On the other hand, the Tigers showed their strength by discourag-
ing the title plans of the rangy Nebraska tsam with a 46-33 triumph
in last week's opener.

Never relinquishing the lead, the Tigers stymied the scoring
thrusts of the touted Huskers esarly in the game and went on to com-
pletely dsmoralize the invaders with a dazzling display of defensive
tactics. For ten minutes, starting seven minutes before the sscond
quarter ended, the Cornhuskers were held scoreless by the air-tight
play of the Missourians.

Meanwhile, the Tigers sharpened thsir basket eyes and feasted on
uncanny scoring sprees throughout the game. Employing chicanery and
carefully planned plays, they mercilessly faked the Nebraskans out of
position time and time again. |

Bill Harvey, as per usual against the Huskers, stole the show.
The pink-cheeked lad led the individual scoring column with 14 points,
six of them coming on successive free throws. Clay Cooper conspired
with Harvey, in the basket-twins act, and rang up ll points.

The Tigers connected with 17 shots out of 58 attempts for a 34

per cent average in the Husker triumph.
