Glassford and his aides are keep

Bill Schabacker, veteran Hus

another end' candidate, arc the
only squadmen suffering from In

Husker co-captains, is recovering
from a minor shoulder injury
while Hofacre chipped a bone in
his wrist and will be out of action
for an indefinite period.
Glassford worked his offensive
machines on the weak side attack
off the single wing Wednesday
and continued to stress the Ne

Fischer again handled the brunt
oi the passing load.
There were a few new faces on

The outlook for the Nebraska
track squad may be a little bright

ttd Weir said Wednesday that the
return of distance runner Hobei injury and it Will

Jones has been out of action for
quite a while and definitely will
not be ready to go this Saturday
at the Kansas Relays. If present
plans go accordingly Hobe could
be ready to go in at least one race
by All-Sports Day, May 2.
Jone's return would add some
drastically needed strength to the
distance runs.
Coach Weir has picked seven
boys to go with him this weak-end
to the Kansas Relays. Weir stated
that he is just taking one station

day, but that he will take a much

competition. In warming up
for the event Beerline jumped a
cerditable 45-7.
Dan Tolman is the other possi
bility for the AAU competition
in the 400 meter (quarter-mile)
hurdles. If Tolman can get enough
practice in before Saturday he
will compete in the race.
Tolman is also competing in
the hurdle events along with Cole.
Beerline is entered in the broad
jump, Sommers in the pole vault,
later on this month. 0
Four hurdlers have been work
ing out to form a shuttle relay
team to compete at Drake. Jim
Hofstetter moved from the fourth
slot on the relay team to the third
for a bit of inspiration for Wier.
It shows that the boys are hus
tling and improving.
Phil Hidelk is another boy who
is being counted on for double
duty later in the season. Besides
his usual job of high jumping
Phil has been working in the
broadjumping pit. He jumped

preliminary work.

Can you "take it" 6 days a week? For 52 weeks? Can
you meet the high standards required to be an Avia
tion Cadet? If you can -then here's a man-size oppor
tunity! An opportunity to serve your country and
build a personal career that will fit you for responsible
positions both in military and commercial aviation.
It won't be easy! Training discipline for Aviation
Cadets is rigid. You'll work hard, study hard, play
hard especially for the first few weeks. But when it's
over, you'll be a pro -with a career ahead of you that
will take you as far as you want to go. You graduate
as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force, with pay of
$5,300.00 a year. And this is only the beginning-
your opportunities for advancement are unlimited.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?
To qualify as an Aviation Cadet, you must have com
pleted at least two years of college. This is a minimum
requirement it's best if you stay in school and gradu
ate. In addition, you must be between 19 and 26Vi
years, unmarried, and in good physical condition.
YOU CAN CHOOSE BETWEEN
PILOT OR AIRCRAFT OBSERVER
If you choose to be an Aircraft Observer, your train
ing will be in Navigation, Bombardment, R.adar
Operation or Aircraft Performance Engineering.
New Aviation Cadet training Classes Begin Every Few Weeks!
HERE'S WHAT TO DO:
J. Take a transcript of your college credits and a copy
of your birth certificate to your nearest Air Force
Base or Recruiting Station. Fill out the application
they give you.
2. If application is accepted, the Air Force will arrange
for you to take a physical examination.
3. Next, you will be given a written and manual apti
tude test
4. If you pass your physical and other tests, you will
be scheduled for an Aviation Cadet Training Class.
The Selective Service Act allows you a four-month
deferment while waiting class assignment.
Where to get more details: Visit your nearest Air Fores Base or Air Force Recruiting Officer;
