Sigma Phi Epsilon upended
Kappa Sigma, 38-33, in -the
intramural basketball tourna
ment last , night to claim the
r raternity-A championship.
This was the third battle
between the two teams in this
year's IM tourney and the
Sig Eps won the decisive
game. After the Sig Eps had
earlier knocked the K-Sigs
from the ranks of the unde
feated, the defending All-Uni-v
e r s i t y and Fraternity-A
champs came back to whip
the Sig Eps, 37-30, Monday
night to make last night's
playoff necessary.
The Sig Eps went ahead in
the third quarter then pro
tected their lead with a final
fourth quarter bundle of bas
kets by Honer Uehling to win
before approximately 150 peo
ple in the Coliseum last night.
With little time remaining
in the third quarter, Pete
Lage of Kappa Sigs hit a
layup for the 25th and 26th
K-Sig points. This was the
last time the Kappa Sigs
were ahead.
3-Point Play
Uheling made good on a
field goal and a free throw,
and Dick Muma sunk another
basket to make it 28-26 for
the Sig Eps.
From then on, the S!g Eps
ran away from the du. nding
champs. The fourth quarter
was marked by loose play
as soon as a field goal at
tempt was made the defend
ing team would grab the ball
off the boards and race down
the floor only to have the
other team get the rebound,
and away they'd go again.
The high scorer for the
Kappa Sigs was Bob Prokop,
with 16. The Sig Eps were
paced bv Lambert Sobon
with 13.
Sig Nus Wui
In other action last night,
the Sigma Nu-B team beat
Phi Delta Theta-B, 40-18,
which means the two teams
play again tonight for the
Frat-B title.
Delta I'psilon claimed the
"C" title with a 33-22 win
over Sigma Phi Epsiion-C.
In Cornhusker action, the
Kegs downed Alpha T a u
Omega-B, 43-34, and in Ag
College games, Vcational Ed
ucation downed Kiesseibach,
25-24, and Farm House-A
Gamma
clipped Alpha
Kho-A, 32-24.
Navy, Canfield Win
In the two big games Mon
day night, Navy ROTC and
Canfield-A emerged victori
ous. Navy knocked off Den
tal College, 31-26, to win the
Independent title and advance
automatically to the finals of
the All-University "A" tour
ney Friday.
Canfield-A edged Seaton-II-A,
38-36, to become the
Burr-Selleck-A titlist. Canfield
will meet Sigma Phi Epsilon
in the first round of the All
University tourney Thursday
in the Coliseum.
In other Monday games,
Canfield-B shared some glory
by winning the Burr-Selleck
"B" title from Burnett and
Sig Nu-B advanced by whip
ping Phi Kappa Psi-B, 35-19.
Sig Eps-Du's Reverse
The Sig Ep-C crew ad
vanced to Tuesday's show
down by beating the DU's,
42-33, but couldn't repeat last
night.
In Cornhusker action, Al
pha Tau Omega-C won over
Sigma Nu-C 37-24 and Beta
Theta Pi-A conquered Bouch
er, 51-47. Also the Kegs
marched by Delta Upsilon-B,
56-25.
In A games Kisselbach took
Smith, 26-23, and Farm
I louse-A beat the Ag Men,
28-27.
On tap for tonight are three
championships the Ag Col
lege title, the "Cornhusker"
crown and the Fratemity-B
championship.
Farm House meets Vo
cational Ed. at 5 p.m. at
Ag College for the Ag title,
the Betas (A) and the Kegs
will mix at 5 p.m. on P .E.
Court 1 in the "Cornhusker"

NU's Russell on AIl-Bk Eight Team
Petsch Earns Third Team Selection
Mythical Squad Has Good Ilciglitli
By Bob Prokop
Sports Staff Columnist
The even distribution of tal
ent in the Big Eight Confer
ence is quit evident from
the Daily Nebraskan All-Big
Eight selections. Five teams
claim one member each on
the mythical All-Stars.
