r i PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY NEBRASKAN. WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1938 - ..J ; 'A - ,v' .V,-i-i. '4 I ' -. V - 9S&SL 91 This one is supposed to be true. It happened two years ago after Kansas had had a fairly good foot ball season, and was, as usual, strong in basketball. A K. U. stu dent was going to hitch hike home for some vacation or week end, I don't remember which, so bor rowed a "K" sweater from a friend of his who was a Jayhawk letter man, thinking, of course, it would help him get a ride. He thumbed every car that passed, but not one, either from Kansas or from outside the state, even slowed down. The sun began to get hot, to he took off the sweater. You guessed it, the very next car he thumbed stopped for him. Southern Cal's varsity line av . eraged 217 pounds from tackle .to tackle the other day in a scrlm jnage, but two little 190 pound ,"ends took the average down some what. McNeil, the center, was the midget of the 200 pounders, weigh ,lng 205. Smith and . Sohn, the guards, weighed 219 and 235, while Steicker, of the Mason City, la., Steickers, weighed 215 at one tackle, and George, the other tack le weighed 216. Kansas university's varsity won . from a squad of alumni supple mented by varsity and freshman performers, 13-7. in the last spring game Saturday. The winners .had the game well in hand all the way despite the close score, having had one touchdown called back. Coach Lindsey thought the squad "looked pretty good," and said, "We've got a lot more speed than in the last few years." Ed Hall, freshman fullback, Dick Amerine and Milt Sullivant, veteran halfbacks, Ralph Miller, first year halfback, Dave Shirk, star of two years ago, and Monte Merkel, 240 pound fresh man tackle, were among the stand outs for the 1938 team. Under Pitt's new athletic policy, boys who compete in college ath letics must have passing grades at 'all times in "bona fide studies-'-not physical education." So for the first time in history of man or so it seems Pitt is reported to 'be worrying about ineligibility. 'Nearly a dozen gridiron prospects are Ineligible now, altho they may bring their grades up for next fall. The program also abolishes schol arships for jobs, prohibits coaches from Interviewing prospective players off me campus; evem.ua.ij will limit the schedule to eight games and practice to two hours, and bars a student from competi tion after he has received a col legiate degree. Nebraska's four football play ing baseball team members, out fielders Dohrmann, English, and Andrews, and first baseman Amen, were quite in the picture Saturday. Amen and English scored the two runs, Amen when the Kansas State shortstop kicked Dohrmann s grounder, and English on Dehr mann's single. Dohrmann had three hits, English two, and Amen one. for six of eight hits. Lowell hit the only Husker triple and Elmer made the only Nebraska double. Andrews and English each made an assist from the outfield. On the other side of the ledger, Dohrmann made two errors, and Amen and Andrews one apiece. For the Aggies, the winning pitch er was halfback Jim Brock Satur day, and guard Ed Klimek Friday, to make it quite a football series.

