"Despite the fact that Iowa State
has won three Big Six swimming
championships and a tie for the
title in five years, Coach C. E.
Daubert describes the prospects
for the 1934 season as "the moat
promising in many years."
Four major letter winners from
last year's team, which tied for the
conference title, and six numeral
winners from one of the rreatest
freshman tank teams ever gath
ered at Iowa State a team that
outswam the varsity in several
practice duels are leading con
tenders for team positions. The
lettermen are Russell Gerry of
Ames, Harley Zimmerman of
Washington, 111., Karl Feise and
Richard Murphy of Des Moines.
Both Gerry and Murphy hold sev
eral Big Six winning champion
ships, and were members of cham
pion relay teams.
These lettermen will have to
speed up their strokes to keep
ahead of the numeral winners

PHI PSI HEADS GREEK
ATHLETESjTHIS YEAR
Leaders Rank a Little Past
400 Mark in Season's
Competition.
With all the interfraternity
soprts tabulated and the points dis
tributed among the various partici
pants, Phi Kappa Psi was found to
lead the field with a total of
407 1-2 points, and is the first and
only team so far this season to
reach the 400 mark. Delta Sigma
Phi is pushing them closely for
honors, and has 385 points to its
credit, some twenty points back of
the fast-stepping Phi Pis.
The leaders are bunched rather
closely after these two teams. Pi
Kappa Alpha has third place with
385 1-2 points, and Delta Tau
Delta is right on their trail with
353 1-2. Alpha Gamma Rho takes
fifth with 330, Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon sixth with 313, and Sigma Nu
305 to complete the list of teams
which have reached the 300 mark.
The rest of the field bunches it
self for thf: 250's or above and then
spreads out down to twenty points.
These results include Intera
mural basketball, which has just
been completed.

