Lantz and Prokop, formed the
nucleus of a strong Chemist
team.
The Newman Club had a
formidable crew in Cook,
Kane. Bernard Ach, and Gene
Torczon. The Newmanites
snapped the Chemists 47
game winning streak during
the first round of tournament,
play. This upset gave the
Newman Club the spark it
needed to carry itself to the
Intramurals finals.
The 1958 All-independent
team is composed of a po
tent crew that could conceiv
ably do well in any intramural
league. The first team is
made up of several all round
athletes who were stars dur
ing their high school days and
some are well known for their
performances on University
Varsity athletic teams.
Newman Club, losers to

The first
team is paced
by big Bob
Prokop Of the Courtesy Lincoln Star
Chemists. I'rokup
Prokop averaged over 20
pts. a game and has been an
All-independent choice the
past two years. He led the
Chemists to an unbeaten
league record and almost
brought them a win over
Newman Club.
Jim Kane and Clarence Cook
won first team ballots for
consistent play throughout the
entire season. Kane, a g o o d
basketball player in high
ft I
8 baseball catchers, played
leadership type ball most of
the team.
Presby House placed for
ward Ken Ruisinger on the
first team balloting due to his
consistent scoring and re
bounding. Ruisinger, an all
round athlete from Omaha, is
also promising material for
tony Sharpe's baseball team
this season. As a result of his
fine efforts, Presby House
gained a tie for first with
Wesley House in League 18
Robert lnman, top perform
er and all arcrd player for
the pathogens, won the other
first team spot. Inman led the
Pathogens to the Ag League
title.
The second team is com
posed of ballplayers almost as
good as the first team mem
bers. Joe Lytle, top player for
the Dental College, had a
strong background before
coming to Nebraska. He was
a star player for Chadron
State Teachers College.

Chemists team, played city

The beginning of the end
for Seattle came when their
great Ail-American, Elgin
Baylor, collected his fourth
personal foul with 16 minutes
to play. Seattle switched to
a zone defense to keep Bay

broke thines wide open with
eight one hand set shots.

'Fantastic
Keith Gardner, the amaz
ing Jamaican hurdler and
sprinter, has compiled a
fantastic record as a mem
ber of Nebraska's track
teams the past two years.
Gardner has gone to the
marks 55 times and has
turned out victorious in 41
races. He has finished sec
ond 8 times, third 3 times,
and failed to place only
once.
He has broken three Big
Eight records and tied
three in two indoor meets.
He holds four stadium rec
ords, and tied five more.
Eleven meet records and
and six tied are the other
accomplishments. In addi
tion to these fine perfor
mances, he has unofficially
broken the world low hur
dles record.
There was some success In
the strategy for Baylor re
mained in the game until the
end. He scored 25 points and
came up with 19 rebounds,
exactly half of his team's
total. Defensively, he w a s
forced to be meek, however,
and Hatton repeatedly took
advantage of the watery Se
attle barricade to score on
tasy layups.
Hatton wound up with 30
points while Cox chipped in
24, 18 coming in the last nait.
Blowing big leads was a
habit at Louisville as Kansas
State also saw an 11 point
margin fade before a Temple
second half attack.
Leading 39-28 at the inter
mission, the Cats were held
without a field goal for 13
minutes while Temple, led by
AU-American Guy Rodgers,
was roaring to a 53-47 ad
vantage. From there on, a
mild Kansas State comeback
was to no avail.
Rodgers, proving again his
All-American status, scored
17 points for Temple and was
the chief feeder and play
maker. Teammate Bill Ken
nedy collected 23 to lead all
scorers. Bob Boozer, the Kan
sas State ace, nabbe 19 as
the Wildcats shot a frigid
28.3 from the floor.
