Head Track Coach Ed Weir an
nounced last week that the Uni
versity of Nebraska had signed a
two-year home and home series of
track meets with the University
ot caiitorma,
at Berkeley.
The first
meet will fea
ture the Corn
husker cinder
team , going to
the Pacific
coast school on
April 19 for a
dual m e e t.
Then in 1942.
the Bears will
send a track
squad to com
pete Hgainst
the H u s k e r s
here in Lincoln.
The signing of the California
dual meet necessitates the with
drawal of the Cornhuskers from
the Kansas Relays which wilt be
held the same week end as the
Bruin match.
This meeting will mark again
the rivalry between two of the na
tion's foremost quarter-milcrs. Ne
braska's "Red" Littler will be up
against the Bear record breaker
Grover Klemmer.
The California speedster was
ranked No. 1 by the A AU offi
cials last year over the 440 yard
course. Klemmer won the AAU
400-meter run last year when he
was a freshman.
Klemmer registered an official
lime of 47 seconds over the one
lap route and has been clocked in
46. i seconds. The world record Li
46 4 held by Ben Eastman and set
in 1932. Littler's best official time
is also 47 seconds flat.
Industry needs
EK graduates
Greatest demand for electrical
engineers in years is reported by
O. E. Edison, associate professor
in charge of placements for the
department. Of the IS electrical
engineering students who gradu
ate this year, seven have definite
ly signed contracts with firms,
while others have received offers,
some have received offers from
several companies, but have not
yet signed with any.

Sooner cinder
aces prep for
indoor season
NORMAN. Okla. John Jacobs,
Oklahoma track coach, is quietly
at work these days with a small,
tidy indoor track squad that in
cludes five lettermen.
The Sooners open their season
Feb. 22 when they move against
powerful Nebraska at Lincoln
and while, like the Finns trying
to hold off the Russian horde,
they cannot hope to defeat
Coach Ed Weir's formdiable
Cornhusker juggernaut, they
hope to extend Nebraska in sev
eral events and season their
small compact squad for the
Big Six meet.
Oklahoma apparently has lost
George Koettol, skinny Big Six
100 and 220 yards champion, who
wired Jacobs that he was passing
tip a final season of competition
here to hold his job in a California
airplane factory.
The returning Sooner power
will be in the 60 yards dash with
Orville Mathews, the 440 and
880 yards runs with Bill Lyda,
the two-mile run with Dick
Smethers, the broad jump with
Tommy Harrison and in the pole
vault with Harry Fonder.
Only two sophomores stack up
as possible point-getters in early
training workouts, low hurdler
Archie Walker and middle dis
tance man Jack Denton.

Lincoln Journal.
Eugene "Red" Littler, speedy
Husker dashman, has been de
clared eligible for Big Six com
petition this spring afte: a tech
nicality had been cleared govern
ing conference
athletic rules.
Over winter
vacation, Lit
tler entered in
a 440 yard run
in the Sugar
Bowl carnival
at New Orleans.
For competition
outside of the
league, it is ne
cessary to re
ceive Big Six
consent.
Dean T. J.
Thompson took
full responsibil
ity for the over
sight. Thomp
son had to declare Littler inelig
ible and then asked the conference
officials for a reinstatement of
Littler.
Wednesday, Thompson an
nounced that the poll was com
pleted and all schools graciously
voted to reinstate unanimously.
Dean Thompson said, "It waa
thru no fault of the boy that this
happened. I take full responsibility
for the technical oversight."
Gamma Delta measured Delta
Sigma Pi by a 15-11 count with
Gerry Spahn and Al Artman get
ting 6 apiece for the winners and
Hub Knickrehm 5 for the defeated.
Delta Tau Delta beat Sigma Al
pha Mu, 18-7. Dick Ohilds got 6
to lead the Delta. Xi Psi Phi led
by Max Cory with 10 points won
from Beta Sigma Tsi, 19-10. Sig
ma Phi Epsilon squeezed out a 12
10 victory over Kappa Sigma. Sig
ma Nu beat Alpha Gamma Hho
12-7.
In class B, Alpha Tau Omega
beat Delta Upsilon, 12-9, and Farm
House won over Delta Tau Delta,
10-7.
We'uns, the scribblers on the
Nonpariel (DAILY NEBRAS
KAN), hereby challenge you'uns
(the Cornhusker) to a game of
basketball. At least that's what
we call it. We figure youse prob
ably have another name for it.
Anyhoo, being of sound minds
and extremely good sports, we
feel that we should give youse
a chance to get even, at least
on paper, for the disastrous and
humiliating massacre we planted
upon youse in football last fall.
We understand, natcherly, that
youse won't be able to gain re
venge either by hook or crook but
we want youse to understand that
our hearts are in the right place.
