The Alpha Chis met their doom
last Wednesday as far as bowling
is concerned with all three of their
high scoring teams being elimi
nated by DDD 1, Kappa Delta, and
Fi Phi 1, respectively. In the other
game that night the DG 3 took a
close one, from the Ag college
team.
On Thursday Theta 4 defeated
DG 3 to advance to the semifinals.
Also, the Trt Delts 1, last year's
) runner-up, finally got going to de
feat the high scoring Pi Phis to
tTe tune of 711-688. The Pi Phi

highest score of the tournament
while Effie Akin bowled 186 to
take honors in that division from
Ruthie Fox.
This puts the Tri Delt 1 team
in the finals to play the winner of
the Monday night Kappa Delt
Theta 4 game. Finals will be
played off Tuesday night at 5
when all members of both teams
must be present to bowl at the
same time.
The rifle club, after minor de
tails of cutting their opponents'
scores in half because of a mixup
in rounds to be shot, figure they
won their last meet with Oregon
State. It may not be official, but
it looks nice from our point of
view.

MANHATTAN, Kas. Refusing
to believe that the University of
Kansas is unbeatable on its home
floor, Kansas State's basketball
quintet will attempt to add an
other upset "to the hectic 1941
season at Lawrence Tuesday
night.
While out of the title race, the
Wildcats have provided no little
trouble for their conference foes.
Each league team has dropped one
game to K-State except KU and
Iowa State and the latter still
have to face Coach Jack Gardner's
cagers before the season ends.
Kansas State well remembers
the 34 to 33 decision KU won at
Lawrence last year, and is de
termined to avenge this as well
as the 46 to 41 victory the Jay
hawkers scored at Manhattan in
January.
Wildcats not afraid.
"The fact the Jayhawks are
leading the league means nothing
to us," Gardner said. "We de
feated Oklahoma when they were
in first place. Neither do we take
any stock in the home court jinx
story. We came closer defeating
KU at Lawrence last season than
we did at Manhattan."
"If we are having a good night,"
the K-State mentor said, "we'll
lick KU." He backed this state
ment up by figures of the game
here. That night KU made 40
of 47 shots while Kansas State
connected on only 21 of 75 shots
at the basket.
Chris Langvardt, an effective
pivot man, will start at center as
he did against Missouri. Tom Guy
and Dan Howe will be at forwards
and Larry Beaumont and Norria
Holstrom will be the starting
guards. George Mendenhall, soph-

BY BUDD WALKER.
Barb basketball enters the semi
final round Monday night, with
Dark Horse leading off against
Pioneer Co-op. Dark Horse,
league 2 champs, won the cage
championship in each of the last
two years, the volleyball cham
pionship this year, and the soft
ball pennant last spring. Touch
football seems to be their only
nemesis, as they have not touched
the top in three years.
Pioneer Co-op, a new club on
the campus, is in its first year of
barb compefition. In both foot
ball and volleyball they fought
well but in vain. In basketball
they are the only semi-finalists
to have lost a game in the regular
season, but they made up for that
by beating the second place team
of their league twice.
In league 3 games, they lost the
first game of the season to Omega
Club, by 14-10. They came back
to topple Tappa Nu Kegg and
Stratford, and wallop the Termites
16-6 to tie for the top. In the
playoff they repeated their vic
tory, this time 16-13, to enter the
playoffs.
The other semi-final finds the
Sigma Nu, 13-9. For the winners,
Stan Huffman got 5.
Sig Eps win their league.
Delta Tsu Delta and Zeta Beta
Tau played with the former win
ning 12-6. Chuck Root got 4 for
the Delts. In a close game Sigma
Phi Kpsilon paced by Ed Zacek,
took down Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
23-17 and won their league in do

for the losers.
Phi Kappa Tsl barely nudged
Beta Sigma Psi, 21-20. Lyle Wil

Thi Gamma Delta also lost by a
decision to Alpha Sigma Phi, 11-12.
Farm House beat Alpha Gamma
Rho 16-6 to end play in class A.
In class B, Delta Tau Deira beat
Sigma Nu, 10-6 and Phi Kappa

Angels pitted against the Mad
Russians. Both are new to barb
sports, but they seem to find the
competition to their liking. The
Angels over-ran all opposition in
topping League 5, the haloed boys
winning five as they did not drop
a game.
The Mad Russians, former Blair
high school players, really looked
like champions in running through
league 6 without a setback. In
both touch football and volleyball
the Russians had the misfortune
of running up against the eventual
champions before the finals. They
were in the National league with
the Dark Horse sextet, while they
lost to the KKK nine after gaining
the semi-finals in touch football.
Both even-rtevnen.
Both games are natural, with
all teams boasting well-balanced
high-scoring lineups. Captain Jim
Watts led his Dark Horse team in
scoring during the regular season,
with 30 points, with Bob Anderson
and Fred Sukup supporting well.
The Pioneers' opposition will cen
ter in Carlos Atkinson and Connie
Dye.
Wayne Kellogg sifted 24 points
through the net for the Angels
during the season, while close be
hind him were Teammates Clair
Miller and Al Canfield. Freshman

Gymnasts beat Buffs,
210-194; first win in
two starts for Huskers
In their first home moet of the
present season, Nebraska gym
nasts outpointed a University of
Colorado team at the coliseum Sat
urday morning by scoring 210
points to the Buffaloes' 194.
In all of the five gymnastic
events with the exception of
tumbling the Huskers took first
in showing the best all-around
strength that they have shown
thus far.
In the horizontal bar, Stan
Southwick took first place with
19 points, barely shading his
teammate, Pete Kreischer, who
collected 17 points. Fager was
third for the Rocky . Mountain
team.
Geier wins side horse.
Jake Geier had the side horse
all to himself and proceeded to
show the spectators the fact by
thoroly outclassing the field with
his 21 points. A. Connett was
second for the visitors, scoring
17 points while Guy Johnson
took third for the Huskers.
In the flying rings it was Geier
again who held the top position
but unlike the side horse, he had
to give up part of the glory to
Jack Schulz, who took second with
22 points. Geier had a good 25
score with Pete Kreischer pulling
in third, very close behind Schulz
with 22 in his favor.
In the parallel bars Johnson and
Kreischer were all by themselves
but one could not outdo the other
with both getting a part of first
place by scoring 23 points
apiece. Schulz took third for Col
orado with a teammate, Frank
Prout, close behind him.
Schulz wins tumbling.
Jack Schulz came into full
glory when the tumbling event
was being run. He scored 23
points which was good for a first
with Griffin taking second for Ne
braska followed by Landrum for
Colorado.
The Huskers are all even on the
matter of wins and losses. The
win yesterday counterbalanced a
loss to the University of Chicago
earlier in the season. The team is
already to leave on a three-meet
conquest of the Rocky Mountain
region. Meets include the Univer
sity of Colorado at Boulder on
Feb. 27, Greeley State at Greeley
on the next day and staying over
there until March 1 when the team
will compete in the Rocky Moun
tain A. A. U. championships. The

In the intervening years
Obrecht has acquired a large cat

His determination to complete
his college education, Obrecht ex

failing health which made it im
possible for him to do heavy farm
work.
"Rather than loaf around and
pay someone else to do my work,
I thought I would do better to get
into some line of work that I can
do," he said.

long one-hand shot in the final
five seconds to give his Ne

over Oklahoma, here Saturday
night.
The win gave the Huskers firm
entrenchment in third place in
the Big Six basketball race. The
Scarlet now have six wins and
three conference defeats. The
league leading Jayhawkers have a
five and one record.