The team has good heighth
with five players 6-3 or taller.
The selections include Tom
Russell (6-7) of Nebraska and
Ken Charlton (6-6) of Colo
rado at forwards, Mike
Wroblewski (6-8) of Kansas
State at the pivot and Jerry
Gardner (6-0) of Kansas and
Iowa State's Vinnie Brewer
(6-3) at the guards.
Kansas State placed one
man on each of the top three
teams and Colorado was rep
resented on the top two
teams, as was Kansas.
Nebraska's only other rep
resentative besides Russell
is Lrarvi reiscn, seiecieu
as a third team guard.
Track Quartet
Trip to Chicago
Track coach Frank Sevigne
plans to take a two-mile re
lay team to the Chicago Daily
News Invitational Relays Fri
day night.'
The quartet billed to repre
sent the Huskers in the an
nual affair include John
Portee, Gil Gebo, Ray Stev
ens, and Mike Fleming.
RUSSELL, Nebraska stellar
forward, is presently second
in the Big Eight scoring
race with an 18.3 average.
"Rebel" set a Husker varsity
scoring record against Kan
sas with a 38 point outburst
and is one of Jerry Bush's
leading rebounders. A team
player, Russell is presently
closing in on the Nebraska
season's scoring record of 438
held by Hershell Turner.
CHARLTON, Colora
do's dandy forward, is cur
rently fifth in the Big Eight
scoring race. His 18.0 clip
along with his fine leader
ship merits his selection. His
35 point effort against Kan
sas Monday night sent the
Buffalo's into first place in
the Big Eight.
WROBLEWSKI, Kansas
State center, is the giant of
the team at 6-8. Mike has
led the Wildcats in rebound
ing and scoring, (17.1) and
pulled the Kansas State team
into a tie with Colorado (pre
vious to Monday night) with
a tremendous game in their
60-48 win over the Buffs.
GARDNER, Big Eight scor
ing leader with a 19.0 mark,
has been heralded as the best
Kansas guard in the school's '
history. Gardner has the best ;
outside shot in the league and '
can drive any team wild
when he's hitting the bucket.?
Extremely quick and a good
driver, Gardner is a unani
mous selection for the guard
position. j
His running mate, ;
BREWER from Iowa State,!
can play either forward or j
guard. Brewer, hitting at a ;
12.9 clip, has been converted!
to a feeder this year rather j
than a shooter. He still has i
tremendous scoring potential,
however, and is one of the
Cyclones' leading rebounders.
Those who were very close
in the selections race were
Nolen Ellison, Kansas guard
who is third in the Big Eight
scoring race; Ken Doughtv,
Missouri guard, presently
fourth in the Rig Eight scor
ing race; Eddie Bunch, one
of Hank Iba's best at Okla
homa State; Pat McKinzie,
Wildcat forward; and Wilky
Gilmore, Colorado's second
best.
Vrosh Baseball Meeting
There will be an impor
tant meeting for all men in
terested in playing fresh-
man baseball at 7 p.m. in
the N Club Room in the
Coliseum Monday, March
12, according to Coach Bob
Gates.
Frosh Play
KS Tonight
Coach Bob Gates' Nebraska
frosh will be trying to avenge
ar. earlier loss and close the
season with a three-game win
streak as they host the Kansas
State yearlings tonight at 5:45
p.m. '
After dropping the opener
of the four-game series to
Kansas State, 65-46, at Man
hattan, the Huskers have
downed Iowa State. 78-77, and
Luther Junior College, 74-67
on the Husker court.
Nebraska had an early edse
over K-State in the earlier
game, but couldn't hold down
the Wildkittens after inter
mission. A win tonight would give
Gates a 3-1 mark in his ini
tial season in the collegiate
coaching ranks, after a suc
cessful high school career at
Omaha Holy Name.
