Wednesday, October 31, 1951 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 The Benchvarmer By BOB BANKS Sports Editor He had his say, and I had mine. In a nutshell that describes the case between Tom Carodlne , and myself durlnr the past two days. His situation at the Univer i sity did need clarification, and through his own cooperation, that clarification was made available. In writing my column Monday in which I said his admission to the University was confusing, I stated the truth, and I have ample proof lor the statements I made. However, that does not mean that Tom's statements are not as true as mine. In fact, I am the very first to accept the validity of his column Tuesday in which he very ably presented his side of the case. The confusion was on the part of persons other than Tom or myself. As far as I am concerned, The Daily Nebraskan and Tom together have brought the situation (to the light, and that closes the matter. The only other point that could bear further discussion is the statement I made to the effect that he should not be given another 0ML jdibJL... Slanderous? While reading an article in The Daily Nebraskan, I was reminded of how immature a college paper can become. I am referring to an article written about Thomas Carodine by one Mr. Bob Banks. I cannot conceive of a supposedly mature college student writing an article of that nature. Perhaps it would be well to inform Mr. Banks that an article written in one of the local newspapers in that manner would result in law suit for slander being brought against the paper. This informa tion would be vital to him in case he would make the mistake of at tempting to embark upon a ca reer in journalism.

I would oppose his being allowed to continue playing foot ball and skipping classes in the manner he had previously prac ticed. However, if he is sincere in his determination to come back in 1952, crack the books and attend classes and I believe he is sincere then I am all for him. V Two letters have appeared on today's sports page concerning Monday's Benchwarmer. One by Charles Bell states that "an article written in one of the local newspapers in that manner would result in a law suit for slander being brought against the paper." Mr. Bell is entitled to his own opinion about the column, but as long as I wrote the truth which is the first defense against libel The Daily Nebraskan is safe. Mr. Bell further seems to believe I had no objective In try ing to find out the true situation. As I have previously said, the situation needed to be clarified for the sake of all concerned. That was my objective, and I certainly consider it a worthwhile one. I would have done the same in any other situation, and I hope I always will, despite Mr. Bell's conviction that I am immature and anxious to investigate people. ' In the other letter, Edward Thomas also writes that he dis agrees with my assertion that Carodine should not be allowed an other chance. Since I have fully qualified my point, there is no need for further discussion. Unless something more comes up, the Tom Carodine story is closed until 1952. In the meantime, to you, Tom, your wife and Thomas Jr., I wish all, the luck in the worldi Sig Alplis Thump DU's, 27-12; Betas, Acacia Also Victorious By DOUGLAS WILCOX Sports Staff Reporter The intramural football season is beginning to tighten as the teams battle for a pos tion in the final playoffs and the all-University trophy.

Gifford to Shainholtz. Joe Gifford and Bill Shainholtz have made the majority of scores for their squad. Yesterday in the playoffs Gif ford threw the first touchdown pass of the playoffs 40 yards to Bill Shainholtz. On the try lor the conversion the attempted point was no good. Gifford again wound up his throwing arm to send a' pass to halfback Johnny Leach, who in turn passed to Gus Lebsock in the end zone for the score. The extra point try was still impossible for the Sig Alphs to make. Quarterback Gifford was still not through making working touchdown combinations as he passed 5 yards into the end zone to Gus Lebsock for a T.D. The first extra point of the playoffs was then made when Gifford threw to John Leach. Sprint man Gifford ran 35yards for a T.D. The conversion attempt was futile. With the game all sewed up the Sig Alphs continued to score as the combination of Gifford to Lebsock accounted for the final tally of the game. The Delta Upsilon squad scored twice in the contest but were un able to make their extra points, Their final tally stood at 12 points Outstanding for the winners were Lebsock and Gifford on of fense and Scoville and Leach on defense. Beta Theta PI beat Sigma Alpha Mu in the last quarter of their playoff tilt by a score of 2 to 0. The game was a very tight one At the end of the third quar ter, Don Searcy ran for 20 yards to the end zone behind some sensational blocks to score for Acacia. The extra point of the Acacia's was no good and at the end of the fourth quarter the game was all tied up, 6 all. ... In the overtime Acacia .made a total of 65 yards. Then TKE took over the ball and on their first play, made 8 yards. Their second play was a pass which was intercepted by Don Searcy, whose run back gained yardage to win the game for his squad. Other than the fine showing of the Acacia blocking, the star of the game was Don Searcy. Because of sickness of the Sigma Nu squad and lack of players at the playing field, they forfeited to Delta Tau Delta. The final score in the game was therefore 1-0 in fa vor of the Delts. Theta Chi, with intercepted passes by Roger Gebhards, won the contest between the Farm House. The final score was 13 to 2. The Farm House score came on a touchback when Dale Link at tempted to punt from the end zone. Unable to punt, Link tried to run the ball out of the end zone but was stopped before he could accomplish his task. Gebhard intercepted a Farm House pass and scampered SO yards to score for his squad. The try for the extra point was no good bo the final score stood at 6 to 2 In favor of the Theta Chi's. The final score of the game came when Gebhard aeain nlaved both good offensive and defensive ball by intercepting a Farm House pass and carrying the ball 20 until the last quarter when Paul snuad. fumhlpd In the end zone y8rdS for a T.D, and recovered it. allowine the! .. 7"e conversion B Gridmen Prepare For Mizzou Game . The Nebraska B team has im proved vastly in its last two games against Scottsbluff JC and Colorado B, according to Coach Ike Hanscom. The Nubbins edged a favored Scottsbluff JC, 32-28, and lost to a more experienced Colorado B, 7-0. "We could have beaten Colo rado B at any time," added men tor Hanscom. "We fumbled on the seven and almost completed a pass on the goal, but the ball was wet and it slipped off the receiv ers fingers." The junior Huskers came from a 13-0 deficit to top Scottsbluff JC, 33-26. Bill Thayer, Dan Brown, Stu Thorell, George Power, and Chuck Chamley were standouts In the Scottsbluff victory. Against Colorado B. Duane Rankin, Pat Lee, George Mink, Bill McGulre, George Ghode, and Jim Levendusky played credit ably.. Brown, quarterback, and Bill Holloran, tackle, who were called up to the varsity after the Scottsbluff game were missed in the Colorado struggle. The loss of Brown before the Colorado B gam caused the back field to sputter and fail to coordi nate at times. As a result, the Nubbin mentor has been working on backfield organization. In preparation for a return tilt with Missouri B; Hanscom is working his charges on ball han dling, fundamentals, pass protec tion and passing patterns.

