Husker

Shooting
Back To Nip NU;
Off In 70-61 Ti!
By RON SHAHEE.V
Staff Sports Writer
Paced by the tremendous floor
gamt of little Harvey Austin Pur
due overcame a six-point Nebras
ka half-time lead to nip the Husk
crs 70-61, Saturday night.
The score was somewhat deceiv
ing as the game was a nip-and-tuck
battle right down to the final
two minutes when Purdue explod
ed for seven points against the
frantic Huskers. During the first
half the lead changed 10 times
and the score was tied six times.
It was hustle alone that account
ed for the Nebraska 39-33 inter
' mission lead as the Huskers hit
on only 15 of 48 field goal at
tempts. The Bushmen were even
colder in the second half as they
baggd only eight of 33 field shots.
Purdue Outplayed
In the first half the Huskers
clearly outplayed the visitors and
bad they been able to hit for a
more accurate percentage it would
have been a different story entire
ly. The Huskers pulled down more
than their share of rebounds but
sadly enough only points count in i
the final score. At one point in
th first half Nebraska had seven
straight shots at the basket with
out losing the ball and yet they
failed to tally.
The Boilermakers came roaring
back in the last 20 minutes as
they outscored Nebraska 37-22. The
Huskers managed to hold on to
their slim lead until the final few
minutes of the game when Pur
due's Ed McCormiek cashed in on
a long set shot that gave the Boil
ermakers a lead they never lost.
It was then that Austin took charge
as Purdue played control ball for
the remainder of the game. Aus
tin's dribbling antics forced the
desperate Huskers to go for the
ball which allowed the little Pur
due play maker to flip, to one of
his teammates setting up an easy
two-pointer. It was Austin's two
' free throws with only 45 seconds
remaining that broke Nebraska's
back.
Fouls Hurt
Both teams were hurt by fouls
as a total of 42 infractions were
called 23 on Nebraska and 19 on
Purdue. Willie Fitzpatrick and
Gary Reimers of Nebraska along
with Bob Fehrman of Purdue were
forced to leave the game on fouls
in the closing seconds of the hec
tic last half.
Little Gary Reimers again
chipped in with a fine game as
he played his usually great floor
game along with bagging 21 points

Amateur Basketball
The announcement by Wilt Chamberlain that he hopes to play
a year of amateur basketball after graduation in order to be eligible
for the 1960 Olympics, made me curious to see how much competition
the "Stilt" would have in a league such as the National Industrial
Basketball League.
It seems that practically all ardent basketball fans know that the
KTBL exists, but most of them have only a vague conception of how
' the league operates and who are some of the college stars participat
ing in it. '
SIX TEAM LEAGUE '.
The National Industrial Basketball League consists of six teams:
Phillips 66ers, Denver D-C Truckers. Peoria Cats, Akron Goodyear
Wingfoots, Wichita Vickers and the Kansas City Chamber of Com
merce. The Kansas City club is the new addition to the league and is
coached by Gene Johnson, one-time U.S. Olympic coach who directed
tba Wichita Vickers to second place in the league the past two seasons.
The league is in its 11th year of operation. Solons have added a
fresh set of playing rules and s commissioner as well as a new club.
Don Rossi, Dallas businessman and one-time U.S. Air Force athletic
director is the new commissioner.
Rossi's prime objective is to expand the leagues Midwest opera
tion to eight teams and to lay the groundwork for the establishment
cf NIBL divisions in other sections.
This season the clubs will be playing the 48-minute game made !
popular by the pros. Involved in the new game are the six-foul rules '
and the 24-second clock, which the league has used for two years.
Many Stars I
Among the many collegiate stars who have gone over to the NIBL
are:
Phillips 66ers: Chuck Darling Uowa), Jim Buchanan (Nebraska),
wim uucnanan UNeDrasKai, Burdy Haldorson (Colo
rado), Bill Hougland (Kansas), Jim Ranglos
(Colorado), Grady Wallace (South Carolina) and
Gary Thompson (Iowa State).
Denver D-C Truckers: Terry Rand ( Marquette ,
Dick Gunder (Alabama). Ron Bennink (Washing
ton State), Jerry Vayda (North Carolina), Bill
Logan (Iowa), George Bon Salle (Illinois), Harv
Schmidt (Illinois) and Tom Steinke (Brigham
Young).
Peoria Cats: Brother Dean (Kansas). BVil
Johnson (Nebraska), Rube Schulz (Marquette) and
