Nebraska fans will see two of
last year's Big Six swimming
champs in action today as Eugene
Armstrong and Captain George
Haldeman perform for the Iowa
State Cyclones. Haldeman, breast
stroke champion and record hold
er, has already bettered the mark
he set last season in the confer
ence meet.
The Cyclones, who will be fa
vored to win over Nebraska by
virtue of a defeat of Gustavus
Adolphus, conquerors of the Husk
ers, will probably go on to win the
Big Six meet here three weeks
hence. Missouri doesn't have a
team, while Kansas, Kansas State
and Oklahoma have never pre
sented sufficient strength to figure
in the championship. The Sooners,
tho, have built up swimming in
terest down in Norman because of
their new pool, and might come
thru with a surprise or two.
Huskers fans will see for the
first time Ted Legate, sprint star,
and Ralph Worden, diver, sopho
mores who figured prominently in
Nebraska scoring on the recent
Minnesota trip. Iowa State has a
new diver, LeRoy Carr, and
sophomore 60 yard freestyler,
Roger Adams, who have been fig
uratively burning up the water for
the Cyclones, so we shall see what
we shall see.
In tomorrow night's wrestling
match, there's one thing certain,
and that is that Iowa State, after
Wednesday night's developments,
will come into the meet with
plenty of respect for the Huskers
. . . Jim Knight's opponent, Ray
Stone, is from Fort Dodge, home
of All American Ed Bock, and
from Ames publicity reports, he's
about as tough as Bock . . .
Knight, whose victory Wednesday
gave him 115'2 points, looks well
nigh invincible in this branch of
the bushes, though.
Harwin Dawson, despite prev
ious reports, will be in Saturday's
track meet against Kansas, altho
he won't compete in his specialty,
the broad jump. Dawson will en
ter the 60 and the low hurdles.
Return of Bob Morris to track
wars should feature the Meet to
morrow. Bob, you'll remember,
was state high mile record holder
until Gilbert Dodds broke his rec
ord two years ago, and has an
other year of competition. Illness
kept him out last year, but Mor
ris is bac k in shape now, and altho
he is In medical school at Omaha,
has been doing outside road work
with boxer Bob Venner to keep
in trim.
Nebraska's first gymnastic meet
will give Huskers a Jook at one of
this section's best gym teams, the
Minnesota Gophers, who boast a
Big Ten champion, and a national
collegiate runnemp. Incidentally,
the first home triangular gymnas
tic meet In history for Nebraska
Is coming up soon. Colorado, Iowa
U. and the Huskers will compete.
Camp assignments made
by military department
Summer camp assignments for
the regular army officers have
been announced by the military
department. On duty at Fort
Crook, which opens July 15 for in
fantry students, will be Majors
J. U. Ayotte, J. A. Shaw and S. J.
Meyers.
Fort Riley, Kas., opening on
July 22, will be the destination
of field artillery and engineering
students, with MaJ. W. 'R. Thllip
and Capt. R. E. Cruse attending.

Visitors have Big Ten
king, national runnerup
The Husker gymnastic team
held their last workout Thursday
in preparation for their season
opener against the Minnesota
squad Saturday afternoon on the
coliseum stage. The meet is set to
start at 2 o'clock.
The Nebraska team will be de
cided underdogs, what with the
Gophers boasting a Big Ten cham
pion in James Hafey, and a Na
tional Collegiate runnerup in Cur

Both outfits will enter more
than three men for each event but
only a trio may count in the final
reckoning. Instead of counting the
total points of each performer for
the final score as was the case in
former meets, only the three high
est men in each event will be
scored, as in a track meet.
Hafey, Lynum. Wolfenson and
Ronning are lettermen for the in
vading bunch, while Roy Proffitt
and Gay Cadwell are the only vet