The oustanding members of the game were Roger Gebhard and John Futcher of the winners and Rollie Reynolds of the Farm House. Cyclones To Jnvade Boulder Saturday (Special To The Daily Nebraskan) Iowa State and Colorado today settled down to the practice grind that will wind up in the Nov. 3 battle between the two for second place in the 1951 Big Seven foot ball race. This week end, in1 addition to the Cyclone-Buffalo battle, Ne braska plays host to Kansas and Oklahoma invades Kansas State. Iowa State came through the 13-0 win over Drake with only minor injuries. Bob Voetberg, who held down the right end lob until an injury sidelined him two games ago, may be back in action leaving only Ron Swanson on the hospital list. Swanson, recov ering from yellow jaundice, may report for action late this week but Is not expected to play against Colorado. The game at Boulder Saturday will be Homecoming for Colorado but Iowa State will also have a big post-game meeting of alumni. Some 250 former Iowa Staters will meet in the Century room of Hotel Cosmopolitan in Denver after the game. The Cyclones will leave Ames Thursday at 5:55 p.m. and will arrive in Boulder about 10:30 a.m. Friday. Headquarters will be the Hotel Boulderado. A light workout on Folsom field is planned for Friday afternoon. names of other students with the abscence of objectivity. Suppose we give him activity points for every student s name he slanders. Please ask Mr. Banks if he would want another chance if he were in Thomas Carodine's place. It would be highly ethical, if Mr. Banks can understand the mean ing of this word, to explain the purpose of this article. Certainly all journalistic writing has a purpose. Yours truly, CHARLES BELL. (Editor'' Holt! Evidently the author means libel rather than ilander. If he cares to sue. The Nebraskan has no objections.) Another Chance? I do not agree with you when you say that Tom Carodine should Lnot be given another chance to play football in 1952. I admit that from all appear ances it seems that Tom just does not have the requirement emo tionally or mentally to carry the load placed on his shoulders by his previous successes. However, I believe that if he is man enough to remain in school, attend classes, and maintain an average acceptable to the Uni versity after being such a let down not only to himself and his teammates, but to his race and many, many friends the blow he's received this year will have done him good, and, if given one more chance he will prove him self to be a real man with cour age.

By ARLEY BONDARIN , Sports Staff Reporter The return of several key in jured players to full time duty brightened hopes in the Nebraska camp as the Cornhuskers dug their cleats into the practice turf in preparattion for next Satur day's Homecoming game with the Kansas Jayhawkers. Apparently fully recovered from their injuries and ready to go are Jerry Minnick, Tony Winey, Den nis Emmanuel, George Paynich, Bill Giles, and Ted James. Minnick, prominent cog in the Husker defense, is return ing after suffering a slight con- J cussion in the Minnesota con- test and should plug up some of the leaks which have ham pered the Scarlet and Cream in reecnt weeks. Same Old Tale; Sooners Lead It's been four years and it looks like there will be no change this year. That just about summarizes the Big Seven lootDau uue race at the half-way point in tne sea son. The Oklahoma Sooners, who have monopolized on the confer' ence crown the past four years are riding high, wide and hand somely in first place with two wins and no losses. - The Sooners' two victories came from the top contenders for this years crown, uoioraao and ii.an sas. The Oklahoma victory over the Buffs was especially impressive. The Colorado Buffaloes still hold the runner-up spot behind the Sooners with three wins and one class. Coach Dallas Ward's eleven dropped Missouri, Iowa State and Kansas, while they lost to Oklahoma. Iowa State's surprising Cy clones are enjoying a very suc cessful season in and outside of the conference. The Cyclones have two wins against one loss. Kansas is in fourth place with two wins and two losses. This is rather a surprise to the experts who tabbed the Jayhawks as a dark horse in the league race this fall. Don Faurot's Missouri Tigers rate the fifth place position with a single win, Nebraska and two" losses. The Tigers were selected for second division since early this spring. The Nebraska Cornhuskers con tinue their chronic losing streak and are in sixth place with one loss and one tie. The Cornhuskers are suffering with lack of experi ence problem. Kansas State is in the bottom rung of the ladder with no wins, three losses, oi tie and little re lief in sight. The Wildcats do possess several of the leagues top periormers this gridiron term.

