KU to Invade Huskerland
Al Maxey—Leading Nebraska scorer.
The Jayhawkers invade Nebraska Saturday night in hopes of regaining their winning ways after their 82-72 defeat at the hands of K-State Wednesday. The Cornhuskers will be trying to break a three game losing streak.
The Cornhuskers have only lost one of seven games on their home court this year. The single loss was to K-State by seven points.
A pair of Indianapolis, Ind., players, who have migrated to Huskerland, will be the Jayhawkers' chief opponents. They are sophomore Al Maxey, who has a 16.1 average, and junior Herschell Turner, following closely with a 15.8 average.
Turner, who measures 6-2, and Maxey, who is just an inch taller, are both blessed with quickness. Both have developed shots and ball handling techniques which have won the roaring approval of Husker followers.
Coach Jerry Bush ranks Turner's hanging jump shot, "A Paul Arizin type of shot," as the one with the most spectator appeal. The fact that the shot frequently results in two Husker points makes it doubly attractive to the coach. Bush said Turner also has good moves for his size and is an excellent rebounder.
Turner, who pumped in 30 points when Nebraska defeated Oklahoma State in the Big Eight pre-season tournament, is a dead-eye from outside and is one of Nebraska's top defensive men.
Bush is lavish in his praise of Maxey.
"Of all the boys I've ever coached, Maxey has the most hustle and desire. He just never stops." Maxey has often put on a one-man pressin' defense which has forced opponents into many errors. Maxey played prep ball for Crispus Attucks, the same high school which produced the fabulous Oscar Robertson.
Rounding out the Huskers' starting line will be Bob Harry, 6-6 center, forward Jim Kowalke, 6-3 and guard Wayne Hester, 6-2.
Bush appreciates what Turner and Maxey have done for Nebraska basketball, but he is quick to point out that whatever success the team enjoys is due to an "all for each other" team effort.

Robinson May Meet Moore
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — (UPI) — Archie Moore and Sugar Ray Robinson will fight for Moore's light heavyweight crown, probably in June, if they can come to terms on splitting the purse.
That was disclosed today by Truman Gibson, president of the dissolving International Boxing Club of New York.
Preliminary conferences were concluded here last night among Gibson, middleweight champion Robinson, Jack Kearns — Moore's manager — Robinson's advisors, George Gainford and Harold Johnson, and Jim Norris—Former boxing ear.
Gibson explained: "Robinson said latly he wanted to fight and that he wanted to fight Archie Moore.
"This was the first time he had made it clear on both points; that he wanted to fight and that Moore is the person rather than Carmen Basilio (ex-middleweight champion)." Robinson's, 160-pound title would
