THE DAILY NEBRASKAN A Thursday, May 23, 1940 Nebraska, A and M meet to be aired Brooks to race Efaw in standout mile race Saturday V A V ITflTTl TTITT1 n M If ! By June Bierbower. All our colleagues, we Bee, are writing swan songs. Oh, yes, watch for ours next Tuesday, be fore you forget. To get back to our colleagues, though, listen to these words of wisdom uttered by our old pal Frank Spence down at Oklahoma who has done some fine writing for the Oklahoma Daily. Spence says, in his last col umn of the year: "I fell from the predictor's limb more than once during my reign, but I will still wager that Okla homa won't be the carpet for any Big Six team next season. And that includes the Nebraska Corn husker football team." Now, Frank, just who said the Soonera would be playing door mat? Still clipping the exchanges. Here's a Why Rub It In Item gleaned from Jim Bell's Rock Chalk Talk in the Daily Kansan: "F. D. R.'s offer of cabinet posts to prominent Republicans is Just about the same thing as the Ne braska football coach asking KU players if they wouldn't like to play on the Husker team in a Kansas-Nebraska game and be on the winning side for a change." Four gals' baseball games slated today ; Intra-mural baseball games to a played today at 5 o'clock are: Chi Omega 1 vs. Gamma Phi Bota, Kappa Kappa Gamma 2 vs. Wil son Hall, Kappa Delta vs. Alpha Chi Omega and Independents vs. Alpha Phi. Tennis round to end First round of the girls' intra mural tennis tournament, both pingles and doubles, must be fin ished by Sunday evening. 5 fit 3 ft Swim Suits KIlurf-iM-rfrrt awlm nulla In ryr ralrhlng rulnra.

The entire meet is not going to be aired, but several of the out standing performances will be. Thruout the afternoon at various intervals resumes of the events will be announced. This is the first time a dual meet has been put on the air from Memorial Stadium, al tho several of the Big Six meets have been. Record is 4:22.9. The first race Saturday is the mile, in which there is every rea son to believe, conditions being fa vorable, Nebraska's miler Harold Brooks will lower the ex isting varsity record of 4:22.2 made in 1937 by both Freddie Mattson and Wilson Andrews. He will run against Forrest Efaw, the Aggies' great distance man. Last week, he came out with a 4:29.5 mile on the water cov ered track, returning later to win the 2-mile in a slower time. In ad dition, Oklahoma has a great run- j ner in Hershel Burruss, who plac i ed in three events at the Missouri I Valley meet .winning the quarter j mile, taking second in the half- nine aim loiuui in me uroau jump. Efaw, it will he remembered, took part in the Junior AAU championships held here in Lin coln last July 3rd. and won the 3,000 meters steeplechase in the excellent time of 9:42.2.

The "Oscar" awards, given in a spirit of fun, were presented by Barbara Birk to Warren Brainard, Grace Elizabeth Hill, John Pruden, Art Kleinhans, Max Whittaker, and Betty Lou Rangclcr.

The Buffalos are Big Seven champions, the Rocky Mountain league, and have a con ference record of no defeats in eight starts. It would certainly be a feather in the cap of the Huskers if they were to finish off the season with a victory or two against the Buffs. Games with the freshmen were the order of work for the Huskers for the first three days of this week, but a light practice to top off the workouts will be sufficient for today. Coach Wilbur Knight has named Sid Held and Bob Searle as the two pitchers to see starting serv ice againt Colorado. The Buffalos will rely on Ray Hartmann, John Pudlik, and Ed Mele. Verne Geissinger. Five satirical skits were given on Players' pro ductions of the season: "McBeth," "Gentle People," "What a Life," "Our Town." and "Dodsworth." Another slut incorporated a satire of all five. Curtain acts were by Louis Wilkins, Betty Lou Wentz, and Rosemary Owens. Also given was a modern version of "Romeo and Juliet."