Cowboy Team Boasts Record
Of 44 Straight Wins
In Cage Play.
Still possessing an average
of .500 percent in the Big Six
conference race the Nebraska
basketball team dropped to
fourth place during their dis
astrous two game trip which
resulted in a loss to Missouri after
leading at the half-time 20 to 12
and losing in the dying moments
of the game to Kansas State after
possessing a 23 to 18 point lead
with hardly three minutes of bat
tle remaining.
Wyoming Team is Strong.
This week-end the so far rather
unlucky Browne basket flippers
meet one of the strongest teams
in hte nation on the Coliseum ma
ples when they play the highly
touted University of Wyoming
quintet Saturday night at 8
o'clock. Sporting two Ail-American
basketball players the Wyom
ing outfit, coached by Willard
Witte, former Nebraska basket
ball and football star, is expected
to give the Huskers for more trou
ble than they have met this year
or any other year when the pres
ent team was in action.
Witte on Quint.
Presenting such nationally
known figures on the maples as
"Beanie" Witte, Willard's younger
brother, and Johnny Kimball, both
of whom were former Lincoln high
school athletes during the reign
of Coach Browne, the Wyoming
outfit promises much in the way
of ability and sharp-shooting.
Just to give one an idea as to
the ability of the Wyoming quin
tet here is a bit of news from the
invaders:
"Forty-four consecutive victories
at home against eastern division
teams of the Rock Mountain con
ferences over a span of the last
eight campaigns!
That's the record nailed to tfte
wall by the Wyoming Cowboys last
week when they racked up a pair
of triumphs over Western State
college here in the first double
header of the 1934 season.
Forty-Four Straight Wins.
Forty-four straight successes
count 'em!
It's a mark which may never be
surpassed or even closely ap
proached by any other member of
the conference as long as it
chooses to remain the "Big 12".
Certainly no team has amassed
such an impressive list of victories
in the loop before, and the odds
appear overwhelming against that
possibility.
And the Punchers, who en
counter the Nebraska University
Cornhuskers at Lincoln on Jan. 20,
are not yet thru, at least as far as
the naked eye can discern. They
will be ready to pick up the thread
here on Jan. 23, when they face
the revitalized Denver unversity
five.
Slated as Tough Team.
Wyoming is hailed from one end
of the Rocky Mountains to the
other as one of the toughest clubs
in the country to beat in its half-
acre barnyard, and here is the rea
son. Back in dusty 1927, when hte
present gymnasium was preparing
to celebrate its second birthday.
the Cowboys began the season at
home on Jan. 15 by dropping a
hard battle to Denver by a 28-25
score. The result was set down
in the ledger as just another ball
game on the wrong side of the
sheet, and the Cowboys, then a so-
so ball club, groped their way un
steadily along the Rocky confer
ence path.
Streak Started in 1927.
Feb. 15, 1927, is recorded as an
all-important date in Wyoming'8
athletic history, for it marked the
end of the reign of opposing teams
On that date the snarling Colorado
College Tiger came to town and
handed the Punchers a stinging
32-27 defeat, the last for a Wyom
ing quintet up to the present time.
The Cowboys went on to win
four games at home In 1927, and
the string began to unravel. The
MEALS That Really
Surprise for Only 15c
We feature a large variety of foode
and each cuMomer la given
individual aervlce.
next year Wyoming captured sev
en straight at home, and in 1929
five conference squads fell. In
1930 the Cowboys boosted the total
to twenty-two in a row by taking
six.
The winter of 1931 brought Wil
lard "Dutch" Witte, former Ne
braska satellite, into the Wyom
ing camp a3 basketball's head
man, and pickings for another di
visional teams became leaner as
the Cowboys notched five more
successes and launched themselves
on another winning streak that
threatened to eclipse the first. Af
ter losing the first game of the
Greeley, Colo., Wyoming rang up
eleven straight decisions over the
field, both at home and away.
Bring Total To 33-6.
The Wittemen kept both runs
intact thruout 1932, winning six
games at home to increase their
at-home stretch to 33, and adding
a half-dozen on foreign courts to
record twenty-three successive tri
umphs against division clubs on
any battle-site.
Wyoming annexed seven more
against all teams on all fields last
year, but a smart Colorado uni
versity team caught the Cowboys
on a bad evening in Boulder, and
snapped the chain at thirty vic
tories in a line.
Their at-home record continued
to prosper, however, and the House
of Witte wound up the year with
nine wins on its own court to
raise the ante to forty-two. The
two afore-mentioned victories over
Western State here last week
started the new season off in
record-building style.
In the last seven years three
coaches have helped to erect the
mark. Stuart M. Clark was a
Cowboy wheelman in 1927 and
1928, and he topped off his work
with a divisional champion team
in his second year. George Mc
Laren succeeded Clark in 1929 and
he preserved the winning streak
until the arrival of Witte two years
later. Witte, of course, has never
seen his squad trimmed on its own
floor by an eastern division club.
In fact, Wyoming has lost only
twice at home since Witte climbed
into the driver's seat, dropping one
game to Brigham Young in the
playoff series for the conference
championship in 1932, and another
in a two-game series to the Wichi
ta Henry's, with whom they split
even in that same year."
In swimming circles this vear
Nebraska and Iowa State again
lead the Big Six field in prospects
for the coming year. Iowa State
is reported to have a stronger
team than last year when they tied
the Husker tanksters for the con
ference aquatic title.

Schulte Strives to Prepare
Squad for First of
Indoor Meets.
Coach Heny F. Schulte, track
mentor, ures all Varsity track
men to continue training, thruout
the period of examinations, at
least three times per week by re
porting to the stadium for regular
conditioning workouts in their
available time. This work, he be
lieves will help keep them at razor
edge for the exams as well as pre
vent them from breaking down
the accomplishments of former
training by this period normally
given to physical rest and in ac
tivity. To complete the schedule for the
approaching semester, Coach
Schulte is corresponding with var
ious colleges to secure meets for
Feb. 17, and March 10, and 17. UP
on the receipt of agreements to
meet at these dates, the schedule
will be officially announced.
With the Big Six indoor meet
to be held at Columbia Feb. 24,
Coach Schulte is getting his boys
in good shape and urges all avail
able track material to report for
practice immediately after the
opening of the spring semester.
Practice is held every afternoon at
the stadium track, and work-outs
during the exams will be light.
