Crucial Stage This Week

PROPOSAL to change the national football rules code in
one specific part it the cry of Oklahoma coach, Dewey "Snorter"
Luster... Luster wants the optional goal rule written into the
books but the winter session of the national rules committee did
not pass it... By the optional goal rule is meant the team scored
upon gets the option of changing goals or of deciding whether
it will kick or receive. . .The Sooner mentor reports that while the
majority of coaches are In favor of it, it silll did not pass.
IN FACT the Oklahoman Is so much in favor of the plan that
he has been using it in all of his practice games during the spring
drill sessions, "just in case". . .In favor of the plan is that it will
equalize the elements, particularly wind. . .Consider one team getting
in possession of the ball with a strong wind blowing with them and
they have plenty of advantage for the period... By the first of the
next period, when the opposing team gets the chance at Uie wind.
it (the wind) may have gone down considerably.
BY THIS PLAN then after one team swept down the field to a
touchdown with the aid of the wind for a passing attack, the other
team could get the advantage if they so chose or else they could
state whether they wanted to kick or receive. . .From these stand
points, the plan seems very logical but if it is placed on the books
there will be a much greater amount of aspirin consumed in the
press box when the scribes try to think up some new ways to
explain who was going in what direction when something happened.
JOE LOUIS has raised the name of the fistic industry to a
height that has never been scaled before... It seems like the old
name was synonymous with poor sports, etc., but since the Brown
Bomber has been riding on the throne, the reputation has been
wiped clear... When he joined the army he showed his heart was In
the right place. . .When he fought two fights, placing his title
against... nothing but for the army and navy relief funds, he
n-AUi hi. hrt wa In the rioht olacV. . .After disposing of Abe
Simon on Friday night, he sent via the radio, his greetings to the
boys under General McArthur in Australia and wished them
-Godspeed"... You can't ask more of a man than Louis has shown.
KANSAS STATE and Oklahoma got the jump on their Big Six
mates when thev stared an outdoor dual track meet on Friday..
Following Uie meet which the Sooners won the two teams headed
for the Texas U. relays in Austin.. .The Oklahoma sprinters were the
reason for the 77-57 decision as they copped eight of the nine races
...Orv Mathews won the 100 and 220, Bill Lyda took the 440 and 880
and Dick Smethers broke the tape in the mile and two-mile eventa
...This will mean that the Huskers had better sit up and take notice,
THE COLD weather plus a little rain and gloom has been
enough to keep the Husker grid aggregation indoors a goodly part
tf the time of the spring drills. . .Yesterday, a big scrimmage ses
sion was planned but did not materialize due to the existing
position of the mercury In the thermometers. . .One of these days
there will be a warm atmosphere and then Coach Glenn Presnell
will settle a lot of doubts that have been cropping up in his mind.
As the intra mural battle for the Jack Best
trophy goes into the home stretched, fraterni
ties are eyeing anxiously the outcome of the
handball and bowling race and are preparing
for the two remaining sports, track and baseball.
Thursday night the Zeta Beta Tau table
tennis won their second straight intramural
ping pong championship as they defeated the
l)U's 4 to 1. The ZBT s victims in the semi
finals, the Betas, took extra points for third
place by trouncing the Kappa Sigs, eliminated
by the DU's in the consolations.
Ankeny Wins.
Harry Ankeny saved the DU's from a com
plete trouncing as he defeated the ZBT's ace
player, Buddy Goldstein. The winning play
ers were Theo Cohen, Stu Muskin, Norman
Kips and Morris Kirshenbaum.
The handball championship is still in the air
with the winner of the Phi Delt-DU game
going into the finals against the ZBT 'a. Hand
ball semifinal results slowed up the schedule
with ties in both games causing playoffs with
the two singles players combining in the de
ciding doubles game.
Yesterday afternoon, Irv Galvin and Stan
Feltman of the ZBT team defeated John D.
Wertz and Kurt Ralston of the Sigma Nus in
the tie-breaking game to put the Zetas in the
in the finals. Fred Meir and Harry Ankeny of
the DU's will play Phi Delta George Abel and
Jack K. Lee to decide the other finalist.
Bowling Close.
With several leagues tied up causing play-offs,
the bowling championship will probably
not be determined until late next week or early
the following week according to the intra
mural office.
Also making this week a busy one as far as
athletics is concerned, is the I-M track meet
which will be held Wednesday and Thursday
night. The defending champions are the
ATO's which plan to enter another strong team
to defend its crown.
Harold Hunt
Breaks Texas
Vault Record
Harold Hunt vaulted over the
14 foot mark yesterday in the
Texas relays at Austin to set a
new record. This was the 15th
annual meeting of the Texas re
lays.
National collegiate champion,
Hunt soared to the 14 feet inch
mark to beat the record of Beefus
Bryan, Texas, of 13 feet 10
inches, scored three years ago.
Large Crowds
Are Expected
At Oklahoma
NORMAN, Okla. Football
crowds at Oklahoma's 1942 home
contests will be big as ever if
some method can be figured out
to transport fans to the games,
believes Lawrence "Jap" Haskell,
Sooner athletic director.
The war is a tremendously se
rious proposition but President
Roosevelt's recent endorsement of
professional baseball and the plea
for more, instead of less, porticipa
tion in contact sports by heads of
various branches of the nation s
army, navy and air corps proves
that there is still a place for
sports even in time of war, Hask
ell holds.
Haskell believes the proximity
to Norman of several big war in
dustry plants is bound to help
football attendance this fall.
