VD S 1 U i Finis (o spring drill Nebraska's championship Husk er team will end their spring drills tomorrow. The Husker hid for gridiron fame In 1941 will write a finis to early preparations with a full game scrimmage. From this corner, the fracas to morrow afternoon should be one of the big events in the spring sports parade for we expect to see the major's two first stringa pitted against each other. What happens when these two elevens line up against each other should be a good indication of what is to come this fall when Jones throws the two powerful elevens against Nebraska gridiron foes. Of promising newcomers Then too, we are looking for ward anxiously to seeing what promising sophomores such as Debus, Wilkins, Salisbury, Long, et all, can do when thrown into grade A competition. It will be a final exam for the young sters. We are waiting, too, to see what happens when Vike Francis, crack fullback, runs the play calling for an off-tackle plunge over Clarence "Chint" Herndon who holds down that spot on the opposite first eleven. These two boys, as we see it now, are a couple of Scarlet and Cream bids for All-American hon ors. Throw two grade A competi tors up against each other and well, we'll be watching for that play tomorrow. Weather plays too From the looks of things at the time of this writing, old man weather is going to play a part in the game, too. If it Is dry enough for the scrimmage, the turf in the stadium is still going to be soggy and muddy. A team that can put across their wares on a foundation like that should warrant any soul shooting his stack of chips on them to win the conference crown this coming season. We think the two Husker elevens can do the job but proof for that contention will come in the game session. Offense and defense Notes in our little book keep telling us that Biff has consist ently stressed offense during scrimmage sessions this spring. It is our guess that he is building his teams around the idea that a good offense builds a good defense. But we can tell more about that after the scrimmage. Should the Rain God smile upon us tomorrow, a top tussle is in the offing. We'll be there, waiting and hoping to see next fall's two top elevens show their mettle.

With only one sport, Softball, yet to be played in the fraternity Intramural race for the Jack Best trophy, Delta Upsilon leads their nearest rival, Alpha Tau Omega, by 26 slim points. DU's garnered 660 points to the ATO's 634 in touch football, golf, tennis, volley ball, water polo, class "A" and "B" basketball, handball, ping pong, bowling and track competition according to unofficial fig ures from the university intramural office. Softball prospects. Speculation among fraternity athletes as to prospects for sol f ball teams is extra vigorous as the trophy race will probably be decided by that sport Athletic managers of both ATO and DU predict that their frats will have a top-flight tean for diamond play but frat sport man agers are a tribe as confident of success as a political campaign man ager. Alpha Gamma Rho won softball competition last year as the DIPS snared second and Kappa Sigma took third. Each of these teams lost nearly half of their stars of last year but should be strong contenders this season. Anybody's race. If either the DU's, Alpha Tau's or possibly the third place Beta Theta TVs win softball the intramural race is theirs. A win by a frat that now has a small total score might maintain the status quo in the top rankings. Winner of softball will get 150 points. Second place gains 130; third, 115; and fourth, 100. Fifty points are given to each group en tering a team and ten points for each game won. A team that won every game in a six team league would have as many points as the fourth place winner. Softball league schedules will be announced to morrow, according to Roger Homey, intramural head. Snnday Jnnrnal and Star. Johnny Fltzglbbon of Tobias In catching togs and Pitcher Angelo Osslno, Omaha, plan their strategy as Johnny Woita, left, waits his chance at the plate during Saturday's drills. Woita will divide catching duties with Fitzgibbon while Ossino is scheduled to be the season's starting pitcher in Friday's game with the University of Colorado. Husker nine faces Big Seven champs Friday With their initial fracus sched uled for Friday with the Univer sity of Colorado, the Husker base ball nine was further handicapped in their practice session yesterday by old man rain. The opening of their cam paign with the Big Seven champions dur ing the last part of the week will do much in the way of predic t i o n towards the success of the NU dia mond nine this season. Speak of chances for a r fx ' i 11- J :-4 v - 1 hind the plate. Both are sopho mores. The infienld will probably in clude Bob Sauer on first base; El bert Phelps at second; letterman Bernie Le Master as shortstop; and Bob Searle on the hot spot, third base. Knight believes he has a "find" in outfielder Joe Ryan, a sopho more. Two veterans, Oscar Teght meier and Warren Gableman will complete the fly chasing three some. Colorado, also handicapped by cold weather, opened its season last week in a two game series win against the Colorado Miners. I-M standings These standings include all sports up to softball. 1.

I-M office asks barb ball entries The intramural office is now ac cepting entries for participation in barb soft ball. Roily Horney an nounced that any group may or ganize and send in its application, together with a Jl deposit, which is returnable upon completion of theh schedule. All barb organized houses are urged to get their entries in as soon as possible, so that the In tramural department can draft and mail the schedules over the spring vacation. Because many barb men who would like to play soft ball are iso lated from other barbs, or barb groups, the department and the barb office in the Student Union will accept applications by indi viduals or small groups, and will furnish contacts between these barbs, so that all interested msy participate.