Cinder Coach Schulte finally missed a day of practice, the first one in a long time. Schulte was having a tooth pulled yesterday, and turned things over to his as sistants, . Har old Petz, Ed Weir, and Char ley Stout. With the state high school track meet only a week from next Saturday, a large number of high school cin dermen has been working out on the Hus ker track, scene of the meet. Men were pres ent yesterday HFNRY Sf.HIIITF Lincoln Journal from Lincoln High, Havelock. and rinv nntr with the Lincoln High delegation the largest. One of the most outstanding men on the Lincoln team this year is big Vic Schlelch, football star and weight man. Schleich is expected by many to set a new shot put record in the prep meet if competi tion is keen enough. He has heaved the 12 pound weight over 50 feet consistently this year. The state record is slightly over 52 feet. Schleich also throws the discus. Winners Last Year. A squad of 20 Huskers will go to Lawrence the latter part of this week for the annual triangu lar meet with Kansas U and Kan sas State. The Cornhuskers piled up 63 points to win last year. Kan sas was second with 56 and the Aggies trailed with 43. The squad will be the same as the one which competed in the Drake Relays last weekend, with the addition of eight men. The Drake squad In cluded Harwin Dawson, Bob Simmons, El wood Pankonin, Wilson An drews, Al Kup er, Ray Baxter, Bob Nelmann, Eldon Frank, BOB MILLS Lincoln Journal. Bill Pfeiff, Charley Brock, and Bob Mills. Added to this group for the Kansas invasion are Verl Athey, Jack Dodd, Bill Gish, Paul Owen, Al Monson, Elmer Dohr mann, Roy Uatch, and Milo Hejkal. Eight men on this team scored In the triangle, a year ago. Wilson Andrews tied with a Husker team mate at 4:24.1 in the mile. John Brownlee accounted for a first in the two mile. Bob Simmons took a close third in the 440 and Al Kuper managed a fourth in the 880. Bill Gish scored a third in the high hurdles, and Mills a third in the shot. Elmer Dohrmann's best heave was good for a second In the Jave lin. Neumann tok two places; fourth In the broad Jump, and third In the pole vault. Record Breakers. Seven new records were hung up and one old one tied in last year's meet, which was run off after a rain. Sam Francis and Lloyd Cardwell, accounted for four of these new marks,' two were estab lished and one tied by Kansas U men, and one set by a K-Stater. Francis' 52 feet 11 inches in the shot put and 148 feet 11 inches in the discus both eclipsed the former records in these events. SAM FRANCIS Cardwell Lincoln Joumsl. topped the high hurdles in :15.2 and the lows in :23.4 in setting his' records. Wildcat Jim Jensen clipped four tenths of a second from the old 440 mark, winning it in :48.8. Jake Richardson, Jayhawk sprint. lowered the 220 mar from :22 to :20.9, and tied the century record of :09.8. Ray Noble cleared the bar at 13 feet 1 and 7. Inches to push the pole vault record way up. Saturday's meet is expected to be a strong Indication as to how the conference meet, slated here May 20 and 21. will run. The Wildcats are doped by many to give Nebraska its hardest fif,ht. The K-Aggies dropped a close one to the Huskers on the Indoor track this spring. This meet was not decided until the last vcnt, the mile relay had been run off. Ne braska won that and the meet with It. Missouri Headache. The team most feared by Schulte Is Missouri. Oklahoma defeated Nebraska In the first dual meet of the outdoor season, but the strongest opposition for the title defenders is expected to come from Missouri and Kansas State. The Huskers came out of the Drake Relays in fine shape. No Injuries were received by any of the team, and several former inju ries are healing. John Brownlee severely bruised his right foot about a week ago and expected it to give him some trouble In' the meet. However, Brownlee ran the fastest half mile that he lias ever turned In, getting the time of 1:55.9 from a running start Bill Pfleff was one of ten qual ifiers In the shot put finals, and now threatens to take third In the Big Six meet. Pfleff says that he will do it It a 46 foot heave Is good enough. Only two men have consistently beaten that toss this year, Elmer Hackney, K-State i I. M.J SflMaWBBShkSNWSSMjb mi ) Is. V... pride, and Nebraska's Bob Mills, the only ones in the conference who beat that mark regularly. Dohrmann Back. Saturday's meet marks the re turn of Elmer Dohrmann to com petition. He has spent most of his time so far with the baseball team, but from now on will divide his time between the cinders and the diamond. Dohrmann took fourth in the conference last year with a heave of 179 feet 2 i inches. Jack Dodd will also be making his first appearance on the outdoor track. Dodd spent the first few weeks of outdoor drill with the fotball team, and was kept out of the Drake meet by a recent vaccination. Bill Gish, who was left home from the Des Moines trip at his own request, is expected to go to Lawrence. Another freshman telegraph meet will be held the week of the state track meet. The Nebraska first year men will probably run off their share of the meet as a part of one of their tri-color meets oh Wednesday, May 11. The Minnesota team will probably take their times from those set up on May 14. The top three perform ances in each event by each team will be considered as a part of the telegraphic. In the first of these meets, held indoors, the Minnesota frosh won handiiy. Coach Browne Lays Stress on Out of Bound Plays for Second Game. Basketball practice, which Is half over, has been running smoothly undei' the tutelage of Coach W. H. Browne, who sent nis 18 charges thru a stiff workout last night in preparation for the second practice game to take place either Wednes day or Friday evening.

The redshirts consisted of Eldon Nuernberger, Irvin Yaffe, Don Fitz, Jimmy Tay lor, and Harry Pttcaithley. Other men out for practice and in on this breezy workout were Ralph Ogle, Fred Uhlman, Lloyd Grimm, Bob Therien, Leonard Dun- ker, Bruce Duncan, Carl Hanson and Jack Jackson.

