By Robert Phipps

Iowa City, Ia—The Huskers
|made a good game out of it
‘here Saturday but failed to
crack lIowa’s fabulous Field
House basket. ball record.

The Hawks won by 60-51 be-

fore 7,800 in a nationally tele-
| vised contest. Iowa has won 67

straight. non-conference victo-

ries in the cavernous building.

Not since January 29, 1942,
has.a non-conference squad_|'
beaten the Hawks here.

Huskers Force Action

It was Coach Jerry Bush’s
greatly improved Nebraska
crew .that forced the action
throughout, .

The Huskers were neve
to tie or go ahead. Their
showing was a 22-21 deficit
the first Half <<.

Shots which the visitors des-
perately needed just wouldn’t
drop. And the” ‘Shots’ ‘looked

| well-directed:

The Hawkeyes, also opening
the season, offered one of those

able

“pat hand” performances, They | mart

had height and experience and
used both well.
Hawks Control Boards

Bill Logan and Bill Schoof
controlled the milling under the
goal most of the time. Logan is
6-6 and a fraction, Schoof 6-6.
They had able assistance from
Tom Payne, who is just as tall.
The Huskers couldn’t get
over this formidable barrier.
They had to nibble around the
edges, forfeiting the best. scor-
ing territory, and try to win on
motion. '

Three Iowa starters—Logan,
Carl Cain and Bill Seaberg—
are regulars from the Big Ten
-|championship outfit of last
year. Schoof also lettered.
Payne, a oe giant, fits
“}in well.

| Schoof

 

They didn’t score until the
Hawks went 8-0. Rex Ekwall,
Smidt and Kubacki. got the
range eventually. r
It was 38-34 at intermission
but only because Smidt’s last- .
second fling dropped through. :
In the second half the Husk-
ers several times got within
two baskets of a tie.. Cain
eventually potted two nifties
in the last three minutes and
the game was over. ’
