Tuesdoy, November 18, 1958 The Doily Nebroskon Sooners Lead Big Eight Oklahoma's powerful Soon' ers, playing more convincing. ly every week, continued to boost their margin as total of fense leaders in the Big Eight onierence with a resounding 39-0 conquest of Missouri last Saturday. The Sooners rolled up 406 yards, 246 rushing and 160 passing, as they mauled the Tigers, and now have a total of 2,045 on the ground and 829 In the air for an over-all fig ure 01 Z,874. Colorado, limited to 62 yards total in a snowy out ing against Utah, dropped to imra place as Oklahoma State took over the runner-up spot. The Cowpokes have rushed for 1,830 and passed for 759 for a total of 2,589 to 2,494 for Colorado. The only change in individ ual leaders took place in punt ing, as Phil Snowdcn, No. 1 last week, dropped to third place.

Bully Nebraska's varsity basket ball team goes against one of the top freshman teams in Cornhusker history Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Col iseum. There will be no admission, charge. Varsity Starters Starting for the varsity will be Bob Harry (6-6) at cen ter, Jim Kowalke (6-3) and Al Maxey (6-3) forwards; Wayne Hester (6-2) and Her schell Turner (6-2) guards. The freshmen likely will start Al Buuck (6-8) or Ray Solee (6-9) at center; Jan Wall (6-6) and Phil Barth (6-2) forwards; Rex Swett (6-0) and Al Roots (6-3) guards. There will be two different styles of play. The varsity, without an extremely tall man, will employ an open post type of offense setting up with three out and two in. This requires a lot of motion i ' -' ' ' ' i - - I' ' I - if i iwmtl Jerry Bush and ball handling. Fast Break The freshmen, with the big men, will use the single post. This is basically a 2-1-2 of fense. Both teams will use the fast break and man-for-man defense, Coach Jerry Bush said. Bush is extremely pleased with the progress of his var sity and Coach Tony Sharpe tabs his group as the best he has seen in his 13 seasons at Nebraska. The 1958-59 season marks the fifth year for Coach Bush, sometimes called the "Coliseum Bear." Bush Successful In his first year (1954-55), Bush guided the Huskers to a surprising third-place finish in the Big Seven, despite the loss of several top perform ers. Since then the Huskers have finished in sixth place (1955-56) and in a tie for fourth place in 1956-57. They were 11-12 for the season. Last year Nebraska pulled two of the biggest upsets in the nation when they beat both Kansas and Kansas State. Weather Forces Nebraska Practice Session Indoors A spirited and needless to say happy Cornhusker foot ball team went through light workouts Monday in the field house in preparation of the advancing weekend tilt with the Oklahoma Sooners. "We would like to see some rough contact this week; de pending upon the weather of course," commented coach Jennings. Praises Jennings, who appaeared calm and relaxed, had much to say about his charges. Those pointed out were Al Wellman, who went in the game when Zentic was in jured, Duane Mongerson, and Dick Rosier. "I admire the way these boys went in and really did everything they could to help us win." When the name Dick Mon roe was mentioned, Jennings had this to say: "He (Mon- IfA Scout Dick Monroe roe) did a real fine job of scouting Pitt, as he has done all year." "I think Tolly played a fine game Saturday. He called a good game, his quick kick was instramental, and re member, he played a lot of defense," added Jennings. Statistics Statistically the Big Red has a better showing than a week ago. Clay White has the best rushing average with 113 yds. in 29 carries for a 4.6 aver age. Larry Naviaux has the best passing average. He has thrown 9 times and completed 7 for a .778 average. Two of his completions were for touchdowns. Nebraska has six fine punters with Pat Fischer hav ing the best average but only kicking one. The biggest share of the punting has been done by quarterbacks Tolly and Harshman. In the scoring column Harshman and Fischer have 14 and 12 points respectively. Nebraska Football Statistics (9 Games) Feminine Touch Added1 To Oklahoma Sooners Football is a 22-man game nowadays and Oklahoma's two units bearing widely-contrasting girls' names, the "Abigails" and the "Belle Starrs," are playing with equal dash and ire. Quarterbacked by balding Bobby Boyd and hubbed in the line by stout Steve Jen nings, senior left tackle, the "Belle Starrs," named for the notorious female outlaw who used to