Our apologies are preferred to two grldders of more than aver age merit for their omission from tlio list, of dramatic footballers. We mentioned John "Heloiso" Howell, ace quart er, and Ada Dori an n, heavy guard, as Kos-Wit-t Klub bur Sesk queens, but there are oth ers. Thurston Thelps, triple t h r a t e nlng h a 1 f b a c k, Is even a higher cliiss theatrical mortal as he loads in "Bar M n h I n e Ranch- Just as THURSTON PHELPS he does in foot- -rmm sit Journal ball. Phelps plays the role of a sober-faced judge and those in the know tell us that his portrayal is ton shades better than good. On the gridiron, too, Phelps has nein me pui llght. Daily his passing and punting grows better. Last year It was nothing to sneeze at as he pinch bitted In some plenty crushal games. In last Satur day's scrim mage, you re member, it was he who was on the throwing TED DOYLE cncl of tne Pass -Fiwn stt journal for the second touchdown. Another burly of the sod, who has swnpopd mud on the face for grease paint, is Ted Doyle, bulky varsity guard. Doyle is the boy who proved he could do it in glit tering manner when he tackled everything that ran from the Minensota bench last year. Since that time, he has climbed upward with the speed of a dog-pursued kitten. For pure yarns with connection to athletics," the unraveler of th.e following takes the quart of con science bracer. "It seems that there was a big league pitcher who once lost a hurling positon because there was a left hander who was better. Since that day he has held a heart full of vengeance for every south sider. "One day the moundsman was sauntering down the avenue with the gal friend. They came upon a ragged and cold looking beggar putting up the usual pencil vend ing moan. Sympathy provoked a two bit piece from his pocket and they walked on feeling their duty done. " 'Did you notice that the poor man was left handed?' the sweet young thing asked the port side venger. "Turning around, the pitcher beheld the beggar holding the cup in his left mitt. With that he walked back and calmly snitched his twenty-five cents from its tin chamber." It may be true, but we don't believe that even a baseball player would be so "base." ft v'W S-V. . 3BtS TMJKSDAY. APIUL 8. 1937 THE DAILY NRBKASKAN THREE Trackmen to Face Minnesotans Here Nebraska Cinder Artists To Hold First Meet With Gophers. It will be a Big Ten representa tive against a Big Six member as Minnesota and Nebraska clash at Memorial stadium Saturday after noon in a track dual. The meet has been scheduled to get under way at 1:30 that afternoon, and it will be the inaugural dual for both schools. Returning with the spoils from the recent Texas Relays, the Corn huskers began immediately to de vise schemes of toppling the Nordics, whom they submerged Inst year at Minneapolis by an 80-43 count. Forced to work under the east stadium because of an all day rain, more than 50 runners reported to Coach Henry F. Schulte. ' "I'll be tickled to death if we can beat them," said Coach Schulte when queried on the Corn hiiokrrs' chance of defeating the Gophers. There was no trace of irony in that laconic statement, for the Minnesota squad is re puted to be much stronger than it was last year. The visitors have a new coach this season, Jim Kellev. who was formerly con nected with DePaul university in Chicago, and he has neon aoing creditable things with the Gophers. Tryouts Held. Recently the Minnesota team held teani tryouts and the times divulged in this contest portend that a battle is in the making at Lincoln Saturday. A junior, rtoger Verran, tied his field house record fnr the 10(1 vard dash with a clocking of 10" seconds flat while his sophomore team mate, t.a Hepp, was caught in 10.2. Later in the trials, Hepp stepped the izn in 23.z. Bob Hanson ran the 120 yard high hurdles for the visitors in 15.4 seconds while Bob Hubbard broad jumped over 22 feet 10 inches. Bob Blotcky showed that he was in fine fettle by trotting the 440 yard dash in 51.8 seconds. Erie Harslem and Fhil Anderson turned in times of 2:02 and 2:03, respectively, in the 880. With the exception of Capt. Dominic Krez owski, Big Ten shot put champ last, year, the boys from the north ern school are not very strong i nthe field events. Nursing a sore wrist, Krezcw ski got off a throw of nearly 50 feet last week.

