Sooners Face
Opening Duel
. . With North Teachers
NORMAN, Okl. April 8. Coach
John Jacobs' University of Okla
homa track and field kindergar
ten, youngest Sooner thinclad
squad in 25 years, will try for re
venge here Saturday in a return
dual with the North Texas Teach
ers of Denton, Tex.
At Denton three weeks ago,
Coach Lloyd Russell's Eagles
nipped the youthful Sooners 72-69
but had to win the final event, the
mile relay, to do it.
Outstanding performers for the
Denton team are Sprinter Bobby
Jones, a 9.7 man, who twice de
feated Bill Reimers, Oklahoma
sophomore; Hurdler Ray Womack,
last year's Border Relays high
hurdle champ; and Capt. Boyd
Vaughn, distance runner, who led
the North Texas squad to triumph
in the Sugar Bowl cross-country
meet at New Orleans last winter.
The Oklahoma team, composed
almost entirely of freshmen and
sophomores, showed improved
form in the Texas Relays Satur
day at Austin, placing second to
Texas in the distance medley re
lay and second to Texas A. & M.
in the sprint medley relay.
In these relays, George Roberts,
Oklahoma's Pawnee Indian full
blood, did 2:01.1 on the half-mile
and 50.3 seconds on a 440-leg;
Reimers ran a 51.8 quarter and a
22.1 furlong around a curve;
Freshan Andy Cary of Duncan
3:13.8 on the three-quarters and
1:58.7 on a second race half-mile
to gain ground on every runner in
the race and Sophomore Dan
Painter ran a 4:32.2 anchor mile
on the Sooner distance medley
team.
. .. Sig Alphs Win
ATO and Phi Gam softball ag
gregations successfully weathered
first round competition last night
by conquering the Beta Sigs and
Sigma Chis.
Kenny Elson faced only 16 men
in five innings in pitching his Al
pha Tau cohorts to an 8 to 0 shut
outover the Beta Sigs. Only Beta
Sig hit was obtained on an ATO
bobble.
Cook Leads.
Larry Cook's three hits paced
the Phi Gam crew to a 14 to 5 de
cision over a weak-fielding Sig Chi
club. An early 4 to 1 Sig Chi lead
was severed in the second inning
when the big Fiji bats started
meeting the sphere.
A 16 point spree in the second
inning boosted the Kappa Sigs to
a 20 to 15 win over the Betas.
Home runs by Turk Tangeman,
Earl Green and Bud Nelson aided
the Kappa Sig cause.
An extra inning was required
by the Phi Psi crew to edge out
a stubborn Delt nine, 12 to 11.
Delta Sigs, led by Bill Ferguson
with a homer, edged the Farm
House, 18 to 17. Minthorne hit for
the circuit for the losers.
Home runs by Dale Bradley and
Wilford Hatfield sparked the
SAE's 9 to 0 win over the Theta
Xi's.
Phi Delta Theta scored the most
decisive victory of the day with
a 17-0 win over the Alpha Sigs.

Huskers Take Note!
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 8
Chilly weather didn't prevent
George Hauser from putting his
football men thru a two hour out
door practice yesterday. High
lights of the day was the initial
appearance of Captain Cliff An
derson, rangy end, and Bill Aid
worth, giant tackle, on dusty,
wind-swept Northrop field.
With Track Coach Jim Kelly
helping out with the coaching, over
50 football candidates swelled the
total for the second day's prac
tice. Once again the squad was
split Into three teams which ran
thru plays.
The first eleven had Anderson
and Dick Burk at ends, Aldworth
and Ed Bush at tackles, Bob Grai
ziger and John Perko at guards,
Bob Solheim at center and Bill
Garnaas, Red Williams, Bud Lec-
kie and John Lundquist in the
backfield. In addition to Aldworth
and Anderson Leckie, Bush, and
Lundquist were new faces on the
first squad. The latter two are
freshmen.
Behind the number one team,
experienced talent drops, percep
tibly. Five of the second eleven
are frosh. Elmer Thiesse and
Remu Bretoi were at ends; Sew
ell Johnson and Dean Rallis were
at tackles; Jim Jewett and Clint
Grose were at guards; Jack Spe
wak was at center and Red John
son, Bob Granum, Ossie Trooien
and Bob Avery were in the back-
field.
Army Losses.
Meanwhile, the loss of another
man to armed forces was an
nounced yesterday. Tom Geelan,
frosh lineman, joins the army Mon
day.
With Captain Anderson back in
the lineup at his end post, the
situation in End Coach Ed Lech'
ner's field has vastly improved. On
Monday, only four men showed up
to work out under Lechner, and
three of these freshmen. However,
changes in the lineup now have
swelled the number of ends to nine.
The addition of Aldworth at
tackle made the first string line
decidedly stronger. Aldworth is
in good shape since he wrestled
at the heavyweight spot on the
mat team after doing a good job
of playing understudy to Dick
Wildung on the football team last
fall. The first team line that faces
the varsity backfield in the annual
spring game May 15 will have two
of the best tackles in the Big Ten
in Aldworth and veteran Paul
Mitchell.

... In Biff Six
From all the members of the
Big Six schools comes the same
report: "The lowly freshman ia
coming into his estate these spring
days as coaches of all the spring
sports and football which now has
spring practice, turn to first year
youngsters to fill gaping holes in
varsity lineups occasioned by the
loss of men to the armed forces."
Instead of donning castoff var
sity uniforms and working out
by themselves as in former years,
the freshman athlete is a figure
of importance on this spring's ath
lptin soene as a result of the re-
f cent action of the Big Six faculty
committee in waiving the one year
residence rule.
At universities all over the Big
Six, more than half of the men
on the varsities this spring are
made up of freshmen. In the case
of certain sports, the presence of
freshmen is the only thing stand
ing between putting a team on
the field and disbanding for the
duration.
Usually the Big Six schools each
have from 60 to 100 candidates
out for spring football practice.
This year is of course the excep
tion to the rule. All of the coaches
have been enlisting men to come
out for football for the same
reasons.
