Up-and-Down Huskers Could Stop Jayhawks
Nebraska will be attempting to end a 3-year drouth suffered at the hands of Kansas, in first place in the Big Seven, when the up-and-down Cornhuskers invade Hoch auditorium Saturday night.
Nebraska, tied with Colorado for third place in the tightly-packed Big Seven race, has a 3-3 conference record, including an 80-67 blasting of Kansas State last Saturday at Lincoln.
The Cornhuskers have not beaten the Jayhawks since 1950. They did it then at Lincoln, 57-56. Kansas then proceeded to sweep the 1951 and 1952 series, and have picked up two more victories this year. KU pulled away in the closing minutes of play to win 73-66 in the Big Seven tournament in Kansas City, and sparked by a 34-point performance by center B. H. Born, whipped the Huskers at Lincoln last month, 65-59.
Nebraska launched their conference season by running over Colorado at Boulder, 80-65, then lost to KU and last place Iowa State. 78-60. They rebounded to whip Missouri, 73-62, and scored a big upset last week by shelling Kansas State.
But the Cornhuskers promptly regained their losing ways Monday night when Colorado took an 86-78 decision at Lincoln.
Thus the Cornhuskers have shown they are capable of rolling over anyone on a given night. If they do it Saturday, they will have
pulled one of the major surprises of the 1952-53 season.
Six foes have invaded Hoch this year, including two squads in the top ten in press polls. And six foes have left Hoch after receiving thorough truncings, the latest being Oklahoma. KU ran the Sooners into the Hoch planks to record an 87-59 victory Tuesday night.
Nebraska has plenty of height to throw at the Jayhawkers. Center Bill Johnson stands 6 foot 7 inches, guards Joe Good and Fred Seger are 6-1/3 and 6-4, and forwards Willard Fagler and Don Weber are 6-5 and 6-3.
All are capable of great performances as is evidenced by the Nebraska win over Kansas. State II would be in for a great deal of trouble.
Nebraska should have an added incentive in that the Cornhuskers took one of the worst Big Seven losses in recent years last year at Hoch, being drubbed 90-52.
A Kansas victory would give the Jayhawkers a 6-2 conference record and set the stage for a showdown battle with Kansas State's Wildcats at Manhattan Tuesday night.

3 Teams Boost Bid for Honors
New York —(LUP)—Seton Hall, North Carolina State and Notre Dame boosted their bids for national basketball honors with impressive victories last night, but Cornell blew a chance to tie for the Ivy league leadership.
Cornell had been leading the famed old Ivy league circuit until it dropped a 1-point decision to Pennsylvania, the new leader, last Saturday.
Last night the Big Red got the chance to tie Penn for first by beating Princeton, but instead Princeton led all the way to win, 59-50. Center Foster Cooper paced the Tigers with 19 points as they drove to a 31-25 halftime lead and then held off a late Cornell rally. Lee Morton of Cornell won scoring honors with 23 points, but that was hollow consolation.
The loss drops Cornell down to third place behind Penn (5-1) and Columbia (3-1).
Seton Hall, the only major unbeaten team in the nation, had some trouble gaining its 23rd victory of the year, 62-49, over Siena, a "jins" club in recent years for the Pirates. Seton Hall led by only 49-45 with five minutes to play when a 3-point play by skyscraping Walt Dukes, who was the game's high scorer with 26 points, broke the game open.
North Carolina State put on one of its most impressive shows of the year as it walloped dangerous Villanova, 94-72, at Raleigh, N.C. Villanova beat the Southern conference leaders last month in Philadelphia, but last night State put on a second-period surge for a 46-30 halftime lead. The Wolfpack failed to stop Villanova's Larry Hennessey, however, as the Wildcat ace sank 22 points. Dick Tytner, with 24 points, was high for State, which now has a 20-4 record.
Notre Dame, held to a 50-48 lead at the end of the third period, finished with a scoring blaze to beat Louisville, 73-62, at South Bend.
