Bush Again Calls On Bench
To Spark Fourth Win, 61-53
By GEORGE MOVER
Staff Writer
For the second game in a row
Jerry Bush reached into his great
pool of bench taient and came
out with a win over Ohio Uni
versity, 61-53.
The hero of the night was
Wayne Hester, sophomc-e md for
mer Lincoln Northeast star. Hes
ter hit five out of eigh shots, all
long beauties, to ruin the Ohio
one defense in the second half.
Till then it had been nip and
tuck. Nebraska, badly outrebound
ed under its own bucket, needed
Don Smidt's long set shot to hold
a slim 24-22 margin at intermis
sion. The Huskers started ou as if to
make the contest a runaway.
Smidt got the first pair with a
long jumper and a layup, but
Larry Williams, Ohio's peppy lit
tle guard, plunked a drive-in and
jumper to tie it after four min
utes. From there neither team
could gain much of an advantage.
Nebraska's longest lead was 16-13
with 8:44 left while Ohio had the
Huskers running 20-16 with 6:14
on the clock.
In the second half, the lead
changed hands three times and
the score was tied on nine dif
ferent occasions until Hester hit
a long set shot to put the Huskers
in the black for good with 10:01
Then the set shooting of Hes
ter, Lyle Nannen and Gary Reim
ers handed Nebraska a 50-46 lead.
Coach Bush called for a stall to
bring Ohio out of their tight zone
defense and the strategy worked
like the proverbial charm. Ohio
began to press and Reimers and
Nannen drove for easy buckets.
Reimers added a pair of free

On Loop Scholastic Squad
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Okla
homa's Orange Bowl-bound Soon
ers placed three men on the fourth
annual All-Big Eight Conference
Scholastic football team. The
unique selection was announced
here today by the American Peo
ples Encyclopedia.
Missouri and Colorado, who tied
for third place in the conference
behind Oklahoma and Kansas,
each contributed two players to
the "brains and brawn" battalion.
Every conference member was
represented.
Among the 11 honored players
are Marvin Johnson of Missouri
and Eddie Dove of Colorado
standouts have been named to the
conference's all-star team. Dove
led the Big Eight with the best
rushing average.
To be eligible fcr the team, Big
Eight gridders had to display top
classroom performances as well as
excellence on the gridiron.
In selecting the squad, the ency
clopedia editors confined their
studies to players making a "B"
average or better and also re
quired that they be first string
caliber at their respective schools.
Carroll Chouinard, editor of
American Peoples Encyclopedia,
6aid the Big Eight Conference hon
or team provides proof that brains
and brawn are good mixers.
"Football players, contrary to
popular opinion, are not only good
students, but in most cases, super
ior scholars," Chouinard pointed
out. "Again this year, the Big
Eight has presented more than
enough players to fill one team,
making an honorable mention list
necessary," he said.
The All-Conference Scholastic
team includes four education stu
dents, three in engineering and one
each in agriculture, finance, pre
dentistry and teachers' college.
Average 6190 lbs.
Football observers agree that
this squad of scholars would be
rugged against any opposition. The
members average six feet and
weight 190 pounds.
There are no repeaters from last
year's No. 1 All-Conference Schol
astic team. However, Mervin John
son of Missouri and Richard Cor
bin of Kansas State, who earned
honorable mention ratings in 1956,
gained top spots on this year's
squad.
Johnson, a senior in Agriculture,
was a co-captain of the Missouri
team and has been named to the
Blue team for the annual Blue
Cray battle Dec. 28. The 210-pound
tackle played both offense and
defense for the Tigers for two
straight seasons.
Corbin, a left-handed, passing
quarterback, has compiled the best
scholastic average of any team
member. He owns a 2.4 grade point
at Kansas State where A is equal
1-point.
He is on the Dean's List and is
majoring in Chemical Engineering.
But on the football field during
the past season, Corbin tossed 61
passes and completed 24 for 287
yards.
Dove averaged 6.7 yards per car
ry with Colorado the nation's top
rushing team. T.ne thin, junior
halfback carried 7S times for 530
yards and scored eight touchdowns,
ranking third in the league in scoring-
-., .
Dove, who is majoring m edu
cation and carries a B-pius av
erage, also completed six of eight
passes for 50 yards and caught
six forward passes for 168 yards.
Couk Named
Howard Cook, who ran at the
other halfback slot in the Col
orado backfield, joined Dove on
the All-Conference Scholastic team.
Cook, a B-plus student in Pre-den-
shots, and Willie Fitzpatrick a tip
in as the Huskers flamed to a
59-48 margin. There was 1:47 left
in the game and the pig was in

