DAILY NEBRASKAN

j V J By Bob Miller 1
Weather troubles have hit the Huskers pretty hard this spring. . .
The football team has had to stay indoors about half the time since
the spring drills began the first of the month. . . The baseball team
heard Coach Lewandowski'a call to action earlier this month and as
yet they have not had a day in the out of doors. . . The tennis team
along with the golf squad has been confined to the inside of the coli
seum due to dictates of the wetherman. . . Track stars have not had a
chance to get to work on the stadium oval more than a couple of
nights since indoor season ended. . . Put these all together and you
have all of the spring sports listed and not one has the jump on the
weather situation.
CONSIDER the contrast down at Oklahoma where the spring
drills in football have been run off starting about the middle of
February. . . In fact, they had swell weather for the entire time
and got in plenty of scrimmage time. . . So far the Huskers have
had but two scrimmage sessions, one of which was marred by cold
blasts out of the north. . . As for the Sooners, the baseball team
has already made a five game invasion of the Texas country while
the tennis squad has been working outside for three weeks. . . And
they say that Nebraska is in the temperate climate.
HARRY Ankcny, Husker tennis star, dropped in on us yester
day to talk over the tennis and golf situation at Nebraska. . . It
seems that not enough matches in the two sports have been scheduled
to allow participants in the sports a chance to earn a letter. . . In
our opinion, if Nebraska is going to try and maintain any semylance
of a team in these sports they should go the entire way and let the
paiticipants have a chance to earn their letters.
ANOTHER of our humble opinions is that the athletic heads
at our fair institution should widen the schedules to permit letters
to be offered. . . It's either do that or else abolish the two all to
gether and that would be defeating the purpose of the entire pro
gram. . . As It stands, by giving tennis and golf enthusiasts noth
ing more than a three meet schedule to shoot at, and no chance of
winning a letter, there will only be a half-hearted effort on their
part. . . Other schools maintain their tennis and golf teams on
the same pre-war level, why can't we?
INTRAMURALS are going at a fast clip. . . The finals in table
tennis have been played with the ZBT's winning. . . Harry Ankeny
proved to be the number one man in the leagues. . . Playing number
one for Delta Upsilon, he beat Buddy Goldstein of the winning team
but this was the only match that the DU's won. . . The handball
finals will occurr tonight, the bowling finals will be run off some
time this week and then Wednesday evening will be the prelimi
naries of the track meet . . Finals will be run off Thursday with the
ATO's as the defending champion. . . Softball is on the docket for
play in the next couple of weeks and when that is over a new frat
ernity will be crowded with the Jack Best trophy. . . The Phi Gams,
Betas and Farm House aggregations are leading the field at this
writing but anything can happen.
HAROLD Hunt brought home another record from the Texas
relays last week. . . He topped the pole vault field to win the
event with a try of 14-feet g inches to break a two year old record.
He got back to Lincoln yesterday. . . Eugene "Red" Littler is in bed
with the flu bug as company. . . His constitution evidently objects
to the speed in which the Redhead gets around. Ed Milder of the
ZBT house has the best series in I-M bowling. . . He rolled 255 and
209 in the first match of the year but wound up with a 134 and 100
in his last. . . The Phi Gams had a team average for two lines in
the final match of 179.
