The Doily Nebroskori
NU Invades Missouri Tonight;
Suffer 59-56 Setback at I. St.
By Randall Lambert
Nebraska will be at Mis
souri tonight in the second
of two road games for the
Huskers.
The Tigers, who lost their
first nine straight engage
ments with conference team,
have sudeenly come to life
the past three weeks. They
ripped Oklahoma State 51-44
to end the losing streak and
then traveled to Colorado to
rock the Buffs by an 85-80
count. Nebraska stopped Ok
lahoma State at home, but
were beaten by Colorado on
the Buffs home court.
Al Abrams
Much of the recent success
the Tigers have gained can
be attributed to 6-5Vi Al
Abrams. The big junior for
ward has "been ripping the
cords at a 15.5 average after
starting the season in slow
fashion.
Charlie Hcnke, soft-shooting
Missouri pivotman, has
also been getting better with
each game. He started his
outburst with a 17 point pro
duction against defensively
minded Oklahoma State.
Last Monday night he crept
into the double-figure aver
ages for the first time with
a "7-poir.i burst against Kan
sas. He also cleared 12 re
bounds. The Tigers with a 2-9 con
ference mark will be trying
to climb out of the Big 8 cel
lar. A win over Nebraska
coupled with an Iowa State
loss at Kansas tonight would
do the trick and set the stage
for a cellar battle between
the Tigers and Cyclones at
Missouri.
Nebraska needs the win to
stay ahead of Oklahoma
State and stay in fifth place.
Scoreless 7 Minutes
Saturday night the Husk
ers went scoreless for seven
minutes during the second
half before they slowly ral
lied, but fell short of the Cy
clones 59-56.
After shooting 46 per cent in
the first half, the Nebraskans
cooled off and could only hit
26 per cent. Leading the Hus
kers was Herschell Turner
with 19 points. He was fol
lowed by Al Maxey and Bob
Harry, who hit 14 and 11 points
respectively.
Incidentily, the last Husk
er win on the road was at
Missouri during the 1956-57
season.
Undefeated Grinnell Loses
To Nebraska; Minn. Wins
Nebraska's swimmers split
In two meets the past week
end as they lost 54-39 at
Minnesota, Thursday niht.
However, they came back to
beat Grinnel 49-37, Saturday

The Nebraska 440-yd.

200-yd. backstroke with a
record breaking time of 2:
21.8. The old Nebraska rec
ord was 2:25.5. Tomson had
to come from behind to win
as he overtook Art Johnson
of Grinnell, 25 yards from
the finish line.
The third record was set
in the 200-yd. breast stroke
as Nebraska's Joe Stocker
took an early lead and main
tained it to win in the record
breaking time of 2:36.9. This
also broke the Nebraska and
pool record.

Husker Matmen Hit By
Defending Big 8 Champs
By Randall Lambert
Iowa State shut out Nebras
ka 34-0 in the last dual meet
of the season for the Huskers.
The Cyclones won four
matches by pins and one by
forfeit on the way to their
ninth win of the year. The
only Huskers to escape loss
by pin were Gail Baum. Ken
Lott, and Harold Thompson.
Baum Surprises
Gail Baum turned out to
be the surprise of the even
ing as he dropped a 10-4 de
cision to Ron Gray, national
collegiate champion at 147
pounds. Gray, who last year
led the Cyclones to the Big
Eight Championship and a
second place finish in the na
tionals, took a two point lead
in the opening period by vir
tue of a takedown.
Gray was given the top po
sition at the beginning of the
second period and almost
pinned Baum midway through
the stanza. However, the
Husker matman lasted out the
period and almost managed
to escape from Gray on sev
eral occasions.
Sporting a 3-0 lead going
into the final period, Gray
started in the bottom spot
and escaped to increase his
lead .by another point. An
other takedown gave Gray
an overwhelming 6-0 lead and
it looked as though Baum
was going to be whitewashed.
Even Terms
It was at this time that
Baum suddenly came to life
and wrestled Gray on even
terms. First, he escaped from
the Cyclone star. His freedom
was shortlived when Gray
again scored another two
points on a takedown. Baum
countered with an escape and
the score stood 8-2. With ten
seconds left Baum brought

surprised Gray and threw
him to the mat for the take

flashed across the champion's
face as the Husker turnod
