Hustlin' Buskers
By Dave Calhoun
It happened again.
Nebraska's b a s k e tball
team, up and down through
out the season, played the
role of J a c k and knocked
off the giant of the Confer
ence, Kansas State, in a tre
mendous 70-60 victory Sat
urday for the Scarlet a, n d
O TT..
It was one of the fastest
games the Huskers have
played all season, and like
last week's victory over Io
wa State, it was a terrific
team effort.
As a result of the con
test, the Conference lead is
knotted into a three-way tie
-between Kansas State, Col
orado and Kansas.

On Turkeys
The possibility of building
a turkey-testing facility near

tween Nebraska turkey in

riculture was revealed re
cently. John Skinner, assistant ex
tension poultryman, speaking
before the annual meeting of
the Nebraska Turkey Federa
tion, said the possibility
emerged from results of a
survey on the random sample
turkey test.
The test is conducted by the
Department of Poultry Hus
bandry. Eggs sent by growers
from Nebraska and several
other estates are hatched at
Lincoln.
The young poults are wing
banded for identification and
reared at a farm near Louis

eggs were sent representing
