DAILY NEBRASKAN Sunday, March 2, 194F An eye on Girls Sports By Jeannette Mickey Who is ahead in intramurals? Here's the answer including all the points up to bowling Gamma Fhi Beta 303, Delta Gamma 270, Kap pa Alpha Theta 220, Wilson Hall ISO, Pi Beta Thi and Raymond Hall tied at 150. As soon as possible the bowling points will be added to the ones included above (soccer baseball, swimming, Nebraska ball, and dock tennis), and the official half way standings will be given. It may change the picture quite a bit. but we shall see. Many of you no doubt know about the change in the point sys tem being initiated this year. In stead of placing such a noticeable emphasis on participation, the ad vantage is being given the winning teams. It is interesting to note, however, that so far the top three groups remain the same as last year except for a reverse in the positions of the Gamma Phis and Theta s. The Ag bowling team, which got ti play only one game in the tournament, has asked to bowl again against an average campus team. Tuesday at 5 they will bowl against Betty Perry, DG, Harriett Coatello. Theta. Sayre Webster, Pi Phi, Doris Patterson, DDD. and Ruth Sloss, AXO, with Mary Thor ley, AXO. and Beth Douglas. KD, as alternates. These girls all "av erage" between 110 and 150. Again we say, "How nice are these friendly competitions be tween giils on both campuses." Gives us a chance to get acquaint ed with the gals "out there." Now for basketball. Since only one team may be entered by each group, there will be no round-robin tournament as before. The elimi nation tournament is starting im mediately with the first week's games including: Monday, DG vs. Howard Hall; Tuesday, AXO vs. Towne Club; Wednesday, Whitnev vs. Theta: Thursday, Tri Delta vs. Ray Hall; and Friday, Kappa Delta vs. Gamma Phi. Wilson Hall is defending champion in basket ball. Note the one game each night policy being adopted so you kiddies can get home for dinner. Do I hear some cheers? Results of last week's pirg pong tournament were: Marjorie Schra der. barb, over Alyce Wykoff, DG Coach Wilhur Knight smiles broader; seven letterinen back for 1941 baseball By Diamond-Dust Evinger.

Muskers third NORMAN, Okla., Dewey "Snor ter" Luster, Oklahoma's new foot ball coach, is back on his home hearth, busily marshalling that un certain portion of the Sooner foot bal squad not hit by the draft and military enlistments for the Oklahoma spring practice start ing at Owen field Monday after noon. Captain and end of Bennie Owen's undefeated Missouri Val ley championship Oklahoma eleven of 1920, the 135 pound Luster, a shrewd tactician who spent the past season as back field coach of Steve Owen's New York Giants professional club, succeeds burly Tom Stidham who resigned recently to accept a three year contract as head coach at Marquette. Both Luster and Lawrence "Jap" Haskell, new Sooner athletic direc tor who captained Bennie Owen's Oklahoma football team of 1921, came into power here as a result of the new economy policy for Oklahoma football determined up on by the university board of re gents. This new policy favors a smaller coaching staff, a smaller football coaching salary budget 2; Miriam Mann, barb, over Jean Hazen, DDD 2; Virginia McNeel.

