Th former William Jewell and
Trenton junior college ace not only
beat out Joe Shy, Big Six cham
rion low hurdle man. but also Bert
fimtiser. soDhomore hopeful. It
xvam the best clocking recorded in
the Brewer Field house by a 60
yard low hurdler.
Alexander also had the best time
in the 60 yard highs with 7-7 sec
onds, with Gartiser and bod unase,
another soDh. finishing arrears.
Owen Joggerst, Big Six sprint
champion, led Shy and Alexander
to the tape in the 60 yard dash in
.a spponds. Elmer (Call me Elm)
Aussieker, defending league shot
champion, has pushed the ball 48
feet 4,2 inches.

In our mail bag today M-ere several missives which bear
directly ipon Senator Sam Klaver's proposed bill requiring
Nebraska to meet Creighton "whenever requested to do so by
Creighton."
One Creighton student writes in glowing terms of the cur
rent Blue jay court success, then compares his alma mater's
record with the duller Husker performance. "We've always
felt that your teams were afraid to play Creighton, especially
on the basketball court."
Another letter goes "all out" for an immediate resumption
of the long-dead Oeighton-Nebraska athletic relations. "Kla
cr's bill was tendered for the sole purpose of promoting good
will and creating better understanding between Nebraska's two
largest universities. There could be be no better manner to re
uuite relations."
A bit of thought on the matter produces gross retrospect.
We can offer four concrete reasons why Nebraska should
not keep full-time athletic relations with Creighton.
1. Creighton is noted over the country as a "basketball"
school and recruits its talent from other states. While Blue
jay cage teams meet the nation's top, CU grid and track squads
confine activity to the Missouri Valley conference. Therefore,
athletic relations between the schools would be confined to
basketball.
2. Creighton is a Catholic institution and limits a great
deal of its competition to similar institutions.
3. If Creighton did play Nebraska, the rivalry would be
bitter beyond description. Rivalry between Creighton and
Nebraska for nrize Cornhusker preD performers is already
intense enough, tho the Jays go outstate to "purchase" their
material.
4. Downright ridiculous is the very idea of a mere "bill"
foreincr two schools to meet on the athletic held. Imagine lore
ing (Jeorgia Tech to play Kearney State, or Lincoln high to
play Optic!
To you readers who bemoan the lack of a more sizeable
snort paere. we point to the 70 inches of sports overset accumu
lated during the three editions we've printed this week. Money
bows before news, it seems, and we'd give our right arm for
an entire add-free page every day.

Intramural athletes, inactive for
several weeks, return to the firing
line in the next sport on the
roster ba sketball.
Activity in the class "A" leagues
will get under way this evening at
7:30 when six of the 21 hopeful
quintets take to the three coliseum
maples for the opening tip-offs
which will send another I-M bas
ketball season on its way. There
will also be three games at 8:00
and 8:30.
All eyes will be upon the Phi
Gamma Delta-Sigma Alpha Mu
tussle which will take place on the
varsity court at 7:30. The Phi
Gams, who are the defending class
"A" champions, will be watched
by the eager eyes of the other
leaders In the Jack Best trophy
(especially the ATO's) to see
whether the Fijis have the stuff to
repeat as champions.
The Phi Gams are expected to
be able to experiment much to
night against the weaker Sammies
in order to find a lineup potent
enough to face the stronger com
petition which will come later.
Looking back over last year's
season we find that the Beta's,
Farm House, and DU't accompa
nied the champs to the semi-finals.
The Betas earned the right to
meet the Fljis by nipping the
Farm House 19-18 as the Phi
Gams rolled over the DU's 34-12.
After trailing at half-time 13-5,
the do-or-die Phi Gams began to
hit the net with much regularity
during the final half of play to
swamp the Beta men 27-21, thus
taking over the lead in the Jack
Best race.
Both of last year's finalists have
three regulars returning for this
season's competition. Back for the
Phi Gams are Roy Long, Ned
Nutzman, and Don Andreson,
while last year's runnerups will
have Justin Berger, Stan Huff
man, and Gene Tallman to rely on.
