THE NEBRASKAN
AS I SEE IT
CJuuJl
One of the modern legends of
the University is dead. Captain
Walter "Butch" Luther, running
back of the Nebraska Rose Bowl
teams, was killed in action with
the American forces in Italy.
"Butch" Luther was the stand
out of Lt. CoL Biff Jones' 1940
team which lost only to Minnesota
in the regular season and defeated
Pitt in the game thet brought the
Rose Bowl bid.
"The Butcher" supplied the
cunning to go in stride with Harry
Hopp's powerful off-tackle slants.
Many is the time that I remember
seeing opposing teams massing to
stop Hopp at tackle only to find
Luther around the other end for a
touchdown. The most heart
breaking experience in his career
was his 63-yard touchdown run
against Minnesota that was called
back because both teams were off
side. Perhaps Luther's greatest game
was the Rose Bowl game in
Pasadena. Luther's job was to
draw the Stanfords' attention
while Hopp and Francis worked
at the center of the line. It was
Luther's advances around end, and
Francis s blasts at the Indian line
that ended with Vike going over
the middle for the first score on
the seventh play of the game.
It is my suggestion that the
greatest tribute that the univer
sity can render one of its most
famous athletes, who died a hero's
death in "Sunny Italy" is to re
tire his number, 27, from use.
The state baseball tourney
will be held in the University
Coliseum starting Thursday
afternoon at 12:30. The admis
sion price will .be 65 rents for
all sessions except the final
one, for which the price will
be 85 cents. Service men nd
women will be admitted for
25 cents.

appreciation for their efficiency,
adaptability, self-sufficiency and
soldierly conduct under continual
changing working and living con

WAC in the European theaters
are working in General Eisen
hower's headquarters, air, ground

are also working in the office of
strategic services under the Eu
ropean Advisory Commission.
The WAC are non-combat units,
but two detachments are serving
near the front lines one in
northern Italy and one in south
ern France.' The WAC have lots
of fun teaching the French girls
how to play the game of basket
ball. Lieutenant Collonel Wilson
went on to state that only a few
days before she left her head
quarters in Paris, the news came
that a certain unit had been
bombed out twice. "We have
been lucky that not one single
WAC in the European theater has
been killed as a result of enemy'
action."

A. Lewandowski
Announces Plans
For Intrainurals
Athletic Director A. J. Lewand
owsky today announced plans for
an intramural baseball league con
sisting of four teams selected from
the fraternities and the Co-ops of
the whole campus. The four teams
will be split up among certain
houses, two, three, four or more
if necessary, in order that each of
the teams be fairly balanced. Lew
stated that the boys participating
would have use of the field house
for dressing and showering. The
university will also supply catch
er's equipment, balls, bats, and
sweat socks.
Since 'this sport will replace
softball in the intramural sche
dule, the winning points for the
Jack Best trophy will be divided
among the houses playing on each

Dworak opened the scoring as
he swished his first long archer
through, and repeated a moment
later with a one handed corner
shot. Barry then proceeded' to
dunk 12 points, helping consider
ably to create the 18-9 half-time
score.
The final period got off to a
slow start, and seven minutes had
elapsed before Roth's fielder broke
the ice. For the remainder of the
game the two teams scored on an

Kennedy includes Tallulah Bank
head, Katherine Cornell and Jul
ith Anderson.
A chain smoker, Mr. Kennedy
lighted one cigarette after an
other as he discussed the policy
of writing revolutionary plays.
This technique is permissable
only if it is justified, according
to Mr. Kennedy. In his opinion,
"Our Town," is the best play ever
written, in America.
Mr. Kennedy has appeared in
many eastern productions and
during college toured the country
with his original one act play.
Commenting on the new play,
"Room Service," which the UN
Theatre players are soon to pre
sent, Kennedy says the play is
one of the most amusing comedies
ever written.
