Friday night the coaching staff
at university was au wee, u i may
use the trite expression.
It seems that Harris Andrews,
Reatrica hack, eave impetus to the
move when he was dunked under
the showers in punishment for nis
pranks.
After being thoroughly drenched,
'Andrews felt that he must in some
way avenge himself. Seeking the
coaching staff ambling into the
dressing room, jfhdy shouted,
Let's: initiate the coaches!"
That was all that needed to be
aid. The entire pack of disrob
ing gridders jumped on Biff Jones
and Link Lyman and carried
fiiem face up in horizontal position
under three cold showers. The
fact that the mentors were given
an unwarranted bath was not as
much as the fact that they were
riven It "fully clothed in football
fogs!"
The next night they took
tJbaches W. H. Browne and
!,dolph Lewandowskl into the
ame chilling sprays.
PLAYERS TO PUT UP
STIFF COMPETITION
Scores Show Improvement
After Five Weekend
Softball Games.
Greek Softball players improve
with experience according to evi
dence derived from five weekend
games played on the flats. Scores
Indicate that competition will be
come stiffer as the season pro
gresses with leagues gradually de
veloping from the embryo stage
and favorites taking command.
Acacia continued its steady ad
vance toward another kitten ball
title as it pounded almost a score
of runs from he offerings of Sigma
Chi pitcher Virg Yelkin, ex-Husker
football end. While Harry Chaim
of the winners was not too effec
tive, his teammates backed him up
on the offensive and took the game
18-9.
Nelson Pitches to Win.
Alpha Gamma Rho won its first
game of the season after two
losses as "Slim" Nelson, Corn
husker basketball renter of two
reasons ago, who was on the ailing
list last season, set Phi Kappa Psi
down 8-6. Weaver pitched for the
loners.
Phi Gamma Delta jumped an
other hurdle in their clash for the
league two title as they eliminated
their closest competition. Phi
Sigma Kappa, from the undefeated
list in a 'i-1 game. Elmer Bauer
hurled for the Phi Gams as they
won their third game. The Phi
Sigs sent Floyd Meier to the
mound as they attempted to stop
the winners. Only Pi Kappa Alpha
remains in the path of the Phi
l Gams to keep them from the title.
Two extra innings were required
to decide the Theta Chi-Pi K. A.
contest with the latter ten ekeing
out a 9-8 win in the ninth Inning.
Pitcher John Flanagan tossed and
batted his teammates to the vic
tory as he crossed the plate in the
final inning for the winning run.
The win was the first for the Pi
K. A.'s against one loss; Theta
Chi stands with a brace of de
feats. Davis, Eitel Lock Horns.
Phi Delta Theta and Beta Sigma
Psi turned in one of the best
played games of the season as Phi
Dell Davis and Beta Sig Henry
Kltel locked horns in a hurlers'
duel. The governor's new neigh
bors emberged on the long end of
the 3-1 score.
Play will be resumed Monday
as 14 teams take to the diamonds
to compete for the crown. The
day's outstanding game will bring
Alpha Sigma Phi and Delta Up
sllon together in a game that

IN DISCUS EM
Cardy Third in Broad Jump;
Relay Squads Place
Second, Third.
(Bjr Sperlal Wire to The Hall; Nrbrankan.)
Another record was shattered by
Nebraska's AU American Sam
Francis as he broke the K. U. re
lays shot put mark yesterday at
Lawrence, Kas., with a throw of
51 feet 6 inches. This fling
eclipsed the old relays mark of
51 feet 3-8 inches obtained in 1935
by Elwyn Dees, ex-Kansas univer
sity weight satellite.
Not contented with one first, the
All American fullback went out
and fetched himself laurels in the
discus with a throw of 144 feet
3 3-4 inches. This performance in
the platter event was about six
feet short of the mark Francis
used in taking this contest at the
Texas relays.
Lloyd Cardwell's jump of 24
feet 1-4 inch brought him a third
in the broad jump. Bob Hubbard,
who is well remembered by Hus
ker track addicts for his track
ability displayed in the Minnesota
Nebraska dual recently at Memo
rial stadium, took the broad jump
ing diadem with a leap of 24 feet
3-4 inch. This is the first time
this year that the Wild Hoss has
leaped past the 24 foot mark.
Two Milers In Second.
