Crarcn to Enler
Indoor Nationals
Ed Craren, sophomore Husker
diver, will go to Norman, Okla
homa, this weekend to compete
in the National Junior Indoor 3
meter Diving championships.
Craren won the Big Seven high
board diving championship last
weekend. His record is full of
titles as he was state diving cham
pion in 1946, Midwest outdoor
AAU diving champion in 1947 and
Midwest indoor champ in 1948.
The Norman meet is the last
competition for the Husker swim
ming team. Their record for the
season was four wins and three
losses. They placed third in the
conference behind Iowa State and
Oklahoma.
Rain and sleet failed to slow
William "Biff" Glassfoid's spring
footballers in their drills Tues
day afternoon.
Around 60 grid candidates
braved the frigid weather as
Coach Glassford held his second
spring practice session.
The squad went through a
brisk workout which included
limbering up exercises, blocking
and tackling fundamentals, and
running. This will be the order
of the day for the next few weeks,
according to Coach Glassford.
Thr linemen were hard at work
developing form and drive on the
dummies and sleds, with the
backs concentrating on starting
out of 1heir positions and sprints.
Coach Glassford asked that all
men w ishing to pl;iy football this
spring and next fall that were not
included on the candidate list see
him in his office as soon as pos
sible. He hopes to work in some
of those not invited out in this
first six week period.

1 4 Teams Fight
For Jack Best
IM Supremacy
With seven events left on the
Jack Best docket, the Interfra
ternity supremacy race is turning
into a four-way race for top
honors. Alpha Tau Omega, Phi
Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon lead the field
by almost 200 points.
The Beta's held the lead all
year until the basketball tourneys
and then dropped to third behind
the ATOs and the Phi Delts. With
all points added through the bas
ketball season, the ATOs lead with
1272,2 points, closely followed by
the Phi Delts with 1265 markers.
The Betas have 1190 points and
fourth place Sigma Alpha Epsilon
has 1115 points. The DUs and the
Phi Gams are tied for fifth place
with 937' points.
The seven remaining events on
the schedule are Rifle Shooting,
Outdoor Track, Softball, Water
basketball, Badminton, Golf and
Tennis doubles. Among the four
top teams, the ATOs appear on
paper to be ahead in Softball and
waterbasketball. The Phi Delts
look to be the strongest in the
badminton and tennis events,
while the rifle shooting favors
the Betas. In track and golf the
ATOs and Phi Delts appear to
be equally strong.
As is usual in the Jack Best
race, the winner will probably
be decided in the softball competition.
as the correct method of making
introductions, tips for traveling
and other points of etiquette.
Margaret Boydston and Joyce
Dudek will be in charge of the
meeting.
