3 Intra-mural Race Enters Crucial Stage This Week DAILY NEBRASKAN U Ni By Bob Miller jj PROPOSAL to change the national football rules code in one specific part it the cry of Oklahoma coach, Dewey "Snorter" Luster... Luster wants the optional goal rule written into the books but the winter session of the national rules committee did not pass it... By the optional goal rule is meant the team scored upon gets the option of changing goals or of deciding whether it will kick or receive. . .The Sooner mentor reports that while the majority of coaches are In favor of it, it silll did not pass. IN FACT the Oklahoman Is so much in favor of the plan that he has been using it in all of his practice games during the spring drill sessions, "just in case". . .In favor of the plan is that it will equalize the elements, particularly wind. . .Consider one team getting in possession of the ball with a strong wind blowing with them and they have plenty of advantage for the period... By the first of the next period, when the opposing team gets the chance at Uie wind. it (the wind) may have gone down considerably. BY THIS PLAN then after one team swept down the field to a touchdown with the aid of the wind for a passing attack, the other team could get the advantage if they so chose or else they could state whether they wanted to kick or receive. . .From these stand points, the plan seems very logical but if it is placed on the books there will be a much greater amount of aspirin consumed in the press box when the scribes try to think up some new ways to explain who was going in what direction when something happened. JOE LOUIS has raised the name of the fistic industry to a height that has never been scaled before... It seems like the old name was synonymous with poor sports, etc., but since the Brown Bomber has been riding on the throne, the reputation has been wiped clear... When he joined the army he showed his heart was In the right place. . .When he fought two fights, placing his title against... nothing but for the army and navy relief funds, he n-AUi hi. hrt wa In the rioht olacV. . .After disposing of Abe Simon on Friday night, he sent via the radio, his greetings to the boys under General McArthur in Australia and wished them -Godspeed"... You can't ask more of a man than Louis has shown. KANSAS STATE and Oklahoma got the jump on their Big Six mates when thev stared an outdoor dual track meet on Friday.. Following Uie meet which the Sooners won the two teams headed for the Texas U. relays in Austin.. .The Oklahoma sprinters were the reason for the 77-57 decision as they copped eight of the nine races ...Orv Mathews won the 100 and 220, Bill Lyda took the 440 and 880 and Dick Smethers broke the tape in the mile and two-mile eventa ...This will mean that the Huskers had better sit up and take notice, THE COLD weather plus a little rain and gloom has been enough to keep the Husker grid aggregation indoors a goodly part tf the time of the spring drills. . .Yesterday, a big scrimmage ses sion was planned but did not materialize due to the existing position of the mercury In the thermometers. . .One of these days there will be a warm atmosphere and then Coach Glenn Presnell will settle a lot of doubts that have been cropping up in his mind. As the intra mural battle for the Jack Best trophy goes into the home stretched, fraterni ties are eyeing anxiously the outcome of the handball and bowling race and are preparing for the two remaining sports, track and baseball. Thursday night the Zeta Beta Tau table tennis won their second straight intramural ping pong championship as they defeated the l)U's 4 to 1. The ZBT s victims in the semi finals, the Betas, took extra points for third place by trouncing the Kappa Sigs, eliminated by the DU's in the consolations. Ankeny Wins. Harry Ankeny saved the DU's from a com plete trouncing as he defeated the ZBT's ace player, Buddy Goldstein. The winning play ers were Theo Cohen, Stu Muskin, Norman Kips and Morris Kirshenbaum. The handball championship is still in the air with the winner of the Phi Delt-DU game going into the finals against the ZBT 'a. Hand ball semifinal results slowed up the schedule with ties in both games causing playoffs with the two singles players combining in the de ciding doubles game. Yesterday afternoon, Irv Galvin and Stan Feltman of the ZBT team defeated John D. Wertz and Kurt Ralston of the Sigma Nus in the tie-breaking game to put the Zetas in the in the finals. Fred Meir and Harry Ankeny of the DU's will play Phi Delta George Abel and Jack K. Lee to decide the other finalist. Bowling Close. With several leagues tied up causing play-offs, the bowling championship will probably not be determined until late next week or early the following week according to the intra mural office. Also making this week a busy one as far as athletics is concerned, is the I-M track meet which will be held Wednesday and Thursday night. The defending champions are the ATO's which plan to enter another strong team to defend its crown. Harold Hunt Breaks Texas Vault Record Harold Hunt vaulted over the 14 foot mark yesterday in the Texas relays at Austin to set a new record. This was the 15th annual meeting of the Texas re lays. National collegiate champion, Hunt soared to the 14 feet inch mark to beat the record of Beefus Bryan, Texas, of 13 feet 10 inches, scored three years ago. Large Crowds Are Expected At Oklahoma NORMAN, Okla. Football crowds at Oklahoma's 1942 home contests will be big as ever if some method can be figured out to transport fans to the games, believes Lawrence "Jap" Haskell, Sooner athletic director. The war is a tremendously se rious proposition but President Roosevelt's recent endorsement of professional baseball and the plea for more, instead of less, porticipa tion in contact sports by heads of various branches of the nation s army, navy and air corps proves that there is still a place for sports even in time of war, Hask ell holds. Haskell believes the proximity to Norman of several big war in dustry plants is bound to help football attendance this fall. May . .
