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."

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. Irwin Goodman,
who threw the discus with con
sistency over 135 feet las season,

36 WRESTLERS TO VIE
MY I
J. Adams Encourages More
Men to Enter Mat
Meet April 15.
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.

Rain Casts Damper
On Grid Activities
Weather Good for Ducks
But Disconcerting to
Pigskin Pushers.
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

E
I Favorites Come Thru With

I Rain halted action in Greek
intramural horseshoe play yester

orites bobbed up with wins.
Phi Sigma Kappa won on a
forfeit from Lambda Chi Alpha,
and the Delta Upsidon-Xi Psi Phi
failed to materialize when both

of these fraternities have tossed
the iron shoes for three and two

inated by the Kappa Siga with
a brace of 4-0 wins to their credit.
No defeats mar their record.