Winey suffered a foot injury in the Kansas State tilt and has been sidelined since then. His recovery will give an added boost to the Husker offense at the guard posi tion. One of Coach Bill Glassford's many headaches lately has been the Injury jinx which has focused Us attention on the Husker ends, both offensive and defensive. However, some relief should be provided this weekend as four wingmen return to duty. , George Paynich saw some ac tion last week against the Mis souri Tigers and should be ready to go at top speed against the Jayhawkers. Bill Giles. promising sophomore, made the trip to Columbia but saw no action, In order to reduce the possibility of further aggravat ing a muscle injury. Sophomore Dennis Emmanuel has been sidelined for three weeks since his injury in the Penn State game. Emmanuel would have been ready for Missouri, but he suffered a neck injury in prac tice. Considered one of the best tacklers among the defensive ends, tne speedy Emmanuel has tenta tively won a first string berth on tne aeiensive piatoon. Also re turning is defensive end, Ted James, who was hurt in the Min nesota game. As the Huskers began their heavy work in an attempt to find the right combination for a victory, Coach Glassford an nounced the tentative lineups for the offensive and defensive platoons. Offensively, the Cornhuskers will line up with Frank Simon and Dick Regier. ends, Wayne Hand- shy and George Prochaska, tackles, Clayton Curtiss and Joe Ponseigo, guards, and Yen Scott at center The backfield will consist of Don' Norrls, quarterback, Bob Reyn olds, left halfback, John Bor dogna, right halfback, and Ray Novak, fullback. Backing up this offensive align ment are Paynich and Giles, ends, Jim Oliver and Harvey Goth, tackles, Cliff Dale and Winey, guards, and Ken Schroeder, cen ter. In the backfield are Bor- dogna, doubling at quarterback, freshman Jim Cederdahl, right half back, Bob Smith, left half back, and George Cifra, fullback. The starting defensive platoon has Bill Schabacker and Em manuel, ends, Minnick and Ed Hussman, tackles, Don Boll and Carl Brasse, guards, Cliff Hopp and Bob Mullen, linebackers, Jim Yeisley and Smith, half backs, and Reynolds at safety. The second defensive lineup in eludes: James and Jerry Yeager or Dick Goll at ends. Bill Hoi leran and Ted Conner, tackles, Jim Jones and Ken Oberlin, guards, Schroeder and Scott, linebackers, Jim Levendusky and Bordogna, halfbacks, and Bobby Decker, safety. Tuesday the Cornhuskers be gan the heavy practice work the emphasis was again Huskers to jump offside. Off sides plagued the Nebrsikam all afternoon at Columbia and were a contributing factor to the Missouri triumph. Coach Glassford announced that he will have two scouts on the road this Saturday charting future Husker opponents. "B" team men tor Ike Hanscom will scout the Iowa State Cyclones as they play Colorado's Buffs at Ames.

After all, so many sophomore players will have to miss it. A real attempt was made to televise the affair, but it came under the heading of a sporting contest and was over ruled. It will be a clean fight, a close fight. May the best team win and the other go down struggling. By Staff Writer Come Saturday, the freshmen will experience the closest thing to a revolution that they will ever know. It's the annual tug-of-war to determine whether the freshmen continue wearing their beanies. This is theoretical of course; it seems the freshmen this year have found it beneath their dig nity to wear the red beanies that denote their class. Delegates from each organized AM Cm?m house will be sent to tug atlflCSfC OBFIIOTS their respective end of the rope during the half-time proceeding ye olde Homecoming game. Can't you just see it now? Amid the queens and bands that will be parading around will come rush ing tino the crowd (with a rope) dozens of little freshmen to pro tect their honor. Following them will be the big, brave sophomores with the red flag. The flag is for the rope so that everyone, even the students way down in the zero yard line will know who is win ning. Then the contest. The fresh men will line up on one end, dlirected by the Innocents. The sophomores will line np at the ther end. Anyway this is the usual procedure and Nebraska is a great one for tradition. At the sound of the gun, the contest will begin. Then thou sands of Nebraskans will witness the heart - rendering, gruelling strugle between the classes to see just who can move the red flag towards their end. The queen will be watching; the Chancellor will be watching; the Innocents will be watching; and maybe even some of the students In the zero yard line will be watching. Who will win? The suspense is terrible, isn't it? Bookmakers all over the country are quot ing new odds as the names of the contestants come in. It's go ing to be an exciting contest to watch.
