Husker Guards Lead
Second Loop Victory
By Hal Brown ,
Nebraska scored its second conference win of the season
with a 65-61 overtime win over Colorado Monday night before
an estimated 5,000 fans at the Coliseum.
A tipin by Bill Bowers after Al Roots had hit a layin with
1:43 remaining in the overtime cinched the victory for Jerry
Bush's Huskers. Bower's tipih came with six seconds left on
the clock and made the margin, 65-61
Tom Russell started the
Overt
line
.Battle
scoring in the overtime with a
layin after 1:05 had elapsed,
but Colorado's Ken Charlton
came back to knot the count
at 61-all with a hook shot with
2:16 reading on the score
board clock.
After Roots hit his go-ahead
bucket, the Huskers had nu
merous opportunities to salt
away the game at the free
throw line, but missed on four
of four attempts before Bow
er's tipin sewed it up.
"How about those guards
(Roots and Rex Swett)," com
mented Bush after the game,"
and how about that Bowers
on the last play?'
Scoring Guards
Swett and Roots led the Ne
braska scoring with 18 and 17
points respectively; Russell
chipped in 10 and Jan Wall
and Bill Bowers added seven
each. ' i
Russell and Bowers led the
Huskers off the boards with
13 rebounds a piece as Ne-
braska outrebounded the
Buffs, 56-55. Buffalo Wayne
Millies led all rebounders
with 14.
A jump shot from the cor
ner by Swett knotted the
count at 59-all with 25 sec
onds remaining in regulation
time. When Roots fouled Col
orado's Joe Beckner with 19
seconds left, the Buffs had a
chance to take the lead, but
the little 5-9 senior missed the
first of a one-and-one.
Nebraska gained possession
of the ball under its own bas
ket with 15 seconds remain
ing, but when Jan Wall
stepped on the out-of-bounds
line as he received a pass,
Colorado took over.
The Huskers opened the
game with a hot shooting
pace and roared to a 20-11
lead midway in the opening
stanza. But Colorado fought
back to knot the score at 25
25 before a long jump shot
by Jim Huge gave Nebraska
a 27-25 halftime margin.
Hpt Starters
Nebraska opened the sec
ond half just as they did the
first canto, but then slowed
down just as in the first half.

Petsch Hits 30,
But Reds Win
'By Norm Beatty
A gallant frosh White team went down to defeat Monday
night before their taller Red foes in the highest scoring
freshman game of the season.
The Whites, led by the soft-shooting Daryl Petsch who
canned 30 points, showed signs that they were giving ground.
The fact that Coach Don Smidt's outclassed squad absorbed
a 22 point beating last Saturday night was also forgotten.
Yet the Reds were not to i
be denied as they tvere equal
to the call and came out on
top by a 76-71 count. Big Bill
Vincent was only two points
behind Petsch with 28 points.
He and Petsch displayed the
hottest scoring dual between
frosh intra-squad rivals seen
in the Coliseum for some
time.
The Whites pulled to an
early advantage and kept it
throughout the contest until a
flurry of Red buckets with
six minutes left changed the
complexion of the game.
The lead changed hands at
this point three times within
a minute and a half. Jim
Bartlett, surprise of the eve
ning, kept the Whites in close
at this point with two straight
25-foot fielders. He finished
with 11 important points in a
losing cause.
Aiding Vincent in the high
scoring contest were Keith
Sieck, Charles Jones, Chuck
Sladovnik, Roger Denesia and
Neil Nannen with 13, 10, 9, 7
and 9 points respectively.
Little Denny Puelz, the
shortest man on the court at
5-4, displayed amazing hustle
and a variety of shots to end
up with 15 points. He and
Petsch were the whole show
for the Whites as Linn John
son, and Jim Lemons proved
important via their rebound
ing. Petsch 's point total came
mostly in the first 20 minutes
of the three period game. He
scored 16 points in that stan
za and 12 of the first 14 White
counters.
His grand total stands sec
ond high in all-time individual
scoring for an intra-squad
freshmen game. Albert Max
ey, Husker star of a year ago,
hit 33 as a freshman in a sim
ilar game.

