A year ago last fall, a certain
Kansas high school athlete en
rolled at Nebraska. At that time
he went unmentioned in the list of
big names in sports entering our
university.
This lad came here with the ex
pressed purpose of avoiding any big
play concerning his athletic prow
ess. Upon graduating from his
pr. p school, this athlete sought a
school that was not offering him
every advantage for his enrolling
in that particular institution.
Many middlewestern colleges of

But he didn't.
He chose Ne

Alpha Tau Omega beat Delta
Tau Delta 4-3 in a game with an
exciting finish. Going into the last
half of the last inning the ATO's
were leading the Delts by their
one point margin. With two outs
the Delts loaded the bases, but
Tau pitcher, Richard Delfs. came
thru to end the game by striking
out the next man up. Winning bat
tery was Delfs and Max Meyer.
Kappa Sigma loses.
After pitching top ball for four
innings, Robert Sinkey, Kappa
Sigma pitcher, allowed a Sigma
Phi Epsiion player to score the
winning run from first by three
walks. The Sig Eps won 4-3 with
Edward Zacek pitching and Dick
Seagren catching.
Zeta Beta Tau upset dope sheets
as they shellacked Sigma Alpha
Epsiion 16 to 2. Winning battery
was the Kirshenbaum brothers,
Joe and Morris.

Betas won 5 to 1 over Sigma Nu.
Sigma Alpha Mu triumphed 8-5

Lewis.
Bob Miller pitched to Ivan Cram
as Phi Gamma Delta set down
Sigma Chi 16-4. Phi Delta Theta
made ten runs to the two of Theta
Xi under the winning battery of
Newman Buckley and Charles
Harris.
Last season's champions, Alpha

as you have probably guessea, is
Bob McNutt, the Colby, Kas.,

Scout Club last fall to preserve
another year of athletic eligibility.
Bob now shines as a great tackle
prospect for the 1941-43 football
McNutt is taken for granted
now as a star for the future in
Husker grid annals. His 220 pounds

with his speed and agility for 8

rosy.
And now another McNutt is go
ing to be graduated from Colby
come May. His name is Lynn,
Bob's 185 pound brother.
The younger McNutt is an all
state Kansas fullback, an all
around track star, an all-conference
basketball nominee, a good
baseballer, and president of the
Colby National Honor Soicety.
But other schools have also
found out about Lynn. Northwest
ern. Dartmouth, Texas besides the
Kansas universities have offered
Lynn athletic scholarships.
However, Bob's brother has not
accepted any "foreign" bid as yet.
Chances are Nebraska would like
to see Lynn enroll here just as
much as Bob would. But that re
mains to be seen.
McNutt is a typical out-of-state
athlete who was not "coaxed" to
