Wednesday, February 21, 1940 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN 7 mm By June Bierbower. Arch Ward in the Chicago Trib une tells this one about Lloyd the Hoss Cardwcll: Cardwcll speaking: "In one of our (Detroit's) games with the Chicago Bears I happened to give Joe Stydahar a hefty poke in the mouth and was amazed to see teeth flying all over the gridiron." "You heel," Joe hissed after he had tackled me, "you'll have to buy me two new plates." "Boy, was I happy when I learned those were store teeth," Cardy ended. Saturday night's A.A.U. Indoor track and field championships at Madison Square Garden will use the yardage, not the metric sys tem Louis de Benedetto, presi dent of the National A.A.U., is only secretary of the Southern Associa tion. . .however, these A.A.U. sec retaries, If they're anything like Dan Ferris, national secretary, are the boys who really get the work done in that organization. .. Al Blozis, the 6 foot, 7 inch George town sophomore who now holds the world's indoor shot put record of 53-84, is the athlete who broke Elwyn Dees interscholastic shot mark two years ago... Blozis Is a football ace, too, and Georgetown is acclaiming him as their greatest athlete ever. . . Blozis, who won the junior A.A.U. shot title here last summer, loked almost slender for a shot putter, but press reports say he weighs around 250. "Jarrin' Jawn" Kimbrough, the all-American line-buster from Texas A. & M was just about a dead number scholastically at se mester time. Mr. Kimbrough, us ually a good student, had let his studying go during bowl training time, as had some of the other Ag gie players. Then, there was a girl in El Faso, and a chance at some very lucrative pro offers. The word was out that maybe Johnny would forego his last year in college and hard studies for married life and the pro game. His chemistry teach er posted a failure for Kimbrough, but said failure was not final until it officially came from the regis trar's office. The flunk would have made Kimbrough ineligible, but somewhere between the teachers' report and the registrar's postings, the bigwigs fixed things up, so he's still in school. Tulane has lost all-American tackle Harley McCullom thru In eligibility. . .the 'dissension boys around Colorado U., of whom we have heard rumors for some time, have finally broken into the open ...Bunny Oakes may be on his way out at Boulder. . . Ernie White, who won a minor letter In football here In 1936, and who played some basketball this winter, got four points as Army beat Dartmouth Saturday night... he's a guard In the starting lineup... and re mem ber? White tossed a touchdown pass to Marv Plock against Mizzou here in '36, the last time the Husk ers have beaten the Tigers here... he stayed out of football at the Point last fall, tho. The other day we mentioned the football tabloid service which the Nebraska Alumnus office puts out to members of the Alumni Asso elation, but the article was chopped off before it ended. What we meant to say con cerned George Brother, a Husker grad, who formerly live in Massa chusctts, . but who resides in Urbana, Illinois, now. A letteer from Brother to the Alum secretary's office, which was published in February Alumnus, was one of many which have been received in appreciation of the tabs which are sent out after ev ery game. Nebraska, to Brother's knowl edge, is the only school which puts out to its grads such good cov erage on their football games, at which his-K-nstcrn neighbors used to marvel. He added that the tab loids had so familiarize! him with the Huskcrs that when he drove to Bloomington from Ur bana last fall to see the Indiana Nebraska game, he felt as though he knew every man on the Husker squad. Phi Delts, DU's beaten for first time Sig Alphs, Farm House win; ATO's conquer Zeta Beta Tau 31-16 Farm House climbed into a three way tie for first place with Delta Upsilon and Thi Delta Thcta in League 3 in "A" basketball last night as Fred Preston led them to a 30-17 win over the previously un defeated Thi Dclts. Fred Metheny looked best for the losers. The DU's, who had been tied with the Phi Delts for first, lost their first game of the year as the Sig Alphs whipped them 22-16. Vike Francis with 10 points showed the way for the winners, while Eldon Neurnberger of the DU's was high point man of the game with 11 points. Tie for Lead. Results of tonight's games left Farm House, the DU'S and the Phi Delts with three wins and one loss apiece, and the Sig Alphs with two victories and two defeats. In another league 3 game, the Pi KA's, led by Frei with 9 points and Brookley with 8, beat the Delta Sigs 21-8, to put the latter team in undisputed possession of last place. Zeta Beta Tau dropped from a three way tie for first in league 2 as they bowed to the ATO's, Roy Petsch got 12 points for the win ners, and Hub Monsky 8 for ZBT. Meanwhile, the Delts, who were tied with the ATO's and ZBT's for first before last night, stayed along with the ATO's, as they plowed over Beta Sigma Psi, 57-6, Jones led the scoring with 14 points. Phi Sigs Win. Phi Sigma Kappa, with Buch holz playing the leading role, NU gym team for years first Gymnastics coach Charley Mil ler and eight Husker gymnasts leave this noon for Minneapolis to engage in a series of four meets Bob Ramey gets airways position Bob Ramey, Husker football center, who was graduated at midyear, has taken a job with Transcontinental and Western Air ways. Ramey will go to Kansas City for a two-weeks schooling, and will then be located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He earned three major letters for the Huskers, playing under D. X. Bible in 1936, and in Biff Jones' first year in 1937. He stayed out of competition in '38, but finished up last fall. whipped Acacia in the same league, 13-12. The AGR's continued to lead league 1 as they turned back the Kappa Sigs. 19-9. Schneider got 7 points for the farmers. In the other league 1 game, the Phi Psi's whipped the Chi Phi's, and the Alpha Sigma Phi-Gamma Sigma Alpha Mu game was post poned.

