city crew gained rights to ten
players as the play-for-pay
league moved to save the Stags
from withdrawing due to finan
cial trouble. The Stags had been
a "barn-burner" during the for
mation of the league.
Larry Faust, 6 foot 9 inch
center from LaSalle university,
was also taken by the Stags.

Track Coach Ed Weir turns his sights to the Drake
Relays to be held at Des Moines, Friday and Saturday.
Spotlighting the Husker contingent will be Che shuttle
hurdle relay team. Weir figures that this team will have
the best chance in bringing home the first place trophy.
Leading me nsi oi me crop
Is Bob Berkshire.- At the Kan
sas Relays, Berkshire skimmed
through the 120 yard highs in
:14.6 for the best time of his
career. He was barely nipped
at the tape by Big Ten conference
champ Russ Merkel of Iowa,
Merkel was timed :14.5.
Weir will have to run off an
elimination match this week to
pick the four that will run in
the relay Between Ray Magsa
men, Wendy Cole, Bruce Engle
and Don Bedker, there is not
much difference.
' Best Crop
The five above named hurd
lers are, perhaps, the best crop
'ever raised at Nebraska.
The Husker sprint medley team
will have a chance to redeem
itself at Des Moines. At Law
rence, they won their section,
but finished third in the time
comparisons. Loyal Hurlbert,
running the quarter-mile leg, was
left in his blocks when he could
not hear the starter's pistol on
the staggered start.
Harold Kopf, Harry Meginnis
and Bill Baker are the other
members of the sprint crew.
Baker and Meginnis will run
the 220 legs and JCopf the 880.
Giving Hurlbert a good start and
some good exchanges, the team
might come up with some start
ing efiects.
In the distance medley, the
team will be composed of either
Wendy Cole or Leonard Kehl in
the quarter, Hurlbert in the half,
Kopf in the three-quarters and
Lee Moore in the mile.
Meginnis In 100
Meginnis will also be entered
in the open 100 yard dash. Don
Cooper and Kehl will carry the
s'.arlet and cream colors in the
pole vault.
Cooper will have the same
competition as he had in the
Kansas Relays where he placed
f-fcond with a 13-8 performance.
Oklahoman Bill Carroll will be
6 Her his second consecutive pole
vault title. He won the Kansas
Relays top individual competi
tors honors with a record break
ing 14-5 vault.
His vault erased the record
held by Beef us Bryan for 11
J'e;.rs.
Kehl, if right, could snatch
the crown from both Cooper and
Carroll. The ScoUbluff ace has
still to hit his pace. Last year
he won the conference indoor
crown.
All-conference football tackle.
Charley Toogood and Wayne
Fees will compete in the discus
throw for the Huskers. Sees had
a throw of 150 feet at Kansas
but the throw was . disqualified
because it fell out of the arc
when a guest of wind caught it.
Kansas Relay decathlon cham
pion Jim McConnell may not
compete at Drake. , If he does,
Weir will use him in the shot
ard javelin in the open compe
tition. McConnell Doubtful
McConnell won his second
straight decathlon crown at Law
rence, having to come from be
hind and take four of the last
live events.
Altogether, six Huskers will be
competing in 12 events. Weir
has been forced to double up
these six contestants. They are
Meginnis, Magsa men, KehL Kopf,
Hurlbert and McConnell.
Only one Big Seven team will
not compete at the Drake relays.
All members of the Big Ten
except for the new member
Michigan State will be repre-
Rented at the Des Moines event
Last year the Spartans made a
very good impression and walked
off with many- honors.
The Spartans were forced not
to enter because they bad a cross
sectional meet against Southern
California and Yale at Los
Angles.
The ace combination of Bill
Mack and Jack Dianetti in the
distance runs and relays will not
be present The stroke of good
luck for the Huskers made their
chances brighter for an upset
victory in the sprint and distance
relays.
Last year, Michigan State won
the hurdle schuttle relay, with
Illinois and Wisconsin just ahead
of Nebraska. With the Spartans
out of the way, the road la wide
open to Coach Weir and his
hurdlers.
Iowa might pull surprise
with their Big Ten champion
Merkel showing the way. Illinois
and Wisconsin were both bit are
oy graduation.
A near record number of
chools and participant art ex
pected at the gala event. Accord
ing to official releases from Des
Moines, the number is expected
to fall short of the alltime record
set in 1939, but the field will
probably be the largest since
then.

Dempsey
Warns of T-V
Dangers
Canadian sports . promoters
were warned Tuesday to "keep
clear of television"- by Jack
Dempsey.
Making an address before a
dinner meeting of Montreal
Sportsmen, Dempsey told Canad
ian promoters "not to make the
same mistake that is being made
in the United States."