Larry Bornschlegl of Ge
neva tops the scoring honors
along with former Lincoln
High ace Gary Haas. Haas
has played in one less game
and has a total output of 116
as compared to Bornschlegl's
124 and Bob Cook's 117.

ing his total
m 1 1 estone
crackers to
four and he
has a strong
chance to
break three
more as the
season ends.
..His 16 Swett
points against the Sooners
gave him 401 points for the
season. This breaks the mark
held by Jim Buchanan for a
senior, set at 400 in 1951-52.
Two Free Throws
Russell needs only two free
throws against K-State to
break the record of 136 set
by Herschell Turner in 1958
59. He is assured of setting
records in field goal percen
tage both for one season and
for a career. He has a season
percentage of .564 compared
to the record of .483 set bv
himself last year. His career
record is .526 compared with
the record of .429 set by Rex
Ekwall in 1954-57.
The 6-7 veteran forward has
a long shot at three other
records, needing only 19
points to tie and 24 to break
the career scoring average of
14.7 set by Turner in 1957-60
Russell must hit 28 points
to break the all-time season
scoring mark for one season
set by Gary Rcimers in 1957-
58.
Russell's 401 points for the
season gives him a total of
701 for his two years as
Husker. This total moves him
into ninth place among all
time Nebraska scorers. He
needs only five against Kan
sas State to move ahead of
Willard Fagler and 14 would
put him into seventh place
ahead of Bill Johnson. Fred
Seger is in sixth with 762
points.
End College Careers
lhe three other seniors
Swett, Bowers, and Elle
will be winding up their col
legiate careers in tonight s
finale for Jerrv Bush's 1961-
62 team.
Swett has performed three
years as a starting guard and
Bowers has filled in at the
pivot spot as
aval li
able boards
man. Elle has
saw little ac
tion in h i s
three years
on the NU
varsity.
The four
seniors would
like nothing
better than to
aid in a NU win over the Wild
cats. However, the game shap
cats. However, the game
shapes up as a "must" for
Coach Tex Winter's 'Cats he
cause a Husker win would
completely eliminate Kansas
State from a chance to tie
for the Big Eight champion
ship, giving Colorado sole
possession of the title.
'Only Chance'
"Kansas State will be going
all out because their only
chance is to win, then hope
Kansas can beat Colorado,"
Bush said.
K-State, now 11-2 in the con
ference, was tied for the loop
lead till its loss to Oklahoma
State. O-State, incidentally,
hit at a 71.9 field goal clip to
stun the wildcats.
The Wildcats are led by 6-8
center Mike Wroblewski,' who
hit 31 points against the Cow
boys, and is considered one
of, if not the best, big men
in the conference.
5-8 Record
ine nusKers win carry a
5-8 loop record and 9-15 sea

Win Breaks Losing String
The victory broke a three
game Husker losing streak as
the Huskers continued to hit
on the road, chalking up their
third road win of the year
The game was decided
when sophomore guard Daryl
Petsch hit a bucket with four
seconds left in the overtime
to get Nebraska some sweet
revenge while
still in Okla
homa. NU
lost due to a
similar last
second shot
by Oklahoma
State's Moe
Iba Saturday
night when
the Cowboys
topped the
Huskers by
one point.
The score in the OU-NU
game was tied at 67-67 at the
end of the regular playing
time as the Sooners erased
a six-point deficit on three
straight baskets by Warren
Fouts in the final four min
utes. First Blood
NU drew first blood in the
overtime (after failing to get
off a shot in the first three
trips down the court) when
Elle
Petsch hit from the outside.
Eddie Evans of Oklahoma
countered on a long jumper
to tie it at 69-69 with 2:43
left.
The Huskers stalled the rest
of the way, playing for one
last shot, which Petsch canned
through on.
Evans led the scoring with
19 while Petsch was high for
NU with 18. His 18 counters,
coupled with 24 against OSU
Saturday, boosted him into
second place among Husker
scorers with 29 points.
