DAILY NEBRASKA!

A friendly battle between sis
ters of the bond occurred Wed
nesday in the finals of the deck
tennis tournament as the two
Gamma Phi teams played to de
cide the championship. Maryellen
Robison and Ruth Coordes, league
II winners, defeated Mary Ellen
McKee and Jean Geddes, league I
winners, to settle it. Now we're
wondering if the plaque will re
side among "Robbie's" horse col
lection or will be shared by all.
Now that the round robin
bowling tournament is over, the
serious work begins. Scores for
the three games have been tot
aled, and the following 15 high
teams (in order of rank) are en
tered in. the elimination tourna
mnet which begins Monday:
Theta 4, Pi Phi 1, AXO 1, DDD
1, Gamma Phi 1, Theta 2, Theta 3,
DG 3, Phi Mu, SDT 2, AXO 2,
Kappa Delta, Alpha Phi 1, and
DDD 2. If numbers mean any
thing, the Thetas and the Alpha
Ohis have a head start with three
teams each. A new addition to the
tournament will be the entrance
of an ag college team, the winner
of their own round robin contest,
making 16 teams for the tourna
ment. Speaking of ag college, spe
cial mention should go to Mrs.
Jean Danielson, ag phy ed di
rector, and the comparatively
new WAA council who have set
up the intramural program for
the girls on that campus. Not
only are they enthusiastic, but
they're good having defeated
city campus varsity teams in
Nebraska ball and soccer base
ball. Quite a record!
Basketball practives began last
night with the newly installed pub
lic address system being initiated
into intramural duty, Miss Loize
Montgomery doing the honors.
The Pt Phis, Thetas, Kappa Delts,
and Bouton Hall are scheduled for
their first practice tonight.
Yesterday afternoon Dr. Ar
thur H. Stemhaus, prominent
man in the fields of physiology
l and physical education, spoke to
a group of women phys ed ma-
jors and teachers, and showed
films of physical education tak
en in Europe. Miss Nancy Miner,
now teaching here, figured in
several scenes which she
promptly stole. She was in the
group accompanying Dr. Stein
haus on his trip thru Europe.

Illinois Relays
call Nehraska
cinder squad
Nine Cornhusker trackmen with
minds full of thoughts of winning
events and breaking records will
leave by train tonight for the Illi
nois Relays to be run tomorrow.
One speedy little redhead,
Gene Littler, has visions of
breaking the tape for the 300
yard dash Sautrday with a new
world's record. Sports fans who
seen him run or recall that he
tied the present record when
he ran the 300 in 31.2 second at
the relays last year believe he
can do just that.
Littler's performance in win
winning the quarter mile classic
in the Sugar Bowl New Year's
day and in surpassing two varsity
records during practice supports
this belief. Within the past week
"Red" has passed the record for
one lap around the indoor track
with a speed of :26.9 and has
dashed to a new university speed
in the 60 yard dash with a time
of 6-1.
Harold Hunt, who has cleared
13 feet 9' 2 inches this winter
in the pole vault has cause for
hope also to repeat as a victor.
Hunt tied with Higgini of
Missouri in the Relays last win
ter. Sophomore Bobby Ginn of Madi
son will be out after the 1,500
meter title. Early his week, Ginn
toured the indoor oval in the time
of 4:20.9 for the mile.
Bill Smutz, and Bob Kahler
will represent the hurdle con
tingent from Nebraska. Harold
Scott, in the . pole vault, Is the
other veteran going to Illinois.
Newcomers list Don Morris of
Scottsbluff who will travel along
with Littler over the 300 specialty
and possibly the 75 year dash. Two
more sophomores are Vic Schleich
and Wayne Blue, fooball weight-
men, who will be shoving the shot
put about. These latter two have
both exceeded 48 feet in the shot.
The nine Huskers and Coach
Ed Weir will leave by train Fri
day night arriving in Urbana
for the preliminaries Saturday
afternoon. The final will be held
that night.
Husker quintet
on Tiger court
Saturday night
Nebraska's basketball quintet,
still within range of a share in the
Big Six cage bunting, travels to
Columbia, Mo., tomorrow night to
battle the league dwelling Mis
souri Tigers.
The Bengals have lost all five
of their conference starts, while
the Huskers have a four-three
record. The first meeting of the
two here In Lincoln last month
found the Tigers on the short
end of a 40-29 score.
Coach A. J. Lewandowski named
a squad of ten men to make the
Missouri trip, leaving by train to
night. The starting lineup will prob
ably be John Thompson and
John Fitzgibbon, forwards; Al
Randall, center; and Don Fitz
and Sid Held, guards.
The second five going Is com
prised of John Hay and Los Liv
ingston, forwards; Lyle King, cen
ter; llartmann Goctze, and Max
Young guards.

Swimmers nip
1940 Big Six
pool champs
By Bob Miller.
Nebraska swim fans who were
on hand at the Nebraska-Iowa
State aquatic duel, last night at
the coliseum pool, were also pres
ent to see history made as the
Husker's took a 45-39 decision
from the Cyclones.
Iowa State started out in a high
speed manner annexing the 300
yard medley relay to gain six
points to the Husker's i three. The
next race evened the count and
provided the opportunity for Bill
Edwards, junior free styler, to
prove what he was worth.
And prove it, he did by not
only turning in an upset victory
over Roger Adams, Iowa State Big
Six conference champion, in the 50
yard free but also pushing the
same Adams to the shore in the
100 free, to garner second place
in that event. That was not all for
this swimmer because in the 400
yard relay, the deciding event, he
picked up a lead which he gave
to Hilgert and allowed the Husk
ers to come out first.
In the diving event Ralph Wor
den took the spotlight for Ne
braska while capturing first with
102.2 points. The surprise in this
event came when Bill Hull of
Fairbury took second place.
About this time in the meet it
was Les Oldfield's turn to take
over. In his specialty, the 150 back
stroke, Oldfield not only broke
his own pool record that he set
last week against Grinnel but also
unofficially clipped 2.9 seconds off
the Big Six mark in this event.
His time was 1:44. and the confer
ence record that was set by Davis
of Oklahoma in 1936 is 1:47.5.
Don Hilgert, high scorer for the
meet, got off to a good start when
he won the 220 free style event,
then came the 440 free which Hil
gert also took in his stride. In the
next event he swam anchor on the
winning relay team.
This was the meet that the Ne
braska mermen have been point
ing for and it is their fourth vic
tory of the 1941 season. Saturday
afternoon at 4 Nebraska swim
ming enthusiasts will have an
other chance to watch the team in
action. This time it is Oklahoma
who will be coming from Norman
with a strong team in the hope of
defeating the home team.
