The start ins lineup has not been named yet, but it will be chosen from players who participated in an inter-team practice game yester day. On one team were Tom Dworak, Al Artman, Kenneth Hol lins, Russell Eisenhart, and Elza Kuhlman. The opposing team was made up of Rex Mitchell, Russ Ledger, Stewort Tangeman, Earl K."gor, and Eldon Potter. Keserves for the first string will probably be chosen from the fol lowing five squad members: Morris Gaiter, Doug Nelson, Pat Rooney, Gordon Baker, and Harry Johnson. Since the South Dakota team is as unexperienced as are the Husk ers and is also composed mostly of freshmen with no navy players, the Huskers expect to make a good showing. Coach- Lewandow- ski stated tnat Nebraska has a very good chance and "if the boys plays as well as I know they are capable of playing, we should make it a good home game and an exceptionally interesting one." 31UL BY JEAN WHEDON. Finals were played off in the Nebraska ball tournament with the Delta Gamma's coming out on top, as they did in soccer baseball. In the semi-finals, the Tri Delta defeated the Chi Ome ga's and the DG's took the Alpha Chi's. As soon as possible after the All Star teams are chosen, the varsity game will be played.

Hoy of the Uni versity of South Dakota Coyotes, will bring his basketball squad of ten players to Lincoln Saturday for the first Nebraska home game of the season. The two teams are evenly matched, as far as experience goes. Minnesota defeated the Huskers, 40 to 21 last week and took the Coyotes 56 to 31. Leading the Coyote attack against the Nebraska team will be Robert Schroeder, who was the high scoring Coyote in the, two games Dakota has played so far. "At Minnesota game, Schroeder was the outstanding man on the floor," Coach Hoy said. "I expect great things of him at Lincoln." The starting lineup for the Coy otes will probably be as follows: At forward positions, Charles Gir ardi and James Crosby, two fresh men; center, Donald Schnepf, guards, Schroeder. and Morris Winter. The reserves who will come to Lincoln are: Russell Halvorson, Duane Reaney, Thomas Littlejohn, Lloyd Kvers, and William Kunze. Coyotes Meet Reduced Scarlet Squad Tomorrow at Coliseum many teams as it wishes. Volleyball is being played in girls' intramuials for the first time this year. Because so many requests for a volleyball tourna ment have been made, the sport has been added the intramural program. Games will be played in Grant Memorial beginning next week, and the champion will be decided by an elimination tournament.

Elmer Sprague, former Btudent back on furlough from the army, had this to saybout the produc tion : " 'Hay Fver' was done breezily enough to make anyone sneeze with appreciation." (Writ er's note: Brings back memories of White Space.) Agnes Jensen, of the faculty, commented: "Clever play, held in terest of audience, players well-selected for parts." Wilda Kreuger, university otu dent, found the play "most enter taining with never a dull mo ment." Maurine Evnen, catching the mood of the play, came out with, "I say there, it was delightful really it was.'' In the part of Jackie Coryton, Bettie Grossman would have been a problem to anyone who was watching for her to step out of character. With a Brooklyn accent and a constant, half-dumb and half scared expression on her face, she never forgot she was Jackie Coryton instead of Bottie Grossman. Randy Salisbury as Sandy Ty rell, the ignorant boxer, stole the laughs, in his own unique way, from the moment of his first en trance. One would have to see the performance to get the full effect. Don Keough and Vic-Ferris, as Simon and David Bliss, both por trayed their characters well. Play Moves Fast. The play, as a whole, moved so fast that it might have seemed a little too dramatic, even for a keyed-up audience. Keeping up with the Blisses was almost as tiring to the audience as to the guesLs who spent their week end there. Bill Miller, student, echoes this sentiment with, "The play was well-acted, perhaps no more over done than was necessary." Another student, Charles Roberts, appar ently decided that keeping up with the Blisses was easier said than done, havincr written that "the nlavcrs were well picked, and the play shows that it has been well rehearsed, but I didn't like the jstpry." The players attempted to :sc an Knglish accent which was rather hard to understand at times. The production might have been more effective if they had this season. Both the Raiders and Doane are undefeated so far this year, and both teams are com posed of former high school and professional basketball stars from all over the nation. Coach of the Base basketball team is 1st Lt. Stanley H. Hall, physical training director. Pre vious to entering the army, he was voted as the most outstanding basketball coach in Illinois. His squad of twelve men has been working out since November 15 and now rates , among the top service teams in this part of the country. Probable Starters Named. Starters for the game have not been released yet. S. Sgt. Marce D. Feit, former professional player is a good bet for a starting forward. He is a very fast and accurate player, with a reputation for hav ing a good eye for the basket Pfjc. Kenneth Myers from Penn sylvania, also a forward, is a good defensive man and a hard driver. Sgt. Finis Pritchard, mem ber of last year's all-Base squad will make a strong bid for a starting forward post. He is an accurate passer and an excellent shot, usually making several spec tacular long shots during a game. S. Sgt. Tony Koval, six foot-two inch player, is most likely to start as center. He is a smooth ball handler and very aggressive usually coirys up with the ball in a souffle. Sgt. Victor Tanski, guard, is also expected to start for the Lincoln team. The Air Base -Doane game is scheduled to start at 6:30, and will be followed by the Husker game at 8 p. m. eliminated the accent. It hardly seems worth sacrificing some of the funniest lines in order to cre ate an English atmosphere. The students who built the set hail a headache before the play when Director Berne Enslin dis covered that they had painted the walls with bright yellow stripes instead of chartreuse. Sure enough they did it all over again. That barometer which fell off the wall in the third act wasn't an accident, as some folks thought. It was an ingenious device rigged up by means of a loose nail and a hole in the wall, with Jean Racine at the other end. Those three pictures on the walls of the set were the result of another of Berne Enslin's little versatalities. He painted them!
