clones, paced by rookie Vin
nie Brewer, are 4-3 so far in
league play.
Coach Hank Iba's Okla
homa State Cowboys are fifth
in the Big 8, owning a 3-3
mark. The ball-control mind
ed Cowboys are the leading
defensive team in the league
and one of the top defensive
squads in the nation.
Although Kansas has the
leagae's leading scorer In
Wayne Hightower, the sensa
tional sophomore from Phila
delphia, they are a lowly
sixth having woo two and lost

on tap for this weekend. The
most important contest will
be the K-State-Colorado bat

np as a tight feud. A Colo
rado victory would give them
a 5-2 record and a good shot
at the title.

Sidelines Scribe
by dave calhoun
Although the smester break was greatly appreciated
it caused this writer a certain amount of woe, the first time
he walked into the office.
I have always been told if a news story isn't recent,
don't bother with it I don't think this is the case, however,
in the field of University athletics.
A lot has happened since the last Issue of first semes
ter's Rag came out and I think somewhere on this page
some credit should be given to these athletes.
After Monday night's explosive victory over Missouri,
the cloud of gloom that has been floating around the Coli
seum since mid December has unaiiy
lifted.
Coach Jerry Bush's boys provided a
lot of excitement for Husker fans, particu
larly during the final half.
Many Nebraska followers are willing
to forget the game with Colorado last Sat
urday night. Although the Huskers blew
their extensive lead in the final minutes,
there were a couple of things that hap
pened during the first half, that hadn't
happened all year.
For one thine, the Huskers were re
bounding ... all of them at the same time. The Nebraskans
were np against some fairly tall boys, led by Buff Center
Roger Voss a 6-7 sophomore.
Nebraska's big sophomore, 6-9 Al Buuck, caught fire
during this same period. Buuck had acted reluctant to
fight regularly for the rebounds prior to this game, but he
forgot all about this Saturday night.
Buuck has seen how it is to scrap for the ball and evi
dently likes it His actions against Missouri continued to
improve, as he netted 13 points against the Tigers.
The fans have tasted victory and they like it
Other winter sports were also busy during the vacation.
The wrestlers, still looking for their first victory of the
season, ran np against some pretty tough competition in
Kansas State. Although the grapplers won one event by
forfeit It was once again the muscular Jim Raschae who
gained the varsity points.
By the way, the wrestlers will face off against the
Air Force Academy Friday afternoon at the Coliseum.
I'm sure the team would appreciate it if some of you fans
would drop in.
The swimming team downed Pittsburgh Kansas and
fell to the hands of Oklahoma during the vacation. In
chalking up their ninth straight victory, the Sooner swim
mers held the Busker's to only one second' place, by Joe
Stocker in the 200 yard breast stroke. The NU swimmers
were void of first place positions and failed to win either
of the relay events.
The meet against Pittsburgh was another story. Al
though no records were set Nebraska picked five first
place positions and grabbed the honors in the 400 yard
medley relay.
Last and certainly not least on the winter sports scene
is the gymnastics team. Of all the sports, only the gym
nasts are undefeated.
During the break they took on Fort Hays, Kansas, and
scored an overwhelming victory, 8323.
Virgil Kubert paced the gymnasts with firsts in" the
high bar and the parallel bars. Fort Hays had to settle
for only one first place, in the rebound tumbling.

The sweat began to roll off
the foreheads of some 30
baseball squad members
Tuesday, out for their second
night of practice.
For the first week the base
ballers will confine their ac
uities to weight training, cal
isthenics and pepper games.
As the physical condition of
the players improves and the
weather gets better, the team
will step up training, accord
ing to Gail Dunne, former
Husker infielder who is aiding
Coach Tony Sharpe.
Dunne explained that the
weight training was a method
used to stretch the muscles
in the legs and shoulders. The
cominbation of this and calis
thenics is used throughout
the season in order to insure
top physical condition.
The squad will be divided
into two platoons and will
work in the7 weight room on
alternate days, Dunne said.
"Since the pitchers will need
more condition, their group
will work Monday, Wednes
day and Friday, while the
other group will work on the
weights on Tuesday and Fri
day," he added.

Looking over the prospects
Coach Sharpe said, "we have
a young team coming back
from last year and some
promising potential material
coming up this year."
Sharpe was reluctant to
predict the Busker's outcome

Oklahoma schools, OU and
Oklahoma State, and Missouri
will be the teams to beat in
1960.
Oklahoma State is the de
fending NCAA champions.

APPAREL OFT PROCLAIMS THE MAN
The hounds of spring are on winter's traces. Soon we will be
shedding our mnkluks and union suits and putting on our
spring finery. And what does Dame Fashion decree for the com
ing season?
(Dame Fashion, incidentally, is sot, as many people believe,
a fictitious character. She was a real Englishwoman who lived
in Elizabethan times and, indeed, England is greatly in her debt.
During the invasion of the Spanish Armada, Dame Fashion
not yet a Dame but a mere, unlettered country lass named
Becky Sharp during the invasion, I say, of the Spanish
Armada, this dauntless girl stood on the white cliffs of Dover
and turned the tide of battle by rallying the sagging morale of
the British fleet with thk staring poem of her own oooipoaitici
Don't be oviiem.
Men of Britain.
Swing your enilats.
We ain't quittin'.
Smash the Spaxiik,
Sink their boat.
Make 'em vanish,
Like a horte make oat.
For Good Queen Be,
Good irt, yam gotta
Make a me
Of that Armada.
You won't fail!
Knock 'em flat!
Then ve il drink aU
And stuff like that.
As a reward for these inspirational verses Queen Elisabeth
dubbed her a Dame, made her poet laureate, and gave her the
Western Hemisphere except Duluth. But this was not the ex
tent of Dame Fashion's services to queen and country. In 1589
she invented the egg. In 1590, alas, she was arrested for poach
ing and imprisoned for thirty years in a butt of malmsey. Thii
later became known as Guy Fawkes Day).
But-I digress. Let us get back to spring fashions.
Certain to be popular again this year is the cardigan (which,
curiously enough, was named after Lord Cardigan, who com
manded the English fleet against the Spanish Armada. The
sweater is only one product of this fertile Briton's imagination.
He also invented the b&U-psen hammer, the gerund, and the
molar, without which chewing, aa we know it today, would not
be possible).
But I digress. The cardigan, I say, will be back, which a
cause for rejoicing. Why? Because the cardigan has nice big
pockets in which to carry your Marlboro Cigarettes-and that,
good buddies, is ample reason for celebration. Do you think
flavor went out when filters came in? If so, you've got another
smoke coming. I mean Marlboros all the rich, smooth flavor
of prime tobaccos plus a filter that really filters. So slip bto
your cardigan and hie yourself to your tobacconist for soma
good Marlboros. They come in soft pack or flip-top box. Card,
gang come in pink for girls and blue for boys. i
you're a fitter tmoker, try Marlboro, tt yotfr a no.
tdttr tmoker, try Philip Morris. If you're m teletition watcher
