(Tuesday. FeErDaty, To, MS DAILY NEBRASKAN Norris Anderson (Sports Editor) Renaissance? It just doesn't seem natural this business of Nebraska be ing an all-sports elalmaitt to the ash can prize of the Nig Six conference.' 4Hho there has possibly been less state yard conversation in downtown Lincoln concerning Cornhusker athletics, the vil lage wolves are not snapping at whatever it is the wolves snap at. Instead Cornhuskers followers seem to retain a plac id outlook on the entire situa tion and dismiss the matter with: "AVell, it's war time, isn't it?" It may be war time, our ath letes may be falling before the manpower axe but other Big Six schools face the identical difficulties. Outside of the hue of grandeur Pfcog Allen and Kansas have cast over the Big Six basketball horizon in past years, there are no traditions greater than Cornhusker domi nance over leagr track and gridiron fields. These opening paragraphs are dedicated to a faculty mem ber who demands to know "just what has happened to our sports." Mr. Faculty Mem ber also requests a solution for the situation. When results of the Husker (25 23) Missouri (7813) cin der duel finally came thru Sat urday nijrht, too late to make the Kag deadline, we awoke to full realization of the situation. A summary of the KU mass acre earlier in the evening con vinced us that: 1. Nebraska is going to start losing its current star prep performers to nearby state universities. It has been the re nowned NU athletic reputation lhat has kept prize Husker prcpslers from migrating in the past. 2. A "rejuvenation" cam paign, even inface of war diffi culties seems to be in order. Contact the prep athletes at least, show them what we have, and convince them that Ne braska University is the only school in the country. Even if these athletes are called to serv ice before they have chance to matriculate here, they'll always come back after the war. Instead of bemoaning our track situation, our athletic-inclined males "should search their ranks for cinder talent. "We know of enough inactive track talent in school to collectively account for nt least ten points per dual meet. 4. A concentration in the fu ture on grasping the basketball talent which filters to state col lege dubs, Creighton, and out slate schools. "I)c-emphasiza-tion" of basketball in the past has been a discredit to two fine coaches Harold Browne and Ad Lewandowski. If Thog Allen ever treks thru desert territory, the good "Doc" hacl best recruit a cara van of wnter trucks to take the trek with him. . We assigned.

Winner over Nebraska Saturday night, 56-24. the Jays now reign undefeated over the league. Jay followers, however, remem ber a year ago when Phog's lads filled the same position. Then came weak Iowa State to tip the Jays straight into a league tie with Oklahoma. Oklahoma tipped Iowa State twice last week to remain within a fray of leading Jayhawkers. Nebraska's weary cagers, down hearted after three consecutive league defeats, rested yesterday. A slick floor, necessitated by the Junior-Senior prom, kept Lewan dowskl's cagers from practice.

Brown was right behind Baker in the halftime and Debus pole vaulted all the way up with Blackwcll," said Weir. "The war hasn't hit the Tigers yet with their athletes in the Naval reserve V-7 and the coach ing staff is still all intact," he con tinued, in regard to Tiger man power. Nebraska's strength was con centrated in the shot put at Col ubla with Schleich winning and Debus thtrd, and the Husker pro fessor intimated that with Eisen hart in form the Huskers may score heavily in the indoor Big Six, Febr. 27.

Okl., Feb. 15 Close of the 1942-43 Sooner basketball season will occur here March 1, and, Oklahoma fana still remem ber the 1941 Nebraska - Sooner fracas. Oklahoma recalls with a shudder Nebraska's rallying ability. Back in 1941 at Norman, Oklahoma led Nebraska 37-17 with only ten minutes left to play but was blown off the boards by a blistering Cornhusker recovery that saw the Scarlet nipping the Sooners 43-42 when Young hit a long one-hander in the final two seconds. The Cornhuskers are making their eallant fight this season with almost a veteran array, sen iors Max Young, John Thompson and John Fitzgibbon and Juniors John Bottoiff, Kenneth Elson and Robert Heinzelman.

BY GENE SHERMAN. (Intramural Editor.) I-M basketball moves into the third night of play this evening with nine class "A" games on the docket. Four of the nine tussels should be placed on your "must see" list. They are as follows: Phi Gamma Delta vs. SAE, Beta Theta Pi vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon, ATO vs. Phi Delta Theta, and DU vs. AGR. All of these contests will have an influence on changes in the standings especially the ATO- Phi Delt clash. Anv outsider glancing at the class "B" scores in last Friday s rag" would have thought they were a list of baseball and foot ball results. In the baseball like scores, the ATO's won a pitchers battle over the Beta Sigs 7-4 and the DU's took a slugfest from the Farm House 12-4. The Phi Delts won a 13-7 affair from the Sig Nu's and the Delta Sigs kicked two extra points for a 14-12 decision over the SAEs in the gridiron scores. V V V The Don James that led the ATO's to their win over the Phi Psi's is the same Don James that led Falls City to a second place in trie state tourney a couple of weeks ago.

Should Minnesota win the Big Ten rockey championship this winter, it isn't going to be any surprise to the members of the Gopher team, because they have the "Champion ship Kid" on their side. He is Bob "Cue Ball" Graiziger, versatile wing and defenseman. Being on title-winning teams is nothing new to Graiziger, and he hopes to be on another one after a few more games. Back in high school, the Gopher hockey tcm's co-captain played on six Twin City championship outfits. He rotated at both wing and center on a great St. Paul Wash ington six that went undefeated for two consecutive years. In the 1938-39 season, Washington won 23 out of 24 games, being tied only by Minneapolis West in a pre-season game. And for two straight years, Graiziger was the leading scorer in the St. Paul high school league, Sweden's most famous conserva tive student society, the Heimdal society at Upsala university, has adopted a change in regulations according to which nazi sympa thizers cannot belong to the society.
