DAILY NEBRASKAN 3 etas, Phi Gams Set to Defend Intramural Top Now that all th preliminaries of school are taken care of and most students are getting into the routine of things, the average house athlete begins to dream of how wonderful it would be to have possession of the Jack Best tro phy. Before long all the potential athletes are outside passing the football around getting into shape for the touch football season. Indications are that another hotly contested intramural season should develop as usual. During the 1940-'41 intramural season the By Norris Anderson j (Sports Editor) Attention All Intramural Managers There will be a meeting of all fraternity intramural man ager tonight, 7:30, at the "N" club room.

Last vear the determined Betas, after trailing most of the Hied durine the final mart of the intramural calendar to snatch the Jack Best trophy from the Thi Gams. Betas Take Softball. fioinr back to last season's race we see that it was a three way battle between the Betas, Phi fian and the DU's. The Phi Gams jumped into a lead which they didn t relinguish unui spring when the Betas captured the soft- ball crown. In order to make sure of the championship the Betas took first in golf and a fourth in tennis competition. The DU's didn't step into the spotlight until after they took top honors in the badminton tourney. They then garnered more needed points by taking a tirst in soiiDan and the"runner-un position in the track, ping pong and handball competition. The turning point in last sea unn'a race.mieh't be traced back to the indoor track meet. The Betas were awarded the top honors when the ATO's were dis qualified from the first position due to the participation of an in-f-lieible man. This break for the Betas was all they needed to gain the morale necessary lor a win ning team.

Big Six conference grid play will make its biggest' splash of the camnaien next week when every club in the league engages foes. However, the Iowa State Nebraska clash is the only con ference game set for execution. With both clubs boasting im proved rosters, the Cyclone-Cora-husker mix ranks as the headline attraction of the day. Glenn Pres nells boys are counting, the mo mrnti until thev can era all memory of the blasting they took at Ioa City Saturday. fTvirv ether tilt is of the tune up variety with most clubs open ing the campaign. That leneth of women's skirts and the power of football teams go up and down can be conclu sively proven bv dint of compan- son between me ii ana ii Husker-Hawk squads. It took two desperate last-ditch coring surges to carry the Scarlet banner on too last year. Botn clubs lost an equal amount of manpower via oraduation elimina tion, both retained their entire backfield casts. Yet Iowa blasts the Presnell lads, 27-0, in the 1942 rendition. Snorts Ed Merrill Goldbersr of the Iowa campus press effectively I headlined his game account Hawks Husk Corn. 27-0." An swer to the sound Husker spank ing at Iowa is two-ioia: uuxe Cumin and Tom Farmer. Minus the baffling Curran dashes, the prodigious Farmer tossing, and .several Husker errors Nebraska had the stuff to spank Dr. Eddie's rising team. Every Iowa paper we saw played the game account fairly, giving the Huskers credit for "a bad day" and the lowans praise for a "click performance." Hardly equal to the harsh verbal beating administered by Fred Ware, sports maestro of the world tieraia. Fred opened with: The Corn- huskers' first exposure to war time football this windswept afternoon turned out to De JU-OQO minutes of almost unadulterated errors, embarrassment and sim plest humiliation." Thru some 16 galleys did Herr ware scaia and burn the Presnell kids, tauing to droD a single word of praise. inese kios naroiy oeserve sucn a press spanking; neither does Mentor Presne II. It was the sea son inaugural, fingers were numb from the frigid wind, and the Hawkeves were clicking with one start behind them. Thru all the humiliation we cite two cer tainties: 1. Every team is entitled to a bad dav. 2. Nebraska's opening perform ance against Iowa State last year was equally erroneous. Any critic who attributes the loss to change of roachirr staff is an absolute fool. For sheer grid knowledge and actual experience, we have the top coach in tne league. One more item which must be rft-alt w ith before we close for the day. Sending the Huskers off to their first earne of tne season was. the slimmest, quietest bunch of students ever cieaiea. A school steeped in rich football tradition like Nebraska deserves; oenuine student backing. Those fellows give their all for the school and they deserve every plaudit! thrown their way. When the team came back, some ten "rabid" grid enthusiasts were on hand to greet' their sweating heroes. j An armv travels on its stomach, as Pal Napoleon put it. So does a grid club thrive on atuaeni support. YES THEY ARE BACK AGAIN! i (ii ! 1 f i ! J - - . f 4t? V TS 3. SB T j J 1 4! Tromt row: Umdt. Kmqtt. CorteJrM. Vftort. CopC ToBmot. rubber.