Reimers celebrated "Gary
Reimers Night" at the Coliseum
by leading Nebraska's balanced
attack with 12 points. Close behind
were Hester and Herschel Turner
with 11 apiece while Fitzpatrick
chipped in ten. Williams with 18
and Dave Scott with ten, mostly
on tip-ins, were the main Ohio
threats.
In the vital rebound department.
Ohio lead with 45. Nebraska got 38
but had the game's individual high
rebounder in Turner who got 16.
Hersch stands a mere 6' 2" but
in the words of Coach Jerry Bush,
"He did some flyin'."
Situation Classified
For those fans who confuse Ohio
State with Ohio University, Ohio
tistry, ranked third in rushing on
the Colorado unit.
Cook chalked up 344 yards in 81
gallops for a 4.2 average. He com
pleted nine of 15 passes for 191
yards and three touchdowns.
The fourth member of the Big
Eight backfield is William Hawk
ins, a senior from Nebraska. Hawk
ins, who is studying to be a teach
er, was Nebraska's best offensive

weapon. He is also captain of the
Cornhusker track team.
Oklahoma's Joe Rector, a top
pass catcher and a rugged defense
man, fills an end position along
with Dale Remsberg of Kansas.
Both Rector and Remsberg are
majoring in education. Rector is a
junior and Remsberg only a sopho
more. Conference observers feel
that Remsberg's outstanding play
helped the Jayhawks close the sea
son with four straight victories and
slip into second place in the final
conference listing.
The tackles on the All-Conference
Scholastic team are Johnson
and Doyle Jennings of Oklahoma.
Jennings is a B-plus student in
Education, majoring in History.
Both are seniors.
Bob Bird of Iowa State and
Joseph Oujesky of Oklahoma are
the guards on the "Dean's Team."
Bird, an engineering senior, won
plaud.ts as a crack blocking guard
in Iowa State's single wing attack.
Otijekky At Center
Oujesky, a seni3r studying fi
nance, was one of the plugs in the
center of the tough, aggressive
Sooner line.
Ths center on the All-Conference
Scholastic Unit is Tom Swaney,
a sophomore in engineering from
Missouri. Swaney helped Missouri
tie Vanderbilt 7-7 during the sea
son when he zipped 51 yards witn
an intercepted pass for the Tigers'
only touchdown.

THE GOAL IN THE LONG RUN!
University Is located at Athens
and has an enrollment of approx
imately 7,100. Ohio State is located
in Columbus and has an enroll
ment of approximately 24,000.
Both schools are state supported
institutions but they have no con
nection with each other besides
this. Ohio University belongs to
the Midwest Conference while Ohio
State is a member of the Big
Ten. Ohio University defeated In
diana in the opening game of their
season.
Mayo Out
Part of Nebraska's rebounding
difficulties were caused by the ab
sence of 6'7'' pivot man, Bob
Mayo. Mayo has an inflamed
nerve due to a chest cold and
was not available for duty, ac
cording to Bush.
Graves Tips
The tallest man on the squad,
Allen Graves, 6'9" sophomore saw
only limited duty. Big Al was
ued at the beginning of each half
to get the tip. The first half, Bush
waited until the first time the
clock was stopped to insert Hersch
Turner but in the second half,
captain Gary Reimers called time
immediately to allow for the sub
stitution of Turner. Graves left the
floor with a broad grin to the
sound of a good round of applause.
Broken Finger
Terry Howard, who has so far
understudied Mayo at the post po
sition, will be lost to the Huskers
until January 8. Terry suffered a
hairline fracture of his little fin
ger when he took a tumble during
practice. The injury leaves post
duties to either Graves or senior
Willie Fitzpatrick until Mayo re
covers.
the editors placed these stars:
tackles Jim Lawrence (Oklahoma),
Bill Mondt (Colorado) and Wally
Carlson (Kansas State); guards
Robert Kraus (Kansas), Chester
Vanatta (Kansas), Dick Corbitt
(Oklahoma) and Sherman Pruit
(Colorado); center Ellis Rains
berger (Kansas State), and backs
Harry Tolly (Nebraska) and Roy
Stinnett (Nebraska).
Similar teams spotlighting the

stars now are being chosen in
other conferences, including the

Sooners Prepare
For Orange Bowl
NORMAN, Okla. -Two hard
scrimmages this week will close
Oklahoma's home soil prepara
tions for the Orange Bowl football
game with Duke.
Coach Bud Wilkinson and his
varsity staff, Gonier Jones, Sam
Lyle, Ted Youngling, Eddie Crow
der and Gene Calame, were sched
uled to put the Big Eight con
ference champions through five
workouts this week, climaxed by
a short scrimmage game Satur
day between the varsity and alter
nate elevens. All workouts are
closed to the public.
Co-c a p t a i n Clendon Thomas'
perplexing hip-pointer remains the
only injury. The Sooner right half
back was held out of the scrim
mage last Thursday although he
could have played. Halfback Bob
by Boyd and Tackle Gilmer Lewis,
who missed several games at the
year's close, scrimmaged last
week and went full speed.
There have been no lineup
changes throughout the first three
learns except Brewster Hobby,
Midwest City sophomore, ran at
left half on the alternate team.
Carl Dodd, starting quarterback,
has a marriage schedule Decem
ber 22 and will bring his bride
to Miami.
The Oklahoma players voted to
leave Norman at 8 a.m., CST, on
December 26 instead of 10:30 a.m.,
consequently the Sooners are slat
ed to arrive at the Miami Mu
nicipal airport at 2:30 p.m., east

