THE DAILY NEBRASKAN. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 16. I'M PAGE THREE FIJI QUINT COPS CLASS A LAURELS FROM KAPPA SIGS KATTLE 1 OK CKYl EH POSITION IflMI iTiLII 10 FACE CORNELL I C n h A m mm Mm M U I0ICD MATMIC! IIU0iU ,4 S yoiL A SEASON Y t SOONERS HAVE BIG TACKLES Reports from Soonerland indi cate that Coach Tom Stldham will have plenty of beef for the line next fall with seven hefty tackles all over 200 pounds. The list in cludes Gilford "Cactus Face" Dug pan, 215, junior; J. R. Manley, 210, Junior; Howard Teeter, 226, jun ior; Harold "Red" Edgeman, 215, Junior; Wrisht Phebus, 210, soph omore; Harold Lahar, 225, sopho more; Justin Bowers, 218, sopho more, and Albert Ryan, 210, jun ior. Only three of these heavies have had previous experience, Duggan, Manley and Teeter, but all of the candidates have enthusiasm, the report states. Oklahoma follow ers expect a line that will stand up to any class of competition it Is to meet in the 1938 campaigns. Champs Loe. Oklahoma found out that a champion does not always win if there is a let down among the team members. Just a week after the Sooner wrestling quad took possession of the Big Six grap pling crown, Paul V. Keen's mat men lost to the Oklahoma Aggies by the decisive score of 29-3. D. C. Matthews, Roy Stone, and Mar shall Word, all consistent point getters during the campaign pre ceeding the conference meet all tasted defeat at the hands of the Aggies. University of Kansas fans are hoping that the Olympic question will be settled soon and that the games will remain in Tokyo in 1940. The reason for the interest Is that the Kansans want to send the Jayhawk basketball team to the Olmpics in 1940. Before they can make the trip they must win the trial tourney. Many of the players that will be on the K. 17. team in 1940 are not yet in school and what the caliber of the team J will be not even the most opti . mistic fortune teller would haz . isrd a guess. It seems that the Jayhawks are indulging in the well known game of counting their chickens before the eggs are laid. Premature, This pipe dream reminds us of the Rose bowl talk that is pre valent here in Cornhusker land every succeeding football season. More times than one we were the only ones In the country that were even considering the trip to "sunny" California. In the case or ir.e Kose oowi there was no need to participate In an elimina tion tourney yet only one school In the nation is chosen to battle in the annual New Year's day clas sic. Kansas will have to have a good team and it would be more logical to save the enthusiasm un til nearer 1940. en Jonnson, Columbia univer sity's Negro track erptain. has now clinched the title as the "world's fastest human" relieving Jesse Owens of the appelation. Johnson scooted 60 yeards in six seconds last weekend. This is the fastest time ever turned in for the distance and sports authorities think it will be a long time be fore that record Is broken unless Johnson does It. Scherer Leads Phi Gams In Last Hair Rally To Win, 28-22. Thi Gamma Delta staged a stir ring last half rally to defeat Kap pa Sigma 28 to 22 for the class A intramural basketball champion ship last night. The Kappa Sigs, who . were the pregame favorites, started strong by running up a 7-1 lead by the end of the first quarter, only to have the Fhl Gams come back to narrow the Kappa Sig margin to 15-11 by half time. It was Bernie Scherer who again started a successful Fiji rally at the start of the second half. However, the Kappa Sigs, with Wild Bill Ollihan and Chin chy Herndon fighting hard both offensively and defensively, matched the Phi Gam attack bas ket for basket. It was then that the Kappa Sigs tired under the constant fast breaking offense of the Phi (Jams who managed to shake Stu Wiley and Guard Reddy loose for setups. Mist Heartbreaking Setups. Baum and Spahn also contrib uted shots from the foul circle to help the winners' cause. The clos ing moments of the game saw the Phi Gams stalling and the Kappa Sigs missing some heartbreaking setups. Both teams were tired un der the constant strain of fast breaks from one end of the floor to the other. Bernie Scherer, Fiji guard, was again the outstanding player on the floor. Besides contributing 6 points to the winners' caust Scherer did yeoman work under both baskets and was constantly breaking up Kappa Sig passes Stu Wiley scored 8 points to gar ner high score honors for the eve ning, ably assisted by the rest of the Phi Gam lineup. Wild Bill Stands Out Outstanding in the Kappa Sig linup were Wild Bill Callihan, who scored 6 points, and Forward Moore and Guard Chlnchy Hern don, whose defensive work under the Kappa Sig basket thwarted many Phi Gam scoring attempts.

