frt. said team will be announced
this week, so, to you who love to
gripe about the injustices done by
all star selectors and selections,
this is fair warning.
Thprs won't be anv iron man
stunts pulled in this spring's high
nrViool track and baseball meets,
for boys participating in one aren't
eligible to enter in the other, so
the boys who like both sports will
have to maxe tneir cnoice.
According to other Informa
tion from Wilbur Knlaht. Corn-
husker baseball coach who Is di
recting the baseball tournament,
all teams will be entered In the
same classification, there being
no A. B. C or D divisions.
RhnnlH more than 16 teams en
ter, the tournament will begin
n Thursday. Mav 11. and run
three days, instead of being played
only on Friday ana aaiuruay hi
th ovent 16 or fewer enter. The
games will go seven Innings, un
less ties necessitate extra innings,
and will all be played, as far as
nnssihle. on the university dia

used if they're needed.

27 to 25 in the finals. , .yes,
we're another of those picking
Creiahton PreD to win . . . but the
Jackson high team which beat
Lincoln 43 to 25 Friday night
didn't look bad at all... If Prep
wins the basketball tournament,
It will a ve them the first lap on
the two chamiponsnips they
have a good shot at this season
. . .they'll be one of the favorites
In the baseball tournament, too,
with a lineup Including a num
ber of stars from the Omaha
McDevitt junior legion team.
One of the best high school
teams in Dixieland is that of
Durham, N. C... they've won 37
ramcs in a row. and beat the Duke

Sutherland
resigns Pitt
coaching job
School's new purifying
policy believed to have
caused 'Jock's' action
TV Tnhn 'Rflin ".TonU' Suther
land hparl ' frwit.hn.il eoarh at the
University of Pittsburgh sent hia
resignation, effective immediately,
to Chancellor John G. Bowman.
Bowman accepted with an expres
sion of deep regret at losing this
powerful football mentor.
Reasons for the resignation
were not stated, though it is be
lievpd that the turbulent activities
of the university in trying to pur
ify atnietics since mm nave aone
much to cause this shake up. Four
of the under coaches had already
resigned earner in tne year.
The question facing the univer
sity is who will fill "Jock's"
shoes? It has always been the
custom to pick tne grid neaas
from among graduates of the
staff. At present, with the recent
resignations, material from this
sector doesn't appear promising.
Prospects for the position lie
among Charley Bowser, former
first assistant to Sutherland; Tom
my Davies, head coach of Scran
tnn Rill Kern of Carneeie Tech
and Andy Gustafson, backfield
coach at uartmoutn.
Grad takes position
Walter Stolle of Meadow Grove,
who received his bachelor of sci
ence degree in chemical engineer
ing last spring, has accepted a
position with Eastman Kodak
Company.
