It'a one of those things we'd
rather not talk about, but since
we're a bit hard up for news to
day, and since maybe fair play de
mands it, we'll inform those who
didn't already know that tailender
in Big Six sports this year is Ne
braska. It was a little bit of a surprise
to us, for altho the Huskers had
been pretty much in a slump, we
didn't think they'd yet go down
so far as they actually are.
Counting first place as 1, sec
ond as 2, etc., Oklahoma has the
best record with 17'i points thus
far. Iowa State is second with 19,
Missouri next with 19 2, Kansas
State fourth with 21, K. U. fifth
with 23' i, and, bringing up the
.rear is N. U. with 25.
A press release from Kansas
State reports Nebraska as second
in swimming, and Oklahoma third,
giving the Sooners 18 ',2, and Ne
braska 24', 2. However, as this de
partment rememberst, the Soon
ers edged out the Huskers for sec
ond. Here is the point chart:
O.V. M.U. I S. K.S. K.U. N.U.
Football ...1 3',i 2 5 6 3',i
Basketball l'i IVi 4 8 3 5
Two miles ..6 2 4 1 3 5
WestllnK ...3 5 Vi 2 - S14 4
Indoor track 4 1 6 3 2
Swimming 2 6 1 5 4 2
TolaU 17V4 19 Vi 19 21 23' 25
Oklahoma's record looks all the
better when it's taken into con
sideration that its two poorest
marks come in two mile and in
door track, both sports which are
really parts of a bigger sport,
track, rather than major sports in
themselves.
Funny thing about the standings
is that Nebraska, in last place, 13
the only school which hasn't fin
ished in last place in any sport
this year. Missouri's two last
places which came in swimming,
and wrestling, however, were sim
ply because the Tigers failed to
enter in those sports. The Huskers
ars the only school other than
Kansas, however, to go without a
sports crown up to this point.
Down in Dixie they start play
ing football games even before
August. Duke and Clemson have
a scrimmage at the end of every
spring drill season, and this year
the Blue Devils won 26-20. George
McAfee, Duke sprinting halfback,
led the winners, but a big noise of
the game was one Buddy Banker
of Clemson, a long lanky passer,
whose actions caused Wallace
Wade to tab him as one of 1939's
best.
The Duke-Clemson game is usu
ally a high scoring one. Last
spring, altho Duke won, Clemson
scored four touchdowns against
them, and, if you recall, those
were the only 1938 touchdowns
scored against the Blue Devils
that U. S. C. one came Jan. 2,
1939.
Frank " Buck" Bukaty. K. U.,
athlete, withdrew from the race
for junior class president at Law
rence because of the "political con
flict coming about thru my poni
tion as secretary of the "K" club"
....St. Mary's college tromped

bowled games of 189 and 168 for
a 357 total.
The Sig Alphs dumped Acacia
from the running 1618-1468, as
Paul Brown turned in the evening's
high game, 221, which paired with
his 161, gave him a 382 mark. His
teammate, Bill Buchanan, how
ever, had the best total of the
match, adding a 179 to the 211 he
turned in for the first game. Mar
vin Tlock was best for. the losers

realize what a student without
sight Is up against in a great uni

together on readers. These Braille
books will prove a real life saver
to all of us." ,

comes to naming his outfit. Of the
more than 20 days practice the
Husker candidates have had, only
four were out of doors.
Permitted to nominate only 14
men, Knight said that he will
likely be forced to name the ten
who had varsity experience last
year plus an additional four from
the 50 odd hopefuls left. Five let
termen who are sure to make the
trip are Rube Denning, Emerald;
Lloyd Schmadeke, Newman Grove,
Dow Wilson, Dow City, la., and
