Wrestling in the heavyweight and 175 pound classes, Boker has been unbeaten in his three starts since joining the squad at the be ginning of the second semester. In his most recent victory, Boker decisioned Ron Hudgin of Iowa State in a 175 pound battle.

The Husker squad has been unable to win in six starts, but this year's team has faced some of the best teams in the nation, 'including Iowa Teachers, Indiana, Iowa State and Iowa University, and prospects for future successes in the mat sport are rosy.

NITE PH QJ 5 LK Li I n r nj U VD Ul Br George We see from press releases dis tributed by the Universities of Oklahoma and Minnesota, that the University of Nebraska baseball team will be in action against these schools. No word of the Husker schedule has been released by the Athletic Department, but the Minnesota bulletin tells us that the Nebraska team will open the Gophers' season with a pair of games at Minneapolis on April 12 and 13. Nebraska baseball coach Frank Smagaci Is awaiting word from one or two schools before the com plete Husker schedule can be re leased, but indications point to plenty of competition for the Scar let nine this spring. Several former squadmen are back on the campus, including Dean Jackson, Ray Sedlack and Exclusive with Gold & Co. in Lincoln ..

The triangular track meet Sat urday night involving Nebraska, Kansas and Kansas State, will have numerous complications. In addition to being a three-way meet, the competition will be on a dual meet basis between Kansas and Kansas State, between Ne braska and Kansas, and between Nebraska and Kansas State. It may be far into the night before the final scores are tabu lated to determine winners of these four different rivalries. On the same note, the speedup schedule in effect at the Husker meets works In fine style, until the broad jump comes up.

If this could be remedied, Ne braska track fans could be out of the east stadium oval after cheering the Husker performers, and still have a good bit of the evening left. "It's an angry Iowa State Col lege track squad that is working out for its final tuneup before the Big Six meet in Kansas City March 2. The Cyclones, Big Six indoor champions for the past two years, in some cases are down right mad." "Nebraska may win, the Cy clones admit, but they'll have to be doing it at Kansas City, not at Lincoln nor in the newspapers. The silent, almost surly squad refuses to admit the Huskers are good enough to push off the throne they've occupied for the 1944 and 1945 seasons." Those words come from the Iowa State sports service. Ed Weir's boys should be ashamed of themselves for making the Cyclones angry. Alan Ladd, star of Paramount's "The Blue Dahlia," was a sprint er and shot puter at North Hol lywood high school and still holds the 50 yard free style swim record.
