NEBRASKA'S redhead, Eugene Littler, has been released
from the hospital where he was confined for the last week with
pneumonia. . . , Red has set so many records and won so many first
place spots that he can't remember all of them. . . . This is his third
siege of pneumonia and it left him fairly well played out. . . . Ac
cording to his plans now he will begin working out on the track
again in two weeks and should be ready to run at the West Point
triangular meet on May 2. ... He will probably have a chance to
run at the National Intercollegiate which will be held in the middle
of June on the Nebraska oval. . . . After that, Red becomes one of
Uncle Sam's warblrds.
JUST look at the record of those Ak-Sar-Ben Knights on the
hockey rinks of the midwest. ... It was not so long ago that the
Knights were fighting tooth and nail to land among the top three
out of four in the northern division of the American hockey associa
tion. ... By squeezing in under the line and getting into the top three
they were eligible for the playoffs in their division. . . . They played
the No. 2 team and won two games; then they met the No. 1 team,
St Paul, in the finals of the division and swept through three games.
. . . From there on Saturday night on Omaha ice, the Knights met
the Kansas City Amerks and downed them 5-3. ... On Sunday night
they took the second game of the final series by a 6-5 count on K. C.
Ice, leaving them two games out of the championship. . . . That gives
them seven straight games that they have won without a loss. . . .
And in playoffs, too.
FROM the looks of things in this corner, the fraternity l-M
race looks like a tight one. . . . Two disqualifications of opposing
teams in the recent track finals combined to put the Betas on top
of the pile. . . . with golf and tennis results counted. . . . The Phi
Gams are second. . . . Both teams have advanced to the playoffs
In bowling and the Softball wars begin tonight to decide the Jack
Best award for sure. ... If the Betas win their league in softball,
they virtually have the title. ... If not, it's going to be much closer
than one could imagine. . . . There's something in that old motto,
"Uneasy is the head that is about to wear the crown."
HUSKER diamond addicts got into their suits and had a game
Saturday afternoon. . . . The Regulars trimmed the Yannigans, 11-5.
. . . Activity in this sport is slated to begin when the team meets the
Minnesota aggregation on foreign soil on April 24 and 25. . . . The
battery combination is proving the source of the most worry for
Coach Ad Lewandowski and his aide-de-camp, Rolley Horney.
There are but two experienced pitchers and one catcher. . . . The
showing that the baseballers can make this spring will be important
in the final Big Six all-sports award. . . . Oklahoma is leading at this
time with the final results of outdoor track, baseball, tennis and golf
yet to be figured in. . . . Nebraska is a point ar.d a half behind in
second place.
SPEAKING of tennis and golf, athletic director John Selleck,
due to the pleading of some pf the members of the two squads, has
added another match to both schedules. . . . Both teams will meet
representatives of the Unlverstiy of Minnesota on Minneapolis
courts and links on April 24. . . . This gives them four matches for
their spring quota due to rationing. . . . Minnesota has been one
of the most consistent foes that we have had this year. . . . Husker
teams have met or will meet them in football, basketball, gymnas
tics, wrestling, swimming, track, tennis, golf and baseball. . . .

Weather Plus Injuries
Have Been a Hindrance
In Spring Football Drills
Husker exponents of the grid
sport are in the home stretch now.
This week marks the last week of
the spring drill sessions and will
be climaxed by a big scrimmage
session on Saturday afternoon.
So far this spring, various
things have been popping up to
hamper the Husker coaches in
their prescribed drill routines. The
weather has predominated in be
ing the wet blanket, closely pur
sued by injuries.
Football started on March 2
and since that time the gridders
have managed to get out just
about as much as they have had
to stay in. The cold spell in the
early part of March was the most
damaging from that standpoint.

the Army team. Due to a bad
center, Dale Bradley was trapped
behind his own goal for a safety.
Final score was 2-0 in favor of
the Navy team. This is the first
time the Navy Blues have been
able to hold an advantage during
the scrimmage sessions. The
Army team has three wins to its
credit.
Bobby Cooper issued a thirty
yard pass to Allen Zikmund for
the longest gain of the afternoon.
There will be another session be
tween the two on Wednesday and
then the grand closing on Saturday.
