The university was host Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday to the
state high school basketball tour
nament at the coliseum. With
thirty-two teams from all corners
of the state going into action, the
crowds were of standing-room-only
proportions, and brought
back memories of the packed
houses that witnessed the Lincoln
Army Air Field contests.
Along with the basketball
games, there were plenty of other
attractions for the outstate visit
ors. Coach Bernie Masterson in
vited the high school athletes to
view the Ilusker spring football
drills, Ed Higgenbotham's swim
ming team was in action against
Beloit Saturday afternoon, and
Track Coach Ed Weir conducted
a track clinic for high school
coaches and athletes at the in
door track under the east stadium.
With entertainment such as this,
the high school performers left
the campus with kindly feelings
towards the Husker athletic setup.
These programs are a strong force
in influencing high school stars
to seek higher education at their
own university, and perpetuates
the long-standing Nebraska tra
dition of having the bulk of the
athletic roster in every sport com
posed of home-grown performers.
In a move designed to put Uni
versity of Nebraska athletes under
the same eligibility requirements
that govern the rest of the con
ference schools, the university
athletic board in its meeting last
week petitioned the university
senate to remove the 12-hour sec
ond semester ruling.
This measure, in -effect only at
Nebraska, demands that an ath
lete complete 12 scholastic hours
during the second semester of any
year in order to be eligible for
competition the following year.
Other Big Six schools insist that
their athletes complete 24 hours
during the entire year, but do not
require that 12 of these hours be
during the second semester.
The faculty senate, rule making
body of the university, now has
the recommendation of the ath
letic board and must make the
next move. Their acceptance of
the board's petition will result
in an equalization of the require
ments. UN performers will then
be on the same eligibility basis
as the athletes of the other five
conference schools.

Squad 57-27
The Scarlet swim team, mak
ing its best showing of the sea
son, rolled over an abbreviated
Beloit college squad, 57-27, in the
Coliseum pool, Saturday after
noon. In a meet marked by close
finishes, Nebraska took eight of
nine possible firsts, losing only in
the 150 yard medley relay.
High scorers for the Huskers
was Orville Chatt, Tekamah, who
copped a first place in the 50 and
100 yard free style heats, and
turned in a winning anchor leg in
the 200 yard free style relay.
Chat, a second semester enrollee
fresh from the army, has devel
oped rapidly into one of Coach
Hibbingotham's star performers.
Moore turned in his usual ex
cellent performance on the board,
highlighted by a one-and-one-half
forward somersault with a full
twist that had the audience goggle-eyed,
to take an easy first in
the diving. In the distance events,
Fred Hamlen took third behind
teammate Bill Burr in the 220
