Husker Head Coach Ad Lewandowski regards the re cent state high school basketball tournament as a hearten ing indication that UN athletics will be able to carry on despite the war. Lew's reasoning proceeds along these lines: Among the hundreds of splendid young athletes who par ticipated in the tourney, there were a great many who will wish to put a year of college behind them before they be come old enough for service in the armed forces. Of these youths, Lew reasons, many will choose to attend UN, since the majority of Nebraska high school athletes have always displayed a keen desire to attend their state university and play with Husker teams. Thus, in Lewandowski's eyes, UN teams can continue to depend on athletes from the high schools of Nebraska to keep Scarlet and Cream colors high, despite the war. We see eye to eye with Lew on this matter. There seems to us to be no reason why the traditional fine crop of athletes from the high schools of the state should not continue to enroll at the University each fall. With these youthful athletes seasoned by a sprinkling of draft-deferred veterans as was the case with this year's foot ball, basketball, and indoor track teams UN should con tinue to field fighting athletic teams, teams which bring nothing but credit to the University, no matter what their won-lost records. We agree with Lew, too, when he says that a great share of the credit for the high caliber of UN teams tnrougn the years belongs to the high school coaches of the state. The high school coaches, says Lewandowski, annually turn out a crop of skilled, well-trained athletes. Few of these youths, of course, are completely ready for collegiate competition, but they have the necessary background of fundamentals upon which Husker coaches can build. Upon Nebraska high school athletes and their coaches, thus, concludes Lew, rests much of the future hope of Husker sports.. Minnesota Teams End Winter Slates Convo MINNEAPOLIS. Three M i n- nesota teams have completed their winter schedules with all boasting better than averace success for the season's efforts. Coach Niels Thorpe and h swimmers duplicated their record of last year by finishing the sea son undefeated in dual competi tion. The Gophers scored victories over Lawrence, Wisconsin, lowa State and Iowa in order and placed third in the Big Ten champion ships held at Evanston, the same position won last year. Outstanding performances were turned in by the three lettermen Sam Solhaug, Don Fra.se r in the swimming events and Verne Ruos talainen in diving. The latter went through the season undefeated tn dual competition and placed sec ond in the conference meet. He undoubtedly will add to his laurels when he competes in the National Collegiate meet to be held at Yale the latter part of March. Coach Thorpe predicts that he has an excellent chance to finish among the first three in this top attrac tion of the year for collegiate d:vers. Hockey Draws Fans. Gopher tankmen compiled a sea son point total of 190 points to 145 for their opponents. Coach Larry Armstrong and his hockey team were forced to for sake collegiate circles this season in ynier to arrange a schedule. Because of existing travel condi tions and restrictions it 'was im possible to schedule schools, that in the past have appeared against Minne-sota m the ice sport. As a result, names of old friendly rivals such as Michigan, Illinois, Dart mouth. Yale and Michigan Tech were absent from the list of op ponents. To compensate for the scarcity of .tercollegiate rivalry the Gophers played a schedule consist ing of two Canadian teams, the SL James Club of Winnipeg and Ihe, Port Arthur Griffens, a team composed of navy men serving aboard the H.M.C.S. Griffen. To round out the schedule for the year the hockey team took the ice against three Minneapolis Park League teams composed cf former professional and college stars. A season record of six wins and five losses was compiled in play ing this tough competition, mak ing this the 13th year that a Min nesota hockey team has finished the season with better than a .500 average.
