All our colleagues, we Bee, are
writing swan songs. Oh, yes,
watch for ours next Tuesday, be
fore you forget. To get back to
our colleagues, though, listen to
these words of wisdom uttered by
our old pal Frank Spence down
at Oklahoma who has done some
fine writing for the Oklahoma
Daily. Spence says, in his last col
umn of the year:
"I fell from the predictor's limb
more than once during my reign,
but I will still wager that Okla
homa won't be the carpet for any
Big Six team next season. And
that includes the Nebraska Corn
husker football team."
Now, Frank, just who said the
Soonera would be playing door
mat? Still clipping the exchanges.
Here's a Why Rub It In Item
gleaned from Jim Bell's Rock
Chalk Talk in the Daily Kansan:
"F. D. R.'s offer of cabinet posts
to prominent Republicans is Just
about the same thing as the Ne
braska football coach asking KU
players if they wouldn't like to
play on the Husker team in a
Kansas-Nebraska game and be on
the winning side for a change."
Four gals' baseball
games slated today ;
Intra-mural baseball games to
a played today at 5 o'clock are:
Chi Omega 1 vs. Gamma Phi Bota,
Kappa Kappa Gamma 2 vs. Wil
son Hall, Kappa Delta vs. Alpha
Chi Omega and Independents vs.
Alpha Phi.
Tennis round to end
First round of the girls' intra
mural tennis tournament, both
pingles and doubles, must be fin
ished by Sunday evening.

The dual track meet to be held
Saturday between the Oklahoma
Aggies, winner of the Missouri
Valley conference, and the Huskers
who won their second consecutive
outdoor Big Six title, is to be
broadcast over KFAB, it was an
nounced by head track Coach Ed
Weir.
The entire meet is not going to
be aired, but several of the out
standing performances will be.
Thruout the afternoon at various
intervals resumes of the events
will be announced. This is the first
time a dual meet has been put on
the air from Memorial Stadium, al
tho several of the Big Six meets
have been.
Record is 4:22.9.
The first race Saturday is the
mile, in which there is every rea
son to believe, conditions being fa
vorable, Nebraska's miler Harold
Brooks will lower the ex
isting varsity record of 4:22.2
made in 1937 by both Freddie
Mattson and Wilson Andrews. He
will run against Forrest Efaw, the
Aggies' great distance man.
Last week, he came out with a
4:29.5 mile on the water cov
ered track, returning later to win
the 2-mile in a slower time. In ad
dition, Oklahoma has a great run-
j ner in Hershel Burruss, who plac
i ed in three events at the Missouri
I Valley meet .winning the quarter
j mile, taking second in the half-
nine aim loiuui in me uroau jump.
Efaw, it will he remembered,
took part in the Junior AAU
championships held here in Lin
coln last July 3rd. and won the
3,000 meters steeplechase in the
excellent time of 9:42.2.

returns for
Buff series
Star second baser
back after injury;
Truscott still out
Nebraska's baseballers will close
the 1940 season with a two game
series with Colora U. on Friday
and Saturday. The Buffalos are
Big Seven champions, the Rocky
Mountain league, and have a con
ference record of no defeats in
eight starts.
It would certainly be a feather
in the cap of the Huskers if they
were to finish off the season with
a victory or two against the Buffs.
Games with the freshmen were
the order of work for the Huskers
for the first three days of this
week, but a light practice to top
off the workouts will be sufficient
for today.
Coach Wilbur Knight has named
Sid Held and Bob Searle as the
two pitchers to see starting serv
ice againt Colorado. The Buffalos
will rely on Ray Hartmann, John
Pudlik, and Ed Mele.
Verne Geissinger. Five satirical
skits were given on Players' pro
ductions of the season: "McBeth,"
"Gentle People," "What a Life,"
"Our Town." and "Dodsworth."
Another slut incorporated a satire
of all five. Curtain acts were by
Louis Wilkins, Betty Lou Wentz,
and Rosemary Owens. Also given
was a modern version of "Romeo
and Juliet."
