Latest reports on Allen, who is at the Lincoln General hospital, give hii condition as satisfactory. With the spacious coliseum couit available, both teams will be able to make full use of their offensive tactics. fast break has been hampered by limited playing space, and the band of sharpshooters will have more room in which to maneuver for open set shots. Two of the best high school centers will be on display. Bob Pierce of Lincoln and Fritz Davis of Northeast have paced their teams all season in scoring and are adept performers under either bankboard.

Pierce leads the high school and Dick Darling will be at guards. PLENTY or SUBS. Fourteen Lincoln players will be in suit for the battle. In addition to the starting five, Weyand scorer, is clr behind a 1 with 115 points and looms as a big threat to the NE undefeated record. The Rockets have relied on team balance throughout the sea.son.

When Davi.s was not hitting Gayic Voller, Mark Martin or Dick Darling was ready with enough points to pull the suburban quintet over the hump. Coach Weyand has indicated that he will start Pierce at center, Means and Bob Good at forwards and bespectacled John Moore and Warren Dunn at guards. The backcourt spots have bothered the Link.s all year, but Moore and Dunn have turned in steady showings in recent games. For Northeast Mark Martin and either Dick Allen or Bob Knighi will start at the forwards, Davis will be at center and Gayle Voller eluding either Dick Allen or Knight. Others are Bruce Marvin Dudley, Gene NeUion, Boyd Thompson, Cozier Kline and Bob Norton.

Tickets for the high school bat- I tie are 75 and will be on i sale the day of the game at Law- Mayo Drug and Harry Par' from 9:30 to 5:30, Davis and Darling will serve as co-caplains for Northeast while Dick Means will in a similar i apacity for the Links.

A loose pair of sweat pants worn by Carl Samuclson, the Cornhusker All-Big Six gridiron tackle, provided the most thrilling part of the program at the South Dakota State- braska a tball mix at the coliseum Tuesday eve.

As somewhat of a minor attraction, the rnhuskers used 31 men in trouncing South Dakota State, 53-3L before 5,500 yawning fans. Minus the ace scorer, Jim Schmidt, who sprained an ankle Monday night, the inept Jackrabbits appeared to be wearing invisible boxing gloves. Samuclson and his football mates wore visible boxing gloves as they entertained at halftime with a commando basketball game. The halftime entertainment brought the only vocal response from the crowd, bored as the Huskers led overwhelmingly, 31-13, at the half and could not stop despite a clean sweep of the bench. The new glass bankboards, a 2,000 project, were simply too easy for the Huskers to hit.

Harry Franz and Don Mohlenhoff shoved the Dakotana into a mere 8-12 deficit after four minutes of play, thus causing the only threat of the evening. Coach Harry Good jerked his first team after 11 minutes with the score, 26-9. In that brief interim, Claude Retherford bagged 12 points for scoring honors of the evening and Bob Cerv netted six for second high. GRIDDERS THRILLING.

He was nearly stopped at the three-yard line by Jerry Jacupke and Ed Nyden, but Mike DiBia.se sprung him loose with a combination half nelson and shoulder block. Mike, a 230-pounder, later joined Samuclson in the scoring ranks with a 35-yard sprint down the west sidelines for a basket. Although the big boy forgot to dribble, that mere technicality was overlooked by the referee.
