Q COACH Ed Weir's boys will be competing In a triangular meet
Instead of a quadrangular as originally scheduled wnen tney journey
back to the historic folds of West Point on the Hudson this week
end . . , The meet which was to embrace Nebraska, West Point,
Columbia and Hanover, has been pared due to national defense to
the first three teams instead of the four ... It will be quite a trip
for the Huskers with a trip around the Athletic Academy assured
them ... At least there are a lot of people who envy their chances
. . . From the standpoint of times and distances, the Huskers
should come out on top of the three team heap.
Q WINS were sparse for the Husker cindermen at the just past
Drake Relays and everyone wonders why . . . One reason as ably
brought out by Scribe Fred Ware of the Omaha World Herald was
the existence of certain weather conditions which kept times ' and
performances very much below normal ... As Harold Hunt said,
the rain would pour down In floor proportions about every 20-30
minutes during the Saturday finals and then let up after a brief
shower . . . The atmosphere was chilly and coupled with the rain,
It provided enough pulled muscles to keep the Cramer company in
business for the next few weeks.
THIS was the reason that the Hi-.kers didn't bring home any
first place medals because uoacn ta weir was wmng no cndnmi
... In fact that was the reason that the 100 yard dash was won
In the time of 10.1 seconds which is good for a high school senior
but not much more ... In the light of this It makes the accomplish
ment of Roy Cochran running for the United States Great Lakes
naval training station appear so bright ... In the 440 yard hurdle
event Cochran covered the ground in 52.2 seconds for the fastest
quarter mile hurdle race ever run . . . He was 40 yards ahead of
the second place runner and everyone knew that his effort was
plenty fast but no one could realize that it was that fast.
Q NEBRASKA'S baseball aggregation is in the throes of a losing
streak which may place them on the bottom of the Big Six heap
when the firing is over . . . The inability to hit plus plenty of errors
were the factors deciding against the Husker diamond aces in their
opening tilts ... If Allan Artman can straighten up his class room
problems, he will decidedly strengthen the first base sector which is
a little shaky at the present . . . They mix with the Missouri squad
on home grounds, Friday and Saturday afternoons . . . Pitchers
have not yet been decided for the tilts.
Q DELTA UPSILON and Beta Theta Pi will vie in the finals of the
intramural softball tournament on Thursday evening at 6:30 in a
game that can do not more than decide second place in final l-M
standings . . . The Betas already have the big Jack Best trophy in
their power and have the spot in their trophy case waiting for it
. . . They have nothing more to do than play their matches in
tennis and golf and the softball tilt and they can claim it . . . For
the DU team it is a different story There are several "ifs"
awaiting the present l-M champs before they can take second
place . . . The fight is between the Farm House who may have an
outside chance and the Phi Gams plus, of course, the DU bunch.
Iowa State
Sweeps Series
By Gene Sherman.
Ellis Alexander, Iowa State first
sacker, shattered Nebraska's hopes
for its first win of the season
when he drove out an eighth in
ning homer to give the Cyclones
a 9-7 victory over the Huskers in
the series finale yesterday.
The Huskers went into the lead
in the top half of the eighth when
four singles climaxed by Dean
Jackson's double gave them four
runs.
In the fatal eighth, Relief Hurler
Strohbehn opened with a single,
Centerfielder Johnson was safe on
Ernie Swanson's error, and Alex
ander hit for the circuit.
Strohbehn Wins Again.
Relief Hurler Strohbehn was
credited with the victory, his sec
ond over Nebraska in two days.
The Huskers return home to
day and will start making plans
for the strong Missouri nine which
will invade the Husker lair Fri
day and Saturday.

mil i.jda. cast their votes
for Lyda as the outstanding com
petitor at the relays and conse
quent winner of the John L. Grif
fith plaque. Lyda's feat of nego
tiating a 1:49.7 half mile anchor
lap for the record-smashing Ok
lahoma medley relay quartette
overshadowed all other .individual
feats.
Oklahoma's 3:23 for the sprint
medley topped the world record
by a full second. For sheer ver

Big Six cinder history. He has
been clocked in 9.8 for the century
dash, 47.8 for the quarter, 1:49.7
for the half mile, and 4:26 for the
mile. During a trial 220 sprint Ly
da beat teammate Orville Math

fabulous Mr. Lyda in action at the
