Nebraska Must Whip KU To Remain In Big 7 Lead

nsas will take aim at Nebraska's undefeated conference record tow night in Hoch auditorium in the league-leading Cornhuskers first reference game away from home.
Coach Harry Good's high-scoring club has swept aside its first four Big Seven foes, but all of the games were played on the Cornhuskers'
home court. To stay in first place, Nebraska must beat KU. here tomorrow night and conquer Oklahoma at Norman Monday, a tough assignment for any conference team.
The Jayhawkers must stop the Nebraskans to retain a chance of finishing in the first division. The 53 to 48 loss to Kansas State Wednesday was the fourth defeat in six conference games for Phog Allen's crew.
The Cornhuskers are shooting at their second conference title in history. Their only championship team was the 1937 club which split the honors with K.U. The N.U. starting lineup of Claude Retherford, Milt Whitehead, Joe Malecek, Bob Cerv, and Rodney Cox, averages 6 feet, 3 inches and 189 pounds.
Jerry "The Sheriff" Waugh, K.U.'s brilliant sophomore center, is still hampered with a heel injury suffered in the Iowa State game. The lite 155-pounder from Wellington has missed practice since the K-State game. Maurice Martin, Claude Houchin, who topped the scoring against the Aggies and Gene Petersen will complete the K.U. lineup.
Kansas' chances for a victory may be wrapped up in a possible duel between Gene Petersen, 6 foot, 7 inch Jayhawker forward and Milt Whitehead, 6 foot, 9 inch Husker post man. After hitting 69 points through the Drake, Creighton, and Iowa State games, Petersen counted only four points against K-State.
Whitehead's development into a potent scoring threat and rebounder partly accounts for Nebraska's unexpected success in the league race. The 200-pound junior has hit a little more than 40 per cent of his field goal attempts and 60 per cent of his free throws in racking up an 11.2 average during the season.
Probably the biggest defensive problem for K.U., however, will be Claude Retherford, who has averaged 6.2 points a game in conference play. Playing the "quarterback" position, the unorthodox sharpshooter from French Lick, Ind., has led the Cornhusker scoring the past three seasons.

KU Goes To Boulder For Indoor Meet
All watches timed by Electronics
Still seeking its first win of the indoor season, Coach "Bill" Easton's track squad will travel to Boulder, Colorado this week-end for a dual meet with the Colorado Buffaloes.
Thoroughly trounced by Nebraska $79 \frac{1}{2}$ to $24 \frac{1}{2}$ at Lincoln, the Jayhawkers are expected to make a stronger showing against the Buffs. Bob Karnes, champion distance ace, will run the mile and two mile Saturday. Karnes, suffering from the effect of a cold, did not participate in the two mile against the Cornhuskers.
Record breaker Pat Bowers, who is shooting for the Big Seven half mile crown is also expected to be in top shape according to Coach Easton. Bowers set a new Nebraska field house record the past Saturday, running the half in 1:57.8.
Rodney Cox, 6-feet, 3-inch forward for the league leading Nebraska Cornhuskers, who will start tomorrow night when Coach Harry Good's hustlers attempt to make it four wins in a row over the Kansas Jayhawkers.
International air express shipments with daily flights from the United States to over 70 Latin American countries have been inaugurated, including Chile, Central America, and the Canal Zone.
