At approximately 9:30 tonight,

"Ifs" in the race for leadership
in the Jack Best trophy are three
fold: (1) ft both the Phi Delt "A"
and "B" teams hit the win column
tonight the 16th and "R" street
boys will have piled up a comfort
able lead over the Fiji's. (2) If the
Phi Delt "A" team wins and the
B" five is defeated, the Phi Delt
margin over the Phi Gams will be
as narrow as the profile of Mort
Zuber's physique. (3) If ,the Phi
Gams win and the Phi Delts team
is defeated, the Phi Delts will be
only shouting distance from the
number one spot.
Latest reports from Roily Hor-
ney of the I-M department says
that Intramurals on this campus
will finish the year out.
Latest indications from the vari
ous fraternities denote that they
will co-operate with the I-M de
partment 100',e until the last man
is gone.
Tonight's championship games
will be composed of 16 minute
halves instead of the 12 used dur
ing the regular season. The boys
must be getting into "shape."

Next week will find the I-M
athletes hanging up their basket
ball shoes and picking out their
handball gloves and pingpong
paddles from the mess on the floor
of their closet.
Daily Nebraskan "A" and "B'
all star teams will be published
some time next week.
Cyclones Open
Grid March 22
Iowa state gridders will open
their spring drills on March 22
according to an announcement
made yesterday by Mike Michal
ske. Cyclone football coach.
Michalske, together with Louis
Menze and Clayton Sutherland will
havve a big job ahead of them as
they shape the 1943 squad. Only
six lettermen remain in school and
at least one, George Cast, is ex
pected to leave for army duty at
the end of the current quarter.

State swimmers will wait one
week before tangling with Wash
ington university in a postal meet.
The meet, originally scheduled
for last Saturday, will be run off
next Friday.
The Cyclones have won two and
lost three in dual meet competition
this year, including a postal vic
tory over the LaCrosse, Wis., State
Teachers college.
Star Dash Man
Again Ready
MINNEAPOLIS, March 2. The
Minnesota track team's hopes for
a good showing against Iowa Sat
urday afternoon in the Fieldhouse
took a slight rise yesterday when
Track Coach Jim Kelly announced
that Dick Kelley will take time
off from his wing position on the
Gopher hockey sextet to run the
60-yard dash.
The addition of Kelley will bol
8ter the manpower of the Gopher
cindermen considerably and will
probably enable Kelly to have at
least one Minnesota man entered
in every event. In previous meets
the Gophers had only six men
available and were forced to pass
up four events.
With Kelley in the 60-yard dash
and Stephen Hise in the half mile,
Kelly now has a squad of eight
men. This still represents the
smallest track team the Gophers
have had in many years. Despite
the war, Wisconsin had 31 men
and Northwestern 20 men entered
in the triangular meet at Madison
last Saturday, so one can easily
see how shorthanded the Gophers
have been in past meets.

Fresh from the Big Six indoor
cinder festival, Nebraska's track
squad now turns to the outdoor
season. Outdoor track was as
sured Saturday in Kansas City
when the league's dons voted to
continue competitive athletics. An
nouncement that navy units prob
ably won't be called until June in
dicates that Howard Debus, a V-7
enrollee, will be available. Debus
placed second in the indoor shot
with 46-4 and first in the vault
with 13-2. Outdoors, he tosses the
javelin over 200 feet.

Gerald Tucker's 38 points
against Nebraska in the season
finale Tuesday night established
a new Big Six scoring mark and
recalled 1928-29 when two Husk
ers, Morrie Fisher and Harvey
Grace jointly established the rec
ord at 20 points in a single fracas.
In the fourteen seasons of Big
Six play, points out Walt Dobbins
of the Journal, only 44 perform
ers have succeeded in making
over 20 points in a single contest
Tucker was the third Big Six
eager to top thirty points. Jimmy
McNatt, Oklahoham speedster,
poured through 30 points in 1940
for a record. Then along came
Charley Black earlier this year
with 33 points and another new
mark. Past point performances:

match."
All is tpiiet aloiifr the t'ondmsker front today." what with
indoor track completed and sprint;- mid two weeks hence, so
we "11 waste no further ado in introducing our assistants Henry
Fishback and (iene Sherman.
Sherman is a soft-spoken fellow, replete with fuzz-cut and
a big- grin. Intramurals coverage is his territory and he tramps
the terrain like a juvenile Grantland Rice. A deliberate scribe,
Sherman writes accurately and slowly. He hails from Sioux
City, down Iowa way, and is enrolled in the school of journal
ism. Track coverage, features and general all-round dope oc
cupy Henry's duties. A native of California, he writes with all
the flare of the far-western cult. He has called our basketball
team everything from "casaba dan' to "maplites"' and is im
mortal for this description of a basket: "He pilfered the net
with marvelous accuracy." Ed Weir's pipe holds a particular
fascination for Henry. Three recent Fishback indoor track
stories opened with Weir puffing out words between pipe drafts.
Henry won recognition lasts year among student scribes for
Vriting the "best prep sports story of the year."
To illustrate the slack in sports news, we quote from a dis
patch sent here today from the Iowa State sports service: "This
is the year for you to gTow a garden, if you possibly can. It
may be a mere plot, or it may be a big plot, but don't take on a
bigger area than you can handle, etc."
If you Cyclone scribes find material so scarce, why not
sponsor a milking contest among members of the wrestling
team!
Ilusker grid tutor, Olen Presnell. retrieved his coaching
togs from winter storage in the coaching staff dressing room
todav.
I '11 be needing these in a couple weeks, ' ' said the amiable
Husker grid tutor, "I think we'll have plenty of fellows out
for an interesting time."
Cornhusker practice sessions definitely open March 1-".
Rumor is about that possibly Presnell might schedule several
games with other ltig Six schools to cap the spring, training
practice.

COLUMBIA, Mo., March 3. -Missouri's
court squad was today
still recovering breath from the
hair-raiset Tuesday night against
Phog Allen's crew.
Long shots from the field and
deadly accuracy from the free
throw circle gave Kansas a 47-44
overtime victory over Missoufl
Tuesday night.
Kansas, handcuffed by a tight
Missouri defense beneath the bas
ket, used a shot from midcourt by
Guard John Buescher in the last
ten seconds of the first half to
gain a 22-20 intermission lead.
