Since Dave Thompson has a re
view of Husker sports written in
another " column in this psige,
we'll start out with the finish
in other words put another peg in
for Nebraska's Cornhuskers who
put a smashing end to the Husker
athletic season by snatching the
track crown off the heads of
Oklahoma, Missouri and Co.
After the Huskers lost the Min
nesota dual meet, Bob Simmons
said that they would win the Big
Six title despite their apparently
poor season, saying further that
he didn't mind being quoted on
that. Because of the fact that
things said in this column never
come true, because we didn't want
to put Bob on the spot, and be
cause we never did get around to
writing about it, Simmons' pre
diction didn't appear here. How
ever, it is a lot safer to talk about
predictions when you know it
won't do any harm.
A number of interesting de
cisions etc. came out of the
meeting of Big Six athletic di
rector! and faculty representa
tives at Ames... among them
were the denying of any school
the privilege to play ten foot
ball games a year. . .Oklahoma
wanted to add a tenth one,
Oregon, to their schedule...
However, in our own little
opinion, the ninth game on the
Sooner schedule will give the
Norman boys all the football
they want for a while... in case
you don't know whom they play
then, it's a team named Ne
braska. . .tip: next year's Big
Six track meet won't be at
Ames... also, did you notice
Missouri will replace Kansas on
the Huskers' track schedule
next year?
W. T. Howell, the Oklahoma
Sooner two-miler who sings as he
runs along in last place when he
races, looked as tho he had been
by by Elmer Hackney and Ed
Widseth after a pole vaulting
standard had beaned him... Bob
Neumann, Husker, was vaulting
. at the time, and Howell flopped
on the track as the standard hit
him... two fellows carried him off
in regulation football fashion...
big feature of the meet at Ames
was the sorority-dormitory 880 re
lay... Names of campus men,
mostly athletes, were put in a hat,
and each sorority or dorm drew
out four names, and the men
whose names they drew repre
sented them in the relay... the
girls feed their representatives for
a week preceding the big race...
what with Chuck Heileman, Ev
erett Kischer, Bronko Reuke and
. a few others in it, the boys, al
tho they weren't Paddock's, furn
ished plenty of laughs.
Three great Big Six athletes
spoke over the public address
systems Saturday. 1 John Mun
ski; said something to the effect
that he was sorry he didn't break
the record In the 880, but that
he was glad he didn't have to run
in the two mile. No. 2 Elmer
Hackney,, led. the spectators to
know the meet was one of the
few in which he didn't break a
record.. The. third, speaker and
our pick was the only boy who
SAE's get
925 points
Sig Eps finish
with 830; winners
rake five championships
When the final curtain was
drawn on the Greek intramural
circuit this spring, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon was the holder of the Jack
Best trophy with a grand total of
925 points.
Sigma Phi Epsilon, second best
of the group, lacked 95 points of
tieing the winners and the winner
was not decided until the semifi
nals of the Softball meet were
finished.
Five championships fell to the
SAE's in their victorious cam
paign to the traditional award of
the Jack Best trophy. They started
out by annexing volley ball, then
golf, class A basketball, and bas
ketball free throw in the fall end
winter season. They topped it off
this spring by winning the final
pport, softball.
Beta Theta Pi was the only
other multi-sport winner, copping
tennis and ping pong. The Sig Eps
won the opening fall sport, touch
football while the ATO's copped
water polo. Theta Xi walked off
with the class B basketball title,
Kappa Sigma won bowling, Sigma
Alpha Mu took handball and the
track laurels fell to Phi Gamma
Delta, to finish out the quota of
13 Fports.

Track, gym titles furnish NU
athletic bright spots of year
set a record, Bob Simmons. Bob
simply said he was glad to be
at Ames, thanked the announcer
for the privilege of speaking, and
said he hoped that Nebraska won
the relay and won the meet. ...
Since there's not room for any
sad farewells to close this year
we'll put in a parting word to
thank everyone, coaches, athletes,
commentators, sports writers
(even Fred Ware) general pub
lic, etc. who has helped us out
this semester. It's been fun and
I think even Freddie will admit,
that life's a lot easier when you
enjoy it.

Brightest spots in the 1938-39
Husker sports calendar were the
surprise win of the Big Six out
door track and field laurels at
Ames Saturday and the success of
the gymnastic team in the west
ern A. A. U. meet which they won,
and even that was not in confer
ence competition.
A bad early season start in foot
ball relegated the Scarlet and
Cream to an unaccustomed tie for
third and fourth with Missouri,
but the sting of that was leviated
by the brilliant finish of the sea
son. Top honors in basketball fell
elsewhere also as the Huskers
dropped to fifth position with only
Kansas State below. Indoor track
was another headache to Nebras
ka fans with fifth place again the
spot for the Huskers.
Wrestlers fourth.
With a fairly successful pre
meet schedule behind them, the
wrestling team entered the Big
Six meet and were dropped to
fourth position as Jim Knight,
star matman, was under the
weather with the flu and unable
to enter full competition.
In tennis the Nebraska repre
sentatives were more successful
Coliseum baskets must
be cleared by June 3
The coliseum locker rooms
will be open from 10-12 and 4-6
"May 24 to June 3, inclusive. All
baskets must be cleared on or
before June 3.

b
garnering a tie for second and
third with Iowa State with Harold
Rundle gaining a runner-up spot
in the first bracket singles, and
the doubles team of Reedy and
Rundle getting a similar position.
Golf a nemesis.
Golf again was a Husker
nemesis also as they were able to
garner only a fifth place In this
event. The two mile team last fall
fell to fourth place in conference
competition as Kansas State easily
won this endurance event.
Nebraska's place in baseball ts
still in the making altho the
Husker schedule is finished. The
crucial Kansas-Kansas State se
ries will determine whether we
finish in third or fourth position.
A double win for the Wildcats
would give us a firm grip on third.

FOOTBALL: Oklahoma.
BASKETBALL: Oklahoma and Kansu.
INDOOR TRACK: Mlaaourl.
