Wall Paces Victory
Over Sooners, 83-61
By Hal Brown
Nebraska looked like anything but a seventh-place team
in taking an 83-61 victory over Oklahoma Monday night at
th Coliseum to break a seven-game losing streak before
1,500 fans.
Jan Wall, hitting on long jump and set shots, sparked the
Husker scoring attack with 22 points. Ivan Grupe, making his
first start of the campaign, added 15 points to the Husker
total. Tom Russell chipped in 13.

good ball tonight. And how
about that Grupe? Where has
ne been all season," asked
Coach Jerry Bush.
The loss dropped Oklahoma
Into sole possession of the
Big Eight basement with a 2-8
mark and leaves Nebraska
with a 3-7 record. The Husk-
ers meet Kansas at Lawrence
Saturday and return home to
face Kansas State Monday.
Bush's cagers led from the
beginning after Bill Bowers'
layin and a long set shot by
Wall gave the Huskers a 44
lead.
10-Point Lead
Th closest Oklahoma
came was at 6-5 on a jump
shot by Eddie Evans with 16
minutes left in the first per
iod. The Huskers then spurt
ed to a 40-30 halftime advan
tage. The Sooners went scoreless
for four minutes at the be
ginning of the second half as
Nebraska built a 17-point lead
on a layin and three free
throws by Wall and a jump
shot by Grupe.
The largest Husker margin
of the contest was 25 points
at 73-48 and 75-70. A layia by
Rex Swett gave Nebraska the
7348 lead and after Okla
homa's Tom Hedrick con
nected with a layin," Swett
came oacR with a corner
jump shot to make it 75-70.
At this point with 5:35 left
in the game, Bush cleared
his bench and Jim Huge, Jim
Yates, Bernt Elle, Elmer
Walin and Al Buuck held their
own against the tallest team
in the Big Eight, t
Yates hit two jump shots
and a hooker to please the
sparse crowd in the closing
minutes.
Roots Returns
Al Roots, who was rein
stated after a conversation
with Bush Monday afternoon,
scored eight points for the
winners. Roots had been boot
ed from the team last week
end for insubordination.
Nebraska hit a sizzling 64
per cent from the field in the
first half on 16 of 25 attempts
and finished the game with
30 of 59 for 50.8 per cent.

Frosh Win Again:
Vincent Hits 20
By Norm Beatty
The Nebraska freshmen kept their momentum last night
after a Saturday night victory to swamp the Dental College,
74-62.
Coach Tony Sharpe was able to strengthen his bench by
using the previously absent Chuck Sladovruit and Neil Nannen,
both ineligible for intercollegiate play, to overcome the Dents.

"I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU"
1 know all of you have important things to do m the morning
like getting down to breakfast before your roommate eats all
the marmalade so you really cannot be blamed for not keeping
. up with all the news in the morning papers.. In today's column,
therefore, 1 have prepared a run-up of news highlights from
campuses the country over.
SOUTHERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Willard Hale Sigafoos, head of the department of anthro
pology at Southern Reserve University, and internationally
known as an authority on primitive peoples, returned yesterday
from a four-year scientific expedition to the headwaters of the
Amazon River. Among the many interesting mementos of his
journey is his own head, shrunk to the size of a kumquat. He
refused to reveal how his head shrinking was accomplished.
"Thut's for me to know and you to find out," he said with a
tiny, but saucy grin.
NORTHERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Mandrill Ciblxm, head of the department of soology at
Northern Reserve University, and known to young and old for
hi-! work on primates, announced yesterday that he had re
ceived a grant of 880,000,000 for a twelve-year study to deter
mine precisely how much fun there is in a barrel of monkeys.
Whatever the results of Dr. Gibbon's researches, this much
is already known: What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys is
pack of Marlboro. There is aest and cheer in every puff,
delight in every draw, content and well-being in every fleecy,
flavorful cloudlet. And what's more, this merriest of cigarettes
comes to you both in soft pack and flip-top box wherever cig
arettes are sold at prices that do no violence to the slimmest of
purses. So why don't you settle back soon and enjoy Marlboro,
the filtered cigarette with the unfiltered taste.
EASTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
The annual meeting of the American Philological Institute,
held last week at Eastern Reserve University, was enlivened
by the reading of two divergent monographs concerning the
origins of early Gothic "runes," as letters of primitive alphabets
sre called.
Dr. Trisrm Luthrnp Spleen, famed far and wide as the dis
coverer of the High German Consonant Shift, read a paper in
which he traced the origins of the Old Wendish Tune "pt"
(pronounced "kruhtz") to the middle Lettic rune "gr" (pro
nounced "albert"). On the other hand, Dr. Richard Cummer
bund Twonkey, who, as the whole world knows, translated
"The Pajania Game" into Middle High Bactrian, contended
in his paper thut the Old Wendish rune "pt" derives from the
Low Erse rune "tnf" (pronounced "gr").
Well, sir the discussion grew so heated that Dr. Twonkey
finally asked Dr. Spleen if he would like to step into the gym- .
nasium and put on the gloves. Dr. Spleen accepted the chal
lenge promptly, but the contest was never held because there
wore no gloves in the gymnasium that would fit Dr. Twonkey.
(The reader is doubtless finding this .hard to believe as
Eastern Reserve University is celebrated the length and breadth
of the land for the siae of its glove collection. However, the
reader is asked to remember that Dr. Twonkey has extraor
dinarily small hands and arms. In fact, he spent the lust
w ar working in a small -arms plant, where he received t wo
Navy "E" Awards and was widely hailed as a "manly little
chap.") , amia.MM