Members of Orchesis think April 26. their recital date, Ls pretty near, and are putting in extra hours already. After commenting on Aura Lee Dawson's new mod ern dance step during practice Saturday, I was informed that she was just trying to get some water out of her car. It did look like a pretty good .step tho McDermott used up his three years and left a vacant spot in the outfield. Another hard place to fill "will be the bac kstop post Schmode and Hurley, lettermen have both left school Tour pitchers back. Eut Knight was not going to be discouraged by the graduations. He repeated his list of returning lettermen. Pitchers were Sid Held, Ernie Swanson, Oscar Tegtmeier. and Bob Searle. The latter two can double in both infield and outfield and will probably see greater use in the outfield because of their hitting. Warren Gabelman will be back to patrole a po- sition in the outfield. So will Leonard Van Buskirk who can double at second base if necessary. Al tho he failed to play in a single game last year, Bernie Le Mas ter is counted upon heavily for a regular spot. LeM aster was the first string shortstop last spring un L VAN lUSIUKX Lincoln Journal til he broke an ankle bone a week before the opening game. The injury kept LeMasLer on the sidelines for nearly the whole semester and he remained on the sidelines to preserve another year of eligibility. and the employment of well qualified Sooner alumni for uni versity coaching jobs whenever possible. It was designed to eliminate entangling long-termed coaching contracts, top-heavy salary budg ets and unreasonably high sal aries for coaches. In accordance with it, the Oklahoma regents gave both Luster and Haskell year-to-year contracts same as those re ceived by university faculty members. No coaching salary at Oklahoma will go as high as $5,000 in the future, the regents decided. The Sooners will get along with only three varsity coaches, Luster naming Athletic Director Haskell his line coach and Dale Arbuckle quarterback on Bennie Owen's Sooner team of 1926, his new backfield coach Arbuckle was one of Stidham's staff of five varsity coaches. A full-time freshman coach, preferably one who can also double as coach of another sport, will be hired later, Luster said. Stidham is taking Robert "Doc" Erskine, his backfield coach, and Pete Smith, end mentor, to Marquette with him as assistants. Stanley William son, Sooner line coach under the Stidrfam regime, hasn't placed himself but the Oklahoma re gents voted to pay him salary until June 1 although normally his resignation would have been accepted immediately. Athletic Director Haskell denied that the economy policy at Okla homa meant de-emphasis of Soon er football. "Well go on playing strong schedules." Haskell said, "and we will try to go on building strong Oklahoma teams." Vi sion- ( Continued from page 1.) ficient progress to warrant a re test. In giving the tests the op thalmograph is used. The following opthalmoirranh records show the improvement of a Junior Division student after spending eight weeks in the labo- ratories. Record A is that of the pupil when he entered the Coach Knight again went back to his numbering. He counted the returning squad men from last year's team. Among those were Bob Garey. pitcher; Frank Gil more, Charlie Vacanti. outfielders; Don Pollock, first baseman; Grove Nelson, catcher: and Elbert Phelps and Hermie Puhrig, second base men. Rohrig can also play out field. Three ineligible. Tho last seven names brought a grin back to Knight's face. That grin changed to a toothy smile when he locked over the freshmen names. Knight's expression changed again when he checked the eligi bility list. Three players he had been counting on were down scholastic-ally. Those were Butch Lu ther, outfielder, and Harold Mack and Clair Miller, pitchers. To end his day of counting facts about his ball nine, Knight read off the names of the frosh ba.se ballers who are now strong soph omore candidates. On that list were; Thriteen sophs out. Dean Callan. shortstop-second base; Frank Coffman, second base; Bill Green, pitch; Clarence Hern don, catch; Dean Jackson, catch third base; John Fitzgibbon, out field; Erwin Klein, outfield-first base, Ralph Kryger, first base; Carl Leach, pitch; Angelo Ossino. pitch; Clark Rice, pitch-outfield; Joe Ryan, outfield, and Bob Sauer, first base. Wilbur Kiight then slipped the notebook and pencil back into hi3 pocket and walked off smiling again.

Roger Adams of the Ames' team could not wait until the finals to set a new 100 yard freestyle record of 58.8. The old record held by Glyndon Lynde of Nebraska was 58.9. Les Oldfield, Husker ace, clipped two seconds off the 150 yard back stroke record with a time of 1:45.5 and Iowa State's 400 relay team splashed the distance in 3:54.1 for a new time in the Friday trials. A new time of 3:17.9 was set by Iowa State in the 300 yard medlay relay.

For record (B) the pupil read the same number of words, set up in the same way and of the same quality of material as he read eight weeks previously for record (A). The length of the film strip is much less than that of record (A) thus showing that he reads the same amount of sim ilar material in less time. In fact he is now (record "B") reading at the rate of 523 words per minute with 9(K,i comprehension and with only 4.4 eye stops per line. His movements are rhythmic and show no "regressions." He is now able to get the same amount of work done in one-half the time he for merly used or he is able to accom plish almost twice as much while reading (for the amount of time spent) as he formerly accom plished.
