Rule Change

Governors
9iL J Jul
It has been some time since we handled the sports reins
but due to the times, we have been asked to gather together
th odds and ends of the sports world the little things that
make it go around and put them together . . . This set-up
will last until the end of the semester and then if things are
somewhere near normal, you will have your former sports
ed batting out the copy.
The Sports Future? ...
There is still the "business ns usual" sign out in sports
both collegiate and professional, but there is a small placard
dose by with a warning sign on it . . . None of the athletic or
ganizers are willing thus far to stick their necks out and then
get caught . . . The war has its effects recognizable thruout the
entire system ... In boxing for example, there has been such a
lack of heavyweight contenders of a calibre necessary for a
world title holder that the public will soon demand either
new blood or no blood . . . Consider also the situation in base
ball and football ... In the former, farm clubs are being aban
doned, player-swapping is done without looking at the individ
ual but after examining draft and military standing ... As for
the pigskin sport, the most recent thing that shows an automatic
slow-down in the customary acceleration following the close
of the pro season was the doing away with the college drafting
of players . . . All in all it looks like a timid vote of no con
fidence, which could be done away with entirely by proper
governmental authorities clarifying the situation and the of
ficial outlook upon the sports world.
Notice to Wrestlers ...
It looks like any Ilusker wrestler, and, yes, we still do have
them, will have to change any plans which he might have en
tertained about seeing action on the well-padded arenas of the
national AAU championships ... A report of the AAU com
mittee which is published elsewhere on this page forgot the
prunt and groan sport entirely . . . They forgot to select a site
for national competitions in men's outdoor track and field
wrestling, ice hockey, volleyball and codcball . . . Next ques
tion is whether there will be any wrestling activity this year
after the conference de-emphasization of the sport.

University Senate Votes
On Proposal Permitting
Frosh Athletes Compete
Following action by Big Six
conference representatives on per
mitting freshman to compete in
intercollegiate athletics, aU that
remains before UN frosh may
compete is a time limit and con
firmation by the University Senate.
Dean T. J. Thompson, Nebras
ka's representative, said yesterday
that he did not "anticipate any
particular difficulty" in obtaining
approval by faculty committees
and by the senate.
TJie time limit placed by the
conference heads was March 1,
1943.
"Some modification of the pres
ent rules may be made as they ap
ply to the University of Nebras
ka," Thompson stated but there
was an indication that most of the
rules was adopted by the Big Six
dons last Saturday would be added
to these governing intercollegiate
sports at this school.
The resolutions:
"Resolved, that freshmen may partici
pate in intercollegiate athletics for the
duration, or until such permission is with

fide matriculant.

semester or quarter hours, exclusive of
miltiary or physical education.
3. That in order to narticlpate during
a second semester or quarter he shall have
completed 12 semester or quarter hours in
academic courses the previous semester or
quarter.
4. That in order to participate during a
third semester or quarter he shall have
completed 24 semester or quarter hours
during his two preceding semesters or
quarters, and thereafter be shall meet the
present conference eligibilitv requirements.
5. That no athlete shall be awarded a
letter except as he shall have completed
12 hours in course work in the semester
or quarter in which he participated.

ra conflict with the provisions of this
resolution are hereby repealed.

LAWRENCE, Kans., Dec. 15
A drastically revised starting
lineup will be placed on non-conference
cage courts soon when
Coach F. C. Phog" Allen takes
his University of Kansas basket
ball squad on a road trip starting
Dec. 26.
Coach Allen has not spared a
single man on the squad since he
began his shakcup activities in
last Monday night practice. His
early shifts saw Ray Evans, all
Big Six football selection and All
American candidate, changed from
his driving position at guard into
the all-important spot of quarter
back. In an effort to find more scor
ing powers, Allen placed Evans
at the quarterback post and moved
John Buescher back to a guard
location. Bueschner is an excel
lent long shot and is good at driv
ing and cutting for the basket.
The chances for a successful
season took a severe blow Mon
day night at practice when Bill
Brill, sophomore defensive ace who
had earned a regular place in the
backline, wrenched his knee and
was taken to the student infirm
ary. His condition is not serious
but he will be out of action for
several days and his value to the
team for the remainder of the
season is problematical.
To replace Brill has been the
job of sophomore Armand Dixon.
Admittedly a smooth ball-handler
and good defensive player, Dixon's
greatest forte is his California
style of one-hand shooting. He
has also alternated with Evans
at the quarterback post with the
latter returning to guard.
At forward the biggest change
has been the advancement of jun
ior letterman Bob Fitzpatrick. Al
ways a definite scoring threat
with his uncanny set-shot shooting
Fitzpatrick has shown enough de
cided improvement in his floor
game and in his defensive tech
nique to warrant a starting berth
against Rockhurst.
Gridder Has Berth.
Another change in the lineup
will find a second sophomore, Otto
Schnellbacher, replacing Jack Bal
lard at a forward terminal.
Schnellbacher has been improving
rapidly in practice since leaving
the football field and should de
velop into the team's leading
scorer.