roam eastern Okla homa, look very much like Oklahoma's best alternate eleven of the Wilkinson regime. Boyd pegged to Dick Car penter for the winning touch down over Oregon's Rose Bowlers. Boyd lateraled to Dick Carpenter for the first touchdown over Texas and guard Jim Davis, operating in true Belle Starr tradition, purloined the pig from Texas fullback Mike Dowdle to flee 34 yards for the second. The "Abigails" got their name in an odd way. When Oklahoma entries un tn the line with a. plan called imdi rA ?lmst brokS "P.lhe ;Tavid 'Baker sees! scrimmage." " quarterback Tavi an opening for a sneak, he taps center Bob Harrison on Billy Boy Sy tup's AmVed. Yes, and he's not alone in ex pressing satisfaction for Billy Boy Syrup you should see the kids go tor it. 0 fib WM. BARNES, INC. 4600 Lyndal Ave. NortS Minneapolis, Minn. Cornslmcks by larry novicki That game Saturday pro duced so many surprises that even the weathering .' got jolted into the realization that it was about time to snow. The intramural duck hunting teams bolted out of the sack early Monday morning and scurried to their frigid, rain- soaked blinds to fire at the hapless, southbound fowls. I hate snow, and I think only the stupidest people on camp us enter intramural duck hunting. , - a a Went over to check on the basketball results. In the first three evenings of competition, 30 games were played. It is rather difficult to cover all these games personally. Hence, if any house wants a little more coverage on their BB games, they will have to bring us the details. All in formation will be carefully considered. In running through those 30 the pants and Harrison in turn ivarns the Oklahoma guards that a wedge block is needed by calling out some girl's name. One day in practice the sit uation arose and Harrison, stumped for a girl's name, blurted out "Abigail," an old fashioned girl's name that is seldom used nowadays. The Sooners began laughing so I MILITARY BALL Just around the corner, so now is the time to brush up on your dancing steps. While we're thinking about it, we want to re mind you that HOUSE FORMALS aren't far away. Stop in end learn some dances for the party. ARTHUR MURRAY SCHOOL OF DANCING 1232 "M" St. 2-5800 Across from Cornhusker Hotel games in the scorebook, a few interesting items of sta tistics met my eye. The biggest single item was Sigma Nu's 105 points scored in one game against the Kap pa Sig's. The defending frat champs and current football titleists scored 21 or more points in each quarter. They had four players with over 20 counters. The closest any oth er team came to matching the astronomical totoal was 56 scored by Gus I in a game against Benton. ft- I officiated a couple of games myself, and I found that play was pretty clean. There were a few games that got a little rough though. The Delt "B" team beat the Sig Nu seconds, and the contest produced 23 personal fouls. The Beta A team is cur rently leading the foul parade with a total of 13 misdemean ors in a single game. All in all teams find that it is profit able to refrain from fouling, because free throw shooting takes up a lot of time. The clock doesn't stop during fouls, time outs, or jump balls in xjvl games. it Dropped over to Grant Me morial to check on the IM setup over their. I would ven ture to say that most people on campus do not know how extensive the gals intramural program is. They have 16 in terorganizational sports. Did you know that the Kap pa's have won swimming for the past five years? Tri Delt Pat Arbuthnot won the arch ery title for four straight years. The "Belle Starrs" actual ly led the "Abigails" in touch downs scored this season, 10 7, until the Colorado game when the starting unit be stirred itself and counted three. The Sooners call their third outfit the "Tigers," their fourth unit the "Twilighters," and the fifth unit the "Hoot Owls," because it's almost dark before they see any ac tion in the games. The Ti gers have scored four touch downs and yielded one this year. 9 GAMES Nekruka 0MnU 3 Flrat downs ruitiinf 133 Fir downi rtaainf ti Ftrtt downs penalties 4 Total lirat downs 1 Yarda (atnad ruakliK 1S58 Yarda Toit ruahinc 132 Net Yarda (alnet ruahinc 1,406 Number of rushing playi 415 Average train ruabinf 47 Paeeei attempted 109 Paaaea completed SB Paasea had lntercwted 4 Yarda gained peeaing 5J Average gain passing 6.0 Total offensive plaiya 624 Net yarda gained 3.0M Average offensive, gain 4.9 Punta 47 Punt average 37.
