Jim McConnell, former Corn
husker track man, became the
first full-time track and field as
sistant coach in KU history when
he joined the University of Kansas
staff two years ago.
While in school at Nebraska,
McConnell was twice winner of
the Kansas Relays decathlon.
He had a sparkling total of 7,120
points in 1950.
The three-year track letterman
from Huskerland is described as
one of the finest all-around track
athletes in Nebraska history.
Primarily in chaw of field
men, Jim produced his first Big
Seven champion this year in

vault champion who scaled

indoor carnival at Kansas City.
McConnell was graduated from
Central City, Neb. high school in
1944 where he earned three letters
in football and four in track. Dur
ing his senior year in high school,
McConnell won a strong second

Iranians, Phi Psi's
To Meet In Finals
By BILL MUNDELL

Quarterfinals
"Who will stop the Iranians?"
became the cry as the intramural
volleyball championship playoffs
advanced to the semi-finals Fri
day night. The unbeaten men
from Iran were one of four teams
that remained in the volleyball
struggle entering the last two days
of play.
In advancing to the semis,
the Iranians had to hurdle one
of the toughest and surely the
most surprising team in the
playoffs, Sigma Chi. The Sigs
had made upsets their business
in the first two rounds as they
shattered the DU's and the Be
tas on successive nights when
they were supposed to be beaten
easily.
Th Sies couldn't keep ud the
pace Friday, however, and bowed
to the dope-bucket in the form of
a flashing Iranian onslaught. The
victors chalked up wins number
20 and 21 as they humbled bigma
Chi, 15-2 and 15-6.
Alpha Tau omega iook up mo
challenger's role against the
Iranians in Monday's semis as
they copped a hard-fought Fri
day match from Cornhusker
Co-op. The Coco boys momen
tarily stunned the Taus by win
ning the first game, 15-11, but
bowed to the Tau spikers in the
next two frays. 9-15 and 6-15.

Semifinals
It will be the Iranians against
Phi Kappa Psi for the AU-uni
versity volleyball champions, ine
two spiking outfits advanced to
the All-U finals Monday night
by throttling Alpha Tau omega
and Phi Delta Theta, respec
tively.
The Iranians took the necs
sary two games from the Taus
to win the semi-final clash, but
not until the ATO spikers hand
ed the boys from Iran their
first defeat of the year. The
Iranians, riding 21 straight vic
tories into the semis, easily
racked up number 22 before
the Taus caught on. The score
of that first game was a lop
sided 15-3.
It was nip-and-tuck all the way
in the second game. The Iranians
jumped to a 3-0 lead and then
saw the ATO's whittle away at it
until the Taus held a 6-5 margin.
Tt was Iran aeain for the next few
minutes and the ATO's were be
hind once more, this time 7-9.
From then on, it was two points
for Alpha Tau Omega and one for
the Iranians until the Taus had
accomplished what no other team
had been able to this year. The
Iranians had gone down to a 13-
15 defeat.
It appeared in the third game
that the Taus knew a good thing
when they saw it, because they
quickly ran up a 4-0 count be
fore the favorites could muster
their forces. It was too good
to last, however, as the Iranians
practically forced the ball down
the ATO throats and waltzed
to the 15-6 deciding victory.
Aeain it was the spiking of Faz
Haehiri and Eddie Sarklssian ana
the placing-shots of Mort Solhjoo
that spelled doom lor tne iran
ians' opponents. Al Blessing gave
the victors a taste of their own
medicine throughout the match
with some superb spikes of his
own and was well backed up by
Verl Scott and the surprising play
of Bill Weber and Bob Osborne.
Phi Kappa Psi took two
quickies from Phi Delta Theta.
The Phi Psi's easily streaked
to a 15-5 first game win and
then ran up a 9-4 second game
lead and coasted in to a 15-8
triumph.
All six of the Phi Psi spikers
performed well, but it was the
smashes of Jerry Anderson with
help from brother Larry and Bob
Bachman that broke tne fRi ueit
hopes.
Tuesday s nnais win pit two
teams who have suffered but
one deefat this year. The Iran
ians will carry a 23-1 record
into the title fray as opposed
by the Phi Psi slate of 22-1.
The Phi Psi's suffered their
lone setback during the regular
season at the hands of Beta
Theta Pi.

The Huskers are currently en
eaeed in post-season workouts
Under Big Seven rules, a confer
ence team is permitted to hold
12 practice sessions during a
three week period.
"Although the Easter vaca
tion period is included during
the three week practice period
which we are allowed, I believe
that we will be able to com
plete our 12 practice sessions
before our permitted time ex
pires," Coach Good said.
"Our forwards are not hitting
as consistently as they should,
putting the heavy part of the load
on the center and guards, in com'
peting in the Big Seven, any team
that hopes to make a good snow
inff will have to have consistent
scoring power in the guard, cea
ter and forward positions," he
commented.
The Nebraska cage boss said
that he believes the team to
.have made a "fair showing
against the. alumni, although the
center position was confronted
with some top veteran competi
tion, which put more responsi
bility for rebounds upon the
guards.
Good s varsity lineup includes
forwards Stan Matzke, Paul Fred
strom, Willard Fagler, Don Weber,
Lee Dobler, Dave b anroacn, uiar
ence Cook and Don Muenster.
Centers are Bill Johnson,
Chuck Ott, Gary Renzelman
and Bill Soelberg..
The guards are Joe Good,

he didn't make an error. He realized that cigarette
mildness can't be judged in slam-bang fashion.
Millions of smokers throughout America know, too,
there's a thorough way to judge cigarette mildness!
It's the sensible fesf..,the 30-Day Camel Mildness
Test, which simply asks you to try Camels on a
day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap
