SUnmidks :!(, .4 TE PRAISE INTKAMIIRALS By Ed Steevet. Over 1n the collieum you can find a dopartmfnt called the In tramural department that la al ways busier than 89 beaver be hind Bohedule. We offer them the plate glass blotter for the most internal what It takes of any de partment on thla campus. Year In and out, they are mak ing: some athletic aspiring: soul of non-varsity caliber a champ of some sort. They play a full round of sports, basketball, football soc cer and all tho rest, but are they ever repaid with a little of the pacifying: hero worship? No. Before you tay what I think you are about to, let ua admit that we have alighted them from this end In the way of publicity. Right you are, but so does every other paper so far as this sohool's Intramural are con cerned and so does every other student paper so far as Intra frat play at their school goes. Thru the channels of intra murals many deserving athletes have been found and placed in varsity berths. It is remarkable to watch the precision with which the intramural department handles the hundreds of entries from the re spective fraternities. Houses play first In leagues and the finalists have playoffs. Officials for these games constitute a magnanimous payroll, sustained thru the athletic funnds. Only last night the prelimi naries In volleyball were com pleted In the four leagues com peting, the results were as fol lows: Sigma Nu copped league I; Slg Ep conquered the field In the second league; In league III It was all Sig Alph; and Phi Psl walked off with the honors for the final group. Semifinals will be held Monday in the coliseum and the finals Tuesday. For a new experience, the intramurals are mighty fine. They're free! The recent execution of the cen ter jump in basketball has brought less reaction than anticipated. No mourners to speak of were present and handkerchiefs remained com paratively dry as the tipoff met ita fate. Just before the committee on rules "went in." Dr. Naismith, originator of the game, and Dr. Allen, Naismith's asosciate at the "University of Kansas, put up a gallant plea for an "innocent" ver dict. "The tipoff brings suspense to the game," they wept, "raise the baskets, but please don't kill my center jump." Well the committee didn't heed and now we must all make the best of it. In the case of its effe i Ne braska we look at it in this way Nebraska played with five men last year; they played with five, because they had no ade quate replenishments. They were called "iron men." This cannot be without the center Jump, because there is not that lag of time to ret while the teams assemble for the jump following every basket. A sam ple of this was made when they banished the tip ensuing free throws. Some one makes the shot, an opposing man takes the ball outside and bingo, they are off! The jump will still be used to start the game and at half open ings, however. Nebraska has never been spe cially blessed with towering cagers because cagers don't grow as tall as the corn here. Coach Browne has always had his share of say four or five real tall ones, but this was not always enough. When he met a team lucky enough to find a full team of stilted Ichabods, he usually lost. A tip has always been calculated as five points at center and ten points if controlled all over the court. That is if the center gets the openers, figure his team with a ten point advantage. If his teammates outjump their opponents in all held balls, give his team a ten point margin. For this reason this never ceas ing search by coaches for lads in the grade school who are writing on the tops of the black boards will stop and basketball will settle back to an athletes game. We can get a glimpse of the way in which basketball in this part of the country stacks up with caging over the entire map by the limited flight of the Woodman Accident quint of Lin coln in their A. A. U. meet In Denver. The Accidents won a couple of games by spilt hairs and then ran up against a Safe way team of Denver that won by a margin, speaking in the terms of hairs, that was as large as all the beardage of the House of David, 64-31. Of course, this means not a great deal since the Lincoln five was composed of the gentle home type of boy who is playing the game just for fun while the Safe way team is made up of All-Americans and the like who are out for championships and b-l-o-o-d. The names of two University of Pennsylvania girls appeared by accident on the list of men of that institution accepted for fraternity rushing. A quick witted student in the 4 bacteriology laboratory at the Uni versity of Minnesota found a swift solution for an unexpected fire. When a student's hair caught on fire, he put out the flame by slamming a book on the fellow's head. When's-Your-Birthday GEMINI MAY 21 JUNE 20 By JOE E. BROWN As the amateur astrologer.

