NU Gridders To Try
Spring rid Opening
Coach Bernie Masterson will
try again in' his efforts to ' get
spring football drills underway
for Husker" gridders. Poor weather
end the flu epidemic conspired to
delay the original opening date
one week.
New additions to the Nebraska
coaching staff, Line Coach Tony
Blazine and Backfield Coach
Dougal Russell, will be anxious
to get a look at the Scarlet pros
pects in action.
One of the problems that will
face Bernie Masterson and bis
staff will be to find a replace
ment for Quarterback Sam Va
cant!. Sam has decided to play pro
fessional football altho he has not
yet signed a contract. He needs
but eight hours to graduate and
will enroll for these in summer
school.
Another problem that confronts
the staff is to outfit and direct
the efforts of all the players who
want to report.
There are 150 lockers available.
These have been assigned and
gear placed in them by Equip
ment Manager Floyd Bottorff.-An
overflow list of half a hundred
more are hoping for a chance to
obtain equipment.
Equipment Problem.
"Just how we can take care of
all the young men who want to
play has us stopped," Coach Mas
terson said. "We want to issue a
suit to every boy who has the de
sire to play football. But there is
a saturation point in both lockers
and equipment.
"As a result our staff is
haunted by the fear that we
may overlook some potential
star. It would have to be some
fellow who had never played
before because we have
screened the list closely. But
there are some of these lads on
every campus," Coach Master
son said.
The list of players by position
shows but one change in the vet
erans returning. Francis Mandula
has been switched from an end
position to guard. Those who have
been assigned lockers:

WaterPolo
League Set
For Action
Teams participating In water
polo leagues are set to start ac
tion Monday, March T. Lou
Means, director of student phys
ical welfare, has mapped out a
schedule that will terminate April
21. The teams are divided into
three leagues, with each team
playing a minimum of five games.
At the conclusion of the reg
ular schedule, the winners of the
first two positions of each league
will enter the playoff that will
determine the six top positions.
Monday's Schedule:
5:10 Alpha Tau Omega vs. Delta
Upsilon.
5:18 Phi Kappa Psi vs. Theta.
5:25 Phi Kappa Psi vs. Theta X.
Sigma.
Water Polo is counted as a ma
jor sport in the Jack Best stand
ings this year. It has long been
regarded as one of the rougher
sports on the intramural calen
dar, and for that reason should
prove interesting throughout the
season. Games" will be played to
five minute halves. Due to the
ruggedness of the game, the
halves will be staggered thus al
lowing the teams to have a rest
period between periods.
All games will be played be
tween 5 and 6 p. m.
Phi Gamma Delta Basketeers
To Play Hufnagle Field Crew
By Lee Harris.
Monday afternoon at 5:00 in the
coliseum, the Hufnagle Field five
will meet Phi Gamma Delta in
a contest to decide the overall
champion of the intramural bas
ketball teams.
Hufnagle wound up its season
by polishing off the V-5 quintet
in the finals of the independent
playoff. Before this, Hufnagle had
hung up an impressive record of
eight wins in regular season play.
Fischers Lead.
With the exception of the first
three minutes in their final con
test with the V-5's, the Hufnagle
boys were never on the short end
of the score. Led by the Fischer
brothers. Kenny and Cletus. this
independent team played the kind
of ball all year that tabbed them
as true champions. They play a
slow style game, usually making
the opposition' play the way they
want them to play.
Turning to the fraternity cham
pions, the Phi Gams looked
equally good during the season
play. The- only blemish on their
record is a regular season loss to
a strong Delta Upsilon five. Phi
Gamma Delta finished second in
regular league play, but managed
to hang on when it counted most
to come through with the frater
nity championship for the second
straight year.
Led by Capt. Jim Myers, the
Phi Gams looked rood in both
their playoff games as they turned
in a one-point win over a power
ful Beta Theta Pi team, and a
three-point victory over the pre
tourney favorites, Sigma Chi. In
both these games, the Fijis got
the breaks when they needed
them, and in both games they took
full advantage of them.
The game will finish off the in
tramural season in basketball, and
should prove to be the best game
of the year. The teams look well
balanced in all departments with
the Hufnagle boys having a slight
edge in records.
