that the competitors will really
give the race a try, as he is hop

and middle distance runners
among he early finishers. Last

top fall two-milers.

Sig Eps dumped ZBT 13-0 in
their playoff tilt Wednesday night,
and the DUs nosed out the Sig
Alphs in an overtime period which
was caused by a 6-6 deadlock
in a game played Tuesday night.

offensive standouts for the Sig
Eps, Tobiska scoring one touch
down on a run, and Towley passed
for another and the following
extra point.
In the overtime game, the Sig

tthe DU's intercepted and took

Sig Alphs were penalized 3 yards,
and then Skog took a pass for
three for the game.

Coach Good will run his var
sity cagers through various fun
damental drills to be used in
practice sessions. The clinic is
designed to promote interest in
basketball, which is just around
the corner. Many high schools are
expected to start prac?e in about
two weeks.

VA Announces
Vet Deadlines
The Veteran's Administration
officials pointed out two important
deadline dates on the G.I. Bill
benefits, Wednesday. These dead
lines concern entering and com
pleting education.
Training or education must be
started within four years after
discharge or by July 25, 1951.
whichever is later. Education must
be completed not later than July
25, 1956, except veterans who en
listed or reenlisted before Oct. 6,
1946. These men figure deadlines
on G.I. Bill benefits from date of
their discharges.
The VA also urged veterans in
training to place their full name,
address, and claim number of all
papers submitted if they want
quick and accurate servicing of
their accounts.
Politically Minded?
With elections nearing, the con
versation of older students centers
around "How are you going to
vote?" Two years ago, however,
there was even more talk of an
election. It really seemed as if
college people were genuinely in
terested in the affairs of city, state
and country. The controversy
whether liquor should be served
by the drink in Lincoln or not.
BY HAROLD flBRAMSON
Ramblings
It won't be through any fault
of Potsy Clark's it his charges are
not alert on pass defense. The
Husker coach has been pounding
on the theory that some kind of
pass defense is better than none
at all.
Potsy gave the scout squad some
UCLA plays and had the blue uni
formed boys filling the air with
passes in Wednesday's practice.
We thought Potsy's shift of Phil
Young up to the first string was
a good move. Young seems to have
found himself after dragging
around the firs.t part of the sea
son. Spirit has never seemed so high
as the game with the UCLAN's ap
proaches. The squad looks like it
is really primed for this game even
though they may be without the
services of Bruising Tom Novak
and Cletus Fischer.
If the stadium gridiron looks
a little too green for this time of
the year you're not really seefng
things. The grounds keeper has
been going over it like a blond
hairdresser with peroxide. Only
he's painting the stuff green.
We liked the way Jim Myers
was running in practice the other
day. The York back was picking
his holes and drivfng right
through for plenty of yardage.

Small Beginnings . .
It was only two years ago when
two organizations now prominent
in campus activities came to Ne
braska. The Pershing Riflemen
reactivated their sociely here on
Nov. 6, 194G just in time to give
their crack rifle review at the
46 Military Ball. Alpha Epsilon
i,.io, radio honorary, received their
charter at Nebraska on Nov. 7 of
that year. Miss Betty Girling, na
tional vice president of the or
ganieation, was installing officer.

Coach Potsy Clark continued
to stress pass defense in a
lengthy practice session Wednes
day afternoon.
There can be no doubt that the
Husker mentor is using every
possible means to bolster the
leaky aerial defense.
A big jolt to Nebraska hopes
was a nose injury received by
Del Wlegand in Tuesday's prac
tice. Wiegand's nose was broken.
He was in St. Elizabeth's hospital
Wednesday night where his con-

Says Frosh
Look Good
"If the men out for freshman
football continue to show interest,
and at the same time keep up
their scholastic requirements, we
should be able to place enough
of them on the varsity next year
to provide the depth needed."
These were the words of Fresh
man Coach L. F. "Pop" Klein as
he explained the present first-year
program at Nebraska.
"We're trying to build prospec
tive material for the varsity. All
the boys are getting the same
training, and there is not any first
team. For instance, we used 42
men at Iowa State last week."
Klein had praise for some of the
boys who have shown improve
ment since the first of the season.
He named Frank Simon, Cecil
Voils, ends; Bob Mockett, Ted
Britt, tackles; Don Burson, Fred
Blackett, guards; Dick Regier,
Rich Reese, centers.
In the backfield the frosh men
tor named Rich Yost, Ron Clark,
Loren Liggett, Tom Hopkins, Har
old Summers, Joe Ponseigo, Frank
Wooters, John McCurdy, Nick
Adducci, Bob Diers, Dick Gifford,
John MurpHy, Mark Martin and
Bill Darnell as standouts. . . .
"In comparison to last year,"
Klein continued, "we started this
season with 198 boys and still have
165 left. Last season, we had 78
bovs reporting and they stayed
on" to the last."
"This year's freshman squad
seems to have plenly of spirit and
enthusiasm along with a lot of
prospective ability."
Coach Klein wanted, however,
to clear up any misconceptions as
to a "first string freshman squad."
He said that all the boys were
working hard and t'-.at each would
be given plenty of time to show
his abilities.

dition was described as very good.
Five other Husker hopefuls
were sidelined with injuries. Dar
win Salestrom was working out
without pads as was Art Bauer,
who bruised a hip, and Don Sail
ors who was being bothered by
a troublesome right leg.
Tom Novak and Cletus Fischer
continued to take it easy as they
watched from the sidelines.
Clark reshuffled his first string
backfield moving Junior Collopy
into the blocking back porition in
place of the injured Wiegand.
Jerry Ferguson, Bill Mueller and
Phil Young were his running
mates.
Ray Magsamen was shifted to
first string end. Ralph Damkroger
was at the other end while Char
lie Toogood and Jim Godfrey
played tackle. Hawkins and
Means were at guard with Bobby
Costello at center.
On the second eleven were
Howard Fletcher and Bob
Schneider, ends; Fred Golan and
Herb Reese, tackles; Jim Hark
rader and Mike DiBiase, guards;
Bob Mullen, center; Don Stras
heim, Kenny Fischer, Dick Hut
ton and Gerry Moore, backs.
Replacements Jack Hazen,
Johnny Sedlacek, Walt Spellman,
