THE NEBRASKAN
Sunday, February 10, 1946
Iowa Mermen
Win 63-21
From Scarlet
Iowa's swimming team won
eight of nine events on the card
as they defeated Nebraska 63-21,
at Iowa City Friday night in the
Huskers' first meet.
Bill Burr of Lincoln, Nebraska,
swam to Nebraska's lone victory,
when he captured the 220 yard
free style in 2:33.6.
John Halldorssen of Iceland, a
student at Iowa and co-captain of
the Hawkeye team, set a new Ice
landic record of 5:15.3 in the 440
yard free style. The old record
was 5:20. Halldorseen said the
record would be entered in the
books of his country.

especially outstanding. Jean
Thompson, cast as Santuzza, took
the most difficult role in the
opera and made every minute of
it count. Her excellent soprano
and dramatics made three scenes
memorable: the moving church
scene, her great aria ("Well do
you know, O Mama"), and the
tense duet with Alfio which oc
curs just before the intermission.
The rich baritone of Leonard
Blinde, as Alfio, blended beau
tifully with Miss Thompson's
soprano in this duet.
Martyne Akerson, in the second
feminine lead, made the part of
Lola a bewitching one. All eyes
were on her during the scene in
which she crossed the square,
flirted with Turiddu at Santuzza's
embarrassment, and coquettishly
tossed a rose to Turiddu before
entering the church. Her vibrant
contralto offered a pleasing con
tract to Miss Thompson's soprano
The part of Mama Lucia was
played by Helen Laird whose
mezzo-soprano carried well above
the orchestra.
Tenor Bests Laryngitis.
Tenor Burl Beam, who had
suffered from a laryngitis so
acute that he had not spoken for
two days before performance date,
did an admirable job of carrying
on. Despite singing only in half
voice (to avoid "breaking" and
losing his voice completely) his
tenor carried remarkably well.
His acting in the tense, final scene
was well done.
The "Intermezzo," the best
loved selection from the opera,
was given a sustained reading by
Dr. Westbrook, the orchestra and
organ. The orchestra was also
heard to advantage in the "Pre
lude." The difficult "Serenade,"
heard off stage before the action
of the opera began, was sung with
style and feeling by Robert Parks.
The University Singers handled
the five choruses competently.

rapidly winding up their regular
schedules, the intramural depart
ment is busy planning playoffs

nament will get underway at 8

playoff for championships.
Betas Cinch "A" Berth.
Beta Theta Pi in "A" league II
seems to be the only clear-cut
champion at this time. In almost
every other league, ties may be
expected. Most campus organiza
tions have been strengthened by
the addition of former players
who have returned to school.
The championship playoff prom
ises to be exciting with plenty
of close play.
A new feature of the program
will be the addition of a Navy
ROTC tournament for Navy teams
only. Starting at 7:10 n. m., Tues
day, February 12, the tournament
will continue on successive nights
until a champion is declared.
As there is a large number of
unorganized men on the campus,
Coach Lou Means is planning a
basketball tournament for inde
pendent teams. This event will
commence following all playoffs
on Friday, February 15.
With the ending of the three
championship playoffs, the victors
are scheduled to meet for the all-university-
championship.
Form Independent Teams.
Several new independent teams
are now being organized. Any
men desiring to play on these
teams should call at 207 coliseum
and get lined up at once.

Jan. 1, 1941, was the final game
of his college career.
Action in Italy
The citation was awarded for
gallantry in action near Mount
Belvedere, Italy, on Feb. 20,
1945. Captain Luther went ahead
of his company with a small de
tachment of men to scout out the
enemy positions on the summit.
He setup an outpost about midway
between his front line and the en
emy positions, and was spotting
the hostile emplacements when
the enemy launched a counter-attack
against the small detach
ment. While one of his men attempt
ed to contact this battalian head
quarters by radio for support,
Captain Luther held the enemy
at bay with fire from his sub
machine gun and hand grenades.
As the small group maintained
their position, enemy snipers fire
hit Captain Luther and killed him
instantly. His men continued to
fight until help reached them and
they were able to complete their
mission by consolidating their po
sitions on the summit of the
mountain.
