OpenPractice
This Week
. Coach Harry Good's cagers
opened practice this week on the
Coliseum courts.
Eight lettermen have returned
and with" a fine group of sopho
mores from last year's freshman
squad they should give the team
much needed depth. The most
serious loss will be Neal Mosser,
a fine floorman, by graduation.
Big Seven Conference coaches
have tabbed Oklahoma as the
team to beat for the title this
season. On paper, the Sooners
are the most well-rounded team
in the Conference. Kansas State,
who will be out to defend the
crown which they won last year,
has lost few key men and must
depend on untried replacements.
Missouri will come up with
a team equal to or above last
years, and should also be a seri
ous contender. League darkhorse
will be the perennially tough
Kansas Jayhawks. They have lost
the sensational Otto Schnellbacher
by graduation, and Jack Eskridge
by the new cligility rule, but
they still have crafty Phog Allen
at the helm, so Big Seven op
ponents had better watch their
step.
Last call for frosh cagers is
Friday. Daily practice sessions
will begin Monday, Coach Good
announced.
The freshman sessions this year
will be divided into two groups
to handle those with late classes.
The first session will start at 3
o'clock, and will be. out at 4:20.
The second session "is to be from
4:20 to 5:30. Both groups will
be handled by frosh coach, Tony
Sharpe,
Sport- ifeXz,
Coed Capers
There will be a mooting of the
swimming club Thursday, Oct. 21,
at 7 p. m. at the Coliseum.
Intramural representatives ore
reminded that their meetings
come on the second and fourth
Thursday of each month.

In Die Seven This Year
to Be Tough
The Big Seven swim Confer
ence will see a lot of the Husker
tank team this season, says Coach
Hollie Lcpley.
The coach published a list of
returning lettermen and fresh
man numeral-winners from last
year's second-place Conference
squad.
Marvin Grimm, 50 and 100-yd.
freestyle Conference champ heads
the list of returning men, with
Gould Flagg, who placed second
in diving also represented.
Fred Swihart, who swims the
220 and 440-yd. freestyle: Bill
Fenton, 150-yd. backstroker; Con
rad King, 220-yd. breast-stroker:
Jack Campbell, 150-yd. back
stroker, and Perry Branch, swim
ming the sprints; will be among
Our sophomore backs, Don Bloom
and Kirk Lee, did well. It's a
bit rough to drop a sophomore in
for his first varsity game against
a team like Notre Dame. Frank
Collopy was a standout, both of
fensively and defensively. His
punts were excellent considering
tthe 20 mile wind. Chick Story
also punted well. I believe Chick
is now fully recovered from his
early scrimmage hurts and should
help us the rest of Ihe way. Art
Bauer was in the thick of it."
"There is a new day coming.
And it will require new blood to
bring the dawn of that day. We
came out of the game in good
physical condition. Gerald Fer
guson's bloody nose was the extent
of it. It's Kansas this week. We
started our victory string against
the Jayhawks in 1945. We hope
history will start repeating for
us."
those comprising the nucleus ot
the squad.
Numeral winners that will hold
places 611 this year's team are:
Ed Craren, diving; Bill Greer and
Bob Phelps, swimming the breast
stroke; Tom Harley and Ted
Kanamine, in the freestyle shorts.
George Hill is a freestyle distance
man, while George Boomer will
swim backstroke.
Last year's squad, who won five
of nine meets, will feel the loss
of Bruce Allen, in the sprints,
Dean Porter in the distance
swims and Dick Bell, who place
third in diving in the tank loop.
To fill in these vacancies, Coach
Lepley encourages all eligible
swimmers, including freshmen, to
compete in the Intramural swim
ming tournament to be held No
vember 8, through 12. Additional
team members will be selected
from those giving good perform
ances. "Keener competition between
squad members makes for keener
competition against opposition,"
said Mentor Lepley.
The season practice for the team
begins November 8, with Marv
Grimm in charge of workouts.
The season's opener will be
away from home against Kansas
University, January 8, and the
first home meet will be Iowa
State, here, February 4.