never behind in the contest,
had to prove their worth by
using a late scoring spree
and hustle to come out on
top. The scoring story was
the same last night as it was
Saturday night an overall
team effort.
Big Bill Vincent gave indi
cations that he has outlasted
the flu by pumping in 20
points to lead the frosh. He
was followed by D a r y 1
Petsch, Dennie Puelz and
Roger Denesia who contrib
uted 19, 16 and 11 counters
respectively.
Top scorer of the night was
Bob Prokop of the losing
Dental College with 21 points.
Former Husker star Don
Smidt added' 12 tallies and
Larry Lytle had 11.
The usually consistent
Charles Jones hit a bad night
and played a small portion of
the game. Although he dis
played his usual consistency
off the boards when he
played, Jones was not able
to find the range and ended
the evening with only two
points on a single field goal.
Larry Lytle teamed with
Jim Killinger and Don Smidt
to keep the score down to a
six-point deficit at the half
way mark.
Vincent's sweeping hooks
and long jumpers immediate
ly after the second stanza
started, however, sent the
frosh on their way.
The Dents made a futile
attempt to catch up with 9:46
remaining when Prokop hit
five straight field goals. The
result was a 58-51 score.
But the younger and taller
frosh used their stamina to
quench the brief rally and
moved to the victory.

PLAN YOUR FUTURE
WITH THE LEADER Ifl
Since the beginning of hit Intellectual awareness, Mem has
looked upward to Ihe outer void surrounding his planet
Earth. He has watched the twinkling stars and wondered
at the never-ending dance of the planets around the Sun.
Ne has dreamed and written of the possibility of exploring
outer space and speculated endlessly on what he might
find could he but explore those silent spheres.
A practical beginning to these century long yearnings
lias already been accomplished with man-made satellites
already girdling the Earth. Now, the next stage is under
way the daring attempt to explore the Moon and the
planets of our Solar System and their environments.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
fas assigned Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
the responsibility for the Nation's program of unmanned
lunar, planetary, and interplanetary exploration. The
ebjectives of thii program are to contribute to mankind's
fundamental knowledge of space and the space envi
ronment and to the development of the technology of
space exploration. For the next ten years, as larger booster
vehieles become available, spacecraft with ever-increasing
scientific instrument payloads will be developed.
JPL will conduct the missions, utilizing these spacecraft
to orbit and land on the Moon, to probe interplanetary
paceand to orbit and land on the near and far planets.
Earliest of these spacecraft will be the "Ranger" series
now being designed, developed and tested at JPL The
mission of this particular series will include first, explora
tion of the environment and later the landing of instru
ment capsules on the Moon."
Subsequent steps will continue a constant probing for
the knowledge of what is beyond and will require all the
skills, ingenuity, courage, endurance, perception and
imagination that men can bring to the task.
Never before has such a wide vista of opportunity, or
a greater incentive been open to men trained in all fields
of modern science and engineering. Every day at JPL new
problems arise, new theories are advanced, new methods
tried, new materials used, and new principles discovered.
Wouldn't you like to be part of this exciting activity?