By Paul Dobbins. The University Fencing tourna ment scheduled for May 12 has all the earmarks of becoming a first class exhibition of the finesse of the game, interesting both for par ticipants and spectators. All the men have showed a great deal of pep in practice lately and are looking forward to the meet with a good deal of enthusiasm. Altho some of the men who have entered the meet lack any great amoifrit of experience they are making up for this lack by extra hard work which promfses to make the matches plenty tough for the veterans. 3 Experienced Men. Eight men have entered the tournament. Heading the list of en tries, by virtue of experience are Steve Wimberly, Bill Crittenden and Tom Andrews. Each of these three men has had at least four years of fencing, Wimberly and Crittenden at this university and Andrews at U. C. L. A. Others who will take part In the meet are; Walderman "Speed" Mueller, who is a three year man, Bob Mattson, Leonard Jacobson, Tom Bodie and Jack Sampson. There is still plenty of time for any who wish to enter the tourna ment to do so. Those in charge have declared that they hope there will be at least twelve men in the meet and more if possible. The meet will take place on the main floor of the coliseum from 4 to 6 p. m. Their will be no admission charged.

His best mark this year jivas 201 feet registered at the Texas relays in the early part of April. Since the relays Frank has been sort of in a bat ting slump being confined to tosses of around 190 feet or bet ter for the rest of the season. With Frank's return to the 200 foot class, Husker hopes for a first in the Big Six track and field cham pionships are much better. Wal dram of Missouri has thrown the spear this season 213 feet 4 inches and Pritchard of Oklahoma has also made good marks. The Javelin throw should develop Into an Interesting fight. The triangular meet at Law rence this week end with Kansas and Kansas State will amount to a test meet for the Big Six when eight indoor track and field cham pions will compete. Coach Schulte will be depending upon about eight men to capture the individual championships, but at this date chances that these men will finish first are very slim. Bob Simmons, the reigning champion indoors in the 440, has already met defeat outdoors when Finley paced the distance in 48.9 in the first dual meet of the sea son. Gish and Frank should have it all their own way in the hurdle events since no outsider has van quished cither of them in Big Six competition, but they have taken turns in winning the stick events. As far as anyone can be certain, these two men are the only two on the squad that are reasonably certain of capturing a first place crown for the Huskers. Which of the two will win in either of the hurdle events, is unpredictable. T:idon Frank is good for about a third in the Javelin. Harwin Dawson of Nebraska should be In the money when the broad Jump is run off. The Husker has finished high in both the Kan sas and Drake relays, taking sec ond place in both meets. At the K. U. games, Dawson placed sec ond to Hubbard of Minnesota with a leap of 23 feet 10 inches and at Drake he placed second to Jud Atchison who chalked up a mark of 24 feet 8 inches. Brownlee Meet Old Rival. Brownlee will meet an old rival in Charlie Mitchell. Mitchell wears the colors of Kansas State and pulled an upset by defeating the Husker in the conference meet last year and repeated in the in door go. Brownlee has been turn ing in some fast times in his events recently and should be in shape to give Mitchell a go for his money. Mills, champion shot putter, will not be able to beat Elmer Hackney of Kansas State unless the Husker plants the iron ball on the tall end of a prairie windstorm. Ray Baxter. Nebraska's high jumper, has not been defeated in conference circles but has been ALL-UNIVERSITY TUMBLING IE! SETNEXT WEEK Winners of Various Events on May 12 to Receive Medal Awards. An all university gymastic meet, scheduled to take place on Thurs day, May 12 at 8 p. m. at the coli seum, has all the promise of be coming an event of considerably more than ordinary interest In the realm of sports. The meet, in which all men ex cept members of the varsity gym nastic squad are eligible to com pete, will feature all the strong arm and clever balancing feats that the acrobats and will-be acro bats of the team are capable of, which seems to be a considerable number. Work on Bars. Main events will include work on the parallel and horizontal bars, tumgllng, work on side horse, rings, and Indian clubs. Medals will be given to the three best men in all events and to the all-around champion, the man who wins the largest number of events. There are 15 entrants In the meet. They are: Stan Southwlck, Gene Beck, Jacob Geier, Kenneth McAferty, Fred Sukup, Don Seidel, Jim Taylor, Bill Crittenden, Sal Idge, Bill Pfeiff, Harold Scott, Alvln May, Jack Dodd, Bob Neu man and Fred Egley. tied on the crossbar. Mehaffey of Kansas State was the man. Even if the Husker team is at its best they will have a long after noon on May 21. Both Missouri and Oklahoma have strong teams and Kansas State has a number of individual stars altho the Wild cast do not muster much team strength. Letters to the Scribes.