Testerdav's genial weather was greeted with joy by the track team, and a large group of run ners took workouts by running around the practice football field. Those who did not report for out door practices did duty under the east stadium, home of the track sters during inclement weather. Several noteworthy marks were garnered In yesterday's rehearsals. Bob Neumann, star from Chap pell, pole vaulted 12 feet 6 inches for one of the best leaps that he has had this season. Incidentally, Neumann's leap was obtained with the use of a bamboo pole; hereto fore the vaulters have been accus tomed to using the aluminum stick. Coach Schulte avers that the cane pole enables the vaulter to get about six more inches of height in the leap than would be possi ble with a metal one. Frank Hurls Discus. Kldon Frank hurled the discus 128 feet, which is not bad for pre season pegs. The St. Edward lad also obtained an :08 clocking in the 60 yard high hurdles, and in so doing seemed to slow up a bit on the last barrier. A halfback of recognized abil ity. Harris Andrews, Beatrice's gift to Nebraska athleticclom, found to his amazement that he was adept at pegging the javelin. Under the guidance of Ta Schulte, Andrews sent the spear piercing the warm zone for a considerable area. Andrews and Frank are be ing groomed as props for Elmer Dohrmann, letter winner xin the javelin. Injury Hits Squad. The injury nemesis claimed sev eral Husker trackmen this week. Bill Kovanda. sprinter and bas ketball player from Elk Creek, turned up with a charley horse while Mort Aden, elongated hurd ler, complained of an ailing foot. Les Pankonin. 440 yard dash man, has just about recuperated from a bad case of sore ankles. In taking part at the Big Six indoor confer-; ence track carnival, Pankonin ag-1 gravated the ailing members and ; was so hindered that he did not ; place in the finals. 1 Realizing that spring vacation is I just around the proverbial corner. Coach Schulte decided to stage the next tri-eolor track meet this com-1 ing Tuesday. The Reds, headed by Bob Kahler. captured the last con test for their first win in five starts. Records to date reveal that the Orange and Green squads have two victories each tucked under their belts while the Reds have but one. SENATOR H. E.

Committee on Abolishes At its meeting last Wednesday, the national basketball rules com mittee abolished the center jump from the cage sport. The experi ment has been placed on a year's probation, and if It proves success ful it will be retained permanent ly. However, the group decided to retain tho "three second" rule, which was devised solely as a means to accelerate basketball play The center jump has been the topic of intense discussion the past two years. Famed cage in structors scattered thruout the country this year added highly imflammable kindling to the smol dering fire, which culminated iti the tabooing of the middle leap. The jump at center has not been entirely eliminated, as it will be used at the beginning of regular and extra periods of play. New to Big Six. Many people are prone to look upon this innovation with suspi cion and awe, saying that It is taking one of the most important units away from the national in door diversion. The annulling of this jump is indeed new to the Missouri Valley, Big Six and other minor conferences, but it has been in the experimental stage the past three years in the Pacific coast and Southern conferences. Early this week the Big Ten rules makers took it upon them selves to adopt this experiment for a one year trial. This decision started the ball rolling, and the further it moved the more adher ents it collected. The National Coaches association voted. 60 to 9, to adopt the resolution passed a third resolution, more simple and requiring but one amendment to the constitution. The third proposal had two features: First, that the faction names be eliminated from the election ballot, and second, that the judiciary committee of the council pass judgment on all can didates before their names appear on the ballot. This second feature, adopted unanimously by the coun cil Wednesday evening, it is be lieved will eliminate those persons from office who have not the time, to devote to their task. It is an ticipated that such a move will lead to the beginnings of a point sys tem. But the first feature of the third reform was voted down by the council last Wednesday evening. After heated debate from both sides the first resolution was downed, lacking one vote of the re quired two-thirds to pass. The two favoring members of the investi gatory committee immediately turned to petition to accomplish the reform they believe will clean un campus politics. When the peti tion is presented before the next ! meeting of the council it win oe the first time any such action haa ever been taken. Gerald J. Loetterle Conducts Meeting of American Gem Guild Gerald J.

Before taking the final step, the national rules committee sent out questionnaires to prep coaches as well as to college and university mentors, asking their opinion .of the center jump. An influx of replies flowed into the office of Oswald Tower, editor of the rules book, and when the votes were counted, there were 801 votes for the change and 638 against it. Several other recommendations were brought to the attention of the moguls, but they were either rejected or deferred to next year's gathering of the committee. A proposal that a squad be allowed to refuse charity tosses, In lieu of taking the ball outside of the play ing floor along the edge of the court, was to be put on next year's questionnaire. The research com mittee received a resolution to the effect that something should be done to keep tall players from stopping opponents' shots at the goals. Coach Harold Browne's Nelaas-i ka cagers have had a taste of competition in which the no-center jump rule was in effect. While on a barnstorming tour of the west coast in 1036, the Browne men played several quintets who insisted upon the abolishment of the center jump. Mentor John Bunn's Stanford basketball squad was one opponent which the Huskers met in '36, and wore forced to play the contest without the center jump. In many of their games during that year, the Huskers played half the game; using the iumo and the otner nan without it.