The two pros are engaged in a barnstorming tour of the country while carrying on their battle for honors as the professional tennis champion of the world. If plans which the tennis moguls of the pro ranks have formulated mature, the winner of this year's series of matches will engage Don ald Budge, the carrot-topped Cali fornian who is supreme in the simon-pure ranks today, in a se ries of matches when the year turns. While Budge still declines to give any opinion as to whether he will desert the amateur ranks.

Outdoor Season Scheduled To Open at Texas On April 2. Old J. Pluvius opened all the valves Monday night and Tuesday and let down a shower that Will keep the Husker track men in doors for the rest of this week, and possibly some of next. The weatherman has been very unkind to Schulte's proteges this year, giving them a day or two outside and then moving them indoors again. Only two and a half weeks re main before the opening of the outdoor season. The first competi tion for the Huskers will be in the Texas Relays, at Austin, Texas on April 2. The men who won first places in the Big Six indoor meet and possibly a few others, will make the trip to Texas. Discus, Javelin Need Work. Hard work will be necessary as soon as the squad moves outdoors The two events which need most work, the discus and javelin, can not be practiced very well within the limited space of the indoor track. The same men who will be entered in the shot will also work the discus. Bob Mills, Bill Tfieff. and Charley Brock are th meft who will see service in these two events. Brock has also been v irk ing on the hurdles. The rain ruined Schulle's plans of working on the shot and tfc.scus on the outdoor track today. Work on the discus must be done with the canvas set up earlier in the season for the use of the foot ball men. Schulte Broadcasts. Kldon Frank and Elmer Dohr mann are the only javelin men on the Husker squad. Frank and Dohrmann placed third and fourth respectively in the conference last year, and may better those per formances this year. They can do little work until the outdoor tick dries up. Coach Schulte Is scheduled to appear on John Bentley s sport program over KFAB tonight. If the first program meets with fa vorahle response, it will be Tnade a weekly feature, appearing every Wednesday night thru the track season. Bentley and Schulte will discuss the shot put tonight, and take up one or two neuts on each succeeding broadcast. Bentley has already received praise for the idea from several sources, who believe that the pro gram will be of Immense benefit to the high school athletes of the state. A large group of freshman have turned out for track in response to the call last week thru the mili tary department. Schulte says that four or five men have re ported from each company, and expects more men in the near fu ture. " 3 Anton Krejci seems to be the hard luck man of the Husker team. He pulled a leg muscle while running the 440 in the Kansas State meet, and was kept out of action until Monday afternoon. And then Monday, he leaned in too far on a turn and bumped his shoulder against one of the posts, and chipped a shoulder bone, and will be laved up for some time, j This is the first time that an ac- j cident o fthis kind ever happened: on the Husker track. National Wrestling Meet Ends Competition March 26. After a week of comparativ inactivity, the Nebraska matmet, are back to work, and eager for action. Little practicing was done during the state high school bas ketball tournament. Only three more days of prac tice remain before the dual meet with Cornell college of Mount Ver non, la., next Saturday night. The Huskers seem to be In top condi tion for this meet. Paul Fidler, 175, is in Dallas, Tex., this week with the stock judging team, but has promised Coach Adam that he will work out every day that he is gone. Fidler will be hack in time for the meet Saturday. All the other varsity men are working out regularly. Jaunt to Pennsylvania. Some changes in the lineup will probably be made for the Cornell meet, especially in the lower weight divisions. Jim Knight, 135, and Bill Luke, 145, arc about ready to move down one notch apiece and will likely wrestle in the 126 and 135 pound divisions respectively Saturday night. Only a week and a half remain before the national meet, which is slated for Pennsylvania on March 25 and 26. Coach Adam is not sure yet whether or not h will take a full team to this meet, nor juFt what men will go. Victors Cop Doubles. One Singles Match; Tassie Cops His Tilt. OFFICERS PLAN ANNUAL R.O.T.C.
