ednesday, November 18, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN pip i!v fipli: ;! By Norris Anderson "-w ' ' (Sports Editor) " V ; Before delving into any serious chatter, we must herewith answer this question: 4 What is a shmeegie!" Some twenty ' odd saps wish to know what we meant by the term in yes terday's eolumn. A shmeegie is a synonym for cigar. Origination of the terra can be attributed to a three-way source: namely, Fred Metheny, Marv Thompson and Herb von Goetz. Herb staunchly claims he created the term only to see Thompson and Metheny steal it on the Pitt trip. Thompson and Metheny claim that a shmeegie is a three-for-nickle cigar and consequently Herb should be thoroly familiar with the term. Another query which should be answered here originated on the dressing room bulletin board Monday. Upon the board was the Eisenhart-Long-Hopp-Grubaugh backfield and the question reigned: "Where did Grubaugh come from?" Mr. Grubaugh arrived via an emergency condition from a sub tackle berth. His presence in the No. 1 backfield can be explained in two sentences. First his 200 pounds will boost defensive mettle, a trifling item which requires plenty of boost me prior to battle with the powerhouse Seahawks. Second Presnell plans to rest injured Dale Bradley, Al Zikmund and Marv Athey for the Kansas State fracas. It will be the Yemnants of a stout Husker line against a three-deep Seahawk eleven, possessing just the correct amount of seasoning, weight and drive. Literally book-worms who follow the exploits of Moby Dick can virtually snap their fingers and find his modern equal right here in Huskerland. He's Jack "Rover Boy" Hazen, pass-snatching Scarlet wingman. Injured against Mizzou, Jack was not slated to make the big trip to Pitt. A bit of subterfuge by Hazen 's mates, who figured a regular performer like Jack shouldn't be left home from the best trip, accounted for Jack's seclusion until the train arrived in Chicago. One of the top mysteries to porters on the train was: "Who slept in berth 8?" A restful Mr. Hazen had reclined there for ti.e t,vtii'iug, then awoke early next morning to avoid "techni calities." "Never took a more restful trip in my life," com mented the stowaway on his return. Elsewhere on this sheet is printed the all-intramural fra ternity touch grid team. Behind that team lies a ponderous amount of thought and concentration by Gene Sherman, our intramural editor; Tom Brogan, UN intramural spons airecwr, and Eddie Hall, intramural whistle-tooter. HKcArvora nf the tnnoh er'u race this term pronounced it as "best in history." A large measure of that success can be attributed to the fine teams represented, plus Brogan and the young men with the whistles. Daily Nebraskan All I-M Team Picked by Tom Drogran.

' All-Intramural Teams Selected By Officials BY GENE SHERMAN. Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theat Pi, and Phi Gamma Delta frater nities each placed two men on the all I-M team while the AGR's, Sig ma Nu's, Delta Sigs, Farm House, and DU'a had to be content with only one member as the 1942 edi tion of the Daily Nebraskan all intramural touch football team emerged from consensus selection. Ends were Harold Hunt, ATO, and Stan Maley, Sigma Nu, both of whom were chosen because of their pass catching and blocking abilities. Hunt's performance in the title game with the Beta's was one of the main reasons for the ATO's winning the championship. Murray On. Brick Murray, carrot-thatched Beta, and Bob Schmer of the Farm House gained places on the first team due to their ability to soft thru the opponents line and stop enemy backs. Candidates for the pivot spot were many. After much consid eration Francis Hunt was given the nod over 'Fiji Ed Copple due to the former's ability-to kick field goals. Arnot and Nutzman Lead Back. A we 1th of backfield material made the choosing hard for the first five backs. Bill Arnot, Beta, and Ned Nutzman, Phi Gam, were the only men to receive unanimous choices for their positions. Frank Wolff, Phi Gam, Bob Minthorne Farm House, and Dick Luther, DU, round out the first string backfield. Below are thumbnail sketches of members of the first team: Harold Hunt Heat's ability to be wMe awake at all times practically brought the IIIU title to the ATOs. Hunt tallied eight of the nine points against the Beta's the title contest by running back na) In tercepted pass for a touchdowa and block' Ing a Beta pant tor a safety. Bob Schmer This 19 pounder was the mainHtay of a line that consisted of In experienced performers. Behmer's best game was against the Betas la which the Farm House was only edged oat by a o-u score: Francis Hunt Besides having the nail ties of a good pivot man. Hunt possessed aa educated right toe that brought the 1942 champs many points after touch downs. Brick Murray Aa an around maa on defense. Hurray made It tough for oppos Ing linemen. Brick's flghUng spirit was one of the mala reasons for the Beta's success. Stan Maley Maley's piny was featured by many circus catches of passes. On defense, Btaa kept his end ef the use safe from wide end runs. BUI Arnot Probably the best trlpte- threater in I-M ball this year. Amot bod the knack of calling the right play at the right time. sd Nntamaa Natulan was the key and Senniawrs Have Your Pictures Taken for the fl3)43 (DEoimIliiTiiisIkr I by ROTo S Injuries Still Bother Huskers Injuries continued to be the main source of worry in the Husker camp yesterday as Al Zikmund Dale Bradley, Marv Athey, Ran dall Salsbury especially nursed hurts sustained in the last two battles. During the light contact drill Presnell continued to use the "beef" backfield foresome of Eisenhart, Long, Grubaugh, and Hopp. Averaging 193 pounds, the quartette will run offensively strictly off double and single wing formations. Use of any intricate T forma tion plays would be nill in face of the performers' inacquamtance with their new spots. 1 Hurry! ' Last Times Today!
