Your regular columnist and new
sports editor of the "Rag" being
on the sick list on the first day
of her reign over this worthy
page, I find myself in this envied
spot as sports columnist.
Nebraska lifted itself from the
conference cellar last night by
virtue of the 51 to 44 upset of
Iowa State. Kansas State holds
the botton position alone now un
til it meets the Huskers here Feb.
8. A victory for Nebraska then
would knot Kansas and Nebraska
in a tie for third place. Nebraska
not only raised its own position
by winning from the Cyclones, but
at the same time knocked Iowa
State out of a tie for first place,
leaving Missouri to rule alone.
The Big Six outdoor track and
field events will be held at Iowa
State college Instead of at Ne
braska as was previously an
nounced. The only reason given
for the change was that the sta
dium here does not offer a 220
yard straight away.
Nebraska's minor sports get
uuo run swing early next month
with Pete Hagelin's mermen open
ing a three meet trip against Carl
ton college of Northfield, Minn.
Friday. The swimmers meet Gus
taphus Adolnhus college at St
Peter, Minn., on Saturday, and the
university or Minnesota at Minne
apolis on Monday. The gymnastic
team oDens its schedule n pains t-
the University of Minnesota vet
eran ieam at me ixmseum.
"Pop" Warner, for 44 years
coach of some of the finest foot
hall teams in the nation, has re
signed his position as head coach
of the Temple university Owls.
Pop" the inventer of the hidden
hall play and the Warner system
has no definite plans for the fu
ture, but indicated that he would
accept an offer to aid "Tiny"
Thornhill at Stanford university.
The Big Six will be represented
in the Wanamaker mile in New
York Saturday night by John
Munski, Missouri's sensational col
legiate mller. John will be run
ning to beat Glenn Cunningham,
great Kansas runner whose praise,
of Munski resulted in his bid to
run in that capable field of run
ner. Up to date Munski has
broken four out of five of Cun
ningham's Big Six records falling
only in the outdoor mile. Good
luck John.
Meet the sports editor, boys
j J..'.',
Athletes, mind your manners:
Miss June Bierbower, Giltner senior and
Dally Nebraskan sport writer for the
pant four semesters, will edit the "Rag"
port rage starting today.
Small and hatel-eyed, the young en
thiulait packs a lethal wallop In her
fingers whenever she sits down at a type
writer. No football players will dare tosa
her out of any game, and for once, there
may be more truth than poetry In Ne
braskan sport columns.
"As I See It," a regular "Rag" feature
for more than a year now, will take over
the left hand column of the sport page
and for the first time in the history of
the Nebraskan, readers will heed the com
ment of a woman sport a. editor.
June has appeared on John Bentley's
"I May Be Wrong" broadcast and has
been quoted on numerous occasions in the
Journal commentator's column. Her infinite
knowledge of the details connected with
all sports rank her as somewhat of an authority.
