Kansas hopes to snap one basketball streak and maintain another this weekend when it tackles Nebraska and Missouri in a double-header road-trip Saturday and Monday nights.
The Jayhawkers will move into Lincoln Saturday with a bead drawn on the Scarlet's four-game winning skein over them on Coliseum boards. Not since Charlie Black set a modern Big Seven free throw record of 12 and scored 24 points in 1946 has Kansas measured the Cornhuskers on Nebraska boards.
This is the longest Husker home-court victory string over KU in the 100-game series between the two schools, and the fourth triumph last year, 57-58, was one of the small items which cost the Jayhawks clear claim to the 1950 conference crown.
N. U. won this one when Bus Whitehead, its deft center, pumped through 19 first half points and closed with 26 overall. Meanwhile Clyde Lovellette, huge Jayhawk ace, was gathering only 12, one of the poorest nights of his college career.
Nebraska whacked Kansas, 52 to 34, at Lincoln in 1949, snowed the Jayhawks 70-64 in '48 in the series' heaviest scoring binge, and wiped out a 13-point deficit at halftime to
snare a 48 to 46 victory in 1947.
The Huskers, broadsided 79 to 50 by Kansas State last Monday, could climb out of the Big Seven cellar by toppling Kansas, providing Colorado nips Iowa State at Boulder on the same night. Nebraska now stands at 1-4, a full game off the sixthplace pace of the Cyclones.

I team reboubinding, Lovellette with 151. He is followed by Hoagland, 63; Kenney, 52; Lienhard, 43, and Hoag 27.
Bob Kenney follows in scoring with 131 points, Bill Lienhard, 104; Bill Hougland, 87; and Charlie Hoag trails with 38 points among the starters.
FACTS and FIGURES...Lovellelette in scoring with 368 points for a 23.0 average a game. He also pairs his teammates in field goal attempts, 368; field goals, 169; field goal percentage, 46; free throws attempted, 46; free throws scored, 30, and in personal fouls with 63.
gang must sweep both of these engagements to hang near league-leading Kansas State in what is taking shape as a two-team run for the 1951 Big Seven bunting. The Wildcats now are riding the crest at 6-0, a game and a half ahead of the second place Hawkers.
At the free throw line, Bull has hit three for three for a perfect percentage mark. He is followed by Kenney; 81; Houghtland, 67; Lovellette, 66; Hoag, 57, and Lienhard with two for six for 33 per cent.
Monday's picture at Columbia is entirely different. The Jayhawks will be working on an amazing six-game winning streak over the Tigers on the latter's home court. Viewed in the light of Missouri's almost annual ambushing of the Mt. Oreadans at Columbia during the George Edwards era, this skink runs as the
addest phenomenon in current Big Seven basketball.
Missouri could climb into the middle of the race by upsetting both Kansas schools. The Tigers invade Manhattan Saturday. They hold their place at 2-2.
-KU-
Even during 1948 and 49 when the Jayhawks sunk into the loop dungeon as co-teants, they were able to level the Black and Gold in Brewer fieldhouse. Last year Lovellette unwrapped a 29-point salvo to pace KU. 48 to 44.
In '49, 13 first half points from substitute forward Guy Mabry and 20 tallies overall from center Gene Petersen sunk the Tigers, 55-37. Guard Bill Sapp, never a high scorer, came through with the biggest night of his college carer, an 18-pointer in '48, to lift the Jayhawks home, 58-57.
Bob Nelson, University Daily Kansas sports editor, and Ray Soldan, UDK sports writer, left early this afternoon for Lincoln, Nebr., with the Kansas basketball team to cover Saturday night's K.U.-N.U. basketball game and the Kansas-Nebraska indoor dual track meet to be held at 6 p.m. Saturday.
These writers will also accompany the K.U. cage team to Columbia, Mo., Sunday, where Kansas plays Missouri on Monday night. This game story and statistics will appear in Tuesday's paper.
Coverage of the basketball game and track meet will be found in Monday's Kansan.
He thinks one of the reasons for this is the absence of last year's captain and guard, Claude Houchin, whose consistent scoring produced 196 points and an average of 7.8 points a game for the season. Another is the failure of K.U.'s reserves to score when they are in the game, thus, placing too much scoring burden on the starters.
Charlie Black's 17 points fueled Kansas home on top 48-38 in 1947. "The Hawk" combined with Otto Schnellbacher to score 30 points as
The 5-foot 5-inch Louderback is known among the players as "Igor, the Keeper of the Monster." (The Monster being none other than "Cloudburst" Lovellette—who needs Wayne as "Mr. Tabulation" to help sportwriters keep track of his scoring exploits. Louderback is quick to point out that this year's regulars are all above their last year's average marks, yet the team's 56.3 points a game is 4.6 points less than last year.
EXPERT WATCH REPAIR
this pair of greats paced the 1946 triumph at Columbia, 50-34. Kansas won 45-28 in 1945, after losing a non-conference game to the Tigers in Kansas City, 39-48.

Wayne Louderback, student manager for the K.U. basketball team, has passed along some facts and figures on the Jayhawkers that reveal some interesting information. In Kansas' first 16 games, big Clyde Lovellette is setting the pace in all offensive departments except free throw percentage.