The Huskers will enter the Northwest championships at Min neapolis Thursday night, after holding a meet with Illinois that afternoon. Friday they go to Northfield to face Carleton, and Saturday they go against Min nesota.

K-State cinder squad faces Huskers here Friday night Nebraska's track team faces its second dual meet of the year as Ward Haylett's Kansas State cin der men come here Friday night. The powerful Husker sophomore crew is favored to whip the Man hattan team, even tho Edsel Wib bels, the Huskers' best shot put ter, will probably not see any more action until the conference cham pionships two weeks from Satur day. Wibbells had been doing around 48 and 49 feet in the shot, but could get only 46-6 at the Illinois relays Saturday, as he reinjured a bad wrist. Weir will probably choose to rest the Wolbach weight star, keeping him out of the K-State and Oklahoma meets. Hackney coming. Elmer Hackney, who is at pres ent putting with his right hand, has been doing close to 48 feet, but the expected dual between him and Wibbels will not materialize. Gene Littler, who tied the Amer ican indoor record in the 300 yard event at Urbana, has three years of competition left, according to Coach Ed Weir, even tho he com peted one year at Compton jun ior college. One year of junior col lege competition does not count against an athlete in the Big Six, altho two years of jaysee track would have counted as one year of university competition and would have given Littler only two years here. Brooks. . .set. Harold Brooks, the Husker sophomore mile star, has his eyes on the Husker indoor varsity rec ord of 1:59.7 in the 880, as he has broken it in practice several times. He had to drop out of the 880 against KU when he was taken ill. Harold Hunt, who got 13 to 6 at Illinois in the pole vault, will have another chance to better Sherm Cosgrove's indoor mark of 13-4 U. He could not clear 13-5 against KU, but bettered that at Urban, where his effort was also better than the Husker outdoor record of 13-4 27-64 held by Frank Wirsig. There will be no Knothole sec tion, since the bleachers which hold 600, will undoubtedly be inade quate to hold the crowd. Fullbrook writes article Dr. Earl S. Fullbrook of the de partment of business organization and management has an article on "The Functional Concept in Mar keting" published in a recent num ber of the Journal of Marketing." Swim team faces final three duals Tankmen prepare for meets with KU, Sooners, K-State Coach Pete Hagclin's swim team, having won their first meet of the season as they whipped Grinncll Saturday night, are fac ing their last three duals of the season.

Monday they close their regular season as they take on Oklahoma at Nor man, before coming back to Lin coln to prepare for the Big Six meet March 1 and 2 at Ames. The Huskers are underdogs against K-State, but are favored over Kan sas, while the Sooners are an un known quantity.

Ralph Worden has tallied 25, winning first in every diving match this year. LeRoy Foster has 24 points and Jim Ager 15.
