You country-minded gentry who
have in the past watched a hen
brood over her furry family con
obtain the same view by simply
visiting the indoor track beneath
east stadium any afternoon.
There you'll see Ed Weir meas
uring tape in one hand, stop watch
in the other bustling about the
place with a worried look on his
broad contenance. He'll stop at the
broad jump pit to measure a leap
er's step, then trot over to the
half-mile starting post to click his
stop watch on severa' harriers.
An interview with Ed goes some
thing like this:
Weir: Hye, fellow. (Then
troddles off, reporter on his heel,
to the broad jump pit.)
Reporter: How are the boys
shaping up for the K-State meet?
Weir: Pretty fair. (Then trod
dles off, reporter on his heel, to the
pole vault pit.)
Reporter: What does K-State
have?
Weir: Their big performer is
Al Rues, who has times of 4:26.6
in the mile and 10:09.9 in the two
mile. Then there is Upham, a
49-second quartermiler; Kimel, a
45-foot shot man; and Nelson, who
pole vaults upwards of 12 feet and
trots the halfmile close to the two
minute mark. (Then trodciles off
to start Al Brown on a trial half
mile run.)
Reporter (puffing): Ed, how
to you figure the indoor race will
come out?
Weir: Missouri should win with
Nebraska and K-State battling it
out for second place. (Then
troddles off to check Howard
Dtbus' shot putting form.)
By this time the weary Rag re
porter, his information on paper,
staggers off to type a five-inch
story.
Twice named Ail-American
tackle during the late twenties,
Weir also has been conceded a
tackle berth on virtually every A 1 1 -Time
gridiron team ever selected.
He also gained fame as one of the
top high hurdlers in the nation (15
seconds for the 120 highs when the
barriers were three inches higher
than today).
No basketball club can expect
success when there's dissention
among the individual performers.
That sentiment can be readily ap
plied here and now to Ad Lewan
dowski's Cornhusker court squad.
One performer refuses to per
form any longer if another eager
continues to start ahead of him.
Several other personal feuds have
sprouted during the past several
weeks.
A conscientious mentor who
knows his basketball, "Lew" de
serves a better break than he's
getting. Migration of reserve
strength to the air corps, leaves
the Scarlet tutor with exactly ten
available performers. Forced to
build from scratch at the start,
Lewamlowski now has to cope with
cquad difficulties.

Tip ATO's
. . Fiji's Win
Alpha Tau Omega's hopes for
the class "A" basketball title were
jolted last Tuesday evening when
an inspired Phi Delt cage ma
chine ran wild during the second
half to gain a 17-7 win over the
ATO's.
Johnny Dean, all-stater from
Lincoln high, was the main fac
tor in the Phi Delt triumph as
he scored all but two of the win
ner's points in the last half of
play. Dean scored eight of his
nine markers during the final
half.
At the inetrmission both clubs
were deadlocked at five all, but
during the final half of play Dean
began to hit with regularity and
the Phi Delt defense clicked to
turn the game into a rout.
Don James was the most out
standing performer for the losers,
while Dick Thompson turned in
a fine floor game for the win
ners. Phi Gam's 21; SAE's 11.
Phi Gamma Delta made it three
wins in& row with an easy 21-11
victory over the Sig Alphs. The
Fiji's commanded the play
throughout 'the game, once hold
ing a 16-4 lead in the second half.
Bob Campbell and Don Andre
son were again high point men for
the Phi Cams with six points each.
Aukes dropped in six for the
losers.
SAM 25; Delta Sigs 7.
With every man in the lineup
breaking into the scoring column,
the Sammies finally won a game
from the Delta Sigs 25-7. Al Lag
man and Bob Bramson shared
scoring honors in the SAM's with
seven points each. Bud Levinson
and Bob Chandler also turned in
good floor games for the win
ners. Delts 39; XBT 8.
The Delts are still tied for first
place with the Phi Gams in
League One. Led by Allen Bloom,
who tallied 15 times, the Delts
swamped the ZBT's 39-8 to gain
their third consecutive victory of
the campaign.
DU 21; AGR 11.
Delta Upsilon took over sole
possession of first place in League
Four by turning back the AGR's
21-11. Len Dunker paced the win
ners with seven markers.
Betas 14; Sig Eps 6.
Stan Huffman tossed five points
through the mesh to lead the
Beta's to a 14-4 win over the Sig
Eps. The Beta's now lead League
Two with two wins against no
losses.
In other Tuesday night con
tests, the Alpha Sigs nipped the
Theta Xi's . 10-7, Xi Psi Phi
trounced the Phi Psi's 22-7, and
the Sigma Chi's edged out the
Beta Sigs 9-7.

