Tuesday, September 30, 194 11 6 DAILY NEBRASKAN Fraternities Touch Off Fuse On Fall Intramural Activities By Albert Reddish. What topic are the members of the fraternities discussing when they get together? Is it the war? Is it the date la3t night? Is it any one of the name bands that have played in Lincoln recently? It could be any one of these topics, but it isn't. Then what is the subject of those arguments? It is which fra ternity will cop the Jack Best trophy for supremacy in the intra mural sports world. Yes, they're at it again. Each fraternity claims that it is to be the winner of the cup this year. Kach member claims that his group is the best in all sports. Kach claims that no other fra ternity has a chance. The fight to determine which Greek organization is superior in the sports world is now officially on. It has been fought out in bull sessions each day and each night since students first started con verging at Lincoln for school. Begins this week. The sanctioned start is this week. First rounds of tennis, golf and touch football are scheduled to be completed by Friday eve ning. Some groups will have con crete facta to back their claims.

Darlings: We girls of the Daily staff, hav ing a great affection for you love ly dears who head such a cute publication, realize the embarrass ment you would suffer if the husky members of our staff challenged you for the traditional "hatchet" offered to the winner of the Daily Nebraskan, Cornhusker football game. We understand. Miss Rus sel, and you, too, Miss Calhoun, that women cannot exhibit them selves in as rough or as exciting a game as football. And altho we have tried to con vince our handsome, strong, red blooded male co-workers that the Cornhusker staff could not possi bly accept a challenge, they in sisted that tradition is tradition, and the game must go on. Even our editor, Mary Kerrigan's pleas were to no avail. So you see, de spite our efforts to halt the mas sacre, you must feel the whip of the Nebraskan staff. Although we know that conso lation means little at this time when you are so near death qr permanent physical disability, we do want you to know that we ex acted a promise of mercy from our powerful men. They even promised that they would let us girls play after the score reached, Daily 76 Cornhusker 0. If any of you can still stand up then, we will finish the game in a nice, quiet discussion about lemons, of which you are so fond. The men on our staff claim that you have several fellows in minor positions on your staff. Just be tween us, Miss Russel, and you, too, Miss Calhoun, you had better leave them out of the game since they will be the target of much beating by our manly squad. And Miss Russel, and you, too, Miss Calhoun, if worse comes to worse, you can try what previous editors yea, even male editors tried. If you run out of women to send in the game, we will per. mit you to participate in some subsidization of players. But pleas none of Biff's boys; and for a change, equip at least half of them with identification cards. The boys say they will play you Friday on the athletic grounds west of the coliseum where the white corpuscles of your blood will not be too conspicuous. And dears, you, too, Miss Cal houn, if you decide that your necks are worth more than your honor and you decide to stick to gin rummy in your office, we girls won't hold it against you. You can always play chess with us. Good luck and goodbye, Women of the Daily Staff. average. Last year the Cornhus ker swimmers were tied for first in the Big Six meet, but were dis qualified in the last race. This placed them third. They had gone thru the dual seaion undefeated.
