Miller Reveals Retirement
Of Jack Best Trophy
Decision Made to Place Intramural
Competition on Voluntary Basis
"The Jack Best Trophy will be
retired for one year at least." This
ultimatum was stated by Charles
Miller, Director of Intramural
Athletics at the University of Ne
braska. The announcement was made to
a group of intramural managers
representing various organizations
on the campus, Monday night at
the Physical Education Building.
"We want intramural participa
tion to be on a wholly voluntary
basis," added Miller. The depart
ment of intramurals believes too
many students were forced into
participating in certain activities
simply to gain extra points for
his group.
Assisting Miller in outlining the
intramural schedule to the sport
managers were Hollie Lcplcy and
Ed Higgcnbotham, co-nssociate
directors.
One major rule change to go
into effect this year concerns
touch football. In an effort to cut
down the number of injuries suf
fered in football last year, the de
partment has drawn up this rule:
Any man leaving his feet or fall
ing to the ground in an attempt
to block an opponent will draw a
15 yard penalty against his team.
The penalty will be from either
the line of scrimmage or the point
at which the foul was made, de
pending on which distance is the
greatest.
Since all intramural tourna
ments and matches are barred
from the Coliseum this year, a
few sports must be discontinued
until arrangements can be made
concerning time for games and
the places for these games to take
place.
Rifle shooting, ping pong, vol
ley ball, and water basketball are
the sports which will not be
played pending the decision of the
intramural department. Miller
urges the managers of each or
ganization to express their wishes
on these sports to the department.
Schedules for the major sports
goes as follows: touch football will
run from September 26 to No
vember 4 (all football games will
be played on the Ag. campus this
year), basketball season lasts
from December 12 to March 3.
and softball will be played April
17 to May 19.
This year a plan will be car
ried out whereby fraternities will
play on Mondays and Wednes
days and independents will play
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Other sports will be divided
into three seasons. In the Fall golf
tournaments will be held on Sep
tember 26 and November 1. Tee
off time will be from 7:30 to 9:30
a. m. at Pioneer Golf Course. Each
organization may enter as many
men as they like both days. The
four low scorers will be picked
from each group after each match
These low scorers will then be
compiled showing the winners.
Other Fall sports are badmin
ton doubles (unlimited number of
participants), October 3 to No
vember 4, tennis singles and dou
bles. September 26 to November
1, free throw tournament. Oc
tober 10-"to November 10, swim

All freshmen, not already out
for football and who want to
play, are asked to report to the
Field House. Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Those frosh interested in
playing freshmen ball should
report to Freshmen Coach II.
II. "Ike" Hanscom.
Coach Bud Wilkinson's Okla
homa Sooners last year set two
all-time national collegiate rec
ords. .
Jack Mitchell and Darrell Royal
combined to average 22.4 net
yards per each punt runback,
breaking the old record of 22.0
set in 1944 by New York Uni
versity. The Sooners also set a record by
fumbling 35 times, losing the ball
each time. The old mark was 30,
set in 1946 by U.C.L.A,
ATTACK Bill Mueller, senior
halfback from Omaha, scored
one touchdown and had another
called back in Saturday's game
with the freshmen.
Nairlc's Passing
Features Plav
ml
In Scrimmage
Last Saturday's grid game be
tween the 1949 edition of the
Cornhuskers and the freshmen
showed one thing for sure: that
Nebraska has a first-class passer
in the person of Fran Nagle, West
Lynn, Mass., transfer student.
Nagle's passes kept the Frosh in
a hole most of the afternoon.
Completing nine out of 13 at
tempts, be might nave had an
even more dazzling record if his
receivers could have held on to
the ball. Twice his spot passes
were dropped, one that possibly
could have been another varsity
touchdown. As it was, he figured
in five T. D.s.
When he wasn't passing, Nagle
was befuddling the Frosh with
handoffs to his team-mates. The
Freshmen would converge on Nick
Adduci, sophomore fullback, only
to have Bill Mueller tear off con
siderable yardage around the ends,
and then thev would chase the
halfbacks, only to have Adduci
rip through the center of the line.
Mueller and Adduci along with
Don Bloom gained the majdr por
tion of the varsity's yardage.
Mueller and Bloom both showed
some fine broken-field running
and once in the clear, easily out
distanced their opposition. Adduci
also showed speed in rambling 42
yards to a score.
Blocking in the line looked very
ragged with most of the varsity's
line plays gaining very little, but
down-field blocking was in mid
season form and much better than
has been witnessed by Ilusker
fans for some time. Three of the
Cornhuskers' touchdowns were
direct results of terrific down
field blocks.
The biggest hole in the Corn
huskers' defense seemed to still
be on pass defense. The line broke
up quite a few passes before they
were thrown, but only the Frosh's
inability to hold on to the ball
saved the varsity from embar
rassment. Coach Bill Glassford saw his
team's mistakes and you can be
sure they are being ironed out at
this very moment. As a whole,
the varsity machine never ran too
smoothly but showed enough
power to run up a score.
Diamond Drills
Begin Thursday
Baseball Coach Tony Sharpe
issued the call for all upper class
men who are non-letter winners
in baseball to report for fall prac
tice, Tuesday, September 20 at
four p.m.
The meeting will be held in the
locker room on the second floor
of the field house. Mr. Sharpe
urged that all men who are hope
ful of a varsity berth attend, as
this meeting is vtry important.
Big 7 Teams
Break Even
Saturdav
Two Big Seven teams got the
jump on the other league mem
bers Saturday by entertaining
outside foes.
Kansas University dropped a
28-0 decision to Texas Christian
while Iowa State trounced
Dubuque, last seasons Iowa Con
ference champions. 64-0.
All seven conference teams will
be in action next week-end, with
one conference game scheduled
and the other teams meeting non
conference clubs.
Nebraska fans will be watching
Memorial Stadium where the
Cornhuskers tackle South Dakota
in the 1949 opener.
This will be the first regularly
scheduled game for Coach Bill
Glassford's Huskers and the first
chance for Nebraskans to view
their favorites under the new
mentor's guidance.
The Husker varsity ran away
with the freshmen, 40-0, Saturday
before more than 10,000 fans.
South Dakota lost their opener to
Montana State, 33-13.
Kansas meets Colorado at
Boulder in the first conference tilt
of the year. The Jayhawks have
two All-Big Seven backs return
ing in Forrest Griffith, fullback
and Dick Gilman, quarterback.
These veterans make K.U. a rough
test for the Buffaloes, a one man
team in the person of runner and
passer, Harry Narcisian.
Oklahoma's defending cham
pions open the week-end action
when they travel to Boston Col
lege for a Friday night game. The
Sooners are banking on the quar
terbacking of Darrell Royal, triple
threat replacement of Jack Mitch
ell, to carry them to another
league title.
Other Saturday games find Iowa
State trying to improve their dis
astrous record of last year against
Illinois at Champaign, Missouri at
Ohio State, and Kansas State en
tertaining Fort Hays. The
Cyclones and Tigers will be un
derdogs against their Big Ten foes
but the Missouri powerhouse has
hopes of upsetting Ohio State.
Frosh Beanies
No Joke at OU
While freshman beanies are
more of a joke at NU, they're not
everywhere.
iJown Oklahoma way at the
U. of Oklahoma City freshman
caught without their caps are
"offending" the upperclassmen
and treated to a traditional
"freshman ear-lowering" using
varsity athletes as barbers.
Hope
Is Wailing
Altho peppered with offers.
Bob Hope has made it emphatic
that he is going to stay out of
television for at least another
year.
