Huskers Drop Jayhawks from Lead; Sooners to Visit Campus Tomorrow
Smarting under a 59-45 defeat handed them by the cellar-dwelling Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln Saturday night, the second place Kansas Jayhawkers will assume the giant-killer role tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium when they tangle with the high-flying Oklahoma Sooners in a crucial conference contest.
The Kansans took an early lead in the upset Saturday evening, but the Cornhuskers came up quick to go into a lead they never relinquished. The score at half-time stood 30-24 for Nebraska.
Coach Fell Out With Team
The jugged Nebraska lineup concentrated the offensive strength at the center position, and made every shot count. The Nebraskans were at their best on their own boards under strange circumstances. Coach "Lew" Lewandowski, Cornhusker coach, had a fight with the team last "Tuesday, and an army coach drilled the squad during the days just before the Kansas game. His regime evidently gave the Nebraskans the fight they needed, for they hit a phenomenal percentage of their shots from the field, netting six straight in the first half. The Kansas total was enough to beat a good ball club, but the home five had everything in their favor.
Starters Not Announced for O.U.
Tomorrow night's Oklahoma game promises to be one of the best battles on the Hoch auditorium boards this season, since the Sooners are currently riding high in first place.
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen stated this morning that the starters tomorrow evening would remain anonymous until game time, indicating that there is something brewing. Allen was enthusiastic in his praise ef Gordon Reynolds, hot shot forward, and Kirk Scott, guard, and their performances Saturday night. The Box Score