More than 32 wrestling aspirants are expected to be on hand when the annual university numeral meet geta under way on the col iseum mat Thursday, April 15, at four o'clock. The final bouts are scheduled for the next afternoon. Jerry Adams, coach of the var sity wrestlers, stated that all novices are encouraged to come out for instruction on the mat in the dressing room of the coliseum. Letterman Julius Whitman and Milburn Knight will assist the coach with those that need help. Few men have entered the 118 and 126 pound classes and Coach Adams says there is still plenty of room in those events. Winners Get Sweaters. The winner in each event will be awarded a numeral sweater while the loser will receive a silver medal properly engraved. Judging from the partial list of entries it appears a lively scrap is in store for the fans when Lee Clare, Charley Miegel, and Fred Wink mix it up on the mat. Mie gel, Golden Glove boxing champ pion, should be in good condition and aggressive. Whether or not he can tie himself into a knot bet ter than he can sling leather will be seen next week. Clare has been a strong contender for a berth on the varsity grappling team all this season, but Bill Luke and Ed Sauer held on to their positions and Clare was forced to stand by. The Lin coln lad has been working out religiously, however, and is in good shape. Other entries will include George Seaman, Omaha, heavyweight: Ned Anderson, 165; Paul Fidler. Mill Rose, Mont., 165: Ernest Grossman, Omaha, 126; Stan Slos burg, Omaha, 135; Wayne Smiley, Milford, 145; Les Zepp, Omaha. 145 and ag champ in that event: DeLos Johnson, Newman Grove, heavyweight: and Paul Robertson, Madison, heavyweight.

Once again Jupiter Pluvius, rain to you and me. is at large and once again Coach Biff Jones staged a "sheltered" workout. The routine went as usual yesterday moving pictures o p e n ing the drill and d u m m y k r I m ni a g es completing un der the stadium. Coach J o n es opened his spring action on the second day of March. On the second day of March the field was mud dy. On the third day of March the field was muddy. These two davs mat tered little, for the Biffer only wanted to get his boys in suit dur ing that time. Gridiron Freezes. March 3 it began to dry, but bo fore the gridiron was thoroughly so it was frozen. The wind began to blow and the first two scrim mages were staged under highly disagreeable elements. Teeth chat tered like castanets and the fans sought their fires before the games ended. A week of this Borealis stuff followed and never before did the Huskers notice their shortage on sweat shirts so. All during this time the Biffer was holding off with his other barrel of fundamen tals until better weather came, warmer weather. Skies Cry. Well, warmer climate came, but with it came torrents of rain and the Huskers shed their mole skins and donned track apparel. Forsix straight days the gridders pranced under the stadium while the fall ing of the rain over their head mocked them. Then for one day 1t ceased and Jones took his fold to a spongy gridiron. The next day the rain poured down. It poured until vacation and then the boys went home. Upon their return to school, they found frozen pvidlos on the stad ium field until last Monday. On that day Jones found a dry field, a shining sun and all t',e elements to make an ideal pr; ay. He pulled out his hoa scroll of passing drills with ii is only the beginning'' look in his eye. Tuesday it clouded nnd yesterday (lt (iriuuieii ram internally. .eeo anything more be said? Jones has attempted days i of spring practice. All of them ! have been without that "spring" element, save perhaps last Mon ! day. Jones has "rained" here since February 20: Coif Team Aspirants .Musi lleport at Noon Candidates for the Corn huskcr golf team are requested by Coach Biff Jones to attend a meeting this noon In the M club room.. Qualifying plans and other business will be dis cussed at this gathering. It you have any sort of golfing ability, do not hesitate to at tend this meeting.
