, Lincoln Southeast, Oma
ha Central, Omaha Tech, and Has
tings St. Cecilia, a newcomer to
this year's attraction.
High school swimming has be
come a popular activity as far as
competitive sports are concerned
here In the Cornhusker state. This
season there have been close to
twice as many dual swim meets
scheduled among Nebraska high
schools than in any other year.
Furthermore, the increased inter
est is showing results in the better
time's being set by the swimmers.
Harry Kuklins' Lincoln swimmers
finished the season having the best
dual meet record in the state. The
Links posted double victories over
Boystown, Omaha Tech Northeast,
Southeast, and split with Hastings.
Lincoln is favored to retain the
championships again this year.
Many of the pool and meet rec
ords have been broken or equaled
by several of the participants this
year. Also numerous state meet
marks have been bettered.
Larry Converse of Lincoln, Bill
Champlin of Hastings and Bob
Anderson of Lincoln have topped
the 100 yard free style record of
:55.7 set by Converse last year.
The Lincoln High relay team ol
Herb Kuster, and Converse have
beaten the (200 yard free style re
lay time of 1:43.6 set in 1938 by
Omaha Tech.
All in all, this years' meet which
begins in the morning and termi
nates with the finals at three p.m.,
promises to provide a day of top
flight swimming competition not
only for the participants, but for
the spectators as well.
Cornhusker swimming fans
should be interested in this meet
as many of the high school partici
pants will be wearing the uniforms
of Hollie Lepley's mermen in the
very near future.

Chance Vought offers
the graduate engineer a wide
range of opportunity
lHltfK Bixler knows how variety helps the young engineer find
a career field that suits him best. In Chance Vought's missile and
fighter activities, he discovered every specialty he'd considered in
school. He found others'he hadn't known existed. Vought measured
him for all-these fields, and together they selected a perfect fit: struc
tures and preliminary design work, where Chuck has advanced to
lead engineer in about five years time. The same variety can be
found at Vought by graduates from every field of academic training.
Electrical, civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineers alike find a
rich selection of avenues for growth. Moreover, they find the guidance
they need to make a wise chdfce. Chuck, for example, was selected
for Chance Vought's nine-month program of job rotation. After
working in six different groups he gained a backlog ol experience
that has since proved invaluable. Frank counseling, a. versatile,
growing company everything that helped Chuck can help you.
As a starter, ask our campus representative to point out the special
ties you're qualified to enter. (You'll be surprised at the length of
the list.). Your Placement Office can arrange your appointment. Or
you may write for immediate information to Mr. C. A. Besio, Super
visor, Engineering Personnel Dept. CN-3, Chance Vought Aircraft,
Incorporated, Dallas, Texas.
Our representative will be in your Placement Office IFWnesoloy, February
27, to describe firsthand Chance Vought's program for young engineers
