'Kti ; r r '.J ''J 1 K ,! Pag V The Daily Nebraskan Thursday, February 22, 1962' STAR OF THE WEEK- IWtl.ll.MII'J.MWsssMWSM If illilllltSM pi "REBEL" ROLLS Tommy Russell, senior Husker eager, was tabbed "Star of the Week" for his key per formances last week against Iowa State and Missouri. Russell Selected As Star of Week By RICK AKIN Sports Staff Writer Tom Russell, 6-7 . senior eag er from Independence, Kan., Is this week's recipient of the Daily Nebraskan Star of the Week award. Russell receives this award on the merit of his 26 points in the 79-66 loss to Iowa State and his 14 point production last Saturday in the Missouri win. Thus far this season big Tom has been the most con sistent Husker in both scoring and rebounding. He leads the team hi both categories w ith . 316 points (26.1 of the team total) and 160 rebounds. Playing the post a lot of the time of late, Russell is very effective at driving around his defensive man and scoring a lay up. In this man ner 'Rebel' scores most of his points and feels he is more effective there but adds, "Just so I play; that's what counts." Started in 6th Grade Russell started his basket ball days in the sixth grade when a teacher organized a team. In his. senior year in high school he was All-State and All-Conference in Inde pendence. In the finals of the state tourney that year Inde pendence lost to Witchita North which was led by Jerry Gardner, Kansas stalwart to day, who Russell tabs as "one of the best in the league." Upon graduation Russell went to Independence Junior College and after two years transferred to Nebraska. 'Rebounding Difference "The transition from junior college ball to Big 'Eight ball is not as great as the change from high school to junior col lege," said Russell. "The re bounding is the big difference between college and junior col- lese-" . . ; After arriving in trie Husk er camp, Russell promptly made a name for himself in the Big Eight. In his first season here he was selected as honorable mention in the Big Eight. This year Tom was predict ed to make third string on the All America squad by Sport Review magazine. Close Games Concerning the team's show ing so far this season, Russell feels that "our win-loss record could be a lot different. We have played in' 11 or 12 games which have been decided by four points or less and if we had won a few more of those, "This has been the trend in other league games so far this year," continued Russell. "It seems the games are a lot closer this year than last. Returning to the squad's performance Russell said, "We have also run into some teams which have been very hot in their shooting. When a team shoots around 69 such as Iowa State and Colorado did against us, they are tough to beat." Russell praised Pat McKen zie and Mike Wroblewski of Kansas State as the best cag ers in the league who have de fended him and the best he has defended, respectively. As for the future of basket ball at Nebraska Russell said, "It lools very bright with all the experienced sophomores on this year's squad returning." r DAILY r JEBRASKAH 'Rebel' Would Have Traded Scoring Record for Victory By BOB PROKOP Sports Columnist In typical Tom Russell fashion, the "Rebel" com mented on his record in the following manner: "Aw, it's great to have, set the record but I'd have traded the rec ord for the win." During the game, Tom had no idea that he was closing in on the rec ord and his eight point salvo in the final three minutes were the clinching factor. Coach Jerry Bush was very pleased with Tom's record performance and with h i s play all season. Jerry further commented that Rex Swett played one of his better games this year and J i m Huge, who entered a Husker contest for the first time this year, did extremely well con sidering the circumstances he was under. Further Bush comments were mainly about Russell's tremendous play and hoping his ball club would be ready for the second meeting with Missouri Saturday. Daryl Petsch, sidelined be cause of an ankle injury, said that he'll suit up Saturday and stated that he is more than anxious to get back into action if Bush decides to let him, play. On the other side of the locker room, the jovial Dick Harp, winning his second game in the Big Eight Con ference this season, jested with the statement, "We didn't need the win, we've been winning, so much this vear. We win 'em close, we lose 'em close, nothing in be tween Whatsoever." Commenting on the game itself, "We were lucky to get off the point of no return, that was the turning point of the game." He was referring to the 56-56 and 58-58 ties in curred in the final minutes of the game. ' - . Coach Harp has installed the Bruce Drake shuffle, the former offense used by Okla homa during Drake's tenure there. Harp was forced to go to this offense since he lacks the big men which are essen tial to today's game. Harp rose to his feet sever al times during the game, particularly on Nolen" Elli son's fifth foul. At the time the contest was 68-64 and the Huskers had two free throws. He commented that he was fortunate that the officials hadn't called a technical foul for his actions but felt that in the heat of the game most coaches occasionally lose their composure.

If the new program is not effected this year there is a great possibili ty that the same will hold true next year. It would be pretty easy to wait with the planning until second semester and then Panhell will find themselves in the exact spot they are now. Besides, this would be the chance for Panhell to prove to the campus and even its own sorority members that it really is capable of doing some thing constructive outside of handling Rush Week.

Then you'd like computer programming, the new career that makes fuii nst of your logical talents. If you have a keen analytical and logical mind and want to use it fully after college then computer programming at IBM may be just the career you've always looked forward to. A computer programmer examines a business, indus trial, or scientific problem and translates it into a special mathematical-logical language for the computer. Working at amazing speeds, the computer can produce answers in minutes, even seconds. Some of these answers might actually take days to produce by other methods. The problems are interesting and varied. IBM pro grammers have used computers to predict hurricanes, tell days ahead where satellites will be in space,-locate the best factory sites for businessmen, and aid highway engi neers in laying out roads. , You naturally have r a better chance to grow j with a growth company, g. No previous knowledge of computers is necessary; an intensive training course will equip you for your work. But you should have an analytical and logical turn of mind, and at least two years of college mathematics. In computer programming you will find that the salaries are excellent? and that the future can be virtually as un limited as the future of the computer itself. There are ample opportunities for continued education. The IBM representative will interview on your campus. He will be glad to give you details about this fascinating new profession. Your placement office will make an ap pointment. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, creed, color or na tional origin.