Loosen Tears
. . . Meet Saturday
Kansas and Nebraska sang the
blues yesterday over their track
chances Saturday. Said Kansas
spike coach, Ward Haylett, in a
letter to Ed Weir, "We are thin
in spots and weak in others."
Spoke Husker Mr. Weir in return
"Zikmund has been out two days
with a cold, and Christenson is
bothered with a bad leg, but other
wise we'll be ready come 3:00
o'clock Saturday afternoon."
So it went in the camps of the
Cornhuskers and Wildcats yes
terday as Maestro's Weir and
Haylett added final touches to
their cinder charges.
"We'll possibly slam the shot
put and pick up valuable points
in other field events," said Weir,
"but Kansas State appears to be
proficient in the distances."
Whether Christenson will be
around to bolster timber toppers
Tallman and Tress was still un
known, but things looked up to
the possibility yesterday. Zikmund
drilled during the afternoon and
is apparently set to give Wild
cats a run Saturday.
Weir announced a new attrac
tion. It's 60-yard shot putter's
race which will feature Ki Eisen
hait, Howie Debus and Victor
Schleich, present king of Big Six
shot put ranks.
"Student tickets will be good
Saturday," concluded Weir.

Sure Thing!
BY GENE SHERMAN.
(Intramural Editor.)
Tuesday evening's I-M basket
ball games were marred by con
stant bickerings between the par
ticipants and officials.
Three times during the Phi
Delt-ATO clash, technical fouls
were levied upon the players for
excessive "griping" and "whim
pering." As a result both offi
cials became so aggravated that
they commenced to wonder why
they took time from their study
ing to come over to the coliseum
to referee, a game, between, a
couple of "school kid teams.
We wish to remind all intro
mural players that the l-M de
partment can only afford amateur
"refs" for amateur teams. .Those
boys out there are doing a favor
by giving up their study hours to
let you play. What do you say we
all cooperate with them?
In 48 minutes of play, Beta op
ponents have only scored nine
points. After letting Boss "Horse
Sense" Anderson do the math
ematical work we came to the
conclusion that the Beta oppon
ents only score .18 points per
minute.
There have been a lot of ex
high Nebraska school greats per
forming for the various frater
nities, not to mention high school
satellites from out-state high
schools.
From nearby South Dakota
comes Justin Berger, Beta, who
was once an all-around athlete at
Sioux Falls high.
Right now...

In Overtime
. . . Down K-State
BY NORRIS ANDERSON.
Adolph Lewandowski's Scarlet
and Cream flippers hauled back
from the brink of defeat last night
in the coliseum by overcoming
K-State resistance in arr overtime
period for a 50-47 victory before
1,500 screaming fans.
Big scoreboard on the west wall
flashed "43-43" as the timer's gun
popped in the press box. Dean Lill
hit from outcourt to shove the
Wildcats in front at outset of over
time play. Fitzgibbon countered
for Nebraska and the count stood
45-45. Two angle shots by Bob
Heinzelman found the mesh and
the Huskers scooted into a 49-45
lead.
Kohl Scores.
Kohl tipped in follow shot for
49- 47. Johnny Bortka then fouJld
Bob Heinzelman, made the free
toss good and the final count,
50- 47.
A dull first half saw the Big Six
rivals alternate leadership with the
gun chancing to pop when the
Scarlet commanded, 19-18. A se
ries of sorties by Joe Ridgeway,
half-pint Wildcat forward, carried
the invaders into 40-32 margin
with five minutes remaining in the
ball game.
Three baskets by Max Young,
plus one two-pointer from Hein
zelman, made the count 40-40 with
two minutes left. A frantic flurry
then netted each club three points
to necessitate the overtime session.
Bob Heinzelman's 14 points, five
in the extra period, gave him scor
ing laurels for the evening. Maxie
Young was close behind with 10
points and a nice stint of rebound
work. Wild passing and defensive
lapses kept Husker play below par
before overtime play.
5-5 of bona fide Wildcat Joe
Ridgeway, 120-pounder paced the
invaderc with 13 points and was a
fly in Husker ointment thruout.
Teammate Fred Kohl equaled his
offensive total.
