Nebraska track team members
came back from the Kansas City
indoor championships determined
to get even with the Missouri
Tigers in the outdoor carnival
slated for the Nebraska track dur
ing May.
Some of the Ilusker's freshman
runners had trouble adjusting
themselves to the broad track, but
the ' blow that hurt the UN
chances was harvey Stroud's fail
ure to finish the 440. A pulled
muscle forced the North Platte
thin man to the sidelines after
the first lap.
With Fritz Ware and Bill
Moomey expected to be back in
shape after muscle injuries which
kept them inactive during most
of the indoor campaign, plus the
addition of Herb Grote, one of
the nation's javelin aces, the
Scarlet outdoor team shapes up
a potent outfit.
It was little Bobby Ginn, the
Madison dynamo, who brought
down the house with his finish-

ing sprints in the mile and half
mile. In the mile run Bobby let
Hal Moore of Kansas set the pace
and then uncorked a terrific fin
ishing kick which left the Jay
hawk miler in the second place
spot. Ginn's mile time of 4:19.7
stamped him as a contender for
national honors this spring.
It was the same story in the
halfmile. Teammate Harold Kopf
set the early pace while Ginn
loped along with the crowd. Then
near the finish Bobby began to
move and zipped past the tiring
Kopf to take his second first place
of the evening.
For this performance Bobby
won both the Bill Lyda and Glenn
Cunningham trophies.
The Husker indoor season is
not over, for some members of
the squad will compete in the
Chicago Relays at Chicago on
March 15.
Don Cooper's pole vault per
formance indicates that he will be
among the best bamboo artists in
the nation when college athletes
get together.
The steadily improving Dick
Piderit should not be overlooked.
If the Lincoln weight expert can
continue his steady improvement
he will be flirting with the fifty
foot mark in a few more weeks.
Piderit won third place in the
loop championships with a heave
of 48 feet 11 inches, his best
toss of the season.
Although Nebraska does not
have the newest member of the
Mid-West conference' on its foot
ball schedule, the Husker base
ball and track teams will test
Colorado force this spring.
With the Buffs now officially
In the conference, it seems logical
to believe that loop officials will
think up another name for the
conference, especially since the
original Midwest Conference has
naturally protested against the In
fringement. The difference between the two
is that the former Big Six Is now
the Mid-West, including a hyphen
to distinguish it from the other
conference which includes schools
in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and
Minnesota.
Nubbins End
Cage Season
At Norfolk JC
Coach Tony Sharpe's Nubbins
will close their season Tuesday
night against Norfolk Junior Col
lege at Norfolk.
The Husker B cagers will be
attempting to get back into the
win column after dropping their
second game of the season Satur
day to Western Union College at
LeMars, la., by a 54 to 44 count.
In an earlier meeting of the two
teams, the Nubbins took the long
end of a 65 to 52 count. Their
only other defeat of the season
was suffered at the hands of the
Kansas State B quintet, 43 to 32.
The Nebraska B team has com
piled a record of 12 wins against
two losses.
Wright High Scorer.
Norfolk was the first victim of
Sharpe's cagers as they downed
that crew, 38 to 17, in the open
ing game of the season. Since
that opener, the Nubbins lineup
has been revised several times.
Thurman Wright, a Richmond,
Ind., boy, has been the sharp
shooting forward for the Husker
B quintet. Guard Bill Denker has
contributed a sizeable amount to
the point total also. Doyle Bus
kohl, Norfolk's representative on
the Nebraska squad, has done a
commendable job at the other
guard post. Coach Sharpe has two
men, Tom Milhken and Bob Al
leji, capable of handling the cen
ter position.
. Norfolk Ace,
Montgomery has been the big
gun for the Norfolk Junior Col
lege cagers throughout the sea
son. His scoring has been a vital
contribution to that quintet's of
fensive average. The Norfolk
game will close University of Ne
braska basketball for the 1946-47
season.
Brand Top Scorer
AMES, la. Capt. Glen Brand
was handed his first collegiate
dual meet defeat at Nebraska
Monday but the burly 175-pound-er
still leads the Iowa State wres
tlers in scoring. He has counted
29 points in winning seven of
eight matches this year.

Intramural Basketball
Playoffs Open Today
BY LEE HARRIS.
Last week's heavy schedule of
games all but finished up the
season for most of the teams in
the IM basketball loops. Remain
ing on the schedule are games
between a pair of Independent
teams and two teams of the B
leagues. In the A competition, all
teams have completed their reg
ular league play and the winners
from each league plus the runner
up team from each league will
participate in the series of play
offs that are to start March 4.
Contrary to advance reports, all
teams in the tourney will have a
chance for first place honors in
stead of just the frist place teams.
The schedule of the playoffs has
pitted a first place team against
a second place team from an
other league. Thus those teams
that dropped a game in regular
play will not be at a disadvantage
and will have ample opportunity
to show whether or not they are
on a par with the leaders of the
respective leagues.
Only Independent Champs.
Similar playoffs will be held
for B team leagues and the In
dependents. However, the Inde
pendent playoff will concern only
the top team from each of the
four leagues.
Sigma Chi will open the play
off in the A section against Farm
House, a second place team com
ing from League II, Tuesday night.
The Sigma Chi five finished a
fine season that was highlighted
by a 60-30 win over Wesleyan's
B team. They totaled six wins
while remaining undefeated.
Also playing Tuesday evening
will be the powerful Phi Delta
Theta quintet. King of League II,
the Phi Delts are to tangle with
Beta Theta Pi. The League II
leaders are undefeated while the
Betas lost only to Sigma Chi early
in the season.
The Independents initiate their
playoff later that night when V
5's play the winner of the Smutny
Pitliks-Blue Jay game. These two
teams are currently knotted for
first place in League II of the
Independents.
The other Independent game
finds Hurnagle field matched
against the Whiz Kids. Both teams
have played steady ball thruout
the year, having finished unde
feated, and this game which is
to be played on the Varsity Court
at 8:00 Tuesday, should be close
all the way.
Lone B Tilt.
The only B team game sched
uled is the tilt between Sigma
Chi and Phi Delta Theta. This
will be another 8:00 game and is
scheduled for the Frosh court.
