Neiv Sports Dep't. Address . . .
Pat. "T nm thinkinV Chambcrlin dissenited so fullv on
tihs Anderson & Five Girls routine Monday that the sports
desk today moved into the back room of George's brewery.
We thought the move necessary to remove all traces of
feminity from this department. Such feminine stuff as flow
er Ml the desk, covers on the typewriters or perfume in the air
has no connection with sports writing. Give us a lusty spitoon
or the whiff of suds.
This snnrts department is not vet a one-man affair. Henrv
Fishback, our all-round coverage man, still glances at his nary
V-l papers and sij?hs. Gene Sherman, a marine reserve, has
lately given uphis intramural beat for full concentration on
studies.
Abbott, Jacobs and "Red" Baurmeister, late of this sheet,
have already picked up ways of the army since their recent
ROTC activitation. Abbott was chewing a nail this morning
in place of his customary match. Jacobs and Baurmeister have
learned to whistle at the frails.
University of Nebraska ROTC trackmen still have hope
of competing in out of town cinder carnivals.
"I'm going to talk to Colonel Murphy again today," said
IM Weir, "I was informed a week ago that my ROTC boys
might obtain permission to take the two trips we will take."
Jim Brogan, ROTC distance trotter, reported for duty and
was promptly sent by Mentor Weir thru a trial 880 whirl. An
other cadet officer, Jack Hazen, tossed the spear over 180 feet
several times during a casual Monday drill.
Continued improvement of Al Zikmund with the discus
indicates that all is not ttark and ble?V along the weight front.
Intramural activity at this writing was slowed by the ac
tivation to a veritable standstill.
Illness of Tom Brogan, "man behind the pencil" in in-
romnr;.! n fa firs, via Son riot fever ouarantine has left the of
fice wide open. Seven softball matches were postponed Monday
night and no definite date has been slated lo luuui me posi
non pm out.
Question is: Can the matches be arranged so the ROTC
boys can play? That means the games must be in the future
dated for 4 n. m. Size of the nroCTam necessitates eight matches
played on four fields in the space of two hours, so again enters
the time ancle.
.."I'll see Colonel Murphy as soon as possible to see what
arrangements can be made," said Koine uorney, neaa in
tramural director.
A Northwestern Man Now!
Ex-Husker
Matins Visits
... In Lincoln
Navy Lt. Chris Mathis,
former Husker grid mite who
played a lot of football for
Dana Bible back in 1930-32, is
a Princeton university man
now.
"I'm a college man again and
brother it has been rough go
ing," the lieutenant declared
when he dropped into Lincoln
the other day. "They really
bear down when you're in the
navy. But it's a great life.
"And say guess who my of
ficer was," continued the ex
147 lb. halfback. "None other
than old Jic Milne. I under
stand Johnny .Howell is. at
Dartmouth. He's a college guy
again too. Another ex-Lincoln
fellow I ran into was Claude
Cummings, who I think was
graduated from Nebraska in
1936."
Hoosiers May

Pinal examinations versus track

nounced that in all probability Lou
Saban. shot nutcr. will be Indiana's

Earl Mitchell might represent the
Hayesmen at the JJrane ciassis ai
Des Moines.
SweeDinjr the distance medley
and the four-mile events at the
1942 Penn Relavs. the Crimson
thinlies completed a decade of un

in either the Drake or Penn Relays
as both are on the same day, the
Indiana quarters have cleared
eighteen winning races eleven at

. . . Scrimmages
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. April
20. After a 40-minute scrimmage
on Wednesday, Coach George
Hauser gave his football team no
rest yesterday and handed them
another scrimmage equally as
grueling as the weanesuay session.
One casualty resulted from the
game. Clint Gross, guard on the
"B" team, was carried to the side
lines with an injured left leg.
Grose hurt his other leg in Sat
urday's game. The combination
of these two injuries, both of
which were fairly serious accord
ing to Trainer Jim Hunt, will
probably put Grose out of action
for several weeks.
Running from his left half post.
Red Williams broke loose for two
touchdown runs yesterday, and
right half Chuck Avery scored
one. The first team, behind a line
that had several newcomers in
it, had slightly more trouble scor
ing than on Wednesday. How
ever, such veterans as curr An
derson, Dick Burk, Paul Mitchell
and Bob Solhcim patched up the
holes to hold the second string
scoreless.
work out at every opportunity.
Thus, come what may-in the way
of inclement weather, work outs
must go on.
The loss of junior letterman
Dave James to the army makes it
imperative that several point win
ners be developed from the fresh
men ranks.
In three indoor meets Jame
picked up 34 points while compet
ing in the high jump, broad jump,
high hurdles, and low hurdles.