With the suddenness of a Kan sas tornado, Nebraska's luckless baseballer turned on a little power and blasted the Jayhawks off of the diamond. It's unbelievable but it's true. The score was 6-3 In favor of the Scarlet. Nebraska made all of its runs in one inning, the fifth, and the Jayhawks at tempted a last minute rally in the final frame when Kenneth Wiley, a pinch hitter, clouted a homer. Two men scored ahead of Wiley and it looked like the Huskers were in hot water, but Ivan Bor man settled down and got the re maining Kansans out of the way. The Huskers gathered 10 hits, and 2 errors while Kansas had 9 sametles and 4 mistakes. Schmad eke started for Nebraska and was relieved by Borman, while Brass began the hurling for Kansas to be assisted by Kloppenberg.

Barney Oldfield Labels Writers of Accusing Anonymous Letters as Columnist's Worst Nightmare By Charlotte Snyder. "Gutless wonders who make brave accusations but haven't backbone enough to sign their names to their Indictments, are the great scourge of the newspaper columnist," says Nebraska State Journal amusement Editor Barney Oldfield. In a personal interview, the movie critic revealed that It was not the temperamental Hollywood actress that was the bane of the feature writer of today. Rather, he said, it is that species of mankind who personally constitutes himself the criterion of good newspaper writing, and in an anonymous let ter to the editor, vents his spleen on the reporter. Holds World's Movie Record. Oldfield, who has recently re turned from a personal appearance on the Lux Radio theater in Holly wood, holds the world's record for the number of movies seen in the past two years. He saw every pic ture released in 1936 and 1937. While in the movie capital, Old field wrote a dally column for the Nebraska State Journal. When asked about the difficulties of in terviewing a famous person, he said celebrities are little different from anyone else. The most famous of the stars when they give per sonal interviews, are accompanied by press agents. However, he went on to say, the only thing to re member is not to let yourself be come excited during an Interview. If you do so, the person whom you are Interviewing is apt to become nervous too, and the interview will have little value. A calm .exterior plus an ordinarily pleasant per sonality, is the main requisite for conducting a successful interview. Never Take Notes. "Personally, I never take notes," says Oldfield, "unless it is neces sary to record actual statistics. The important points in an Interview are apt to be lost If too much time is spent In taking down the un important. Feminine curiosity about the successful wiles of her more fa mous sisters in movieland decide what Oldfield puts into his col umn, rather than the belief that male readers are the only sex in terested in curves and feminine appeal. All women in their pur suit for the male desire to ap pear as feminine and delightful as possible, according to Oldfield. Cinema sirens have set the pres ent day pattern to achieve sex consciousness, and every feminine reader desires the knowledge necessary to gain her personal ends. Sought by Shirley Temple.

When seen interviewing a celebrity in Lin coin, Oldfield finds himself sud denly the possessor of many "friends" whose brother's wife's sister-in-law's nephew wants an audition for something or other. While his work has occasional thrills, it also has all the annoy ances and trials of any Job. It is not a part of the show business, but it is the closest approach pos sible. Many of the Hollywood, great got their start as newspa permen. Member of Tent Crew. The story of Barney Oldfield'g life reads like an Horatio Alger book. Arriving in Lincoln from Elk Creek. Neb. in 1928 as a member of the tent crew of a cir cus, he took his summer's sav ings and enrolled in the univer sity. Going to school in the morning, he spent the rest of the day earning his living at odd Jobs as they came along. His first actual newspaper experience came as an apprentice to Cy Sherman of the Lincoln Star during the football season of his sophomore year in college. Six months on the staff of any newspaper is worth twice as much to the would-be journalist as a diploma from any journalism college. It Is a tough racket, only for the strong. If you want an easy complacent existence, con cluded Oldfield, stay out of the newspaper busmcss. If a man is made of dust, why the Samhill doesn't he dry up sometime?
