Sunday, February 18, 1945 THE NEBRASfCAN Wings Smack Bombers 59-32; Ed Ehlcrs Stars Hopes entertained by the Colorado Springs Super bombers, that of a second straight victory over the Lincoln AAF iron quintet, were sent hurtling earthward Friday night, as a capacity crowd of 8,000 witnessed a 59 to 32 Wings triumph. The Superbombers racked up the first score of the game when Kleppe tossed in a free one on Ehlers' foul. Jake Ahcnrn opened the scoriiijji Ueauly . . . (Continued from Page 1.) for the Wings a minute later, when ho looped one through for two points. Within seven minutes the Wings possessed a 9-2 lead by virtue of three charity throws and a long one apiece for Ahearn and Krafft. Ahearn found the range early in the game and swished in two more counters from a challenging distance. Ehlers then took a pass from Krafft and skipped in for a neat lay-up. Regan of the Super bombers next cut the cords for their first field goal, only to have Lumpp counter it with a high cor ner shot. Dunks First Goal. Goose Tatum dunked his first dual counter by taking a pass from Ahearn and stretching up to drop it over the rim. This initial effort was overshadowed as Su- perbomber Biggs lobbed in three goals from the middle in quick succession and Joe Regan went high in the air to claim the final bucket and narrow the halftime score to 22 to 14. The Superbombers took com mand for the first few minutes of the final half as Regan, Kleppe and Marsh racked up a basket apiece. The Wings soon had the situation in hand again, as Ahearn repeated one of his long ones, and The Goose hooked one overhead for two points. For approximately a minute it appeared as if the Wings and' Su perbombers were going to thaw out and produce the caliber of ball of which they are capable. There was a brief exchange of goals, highlighted by some fast, accurate passing on the part of Ehlers, Krafft and Lumpp, with Goose Tatum tipping one of Ehl ers' short ones in and stretching out for a lay-up over the middle. Fillers, Lumpp Take Over. After intermission it was Eddie Ehlers, ex-Purdue star, and Ray Lumpp, New York flash, that took over the scoring for the Wings, with Tatum and Krafft serving: as feeders. Hendren, the 6 foot 8 inch giant that put the skids on the Wings in their last game, was kept well under control by Jake Ahearn's clever face guarding. The game was hard fought most of the way, but the brand of bas ketball displayed was not compar able to that of the Globe Trotter Air Tec battles. The summary: 1945 Cornhusker where pictures of the winning candidate will be printed. Make First Selection. The first beauty queen elimina tion was held in the union ball room at a tea dance, Nov. 17. Thirty-eight candidates were sub mitted by organized womons' groups according to their number of Cornhusker sales. Representa tives of men's groups on the cam pus chose 12 beauty queen final ists from the 38 candidates. Tlie six beauty queens whose pictures will appear in the Cornhusker were chosen by the faculty judges from the original 12. The 12 beauty queen finalists chosen at the tea dance were "Hink" Aasen, Janice Blakeslee, Joan Bahar, Kay Detweiler, Marge Dillman, Barbara Emerson, Bon nie Hinrichs, Lois B. Johnson Anne Phillips, Babbette Stenger, Janice Schwartzer and Bette To- bin. Aclors (Continued from Page 1.) even the Thursday audience. While the Thursday night action moved hesitantly in places, the actors feeling for their punch lines, the Friday production was played with assurance and ma turity. Swanson Shows Confidence. Complete confidence and stage presence characterized the per formance of All is Swanson, whose Sabina was played Fri day night with a freshness and vitality which made her the fa vorite of the packed house. From the opening curtain to the end of the play, Donald Kline, han dicapped by a voice growing hus kier by the act, certainly equaled his standout opening performance and the best acting of the play was the impassioned chariteriza tion of Cain by Avrum Bondarin in act III. Perhaps the most difficult role was that of Mrs. Artrobuf, which the experienced Jean Kinnie played with sympathy and real- I.lnmln () Colorado Sprint (32 Krafft f l.umpp f Tatum c Aht-arn g Killers g 3 7 0-1 4 5-11 5 2-4 6 2-3 0-0 3 Marsh I 1 hand I 3 Craham f 4 Renin f 4 .

That brought the Betas into sole possession of first place with three wins and no losses. Right behind them are the Pioneer Co-ops, with two wins, and the ATO's and the Sig Eps, who have two wins and two losses apiece The games this week will pit the Brown palace against Theta XI; Cornhifsker Co-op vs. ZBT: and the Phi Gams, who surprised the Brown Palace a week aco. 37-13, against the Sig Alph quin tet. All these games will be played on Thursday nite starting at 7:30. There will be no games on Tues day because of the Wings' game. Gordie Ehlcrs, intramural di rector, said he is in favor of hav ing an indoor track meet, and if possible, a swimming meet, all houses interested in either of these events should notify Gordic at the ATO house before next Sunday.

After the game he talked to the KU coach who said; "Those Ne braska boys were just too hot for us. There was nothing we could do to beat them." The captain also talked to some of the Kansas players, and there was no men tion of the roughness that Phog Allen so bitterly denounced. All of which leads me more strongly to believe that Phog s charges were just to cover up lor the wal loping Lew's boys gave .him. SOUR GRAPES ? P.P. One very odd angle The state of Nebraska is now officially to be known as the Cornhusker state. Yet it was swiped from the fair state of Iowa. Believe it or not, a student reporter on an early edrtion of The Nebraskan referred to the Iowans as the Cornhuskers. For some reason the Iowans passed up the name for their present Hawkeye, and I imagine they have been sorry ever since. And so, by an odd combination of circumstances. Iowans can sing their Tall Corn Song and yet the Nebraskans can now really call their state the CORN- IllUSKER STATE. ism.

The evidence on which the discussion will be based consists of a great number of let ters which have been received from citizens scattered widely over Nebraska and the western part of Iowa recording their di rect experiences in connection with the daylight fireball of Jan. 6. These letters are considered of particular interest by scientist because they contain first hand accounts of an experience which comes to few people during a life time and will be avialable for in spection. Professor Collins dis plays a map model showing the path of the fireball as it traveled across the state of Nebraska. For Better Values Every Day!

In the new library the refer ence books will still be conven iently available, in the four large reading rooms, but they will be supplemented by some fifty thou sand books on open shelves, ac cording to Mr. Lundy. Here the student will be able to brouse among and read not only the books to which his instructors may have referred him, but a great many more on a wide va riety of subjects. lie will no longer need laboriously to look for them in the card catalog and ap ply for them at the loan desk. There will also be book slacks, but they will house the research collections. Graduate students en gaged in special studies will be assigned desks in the stack area. This expanded program of library service calls for a new. concept of the function of the librarian in charge of each of these reading rooms, Mr. Lundy stated. His responsibility for teaching the students how to make effective use of a university library increases. He becomes, in fact, an instructor in methods of study in addition to being what he already is, a helpful assistant in locating specific information.
