Football Coach Bernie Master
son will get his first look at the
1946 edition of the Nebraska grid
iron squad Thursday night, when
he calls to order " meeting of all
students interest - i spring foot
ball. Of course the aspirants will be
in 5(,reet clothes, but Bernie will
have an estimate as to the num
ber of candidates, and some idea
as to the strength he can count
on when fall practice rolls around.
His recent jaunt through the
state has served to stir up plenty
of interest in the west Nebraska
citizenry, and the Husker squad
should benefit from the presence
a few high school stars who will
see fit to continue their educa
tion at the University of Nebraska.
While on the subject of the en
rollment of potential athletes,
Iowa University seems to be go
ing all-out in an effort to perpetu
ate the Hawkeye athletic su
premacy in Big Ten competition,
now limited to the basketball
championship.
Stories of big-name stars seen
treading the Iowa City campus
have filled the air in the last
few days, and the Hawkeye school
has been open to all athletes who
might wish to stop off for a few
days, to browse about the campus,
looking over the educational fa
cilities. Eddie Hickey, former Creigh
ton University basketball coach,
had the right idea when he in
formed the Iowa U. athletic of
ficials in no uncertain terms that
he did not appreciate their con
cern for a former Creighton
basketball star who has two years
of varsity competition yet to use.
Similar action by other coaches
would soon put the damper on the
marauding tactics now in evidence
at the Big Ten schooL
What could be more appro
priate as balm for the wounds
of Nebraska basketball followers
than the information that "Phog"
Allen, Kansas University basket
ball coach, has been voted as
second choice in Esquire Maga
zine's poll to determine the lead
ing all-time college basketball
coach.
The fiery Jayhawk mentor
ranked behind Ward (Piggy)
Lambert, who has just retired
from the coaching game at Pur
due. Allen received 20.9 percent
of all votes cast, as to 22.6 per
cent for Lambert.
Kansas is now well on the way
to its twelfth Big Six cage title,

between Iowa State and Nebras

an indoor track, and the fourth

may explain the fact that three

Work Out Daily
With the intramural boxing
tournament less than a month
away, the coliseum is fairly buz
zing with mitt-slingers of all
weights working out daily under
the watchful eye of Jerry Adams.
Over 20 men are sharpening their
punches in . preparation for the
tourney.
Those who have looked out
standing in workouts include
Steve Dzama, Joe Marriott, Nor
ris Sibert, and Chick Byrne of
Navy, also Gerald Farrar, Ray
Roth, Stan Mark, Wayne Watson
and Jimmy Welsh.
One of the more impressive
workouts of the week was be
tween John Sedlacek and Don
Wait, both from Seward. Wait,
although spotting Sedlacek some
20 odd pounds, matched footballer
Sedlacek punch for punch in a
three round mix, which left them
both ready for the showers with
slightly reddened faces.

the winners in the various weight

Indoor Drills
Indoor conditioning drills get
under way this week for varsity
baseball candidates, according to
Coach Smagacz, who promises
that all baseball drills will move
outside as soon as the weather
permits.
An encouraging turnout of over
80 men greeted Smagacz after he
issued the first call for players
interested in trying out for the
varsity team. A large percentage
of the prospects have had experi
ence on American Legion and
service ball teams, and there are
several lettermen from prewar
days who will be on hand to
serve as a nucleus for the nine.
There will be a "B" team for
men who do not make the varsity
squad, and the varsity diamond
at the northwest corner of the
intramural playing field will be
worked into shape for home games
and practices.
An extensive schedule is being
arranged, and thei Husker nine
will meet most of the college
teams in this area.
Smagacz invites all men who
are interested in the team, to re
port to him in the coliseum base
ment any afternoon at 4 o'clock.
