V Fridav. Mav l. 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN 7 j I J -r V 1 Nebraska Diamond Squad Meets Tiger Nine Friday In Initial Test at Home I A ' ' 1 By Bob Miller Coach Glenn Presnell will take the trip that now Lt Col. Biff Jones had in mind when he scheduled a track meet with West Point last year ... It seems that Jones wanted a track meet with the army academy so that he could get back east with the cinder squad and renew a lot of his old acquaintances . . . Since that time, however. Biff has been recalled to West Point as trraduate manager of athletics and so he wont have any use for the trip. . .He invited his successor, Glenn Presnell to take his place and so Press will go back to West Point ... In facet, we should say, he did ro back as the Huskers pulled out yesterday morning for the eastern shores. With the meet scheduled for Saturday afternoon, there will be plenty of action during the evening . . The entire Cornhusker en tourage will sojourn to New York City.. While in the big city the fellows will go on a visit to Rockefeller Center, on a sight seeing tour and attend a coast-to-coast broadcast. . .The tour will wind up on Sunday evening when the squad embarks for the trek home. The main worry now is defeating the Army Cadets on their home grounds. . .After that has been taken care of, there will be no more worries. . .At least for the weekend. Newt Copple, Husker grappling ace, had a letter change his plans for the imediate future... He was all ready to leave for the National Junior A.A.XJ. meet in Davenport. Iowa on Wednesday when the letter came informing him that there would be no meet this year due "to a lack of interest on the competitors' part" . . Copple was all set to hitch hike to the tussle, failing to get University backing. Students at Ames Pull Army Taffy By Associated Press.

Ivy Day this year will be cal dilated as it was one other time when some who would have par tlcipated in it were in the armed forces of our country. That year 1918 a service flag fifteen feet square, bore 1,40 stars, one i honor of each Nebraska fellow who had responded to the call to arms. The flag was dedicated by the students on May 11, 1918.

George Gribble, sophomore shortstop from Greenwood was de clared ineligible Wednesday to hurt further Husker diamond chances as Coach Ad Lewan dowski put on the finishing touches before the University of Missouri two-game invasion this weekend. The Tigers are defending champs of the Big Six association and have two victories and one loss under their belts. The Husk ers have four defeats and no wins in season play with half of the losses being in the Big Six circles. Nebraska opened last weekend against Minnesota and took two beatings there, one by a 1-0 score behind the five hit pitching of Ernie Swanson. They moved to the Iowa State field on Monday and Tuesday and lost both games. In the last game the score was 9-7 and wasn't decided until the end of the eighth inning. Loss of Gribble and the doubt concerning the eligibility of Allen Artman, veteran first sacker, are cutting the chances of the diamond squad. The prize infield that looked so good in practice of Artman, Bernie LeMaster, second base; Gribble and Pat Boyle, third has not played a single game in the intact form. Artman could not make the Minnesota trip due to an official ruling and Bob Cooper took over the initial bag. Coach John "Hi" Simmons of the Bengal invaders has a strong pitching staff upon which to rely The rest of the battery, the catch ers, is plenty strong also. Spencer Has Real Record. Bill "Bobo'' Spencer, Tiger pitcher, is the mainstay of the en tire team. Bobo, senior right hander, is probably the loop s out standing pitcher. Last year, he turned in ten victories and no de feats to give the Missouri team the conference crown. In his entire three years of pitching at the Tiger institution, he has dropped but two decisions. To back Bobo up, Frank Graham will probably do the pitching in the escond game on Saturday. The Gableman Gets Chance George Gribble, regular shortstop, was declared inelig ible for the remainder of the season yesterday. He followed Al Artman, first-sacker, inelig ible for the first trip. Buck Gableman, a converted outfielder, is the top bet to fill Gribble's shoes. If Artman is not eligible for the Missouri game Saturday, he will again be replaced by Bob Cooper. Friday game will be played at 4 p. m. while the Saturday tilt is scheduled for 2 p. m. on the field north of the stadium. Tigers Open Home Season. Missouri will give the Huskers their first test on home ground this year since a game neatly scheduled with a service team did not materialize for a week ago. The Tigers will have nothing to worry about in the outfield. Herbie Gregg, Missouri outstanding bas ketballer will be policing the cen ter field area with Russel Hoff man and Jim Dimitriades in left and right, respectively. Gregg who is the potent hitter of the three some is a senior with the other two juniors. This outfield com bination was going strong as the season ended last spring. Big weakness is the Bengal in field which as one person put it is a "green, out-of-position in field." The leading hitter for the guest aggregation is Earl Conk lin, infielder who keeps the hot corner warm. Conklin is moving along at about a .700 clip at this point. He is a sophomore and is the club's outstanding ball snagger. ilk picnicking . , . cycling . . . . . lounging ... for every casual moment, it's SLACKS Smart N. U. coeds have no lack of clacks!
