Nebraska Wins Playoff 57 To 56
Nebraska won the right to meet Oklahoma A. and M. in the N.C.A.A. fifth district playoff by outhustling the Oklahoma Sooners and handing them a 57 to 56 defeat.
The Sooners built up an early lead and then saw the Cornhuskers fight back to go ahead 8 to 7 with $3\frac{1}{2}$ minutes gone in the game. After that the Cornhuskers held the lead except for one tie at 18-all. They left the court with a halftime advantage of 27 to 25.
Throughout the second half the Huskers led from 3 to 8 points. The Sooners seemed always to be able to come close but never had quite enough to get ahead. Nebraska's tall team out rebounded the co-champions from Norman and controlled the ball most of the time.
The Sooner's stars—Waters, Glasgow, and Courty—had bad nights with their shooting. Even Claudie Rethertford, the Nebraska scoring ace and Big Seven scoring champion, couldn't hit consistently.
The Sooners were behind 9 points, 44 to 53, with four minutes left and it looked like Nebraska's game. Then Ken Pryor sank a long shot, Marcus Freierberger made a free, throw and a basket to put life back into the Sooners. With the Husker lead cut to 4 points, Merchant connected for 2 more points.
Retherford sank a long shot for Nebraska and Freiberger added another free throw. That was the end of the scoring as the Huskers held the ball. The desperate Sooners tried hard to get the ball but only succeeded in fouling the stalling Nebraskans.
Joe Malacek, who was the spark in the Cornhuskers play all night, checked the Sooner scoring spurt with a free throw, but Freiberger added 2 more free throws to make the score 55 to 54 with 2 minutes and 11 seconds to go.
The fifth district N.C.A.A. playoff is tomorrow night in Kansas City Mo. The Oklahoma Aggie coach Hank Iba, was an interested spectator at the game.

Visiting Out For Players
Cincinnati, March 15—(U.P.)—Major league baseball players no longer will be permitted to mingle with fans and friends before a ball game, according to one of several playing rules changes announced Monday by baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler.
The amendments, made at the meeting of the baseball rules committee at Sarasota, Fla., March 3, were released Monday through the commissioner's office herp. They will become effective immediately.
The major rule change says that players in uniform "shall not be permitted to occupy seats in the stands, nor to mingle with the spectators." It goes on to say that no manager, captain, coach or player shall address the spectators nor shall players of opposing teams fraternize.
Other amendments state that a manager can be fined and suspended if his team refuses to play, and that a pitcher's glove must be uniform and dark in color. Minor changes of a technical nature also were made.

Snap, Crackle, Pop Go The Denizens Of Davey Jones' Mysterious Locker
Auckland, New Zealand—(U.P.)-Whales whoop, porpoises giggle, shrimp snap and toadfish coo like pigeons, believe it or not.
Records played by oceanographers to startled scientists at the Pacific Science Congress in Auckland proved the ocean just isn't the silent place some people think.
Fish even get together at certain times of the day to join in chorus. Dr. Martin W. Johnson of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography played the "summertime chorus" off the pier at the institute in California to prove it. It sounded like feeding time at the zoo.
A croaker drumming on its air bladder in Chesapeake bay rattles like a machine gun. A spot-fin croaker emerits a distinct "raspberry," later moving into high-pitched syn-coped clicking, reminiscent of a jazz band drummer, to which Dr Johnson beat time.
A gurnard, a fish common in New Zealand waters, expressed itself with a dissatisfied grunt.
Dr. Johnson's most spectacular record was the seldom-head giggle of the porpoise, followed by a whistle like a wolf call. He played an elephant-like trumpet—the love call of a hump-back whale. Also recorded was the agonized moaning of some unidentified "lost soul," 200 miles off San Diego.
Upsets Mark Tourney Play
New York, March 14—U.P. The valiant Braves from Bradley university upset third-seeded Western Kentucky, 95 to 86, Monday at Madison Square Garden to reach the semi-finals of the National Invitation basketball tournament in a game that broke the tourney scoring record.
The finding of the snapping of shrimps resulted when static spoiled reception of war-time hydrophones in the United States and New Zealand. At first it was suspected to be volcanic noise, but later it was found some sorts of shrimp snap with appendages designed to squirt emerald enamel cordings of thousands of shrimps at San Diego and Pearl Harbor sounded more like the crackling of a bushfire.
Many fish noises were discovered in war-time research into undersea listening devices. Some are so loud they easily could mask the sound of propellors and possibly explode acoustic mines or torpedoes.
The Midwesterners scored their thrilling triumph with a gallant comeback after they trailed by 10 points in the opening minutes of the second half. In the semi-finals they meet Loyola of Chicago who upset mighty Kentucky 67 to 56.
By combining to score 181 points, Bradley and Western Kentucky smashed the old Invitation scoring mark of 161 points for a single game. The old mark was set in Rhode Island State's 82 to 79 triumph over Bowling Green in 1946.
Crew-cut Paul Unruh, Bradley's talented center, and tiny Gene Melchiorre, a 5-foot, 8-inch shooting and ball- hawking phenomenon, each scored 28 points in leading the Braves to victory.
The Braves, out-reached under the baskets by an average of about three inches per man, made up for what they lacked in height by their aggressiveness, gameness and unering shooting ability. Bradley connected on 41 out of 90 shots from the floor for an amazing .456 shooting average.
"Apparently they are able to keep track of each other by these sounds," Dr. Johnson said.
After falling behind 17 to 24 midway in the first half, Bradley fought back to tie the score at 33-all at the 14-minute mark, then dropped behind 45 to 50 at half time as the towering hilltoppers maintained control of the back-boards.
Western Kentucky forged ahead, 60 to 50, in the fourth minute of the second half as Bob Lavoy and Buddy Date repeatedly out-reached the Braves to score vital tip-in points, but still Bradley wouldn't quit.
Loyola of Chicago, who was invited to the National Invitational tournament as an afterthought, scored the biggest upset of the day by handing Kentucky their first defeat since they bowed to St. Louis December 30. It was Loyola's 24th victory against 5 defeats.
St. Louis, the defending tournament champion, was knocked out of the running by Bowling Green as the Ohio team won 80 to 74. San Francisco won a thrilling game from Utah with a goal in the last five seconds. The final score was 64 to 63.
Denver Fights For AAU Win
Oklahoma City, March 15—(U.P.) The third-seeded Denver Chevroletso had more trouble than they expected as they defeated Nebraska Wesleyan 49 to 40, in a National A.A.U. basketball tournament match.
The toowering Denverites had things pretty much their own way until midway in the second half when the Nebraska队, sparked by forward Delbert Miller, laid in 12 points while holding Denver scoreless. The rally brought Nebraska Wesleyan within six points of the heavily favored Denver crew,
Members of the faculty and seniors are shaking in their boots afraid that you will nominate them to play in the donkey baseball game that will highlight the senior class day Thursday, May 12. Don't disappoint them! Bring your nominations for either the faculty or senior team to the sports editor of the University Daily Kansas.
Here's A Chance To Get Even
The nominations will be turned over to the senior class day committee. The deadline is Friday, April 29.
Donkey baseball is played much like regulation baseball. The pitcher and catcher are the only players who remain on the ground, however. After the batter hits the ball he rides a donkey around the bases. The outfielders and infielders must stay on their donkeys all of the time.
