Friday. January 15, 1943 DAILY NEBRASKAN Cenny Exel Leads Gopher Cage Mates V i V'-!; .-: V '.Iff ..V., I r 1 -. , : a:"". ? J S This trio is the nucleus of the 1943 Minnesota cage squad which is currently rated as a "black horse" in the Big Ten basket race. From left to right they are vet Kenny Exel, guard, and sophomores Dave Ruliffson and Louie Brewster, forward and guard respectively. The first of the three is a senior whose presence on the squad should be the hub around which the Gopher coach will build his resources. Husker cagers can take heart in a pair of scores that turned up in Tuesday night's Big Ten play. Illinois, defending champ, waltzed by Wisconsin, 52-40, to prove they will win the crown again this year. The Illini toppled Nebraska, 69-27, in a pre-holiday encounter. Over at Iowa City, the Hawkeyes trimmed Minnesota, 48-41, to do much better than they did against Nebraska. The Husker quint defeated Iowa, 52-43. Six Lettermen Report to ISC Cinder Squad AMES, Iowa., Jan. 14. Only six lettermen are available for Iowa State's indoor track team. Coach George Bretnall's roll call reveals.

Y., sprint er may have to drop out of com petition. Capt. Bob Winders, the Toledo sprinter and quarter man; Jack Gibson, half miler from Perry; Marlowe Burgy. Ames distance star, and Burt Eberlein, Mankato, Minn., Jumper, are the lettermen who are certain to see action.

Forcing into an early lead the Phi Delta club led all the way en joying a 10 to 4 margin at the in termission. Rod Smith and Fisher manufac tured the Phi Delta punch that kept Bob McNutt's Sigma Chi crew under water throughout. Harvey and Kindler with bright flashes of play were the only Sigma Chi highlights. ATOs Win. Alpha Tau Omega's club swung into the lead in the intramural standings by dumping the Phi Gamma Delta cohorts 11 to 8 in the consolation championship polo match.

II THAN""" Slow Recovery May Cost Cage Star Position AMES, la., Jan. 14. If Ron Kuebler doesn't get his leg in shape in a hurry the slender Car roll forward is going to find all jobs taken on the Iowa State basketball team. Kuebler appears to be reluctant to trust his charley horse injury enough to do much more than support his role as an onlooker at Cyclone drills. His first real workout was scheduled for Thurs day, but Coach Louis Mcnze gave him lots of running last night in hopes he would be able to cut loose with his old time abandon today. Just what the result will be Menze would not predict. The veteran Menze said he would start the same team against Nebraska next Monday that opened the contest against Kan sas State last week. This would put Orlyn Feuerbach at center, Ron Norman and Gene Oulman at the guards, Reuben Mickelson at one forward and either Bob Hayes or Ray Wehde at the other. Men . . . week.

Saturday eve will find the Cornhusker cagers matching shots with Mizzou at Columbia and Monday night is the date of the Husker-Iowa State battle. If Lew's lads can weather these two frays, chances are strong that third place in the league may fall Nebraska way. Indiana, conqueror over Nebraska by one point, beat Ohio State by a thirty point margin last week. Minnesota fell by ten; points to Iowa, ;V2-43, victim of the Huskers in a pre-holiday match. From this armchair, it appears that the Lewandowski courtsters are going to redden the pan of more than one pie campaign prognosticator.

Noticed. an interesting Ilusker's theories on sports and the war in the February Esquire The writer was none other than Capt. Sam Francis who wrote in connection with the magazine's Sports Poll. .. ."Sports and athletics during normal times are essential, but today in a war when all we possess is at stake, our only aim is how best we can, as Americans, assist in win ning the war. All coaches, promoters or physical educatidn and health instructors should be taught the simpler rudiments f army life and drill, and then let them,, along with their condi tioning programs assist in the training of our future soldiers before they are called into active service. Organized athletics never have and never will condition the many; it is carried n by the few and enjoyed by the many." - "'( .. t - . iw up. At Last!
