Forrie Behm, a lad whose grid
iron doings were sufficient to gar
ner all of the honors on that count
for three years, continued his hon
ors streak yesterday when it was
announced that he had copped the
Missouri Valley Intercollegiate
Athletic association (Big Six)
scholarship award.
The Honors Convocation also
gave Behm a lion's share of
awards when he was cited for be
ing in the upper 10 percent of his
class for the last four years and
was announced as a memoer or
Beta Gamma Sigma, bizad schol
astic honorary. At the same time,
Theos Thompson, Husker quarter
back of last season, was honored
for being in the upper 3 percent

All of which goes to disprove the
the common conception of an ath

of the injury cannot be determined
as yet.

sidelights on happenings in the
sports of the day.
Track stock took an upswing
when it was learned that Har
old McAferty, Gothenburg,
Neb., high jumper, who has the
state high school high jump
record tficked under his belt,
came to town to talk to track
mentor Ed Weir. At present,
the way the thing looks, UN

boy winning the laurels for his
state. McAferty is now at the
University of Colorado.
Don Kellogg, in the Star
writes, "Nebraska's No. 1 Iowa
football fan is no more. . . .
Ted Murray, the rabid rooter
from Shenandoah, is moving to
the deep south and with him
goes a record of not missing a
Husker pigskin game, both
home and away, for 10 straight
years."
Farm House came more and
more to the top yesterday eve

on top in the hot fraternity in

they put the bee on a Kappa

the good when they downed a
neat Zeta Beta Tau team 5-3.
Not long ago, the ZBT's beat
