CLASSIC SPOUT
RETURNS TO CAMPUS
The first week in May the cam.
pus will have a chance to see one
of the world's oldest sports when
the first annual intramural fenc
ing tournament is staged In the
coliseum. This sport has not been
prevalent in Big Six circles be
cause of the lack of interest in the
sport and, at Nebraska at least,
because of the lack ot equipment
Knights In armor were the
first to engage in a sort of duel
which has evolved Into the mod
ern fencing bout. The games
were started In the 16th century
in Italy and soon became popu
lar, spreading to Spain and
France, where it became one of
the principal pastimes of those
countries. Its development was
aided by the invention ef gun -powder
which rendered armor
useless. Without the armor, the
fencers developed skill In the use
of the weapons.
Now one of the favorite sports
of modern times, fencing is played
with light foils or small flexible
swords tipped with rubber buttons
to prevent physical injury; There
are three weapons used in the
modern game: the foil, the epee,
and the saber. The foil is a thin
slender blade Which requires con
siderable technique to manipulate
die blade. The epee is a three cor
nered sword dueling sword and the
saber is a plain sword with a blunt
point but sharp edges.
Or. R. G. Clapp, director of
the department of physical edu
cation for men, claims that the
sport provides a good means for
physical development
Enthusiasm for the sport is
greatest In the eastern part of
the country with the Big Ten
conference being the farthest
west that it has penetrated. Bill
Crittenden reports that unusual
enthusiasm has been expressed
over the announcement of the
forthcoming tournament in May.
This may be the revival ef tha
foil in this part of the country.
Baseball Friday.
Coach Wilbur Knight's baseball
squad will open the home season
on the Muny diamond Friday
acainst the University of Missouri,
he Huskers' first conference op
ponent. The Oklahoma Sooner
were on the Nebraska schedule for
April 7 and 8 but snow forced the
cancellation of the games.
We got out our pencil and paper
and figured up the following tabu
lation of times at bat hits and
nms for the tesm on its recent
trip south. Here it is:

Nebraska's chances to score in
the discus in the coming Kansas
Relays look very bright after yes
terday's practice, in which two
Huskers registered the best heaves
T e x as Relays,
which they
have ever got.
Boh Mills and
Charley Brock
both scored
around 135 feet
c o n si s tently,
with Mills' best
going for 150
feet. Brock was
.just a foot be

Lincoln JournaI.fi e Id in the
Kansas Relays will be about the
same as it was in the Texas Re
lays. Judging by comparative per
formances. Mills and Brock should
take second and third respectively
next Saturday at Lawrence.
High Jump Close.
Probably the closest event in
the meet at Kansas will be the
high jump. In the Texas Relays.

Bill Broomfield, Southern Cali
fornia broad jumper, was second
in the lecent U. S. C.-California
dual meet, but he received a big
ger thrill out of it than did the
winner. His best mark last year
was 23 feet 6 inches not good
enough to place in a single meet
so his father offered him a new
Lincoln Zephyr for all his own if
he could do 24 feet against the
Bears Bill jumped exactly 24 feet,
one-half inch to the great satis
faction of both papa Broomfield
and himself, so now there's one
more buggy on the Southern Cal
campus.
Though this Is time to talk of
Dizzy Dean and such, that 1937
football season still pokes its
beautiful head up every so often.
Husker records show that in
only three seasons since 1900 has
Nebraska averaged fewer points
per game than In 1937. The 1918
team scored S3 points In the
short six game schedule, the
1919 schedule of eight games
produced 65 points, and the 1925
team made 69 points In eight
games, whereas last fall's team
averaged 11 points in 9 games
for 99 markers in all. The 1929

Hubbard Returns.
Bob Hubbard of Minnesota will
endeavor to repeat his victory of
last year in the broad jump, but to
do that he will have to defeat an
inspired Jud Atchison of Texas.
Atchison has become greatly an

supreme effort at the Kansas re

Friday. the Huskers will parade

and it is likely that tlie batting
will be better. They have had oiJy

who won the event as sophomores
last year have their work cut out
for them. Fourteen other universi
ties have entered teams in the
sprint medley relay and there are
some crack outfits included.
Dick Kearns of the University
of Colorado will be on hand to de
fend his decathlon championship,
but sports experts are looking out
of the corners of their eyes at sev
eral "dark horses," who they be
lieve may dethrone the Colorado
ace.
The decathlon, a gruelling ten
event contest, will draw a record
number of entrants.
Fifteen entry blanks have al
ready been received for the dec
athlon and many more which were
requested are expected to come in
durig the next several days. Dick
Kearns ot Colorado, winner of the
decathlon last year, has announced
his intention of competing again,
but like others his entry blank has
not been sent in yet.
From the Kansas Relavs came
the Olympic decathlon chamninrw
of 1932 and 1936. Jim Bausch and I

Link Lyman has chosen 14 grid

and one will rope the calf, while
the other examines the number on

the number they have been as