wanted to have one afternoon in

I-M Bowling
Attracts 194
By DOUG W ATKINS
Special Writer
The unievrsity intamural bowl
ing program has attracted 194
bowlers this year. There 'are 32
teams competing in four different
leagues. Bowlers in each league
bowl once a week under American
Bowling Congress sanction.
Averages range from 83 to Jack
Gladfelter's leading average of 174.
Gladfelter bowls for Burnett in the
Thursday league. The high indi
vidual game was rolled by Jerry
Thalken, Newman Club, with a
231. Other high games have been
rolled by Warren Davee with a
223, Warren Blaser 221, Jack Glad

after five days at home, report

Wilkinson expects a terrific
game from the bowl veteran Blue
Devils who have never lost a New
Year's game by more than four
points. "When Duke is interested
in a game and well-keyed to play,
they're as good as anyone in the
country, Bud says. "They tied
Navy and defeated Rice, the two
Cotton Bowl teams. They are per
haps the best team we've met
with the exception of Notre Dame
on the day we played Notre
Dame."
Notre Dame cut Oklahoma's 47
game winning streak. Colorado
narrowly missed doing it. Texas
was awfully tough.
Oklahoma's players gave rich
credit to all three when they se
lected their 1957 all-opponents
team last week. Notre Dame land
ed four men on the first eleven
and four on the second, Texas
placed six on both teams, Colo
rado got three.
Every one of the 36 Sooner play
ers voting ranked Coach Terry
Brennan's Irish the best defensive
club they met. They gave Coach
Dal Ward's Colorado Buffaloes a
29-6 margin over Notre Dame at
the best offensive opponent.
They voted Fullback Nick Pie
trosante of Notre Dame the best
individoal player although he
barely beat Bob Stransky, Colo

Crow was selected as the PLAY

Editors. He was almost a 3-1
choice over his nearest rivals,
Kowalczyk and Bob Anderson of

Coliseum Beat
...by george moyer
Last Saturday I attended a basketball game in the Coliseum featur
ing Nebraska against Purdue. Nebraska suffered from a lack of stam
ina and lost in the closing minutes.
The next day, I attended a presentation of Handel's Messiah In
the same building. The Messiah suffered from a lack of referees to boo
during the course of its hour and a half run. Since date and I (yes,
my hearties, I had a date, and though it cost me my membership in
the Kappa Sigma Friday and Saturday Night Television- and Viewing
Association, I thoroughly enjoyed it.) had seats in the balcony, we
were forced to look in one direction for an hour and a half in order to
see the performers. I have gotten a tired neck from watching tennia
matches, but I never got one that remained more or less permanently
twisted to the right from a concert before last Sunday.
It would seem to me an altogether logical suggestion then, for the
musicians to arrange themselves in the middle of the basketball floor
in a circle next year so that- people who are forced to sit in the bal
cony can look down on them. After all, this is the principle behind
KU's Allen Field and Wichita Uninversity's Roundhouse.
Good music is wonderful and great music like the Messiah Is in
spiring but not if the people listening are made uncomfortable by the
listening.
Mistaken Identity
Incidentally, sports fans, that group which played Nebraska last
night was not Ohio State University but Ohio University, an entirely
different institution. Ohio University is not a member of the Big Ten
and has not played Kentucky or Texas A&M this year. Therefore, it is
safe for me to conclude that the boldface box on Wednesday's sport
page was in error. We had the right statistics buj the wrong team.
Beware Ex-Athletes
The Christmas holidays are iminent and this means that all tha
old grads will be returning to their old high schools for alumni gamei.
All parties concerned usually think this is great fun. The high school
coach can use it to give his players another workout under game con
ditions meanwhile complying to state regulations on the number of
,ames played in a season and preserving his season's record. The
tiigh scorers like it because they get a chance to show how good they
are by beating the boys they used to idolize, and the old hands get the
thrill of sharpening up their shooting eyes and feeling the hardwood
under their feet again.
However, the old hands do not long enjoy their sport. Last year
I and some of my ex-classmates took on our high school team. At the
time, the high school was unbeaten and eventually made it to the
state tournament. After three quarters of trying to stay with those
monsters. I finally decided that Jerry Bush would never be able to
use me. The next day I sprang from bed ready to face a day of re
laxation and crumpled to the floor to stiff to move. The rest of my va
themselves once more into uncomplaining dormancy.
