DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, September IB, 194 r J!UL mm By Bob Miller Oklahoma is certainly to be pitted ... If we could believe Okla homa and "Snorter" Luster, the Sooners would end up fairly low on the win column. . .They claim that they do have a pretty fair backfield but have a poor line and no competent reserves . . . But when the list of line can didates is scanned, we don't feel so sorry fir the Sooner aggrega tion with Howard Eason and Howard Teeter at tackles, Ralph "Fats" Harris and Mitch Shadid at guards, and Dub Lamb at end . . . And look at the backfield . . . There's Marvin Whited, 190 pound senior fullback; Orv Mathews, 162 pound senior quarterback and 100 yard dash champion; Jack Jacobs, 185 pound tailback and Joe "Jun ior" Golding, 180 pound wingback. With a backfield like that and with that many linemen return ing, we don't see how any coach would have a right to ;ioan . . . It is an aggregation that has made Oklahoma the pre-season favorite of the Big Six . . . just remember that Nebraska is still .going to put one whale of a. team on that field this fall. . . . The Hastings trio, who Jed Hast ings to the front last fgil, namely George Stransky, Jake Miller and Wally Hopp have decided to enroll at the Hunker institution and will check out freshman suits today . . . Honey Outlines Intramural Set-up "Health in the nation plays an important part in times such as these. Personal health should cer tainly not be neglected by the stu dents because some type of recre ation is provided for every student at Nebraska. All of this intra mural activity is free. We would be happy if the work piled up faster than we can handle it." Roily Horney, director of intra mural activities, made these state ments in conection with the 1941 42 activity in sports for the stu dent. The start of the intramural program is tentatively scheduled for October 7. This date and the other questions concerning inter fraternity play will be decided def initely in a meeting in the N club rooms Thursday, September 25, at 7:30 p. m. of the athletic managers of the Greeks. Touch Football Starts Off. The first sports of the season will be touch football, tennis and golf. Tennis and golf are scheduled for fall work because of the sus tained good weather of this period. It has proved much more satisfac tory with these sports at the start of the year rather than in the spring. The meeting Thursday evening will decide in which sports the Greeks will participate. Last year there were 12. These may be cut or added to. The ones on the pro gram for the 1940-41 season were: touch football, tenia, golf, volley ball, water polo, A and B basket ball, ping pong, bowling, track, softball and handball. Trophies Given to Runners-up. For the second year the trophies will be given to runners-up as well as the winners. The runner-up in the season's total will receive a trophy, with the winner copping the Jack Best cup. A trophy will be given th fraternity which scores the largest total points for the year without Winning a sport. The barbs will vote on a plan to give trophies to the winners of the sports this year. In years be foi medals have been given the winners and runner-ups. It is planned for this yesr that the name of the winner be printed on the trophy, but it would be kept in the trophy case furnished by the Barb Union.

"Certainly a fellow is adapted to some type of play. This should prove especially true here, where all the equipment and materials are furnished by the university. I believe that this activity is espe cially adaptable to barbs, who need some type of planned recre ation more than the members of fraternaties. It gives them a chance to relax," Horney points out in urging the unaffiliated to sign up. All participants must have a physical examination before start ing competition. This is for the student's protection as well as the university's. Horney urged the Greeks to get organized immediately for touch He asks that all of the i get their own ball, but for a short time there will be practice balls avail able at the intramural office in the coliseum. Touch rules will be ready for the meeting of the fra ternity athletic managers Thurs day evening.
