Four Relay Teams.
Heading the Nebraska entry list
are lour relay teams. The Scarlet
quartets will comnete in the one-
mile relay, the two-mile relay, the
lour-mne relay and the distance
medley relay.
Bobby Ginn. Madison distance
ace who won the NCAA mile
crown in 1941 with a clocking of
4:11.1 will pass up the Glenn Cun
ningham invitational mile accord
ing to present plans, to concen
trate on two relay appearances.
The wiry harrier will anchor the
distance medley team, running the
one-mile leg, as well as carry
ing the baton for the final 880 in
the two mile relay.
The distance medley combina
tion looks to be the best of the
Nebraska entries. With Harvey
Stroud slated for the opening 440,
Blaine Ypung on the 880 leg,
Dean Kratz ready for the three
quarter mile stretch and Ginn fin
ishing with the mile, this quartet
should be able to hold its own
with any team in the meet.
Potent Two Mile Team.
Another potent quartet is the
two-mile relay group. Veteran Al
Brown or Phil Myers will run
the first 880, followed by Blaine
Young, Kratz and Ginn. Brown
and Young have improved their
times in fine style this spring,
while Meyers, a Nelson, Neb.,
product, surprised both men in the
practice half mile last Saturday,

teams at Kansas Relays.
door championship, Nutzman is
regaining his indoor form.
A Question mark nn th
list is lanky Ralph King. Along
with Norval Barker, the Water
loo ace is entered in the 120 yard
high hurdles. After a long layoff
due to a pulled muscle, King's
form over the barriers was a bit
rusty this week, but if he should
flash the speed that brought him
second place in the Kansas Re
lays hurdles a few years ago, the
Husker could surprise.
Coach Weir has listed four men
for duty in the discus competition.
Leonard Hand and Leonard Wib
bels have been improving steadily,
and Hand's best toss this spring
measured 138 feet. Other weight
men entered are Joe Pappas and
Warren Eisenhart.

Action taken by the student
Kratz has apparently recovered councils at Nebraska and the Uni-
from the stomach disorder which
has dogged his appearances In
the Huskers' first two outdoor
starts. Last week he went the 3
mile in 3:12, and eaily this week
breezed through an easy 880.
A possible darkhorse is the
Huskers' all-freshman four mile
relay team. Stan Martin, Bob
Davis, Wayne Roads and Don
Yocum will make up the team
and may surprise other highly
touted entries.

Miller and Grote Threats.
In the individual events Dick
Miller and Herb Grote pace the
Scarlet entrants. Miller tied for
first place honors in the Texas
Relays with a vault of 13 feet, but
has gone higher during the in
door season. He is the Big Six
indoor and outdoor pole vault
king.
Grote was Big Six javelin
champ before the war and is
rounding into prewar form. His
best toss this spring measured 193
feet, although he has don 216 feet
in earlier days.

carry the Nebraska hopes in the
shot put. After losing the touch

not troubled by this problem. The
geographical location of member
schools makes the Negro question
a minor point. In the Big Ten. for
instance, the limits of the confer

lowa to Ohio. Thus no north-
south problem is involved. Other
leagues are either entirely north
or entirely south of the trouble

But in the Big Six the member
schools are predominately in a
north-south arrangement. From
Nebraska and Iowa to Oklahoma

and Oklahoma are bound bv uni

matriculation of Negroes.

bring pressure to bear upon their
faculty representatives letting
these gentlemen know of the stu
dent sentiment, then a full-fledged
controversy would rage.
Branch Rickey, president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team,
encountered a storm of opposition
when he announced that his club
had purchased Jackie Robinson,
an outstanding Negro athlete. Such
an outcry is to be expected in the
Big Six issue.
If the free thinking ideals of
our land are to be enacted, not
merely revered as meaningless
phrases, then the action by the
Big Six heads is clear.
The racial ban against Negroes
participating in conference ath
letics should be lifted. If the stu

Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Tau
Omega have clinched the top
places in their respective leagues
in intramural water polo competi
tion. Both teams sport undefeated
records. The Phi Delts copped a
sure first when they- won their
last scheduled game last week,
and the ATO's came out on top by
virtue of a 12-5 win over the Phi
Gams Monday night.
Dedrick, whose nine throw
goals and one free throw make
him the season's highest scorer
with 19 points, sparks the ATO
attack. The Phi Delt team boasts
a 17-point man in Cady, and
Bauer and Black back him up in
a front line aggregation that has
given the 'ivory tower' boys a
total of 35 points during their
league play.
Championship finals will be
held Thursday night at 5:10. Phi
Kappa Psi, second-ranking team
in League I, meets Sigma Nu, the
runnerup in League II, in third
place playoffs at 5:15 the same
night. Friday at 5:10 the DU's and
the Phi Gams, number three teams
in their respective leagues, fight
it out for fifth place standing.
