Nebraska Wallops Jayhawkers 49-39
Nebraska's tall, stocky basketball team won their fifth straight Big Seven game by defeating Kansas 49 to 39 in Hoch auditorium Saturday night. By winning the hard fought game the Cornhuskers won their first Big Seven game away from home and tightened their lead in the conference basketball race. They now have a 5-0 record.
The game started off at a fast pace with only 40 seconds gone when Gene Peterson, K.U.'s giant forward, hit for the first of two quick field goals. For the first half things were pretty $ \textcircled{2} $
well matched. About 2,500 fans saw an extremely fast game on the court.
After taking an early lead, the Jayhawkers saw the score tied twice and then Nebraska moved out in front to stay. The Cornhuskers were never in serious trouble as they left the floor at halftime with a 27 to 21 edge.
The second period found the Kansas players as cold as the weather outside. They got plenty of chances to shoot the ball, but they couldn't hit even the most simple of shots. Nine minutes of the second half went by before Guy Mabry hit K.U.'s first basket of the period. Coach "Phog" Allen was substituting freely in an effort to get a combination of players on the floor who could hit the basket. After 15 minutes of the second period had passed by only Mabry had hit for any K.U. field goals. He had only three and the Cornhuskers were ahead 44 to 30.
Kansas' players found it hard to hit even free throws in the last half. They missed only 2 out of 7 in the first period, but they failed to make 11 while hitting for 6 in the second period.
The Jayhawkers got more shots at the basket than their opponents but could hit only 14 out of 77 for 18 per cent. They hit 6 of 38 attempts in the second half for 16 per cent. While the Cornhuskers shot only 69 times and made 20 of them good for 29 per cent, they didn't give the impression that they could be beaten easily.
Bus Whitehead, 6-foot, 9-inch Cornhusker center, took the game's scoring honors as he hit 50 per cent of his for 19 points.
For Kansas it was Claude Houchin night. Not only was he honored during halftime ceremonies by his home town friends, but he also took scoring honors for the Jayhawkers with 13 points.
Had the Jayhawkers been able to hit more consistently during the game, the final score might have been different. They were able to play as fast a game as the Nebraskans and showed remarkable ability to get the ball away from the opposing squad.

Finnish Woman Sets World Skating Records
Kongsberg, Sweden, Feb. 14—(U.P.)
—Verne Lesche of Finland salvaged some glory for the Scandanavian countries yesterday when she set a new record for 5,000 meters in the women's world skating championships which were dominated by Russian competitors.
The Finnish woman's time of nine minutes, 26.8 seconds bettered the previous mark of 9.28.3 set by Laila Schou Nielsen of Norway in 1937 at Davos, Switzerland.

With the appointment of Don Fam-brough as freshman football coach, and "Red" Hogan as his assistant, it appears that the caliber of Kansas football will continue on the same high level that it has been for the past three years.
Every football coach will tell you that his chances for a winning team depends largely on the strength of his freshman replacements and the training they receive during their initial year of college football.
Both Fambrough and Hogan are excellent leaders, and both possess enough football experience to be good freshman coaches. They will have a real challenge next fall to develop material for the 1950 edition of the Jayhawkers, because Kansas will lose from fifteen to twenty men after next year. You might think that is looking ahead quite a bit, and that is exactly what Athletic Director E. C. Quigley is doing in choosing Fambrough and Hogan as freshman coaches.
The K.U. baseball fortunes, which have been none too high in the last two years, should receive a much needed "shot in the arm" when Hoogan takes over this spring. "Red" is already making plans to put together a winning nine. He has played with most of the K.U. players himself, and should be able to shot their weaknesses quickly.
Both men are very enthusiastic over their new jobs, and both are eager to show that they can do a good job.
