ffie PEG-BOARD (
by Peggy Speece
"Throw it here!" the pretty blonde co-ed shouted.
"No, here!" "Quick, here," came shouts from other
girls.
The scene? No, it wasn't the tossing of a bridal bouquet
at a wedding but rather Grant Memorial Hall during a
girls' intramural basketball game.
, Girls' basketball is played with six players, and no
more than four from any one team can be at one basket
at the same time. Thus there are always two people from
each team under the basket at all times. These people are
called stationary and cannot cross the center line.
Passing Game
All of which makes .the game quite a passer's ' delight.
To play skillfully, a girl must master all kinds of .passing
techniques. Further limiting her footwork is a rule allowing
only three dribbles.
However, one girl I observed had got around the three
dribble rule rather nicely. She had discovered just how much
impetus to give the ball so that she could keep up with it
without touching it. She could travel nearly the distance of
the court running along side the ball and only touching it
twice.
Although the males of this University may think girls'
basketball to be a slow and easy game I doubt that there
are any fewer injuries in girls' than boys' basketball.
'UGH!'
In fact the girls I watched ignored most of the spills of
the game. One particular incident stands out to credit of
the girls' courage.
One little girl (why does the littlest girl on the floor
always have to guard the biggest?) ended up on the bottom
of a group of three coeds who had gone after a rebound.
Quickly her captain leaned over her and asked "Are
you all right?" to which the girl, who had received a knee
to the stomach, replied "UGH!" and the game went on.

regular catcher, is tentatively
slated for action in right field
if his injured ankle heals. Aft
er twisting it Tuesday, Bornie
has been unable to practice
and still remains doubtful as
a starter. Coach' Sharpe has
benched starter Ron Douglas
for the first game in hopes
that he will snap out of his
current slump.
Kansas, picked by many to
give Missouri a tough fight
for the Big-8 championship
this year, will start Steve
Renko on the mound for the
first game. Renko may be
remembered as the quarter
back on the KU football team
this past fall and also as play
ing on the basketball team.
This past week Sharpe has
been trying to bolster the
team morale after a rather
slow start by scrimmaging
them against the freshman
team. "The smiles are start
ing to come back to their
faces," he said after turning
them loose on the frosh hurl
ers. The presence of seven soph
omores in the starting line-up
sounds good for the future,
but nevertheless, there are
eighteen games left on this
year's schedule. According to
Sharpe, however, the sophs
have done no worse than the
veterans on the team.
Leading the team in hitting
so far are Randy Harris
(.363), the secondbase man,
Gary Tunison (.344), the left
fielder. Sharpe has hopes that
the psychological lift of the
first home series will boost
some other averages too.

Frosh Baseball Team
Works With Varsity
With only two regularly
scheduled games on tap for
Coach Monte Kiffin's junior
batsmen, actual game condi
tions are hard to come by.
However, this past week the
frosh have had their hands
full with the varsity.
Hitting the ball well against
the varsity have been Jim
Smith, shortstop from Colum
bus, Roger Douglas, Alex
Walter, and Robin Stickney,
the catcher. Defensively John
Myer has performed quite
ably in left field.
The two top pitchers at this
stage seem to be Gary Nie
bauer (6'4"), and Stan Ba
hasen (6'3") both right-handers.
All the freshmen will be
trying to do exceptionally well
in these varsity scrimmages
because a final cut is still
pending in order to cut the
squad to 25 men.
By the time the two games
with the Offut Air Force Base
roll around on May 9 and May
23, the freshmen should at
least be well-practiced.

A search for names for two
nameless oxen is now being
conducted by the State Game,
Forestation, and Parks Com
mission. The oxen have been chosen
as a real life replica of the
famous Nebraskaland symbol
of the two oxen drawing a
Conestoga wagon. These
animals with the wagon will
appear in parades and civic
promotions throughout the
state this summer. When not
making public appearances,
the Conestoga will serve as
a portable tourist station on
Interstate 80 near Greenwood.
A number of names for the
oxen have already been sub
mitted in the naming contest
according to Mel Steen, com
mission director.
Winner of the contest will
receive a free week's vaca
tion for two at the state park
of his choice, with all the
facilities of the park free. This
includes everything except
food. The first 10 runners-up
will receive three-year sub
scriptions to the Game Com
mission's magazine, OUT
DOOR NEBRASKAland.
The deadline for entering
the name contest is June 1.
There is no limit on entries,
but each set of names must
be sent in on a separate post
card or letter.
To insure correct reading of
the entries, they should be
printed or typewritten.
Several pairs of names al
ready submitted have in
cluded feminine names. Steen
reports that both the oxen
are boys and feminine names
must be disqualified.
If the names selected as
the winners are submitted by
more than one person, the
entry bearing the earliest
postmark will be declared the
winner.
As helpful hints to anyone
entering contest, Steen pro
vided a description of the
oxen. Both, he says, are doc
ile, aloof and stand about 45
inches at the shoulder.
One is roan colored with a
white "V" on his forehead;
the other is black and white
with a white shield on his
forehead. The roan weighs
about 800 pounds and his
teammate weighs around 750
pounds,
Steen reports that both are
completely disinterested in
people and can be lured only
by the prospect of a free
handout of pellets of hay.
Entries should be sent to
NEBRASKAland, State Capi
tal Lincoln, 68509.