The Nebraska two mile relay
aggregation of Al Kuper, Wilson
Andrews, Fred Matteson and Bob
West turned in clocking which
gave it a second to Indiana's win
ning time of 7:46.5. Coach Henry
F. Scliulte expressed his satisfac
tion with the performance of this
two mile team. Matteson, West,
and Andrews are varsity letter
holders while Kuper, a sophomore,
is an up and coming embryonic
runner.
Bob Simmons, Al Kuper, Wilson
Andrews and Fred Matteson made
up distance medley relay person
nel which placed third to Indiana.
Coach E. C. Hayes' Hoosiers ran
this race in 10:16.3. Bob Sim
mons, along with Kuper, is a soph
omore and traveling the 220 and
440 yard chases is his forte.
Drake Relays Next.
As things now stand, Francis
holds the shot put record at the
Texas relays and the Kansas re
lays and at both of these carnivals
he has absconded with the discus
event. Last year at the Drake re
lays, which will be held this com
ing Friday and Saturday at Des
Moines, la., Sam was a twain
winner, having won wreaths in the
iron ball throwing event and the
dlsrus.
The 19 man squad representing
the University of Nebraska at the
Kansas relays will pull into Lin
coln early Sunday morning by
auto. Monday the squad will in
cept training for the Drake re
lays and it Is avowing to pillage
several points from the Iowa car
nival. Sam Francis, especially,
will have something to look for
ward to in this impending meet in
the way of smashing more rec
ords to smithereens.
GOLFERS PLAY FINAL
LI
Lincoln Country Club Course
Selected for Monday
Competitions.
The final 18 holes of qualifying
play to determine the Husker golf
team will be staged Monday after
noon over the Lincoln County club
course. The four low scorers will
take the trek April 23 to face
Iowa State at Ames, la.
Jerry Hunt and Eugene Zuspann,
members of last year's outfit
which tied Oklahoma for the team
championship, traversed the first
18 holes in 76, four over par. Ralph
"Whitie" Reed, Big Six individual
champ last season with a score of
143, did not fare so well in last
Monday's qualifying rounds and
finished with 82. Gordon Mc En
tire, also a member of the co
championship personnel, scored a
78 while Wayne Haversfleld, of the
Sioux City, la., scored to a 92.
Much credit for rounding the
Husker mashie wielding squad Into
the pink of condition goes to Ed
Newkirk, tall Lincoln Country club
professional. His instructions and
tips have been very edifying and
should go a long way in aiding the
Huskers in retaining the '36 league
laurels.

Reds Triumph in
Final Scrimmage
Howell, Dodd Score Twice
Each; Varsity Blanks
Greens 26-0.
By Ed Steeves.
In one quarter of rugged and
three-quarters of ragged football,
the red-shirted varsity walked
over the green shirts, 26-0, yester
day in the final spring scrimmage
of the year.
Howell and
Dodd crossed
the goal twice
each' as grid
ders staged
their sporadic
finale behind
closed doors.
The only pe
ri o d of the
8 p 1 i t - squad
skirmish that
went off with
all precision
urns tll first.
JACK DODD
Three of the
Courtesy State Journal four tOUCh-
downs were scored in that canto
and at that time only the Reds
showed their full power. Rohrig
started the ball of action rolling as
he pedalled down the field 15 yards
through center. Andrews contin
ued the march for 10 and later
ailed to Dodd, who picked up 5
more before hitting the sod.
Slow March for Score.
A slow march, down by down,
brought the Reds into enemy ter
ritory and scoring distance. At
this point Rohrig dropped way
back and let a deceptive pass fly
some 15 yards to Dodd, who
snatched it on the dead run and
tore over the double stripe for the
first score. Herm Rohrig's kick
went wide and the count stood 6-0.
The Green's, receiving, soon
found themselves no match for the
charging, plowing Reds. After con
sistent small losses, they for
feited 10 yards on a third down
fumble and were forced to punt
out of danger. Andrews picked
the punt out of the air and scur
ried back to his own 45 yards. A
few downs later, Herm Rohrig
started a one-man tourhdown
march as he picked up about 20
yards through the center in three
plays.
Dodd Scores.
With the Greens bracing them
selves against further line buclzi,
Johnny Howell brought the spec
tacular into the game as he
chucked a 40 yard puss to Dodd,
sprinting along the 5 yard zone.
Dodd glue himself to it and raced
4 yards untouched for the second
tally. Again Rohrig kicked wide.