He stated further that in the
United States "many money
grabbing stadium '6wners are
selling out their shows to televi
sion and sport is gradually being
taken away from ;the original
promoters." . , '
Patterson Cuts Frosli Squad;
Varsity Downs 'Greenies,' 7-1
BY IRA EPSTEIN.
(Staff Sports Writer)
The Freshman baseball team
got their first taste of competi
tion Tuesday as they tried their
wares against the Varsity nine.
The Varsity silenced the Year
lings. 7-1, but Freshman Coach
Patterson cited that his boys
played better ball than the score
indicated.
The freshmen looked ragged in
places, but considering the fact
that they hadn't been outside too
long, their performance was as
good as can be expected.
Leach Looks Good
Looking exceptionally bright in
the infield was John Leach who
held down third base. Leach was
the only boy who played the
entire game. Other boys in the
starting line-up were Reid Lowes,
shortstop; Jack Shull, catcher;
Howard Herbst, first base; Fred
Cadys, leftfield; Bobby Reynolds,
second base; Clyde Snook, right
field; Cliff Hopp, centerfield, and
Dick McCormick at pitcher.
Yesterday, Pattepon cut his
squad down to 43 men, including
14 pitchers, 7 catchers, 12 out
fields, and 10 infielders. Because
of a limit on space Patterson
announced that he can't keep
every man out for the squad,
but they are all invited out again
for fall practice. He expects to
make another cut in the near
future.
Boys vieing for pitching chores
are Mel Bremer, Bob Brum, Dale
Bunsen, Win Cadys, Charles Goll,
Earl Hatches, Everett Kimball
and Bud Lade.
Others are Dean Lincott, Dick
McCormick, Hank Millen Donald
Richardson, and Clyde Snook.
Behind the plate are Jack
Russell, Jim Justice, Ralph Mar
shall, Buck Osborne, Ron Raitt,
Willard Speck and Jack Shull.
Working in the infield are
Marvin Lawton, John Leach,
Reid Lowes, Jim Ogden, Ronnie
Oknoutka, Bob Reynolds, Clay
ton Curtis, Tom ' Grasshans,
Howard Herbst and Frank Hoff
man. Taking a hand in the outfield
are Fred Cadys, Gerald Dunn,
Bill Echhardt, Bill Garber, Cliff
Hopp, Gus Lebsock and Bob
Lang.
Alpha Tau Omega became the
first Softball team to win three
games Tuesday night as the Taus
ripped Delta Upsilon to the tune
of 15-3. The Vin gave the Taus
sole possesion of fire r.w. i
League I with a perfect record
A-fVV o "orne-runs sparked the
ATO 11 hit attack. Don Coupens
clouted the first homer in the
first inning with one mate aboard
to help the Taus along in their
seven run frame. Ben Munson
contributed the other four-bagger
in the fifth with the bases empty
Dick Bick was the winning
pitcher, allowing the DU's seven
safeties. Dwight Griswold served
as his battery mate. On the
mound for the DU's were Sween
ey and Britt with Peterson
catching.
Phi Delta Win .
The SAE's threatened constan
ly, but didn't have necessary
scoring punch as the Phi Delts
won a hard fought contest by a
2-1 margin.
Paul Blumer was the hero of
the Phi Delts, pitching a one
hit ball game in addition to mov
ing the winning run into scoring
position with one of the two Phi
Delt hits. Both of the winners'
runs scored on infield outs.
Jack Burris of the Sig Alphs,
holding the victors to only two
safeties, held them . in check
most of the game. ,
Sigma Chi kept their record
perfect by taking their second
contest, a 10-4 victory over Phi
Kappa Psi. Brandenburg was on
the mound for the Chi's, holding
the Phi Psi's to five hits while
his mates were collecting seven
off the efforts of Britten.
Betas Repeat
A three run homer by Bob
Kasmarek in the fourth inning
supplied Beta Theta Pi with the
winning markers as the Betas
won iheir second contest, 6-5
over defending champion Alpha
Gamma Rho. Knebel on the
mound for the AGR's held the
Betas to only three hits, but his
mates couldn't match his per
formance in allowing the six
runs. Roth and Weekes were the
two Beta hurlers, giving six hits.
Other scores of the day found
Sigma Alpha Mu losing their
first game of the year, 6-8 to
Brown Palace; Zeta Beta Tau
making it two out of three with
a 9-5 win over Farm House;
Kappa Sigma winning over Phi
Gamma Delta, 9-1; the Delts
hitting Beta Sigma Psi, 10-5; and
the Sig Eps over the Phi Psi's,
9-1.
