Fight Spices Action
As Tigers Fall, 62-48
By Hal Brown
Basketball coach Jerry Bush had to turn to his bench
Saturday night as the Huskers pulled out a 62-48 win over
Missouri at the Coliseum.
The largest Coliseum crowd of the season, 6,000, saw
more than basketball as some first-half fisticuffs and a
lengthy rhubarb brought the fans to their feet
A balanced scoring attack,
one of Nebraska's trade
marks, was the key factor in
the Husker romp. Al Roots
and Tom Russell led the Ne
braska scoring with 12 points
apiece. Jan Wall and Bill
Bowers contributed nine each
to the attack, and Rex Swett
added eight.
The Huskers played the en
tire second half without two
of their top three scorers in
Jim Kowalke and Swett
was ejected for fight
ing with 1:12 remaining in the
first half, and Kowalke did
not suit up because of an
ankle injury.
Kowalke is the leading
scorer with a 12.9 average
and Swett was third going into
Saturday's contest with a 10.6
mark.
Kowalke May Play
Head trainer Paul Schnei
der said Sunday afternoon
that Kowalke may be able to
play Monday night if he is
needed. He will not be in the
starting lineup.
The fight started when Ken
Doughty, Missouri guard.
shoved Swett as the Husker
sparkplug was in the air on
a lay up attempt Swett
landed out tf bounds and
came up swinging. Both
benches emptied and more
than five minutes elapsed be
fore the two teams resumed
basketball action.
. Both Doaghty and Swett
were ejected and a technical
foul was levied against each.
The Nebraska bench also
drew a technical for protest
ing the disqualification of
Swett.
The Huskers trailed, 29-28,
when the fight occurred and
after the air had cleared and
free throws had been awarded
the Huskers still trailed by
one at 31-30.
A long jumper by Wall with
53 seconds remaining in the
opening stanza gave Nebras
ka a 32-31 halftime lead. The
lead changed hands seven
times during the first half.
After Charles Henke opened
the evening's scoring with a
jump shot and a free throw
to put Missouri ahead. 3-0,
the Huskers fought back to
take a 9-3 lead with Swett
and Roots leading the wav.
I.C08 PoroU
Missouri came back to knot
the count at 12-12 and 14 all
before taking the lead. 16-14,
on a jump shot by Henke.
Henke increased the margin
to four points at 20-16 with
his LGCClh point as a Tiger.
He finished the night with
25 points to bring his career
total to 1.016. The 6-7 senior
is well on his way to becom
ing the highest scoring eager
in Missouri history. Topping
his total are Bob Reiter's
1,188, and Norm Stewart's
1,112.
Nebraska came out in the
second half to score 30 points
while holding Sparky Stal
cup's Tigers to only 17 tallies.
"Our bays were really fired
up in that second half," Bash
said, "I am really proud of
them."
"How about that Huge? He
did a good job for us the
second half," commented
Bush. "Roots did a tremen
dous job on (Joe) Scott He
(Roots) was dead tired when
the game was over."
Scott, Missouri's number
two scorer behind Henke
an season, was limited to
only eight points.
Gfve-and-Go
Nebraska roared to a 51-36
lead midway in the second
period and then began wait
ing for the good shots. The
Huskers, using their give-and-go
offense, broke players
loose for easy layins numer
ous times in the final ten
minutes.
Bowers led the Nebraska
rebounding with 13 as the
Huskers outrebounded Mis
souri, 46-38. Wall pulled down
eight rebounds for Nebraska.
Henke was the top man off
the boards for the Tigers
with seven.
Nebraska hit almost as well
from the field as from the
charity stripe. The Huskers
connected on 23 of 48 from
the field for a .479 percentage
and 16 of 32 from the free
throw line for a .500 mark.