Russell hit 16 for Nebraska
and Swett and Vincent each
scored 14. Swett got all but one
of his points in the last half
while Vincent, soph center,
kept Nebraska in the game
in the first half, scoring all
14 of his points in the first
period.
Nebraska, a 1 1 e r iraumg
most of the first half, took a
42-36 halftime lead and led
most of the way in the sec
ond canto until OU's final
sprint tied the game.

UNITED WE STAND
The entire academic world is agog ovor the success of the
Associated Collopps Plan ACP, for short. I mean, yon go to
any campus in the country these days and you will see students
and faculty dancing on the green, blowing penny whistles,
grabbing each other by the elbows and yelling, "About that
ACP, Charley-like war!"
And wIki can blame them? The ACP is a plan not only simply
brilliant, but also brilliantly simple. All it is, is a loose regional
federation of small colleges. Iet's say, for example, that in a
given region we have a group of small colleges, each with its
own academic specialty. Small College No. 1, let's say, h.m a fin
language department; Small College No. 2, let's say, has a fine
science department; No. 3 hius a fine music department; etc., etc.
Well sir, under the ACP these various colleges federate. A
student in any one of the colleges can take courses in the se
cialty of any of the other colleges and here's the beauty part!
he will receive credit for the course at his home colbge. Thus
lie enjoys all the advantages of a big university without losing
the comfy cozine.s of a small college!
Well sir, yon can see what a good idea the ACP is. I respect
fully submit, however, that just because a thing is good is no
reason not to try to make it better. Like, for instance, Marlboro
Cigarettes. Marlboros were good from the very beginning, and
people found out quickly and sales zoomed. Put did the makers
of Marlboro say, "Okay, we've got it made. Ix't's relax"?
Well sir, if that's what you think, you don't know the makers I
They did not relax. They took their good Marlboros and kepk
improving them. They improved the filter, improved the blend,
improved the pack. They reswirched and developed tirelessly,
until today Marlboro is just almut the most admirable cigarette,
you can put a match to. There are, in fact, some iopIe who
find Marlboros so admirable they can't bear to put a match to
them. They just sit with a single Marlboro in hand and admire
it for ten, twelve years on end. The makers of Marlboro are of
course deeply touched by this-except for E. Rennic Sigafoos,
the sales manager.
But I digress. The ACP, I say, is good but it tun be better.
Why should the plan be confined to small colleges? Why should
it lie confined to a limited region? Why not include all collegt
ami universities, big and small, wherever they are?
I-et's start such a federation. loot's call it the "Bigger Asso
ciated Colleges To Encourage Richer Intellectual Activity"
BACTERIA, for short!
. ...
XT'
IOOCIOCK
What a bright new world BACTERIA opens up. Take for
example, a typical college student-Hunrath Sigafoos (son,
incidentally, of the Marlboro sdes manager). Hunrath, a brif'ht
lad, currently majoring in burley at the University of Ken
tocky. Under the BACTERIA plan, Hunrath could stay at
Kentucky, where he has made many friends, but at the sama
time broaden his vistas by taking a course in constitutional law
at Harvard, a course in physics at Caltech, a course in frostbite
at Minnesota and a course in poi at Hawaii !
I admit there are still a few bugs in BACTERIA. How for
instance could Hunrath attend a 9 o'clock class at Harvard,
a 10 o clock class at Hawaii, an 11 o'clock class at Minnesota,
and still keep his lunch date at Kentucky? It would be idle to
deny that this is a tncky problem, but I have no doubt American
ingenuity will carry the day. Always remember how they
hughe at Ed.son and Fuiton-and particularly at Walter
Clavicle who invented the collarbone.
, . tlHHu.aj.1.,
Three cheer, for American ingenuity, which gare um the
ACP the collarbone and MGM . . . thaVt the a?"
meted taste. Settle back and enjoy one. You yet a lot to Ui.
