Q WILLIAM Kovanda, 23, died Wednesday in a Denver hospital . . .
"Willie" as he was known in athletic circles was regarded highly by
everyone with whom he came in in contact ... He was a standout
on the Husker basketball court playing his last year in 1939 ... He
was president of his senior class that year also . . . Kovanda was in
the air corps at the time he became ill with a brain affliction . . .
His mark in the world will be hard to erase.
Q OMAHA't Aktarben Knights have accomplished what the ex
perts of the middle we t knew they couldn't . . . After coming out
in the number three spot of four teams in the northern division of
the American hockey association, the Knights led by Phil Bescler
warmed to their playoff task and in five straight games they set
down the top two teams In their division to be eligible for the final
playoffs against Kansas City, the winners In the southern division
. . . The first was 5-3 In their favor, the second was 6-5 in an over
time and the last one, played on Wednesday evening, was 3-2 in the
two overtimes . . . They really played a superior brand of hockey
throughout to best the effort of three teams all of whom had a
better wins and losses record than the Knights. . . The playoffs
were probably the last for the duration.
Q BABE "the Bambino" Ruth is critically ill in a Hollywood hospital
at this time . . . Babe was playing his role in the picture, depicting
the life of Lou Gehrig, late New York Yankee first baseman . . .
At 48, Ruth seemed to have plenty of energy but the process of
taking off 30 pounds of avordupois plus the maddening whirl of
movie life seemed to be too much for him . . . The last report stated
that he was progressing as well as can be expected.
Q GLENN Presnell, Husker ruler of the football gridiron, plans to
concentrate on the work of his boys completely Saturday afternoon
... His charges are slated to meet in a regulation battle in he sta
dium proper ... To make sure that he doesn't miss anything he is
going to perch high In one side of the stadium and watch the move
ments from that vantage point ... It may be a strain but Press is
going to withstand it to get th objective view of things . . . Lew
Lewandowski will Instruct one of the squads whilt Elmer Holm will
be in charge of the other.
Q SO far this spring the Army squad has held the upper hand in
the scrimmage proceedings . . . One of the main thing? that is giving
them their superiority is in experience . . . The Navy has a lot of
good material but lacks the necessary polish ... In the b&ckfield for
the former three of the four have had all the experience they can
get . . . Fred Metheny, Marv Athey and Dale Bradley form the trio
. . . Add frosh Wally Hopp to complete the foursome . . . For the
Blues, Bobby Cooper, Roy Long and Allen Zikmund have the exper
ience and Ki Eisenhart, another first year man, has the bulk . . . The
Army line seems stronger with Herb vonGoetz, Bob Deviney, Vic
Schleich and Marv Thompson to form the bulwark.
Q THERE is a mighty good possibility that the baseball team will
meet the Fort Riley diamond contingent next week in the opener
instead of Minnesota as originally scheduled ... At present the
baseballers seem to be an unknown quantity ... But it won't be
long till the truth is known.

day bow". Captain Jack Ellis,
tackle on the Nebraska football
team from 1935 to 1937, also con
fidently wrote at the same time
that "everybody is expecting our
first team from the U. S. any day
now, and we expect to be in Ma
nila very soon thereafter."
Letters full of hope in ultimate
victory were likewise received
from Captain Robert Carnahan,
who was commissioned at the uni
versity and went to the Phillipincs
with the Slet infantry, and from
Lieutenant Robert Fleetwood,
graduate of 1940 who is serving
in the Islands tn the 57th Infan
try division.
Last year graduate f the
Pharmacy college, Lieutenant Wal
lace Churchill, was taken off the
Philippines after being injured Dec.
9. He was a pilot of a dive bom
er. In his last letter Churchill said
that "it won't be long before we
are home". Relatives cling to the
hope that they saw a news shot of
him on a hospital boat, and are
convinced that he left the islands.
According to a Johns Hopkins
university survey, persons bom in
the spring are taller and heavier
than those who make the summer,
fall or winter trip with the stork.
An information center to which
students and citizens may turn for
information about the war has
been established on the campus of
the University of Kentucky.

should be quite a battle. At the
first of the spring session. Pres
nell split the footballers into the
Army and Navy units. From that
time on the rivalry has been in
creasing and Saturday will decide
which of the two is superior.
Ask any Blue squadman his
opinion on the matter, following
a practice session and regardless
of the fact that perhaps his team
has been beaten, he will always
answer, "Oh, the Blues are tops
by all means."
Reds Say the Same.
The statement is made by the
Reds everytime they are asked
too. That's the way things stand.
During the scrimmages that have
gone before, the Army squad held

Betas Lead over Fijis
In Race for I-M Trophy
By Gene Sherman.
Heading into the home stretch
of the current intramural season,
we find the Betas leading in the
race for the Jack Best trophy
with a total of 580 points. Just
one more than the second place
Phi Gams.
The Betas gained the leading
position by virture ot being
awarded the track meet when
the ATC-8 were disqualified be
cause they used Dick Petring, who
was declared ineligible due to past
experience in college competition.
The points in the bowling tour

caught their opponents behind
their own goal line, scored a safety
and won by the two point margin.
Mathias Volz, Bill Bockes and
Max Roper have agreed to operate
from behind the whistles to give
the game a bigger drawing card.
Presnell and his aides will not
be standing behind the teams tell
ing them what to do but rather
will be sitting on the sidelines,
letting the players run the whole
show.
Remember the game starts at
