DAILY NEBRASKAN
Alfson lands on AP All-America
I 'it &uwa
A. very high complimentary clip
ping from the sports editor of the
Oklahoma Daily, Sooner collegiate
paper, concerning Nebraska's go
ing to the Rose Bowl la as follows:
"I can safely say that ev-

schools will be pulling for
those Cornhuskers in their lit
tle tussle against Clark
Shaughnessy'8 boys on New
Year's day.
"The Huskers have one of
the best elevens In the nation.
Stanford will have the tough
est struggle of ttielr lives try
ing to halt a team coached by
one of the smartest head men
tors in the midwest. Just ask
any Oklahoma fan who knows
anything about the game of
football.
"And just think how the
prestige of the Big Six con
ference will go up if the
Huskers make a good show
ing! Yes, the Nebraska bid
to the 1941 Rose Bowl is just
about the biggest thing that
has happened to our little
conference."
Those are kind words, Sooner
Bill Morrison. I'm sure all Ne
braskans appreciate such writing
and are glad we have supporters
down Oklahoma way.
Bev Finkle, Nebraska sports en
thusiast now in New York, sends
along some clippings from the na
tion's largest city. Besides himself,
Finkle claims that Radio An
nouncer Bill Stern of CBS and
John Kieran, 'Information Please"
and sports editor of the New York
Times are Nebraska's strongest
boosters back there.
Tim Cohane in the N. Y.
World Telegram wrote, ". . .
Now Nebraska knows how
Cinderella felt." Joe Williams
in the World Telegram writes,
"The Major (Biff Jones) was
one of the best coaches Army
ever had, and he's expanded
with passing years. He isn't
going all the way out to Pasa
dena for Myrna Loys auto
graph. He'll throw a handful
of pretty fair footballers at
the California's . .
According to the Kansas State
Collegiate paper, Nebraska rates
the cellar in the Big Six basket
ball loop this winter ... In addi
tion, its sports editor goes on to
say that "Although they have the
tallest squad in the conference, the
boys are learning their basketball
from a new coach this year and
the team as a whole does not have
any outstanding Individual per
formers." ...
It'll be getting fair and warmer
for the Husker footballers soon. . .
Definite training headquarters en-
route to the Pacific coast will be
at Phoenix, Ariz. ... On Dec. 19,
the squad will leave Lincoln at 8
p. m. and will arrive in Phoenix
two days later on Saturday at
9:30 a. m. ...

Frat volleyball
into semi-final
playoff rounds
Another phase of fraternity in
tramural activities is now prac
tically completed. That phase is
volleyball and it is within one
game of being finished. After this
game is played, league 2 will have
a winner and then the four leagues
can get together in a final play
off.
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta
Upsilon have almost a champion
ship to play off between them
selves when they get together this
week to decide the number one
team of league 2. Each has won
four and lost none thus making
this an interesting tilt.
In league 1 Phi Kappa Psi
Sodaks beat
Huskers extra
periods, 40-39
VERMILLION, S. D. It took
the University of South Dakota
two extra periods before turning
back the Nebraska quintet here
Friday night to win 40-39 in the
season's inaugural for both teams.
At the end of the regular play
ing time the score was knotted at
31-all. Sid Held's bucket tied the
game 37 seconds before the end of
the playing period, and a last
minute fielder by Burton Anderson
cinched the game for the Coyotes.
Don Fitz had a chance to tie the
score again with 12 seconds re
maining, but missed a free shot,
and the scoring was over.
Fitz high man.
Both teams took it easy and
slow in the first half. The Huskers
held a 5-2 first quarter lead and a
13-11 advantage at the intermis
sion. As the game got to rolling,
the Coyotes held a third period
ieaa or Z3-zi.
High scoriner honors for the eve
ning went to Howard Taplett,
South Dakota sophomore guard,
with 16 points, while Don Fitz
counted 11 for the Huskers. Soph
omore Max Young sifted through
lv ana sia Heia 8 for the rest of
the principal Husker scores. The

breezed through all competition
winning their league by a final
score of five wins against no
losses. The Phi Psis won from
Sigma Alpha Mu, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Alpha Tau Omega, Theta
Xi and Beta Theta PL
Kappa Sigma with an evenly
balanced team advanced through
five stiff games without a setback,
deserving a chance at the fratern
ity intramural crown.
In league 4, winning four and
losing one, Alpha Gamma Rho
went into the playoffs as the
league representative. The finals
will be between Phi Kappa Psi,
Kappa Sigma, Alpha Gamma Rho
and either Delta Upsilon or Sigma