Sports Signals)
By Hal Brown I
Nebraska's athletes came through with some outstand
ing performances during the Christinas holidays. Husker
athletes representing three sports wrestling, basketball,
and football performed on a par with athletes from other
schools.
Mickey Sparano's wrestlers, competing
unattached in the Great Plains AAU Col
lege Invitational Tournament at Omaha,
came home with 10 trophies including five
championships and three second place
awards.
Winning top prizes were Harold
Thompson in the 157-pound division, Jim
Faimon at 137 pounds, Jim Fuxa at 123
pounds, Don Stone in the 191-pound class,
and Jim Raschke as a heavyweight.
" Tom Trail at 191, Gary Policky at 123,
and Bob Van Outry at 177 pounds copped
Thompson also won a trophy for scoring
the fastest pin and another trophy for scoring the most pins.
Brown
second places
Nissen Missing from Meet
John Dooley of Kansas State won the trophy for being
the outstanding wrestler in the meet. Husker Mike Nissen
defeated Dooley e a r 1 i e r in the year, but the Nebraska
wrestler had to pass up the tourney because of a sprained
ankle.
Jerry Bush's cagers surprised the "experts" with a
fifth place finish in the pre-season tourney at Kansas City.
The Huskers bounced back a f t e r a dismal performance
against Kansas in the opening round. Nebraska won the
next two games from Missouri and Oklahoma State by de
cisive margins and Missouri replaced Nebraska as the
choice for the Big Eight cellar.
The Huskers are without an outstanding individual, but
they make up for that with smooth teamwork and a bal
anced scoring attack. Bush's hustlers may pull some more
surprises before this campaign is over.
Gridders Sparkle in Post-Season
Nebraska's three gridders also came through with
pleasing performanaces. Pat Fischer in the North-South
game, Don Fricke in the Blue-Gray contest, and Roland
McDole in the Blue-Gray and Shrine Bowl, all were among
the outstanding performers in the respective contests. It
makes one wonder if Nebraska shouldn't have had a little
better record during the past grid season.
Advantage for Missouri
For those of you who saw Saturday night's basketball
game and also Missouri's win over Navy in t h e Orange
Bowl you can now feel sorry for Navy. The Missouri grid
ders had an advantage. They were able . scrimmage
against Sparky Stalcup's Tiger cagers.
The Big Eight is one of the leading conferences in the
country in athletics, but Its schools also excel in another
phase of sport. Two of the five finalists in Sport Magazine's
Campus Queen contest represent Big Eight schools.
They are Patti Bledsoe of Oklahoma, and Judy Krueger
of Colorado. No other major conference has a single rep
resentative. Others represent the University of Connecti
cut, Southwestern Louisiana, and Western Kentucky State
College.
Last year's winner was also from the Big Eight. She
was Trudy Shulkin of Sioux City, Iowa, representing Okla
homa. Equal at Weigh-Tn
Even a boxing promoter couldn't have matched two
opponents more equal in size than Rex Swett and Missouri's
Ken Doughty. Swett, at 6-1 and 183 pounds, is one inch taller
and three pounds heavier than his pugilistic foe Saturday
night.

" Two former Oklahoma football players under Bud Wil
kinson were undefeated as coaches in recent bowl play.
Jimmy Owens, Oklahoma end from .1946-49, coached the
Washington team that beat Minnesota, 17-7, to win its sec
ond Rose Bowl game in a row.
. Darrell Royal, left halfback and quarterback at Okla
homa the same years, tutored the Texas team that tied Ala
bama, 3-3, in the Bluebonnet Bowl. Jack Mitchell, Sooner
quarterback from 1946-48, directed the Kansas team that
would have played in the Orange Bowl except for an NCAA
probation.
Professional golfer Arnold Palmer, the other day,
proved that the best of them h a v e troubles on the golf
course. Palmer, -named Sportsman of The Year by Sports
Illustrated, shot a 12 an the final hole recently in the Los
Angeles Open Golf Tournament. The "Golfer of The Year"
was one under par going into the final hole, but finished
with a 77 and was eliminated from the tourney.
