Tntrnmural track and fioM athletes commenced firing; Wed
nesday night at a task that is well nigh impossible betterment
of the current records.
Such past Oornhuskcr luminaries as 'Red Littler, Ki Eisen
fcart and Ralph Worden hold intramural marks which compare
favorably with college marks over the country. Henceforth,
the current crop of intramural einderites, depleted by Uncle
Sam's demands, can hardly expect a wholesale revision of rec
ords. Shot Put 49-2, K. Eisenhart, Phi Gamma Delta 1940-41.

Two-lap relay 55:1, Beta Theta Phi, 1940-41.
75-yard and 40-yard dash events were not negotiated dur
ing the 1941-42 affair.
This April Fool business provoked one of our proteges, a
would-be sports scribe, to scribble a column in spirits of the
day. He obtained the spirits from Freddy's, then proceeded to
pound 'ell out of his Corona.
"According to Bo Podink, varsity baseball coach, three
veterans limped out for spring practice. All the veterans have
seen 55 seasons with the Nittany Nine, two of them having won
wound stripes in the Bettysburg encounter back in '02. Two
of the boys kept in shape, playing croquet for the Old Man's
Home during the winter.
"Windy Sidewinter, veteran hurler, met with a slight
accident when his flowing whitcbeard caught in his spikes
and tripped him. Except for this unfortunate accident, the
team is in tip-top creak form, according to Podink. The boys
are sort of green, having played only 55 seasons. However,
we shall play our schedule right through to the bitter end. I'm
going to make the first cut pretty soon.
"What the hell. Ten men came out, and I only need nine!"
His piece completed, our scribe wanned his motor and flew
out the window.
An athletic board meeting last night was required to give
sanction to the April 17 Oklahoma A. & M.-Corrnhusker tri
angular and the three-man Husker trek to the Texas Relay
Saturday.
Spring Game
Contemplated
... By Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. March
31. Spring football practice will
begin Monday, April 5, Dr. George
Hauser announced yesterday.
Practices will continue dally un
til late in May. The season will
terminate with the annual spring
practice game May 15, which will
be played for the benefit of the
Red Cross this year.
Equipment will be issued to
prospective gridders thruout this
week. Since service calls have
seriously cut into football ranks,
there may be ample opportunity
for servicemen who expect to be
on campus next fall.
This would apply especially to
meteorologists.

Wildcat Team
Opens May 1
. . . Against Jayliawks
MANHATTAN, Kas., March 31.
Kansas State will be in at least
one track meet this spring. Kan
sas university has promised to
send its track team here May 1
for the meet which will be in
Memorial stadium.
Last year in a dual meet at
Lawrence the Wildcats won 81 to
50. "The prospects for victory
are good this year, also" said
Mike Ahearn, director of athletics.
Since both teams have been hard
hit by the loss of men to the
armed forces, the teams will be
rather evenly matched. Kansas
State is looking forward to a
close and interesting meet.
The previously planned triangu
lar meet with Nebraska and K. U.
has not materialized. Plans for
th Big Six conference meet and
the meet with Washburn have not
been finishd as yet.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March
31. Coach Dave MacMillan and
his baseball team have been pray
ing for good weather for the past
week, and yesterday the sun shone
enough for the team to get outside
for their first real workout. In
door practices have confined hit
ting and outfielding drills, and
MacMillan concentrated on these
two departments in the outdoor
session.
Spring vacation drills were held
in the fieldhouse twice daily, and
were mainly concerned with
chalk-talks, bunting, hitting and
fielding practice. Dick Seibert,
first-baseman for the Philadelphia
Athletics, and Angelo Guiliani,
catcher for the Washington Sena
tors, talked to the boys at the first
meeting and gave out some valu-

. Intramural
BY HENRY FISHBACK.
. Finals of the big annual intra
mural spike carnival rolll off the
cinder reel under east stadium at
7:00 o'clock tonight with the ATO
and Phi Delta squads pacing the
pack.
Individual stars held the spot
light in Wednesday eve prelimi
naries in dominating the qualify
ing. Footballer Roy Long and Ned
Nutzman topped Phi Gam per
formers, Parkins and McKee
sparked Phi Delta Theta while
Cooper of Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
Luther of Delta Ppsilon and Clark
of the Farm House were other
highlighters.
Most crucial duels tonight are
expected to break out the 45 and
60 yard sprints where Long and
Nutzman tangle with the ATO's
Parkin and McKee. Panrkin hot
footed a 5.3 45-yard dash and a
6.6 60-yard race Wednesday to
rate the edge. Sig Alp's Cooper
warrants a change to triumph in
the 60 yard distance by virtue of
a 6.6s qualifying heat.
Eyes will also be on Vic Clark,
Farm House strong man, who
shoven the iron ball out over 48
ft., Anderson, Phi Delt broad
jumper who covered 19 ft. 5
inches and Ken Kratz who'll battle
the versatile Parkins in the
hurdles.

Gains Color
... At Relays
LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 31.
Proof that miracles never cease is
easily seen in the drastic change
which took place in the Boiler
maker fieldhouse. Who would ever
think that such a drab, colorless
place could be both colorful and
spectacular?
what was once a monotonous
brown and grey color was changed
to an array of bright colors in
honor of the Purdue Relays. Much
of the credit for the decoration
ideas must be given to Coach
Phillips.
After the usual delav of getting
a coed into the Boilermaker field-
house, first I became aware of
colors, red, blue, green and white.
Men ktpt coming in finishing
last minute details. Some just
stood around looking up as I did.
Contestants with warm up pants
began their limbering up by
trotting around the track.