Score: Reds 12, Greens 0.
Again the Greens received, and
again they lost inches with every
play, and thus Thelps booted to
the 20.
The Reds kept up on the goal
with steady progress until Dodd
broke loose after abotu 8 plays
for 25 yards and then lateralled to
Mehrlng. On next play Johnny
Howell broke through the Green
line and raced down the sidelines
for the third and a 60 yard touch
down, bringing the score to 18-0.
This time Rohrig's placement was
good and the count went to 19-0.
This ended the first and only
smooth quarter of the game. From
that point on fumbles increased as
did missed assignments and incom
pleted passes.
Mather Stan.
At the opening of the second
period the Greens were still striv
ing for their first gain. Mather
starred In this portion of the game
reeling off long gains almost
single handed. A few plays after
the opening of the period the Reds
were penalized 15 yards for clip
ping, but Mather gained it all back
on the next play. On the next
play, he fumbled the pass from
center, but still picked up 10 yards
by reversing the field. Here the
Reds took up passing unsuccess
fully and the Greens were at least
holding their own.
Peters turned the tide shortly
following as he gored thru center
of the Green line and downed Por
ter for a 15 yard loss. In the next
series of downs, however, with
the Reds on the
ball, Slrasheim
and Porter turn
ed the tables by
mauling Howell
for a 10 yard
loss.
A Red pass
late in the quar
t e r, intended
for Petsch, was
blocked by
Cather, but Alf
son, a tackle
snatched it be
fore it hit the
JOHN HOWELL "e run.l
Cuuruay biaio Journal' "
10 yard line.
This aet the pins for the first
Green scoring threat. The Greens
chose to try for their score by air,
but after tossing three bad ones,
Ramey, center, intercepted their
fourth for a Red touchback.
White-Anthet-Hcwell Play.
Nothing spectacular occurred
from this point until a double lat
eral, Wbite to Anthes to Howell,
brought the agate Into scoring dis
tance for the Reds as the second
quarter ended.
Coach Biff Jones inserted his
two original teams at the start of
the third quarter. In. this period
Thuiston Phelps c&f.ia into his
pa mm Li iJt$
THE DAILY
own in kicking, passing and run
ning. Phelps pounded out three
spectacular boots, one measuring
80 yards with the roll, another 70
and the third 65.
The only suspense of the third
quarter came when Phelps tossed
a 30 yard pass to Kahler, who
finally nipped it after juggling it
for several seconds, and then raced
to the 20 yard line for another
Green touchdown setup.
The touchdown march was short
on the "march" elcir.ei.' as Phelps
tossed four passes, none of them
complete.
The Reds started goalward
again, but Cather intercepted one
of Howell's passes to halt the
threat.
Continuing their aerial attack
the Greens pursued the touchdown,
which they never got, as Phelps
hurled a spiral to Shindo on the
Red 25 yard line. The Reds tight
ened in the nick of time and again
the Greens were disappointed in
points.
White's Kick Blocked.
The beginning of the fourth
quarter found opportunity again
rapping on the Green's door as
White's blocked punt was recov
ered by Hitchcock, an end. Their
third unsuccessful touchdown
march was as follows: One bad
pass, one loss as Ramey broke
through, another bad pass, and an
intercepted pass by Shindo.
On a couple of punt exchanges
the Greens were again set up for
the scoring money, but once again,
no sale.
.Late in the game the Reds came
into permanent possession of the
ball. Howell initiated an aerial
drive that eventually netted the
freak fourth score of the game.
Johnny heaved a 21 yard pass to
Richardson who trucked to the
Green 45. Here little Bob Mehrlng
pulled out o fthe line, took a cross
buck from Andrews, faked a lat
eral and then reversed the field
for a 25 yard gain to the 15.
Howell plunged from here, after
the tumult had subsided, and
Rohrig kicked, bringing the count
to 26-0 as the final gun sounded.
Squad Praised.
Before leaving the field, the
squad surrounded Jones as he
gave them his words of apprecia
tion for their support.
"We looked very god as a
whole," commonted the new men
tor to his boys.
Individual standouts of the day
were pilncipully the first team
backfield of Howell, Rohrig, Dodd
anil Andiews, with Phelps in
cluded. Nine stars were Brock,
English, Mehrlng, Ramey, Dobson
and Grimm.
