And George Lucas, another
starter, picked up an injured

week. In all probability he will not

games on the roster.
Squad Reduced to 21.
The Husker3 temporarily have
a squad of 21 players. 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."

Vermillion, S. D., Dec. 16.
Coach Carl B. 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.

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.

were a source of constant delignt
to the audietjce.
"White Space" Speaks.
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!
