Van Tmeig iuestion then "Have the Huskers had enough time or wiU they have enough time to master the single wing in good enough style to win in this tough Big Seven Conference'" The spring weather has played havoc with Coach Bill Glassford's spring session, as usual and time is important because the single wing is a formation calling for precise blocking and much work, on funda mentals. The things that will make the switchover smooth and effective are: first, the Huskers have run from a spread formation at different times during the past three seasons, and since the blocking assign ments while not identical, are similar. Therefore, blocking shouldn t be as big a problem as it first apepars. Secondly the Huskers are counting on veterans who have the experience, talent miu ubuu w inoivc me xicai bedson a winning one lor Nebraska. Th main thing to guard against is not to build the Huskers Into a paper powerhouse. Such was the case in 1951 remember? While in the process of saying adios to the grldsport we came across some interesting football items from Texas way From the Dallas News: "Administrators of 1,278 Texas high schools will vote the next week on whether they want spring football train ing. "Two choices are offered. One permits twenty-one consecutive calendar days of spring training. It would allow fall football prac tice to begin one week prior to the first Friday in September, with no inter-school game to be scheduled until the second weekend Biier lau practice Begins. "The second choice prohibits spring training, it allows fall work outs to start the second Monday prior to the first Friday in Septem ber. No game could be played until the second week end after practice starts."

In a further effort to prevent inter-conference raiding, the Southeastern conference has come up with a "letter of intent" which the prep star signs with the University he hopes to attend. No other conference member may then sign him to such a letter. Up to April 23, TCU had signed 12 boys to the agreement, with other members reporting signers also.

For the third straight year in tramural Softball bowed to un yielding forces as Mother Nature's liquid Spring forced the cancclla tion of the 1953 diamond league action. Although getting off to a fine start which saw 48 regular-season contests reaching completion, the cold, wet fingers of rain ruled out the rest of the round-robin action and turned the already-completed games into practice shorties. In order to finish the 1-M sea son by May. 23, the last day of classes, the Intramural Depart ment has again been forced to revert to the single-elimination tournament as the means to es tablish thc various Softball cham pionships.

Fraternity first-round action continues through Wednesday when the Independents take over. All teams, except for the six teams that have drawn byes, will have their first-round contest out of the way by Thursday night.
