Dick Hutton's recent marriage
broujght forth an odd tale regard
ing the wedding ring used in the
ceremony.
According to the Nemaha Coun
ty Herald, the ring was first used
41 years ago when Mr. and Mrs.
Luther Hutton, sr., were married.
Mrs. Hutton wore the wedding
band for years until it was broken
and lost.
The ring was recovered and
taken to an Auburn Jeweler to be
repaired. Several changes in own
ership of the jewelry store result
ed in the second loss of the ring.
When Mr. Hutton, sr. went to
Auburn recently to buy a wedding
ring for his son, he was handed
the long-lost ring. So it was used
when Dick married Kathleen
Whitfield.
Coach Tony Sharpe's Nubbins
wound up the season with only
two defeats, while winning 13
games. The margin of victory in
most of the Husker B games indi
cates that the Nubbins should be
given stiffer competition next sea
son.
Difficulties In scheduling: games
with state colleges are bound to
be encountered, for the state
quintets regard the tilt as "noth
ing to win and everything to lose"
contests. Maybe the Nubbins will
have to go outstate for games, but
meetings with state college B
teams scarcely provide exercise
for the Husker B team players.
Headline writers can unfurrow
their brows a little now that the
Big Six (mid-west) faculty com
mittee has stated that Big Six will
be the accepted name of the con
ference, at least until the spring
meetings in Lincoln on May 22
and 23.
At that time faculty heads and
athletic directors will get together
to provide a new name for the
league.
Husker trackmen are uncertain
just what their next move will be.
It was originally planned to take
a few performers to the Chicago
relays on March 15, but with
Coach Weir in the hospital for a
three week period, no definite
plans have been made.
Outdoor squadmen have begun
to work out under the east sta
dium. The indoor track layout
now is a medley of athletes, what
with baseball players, football
early birds and trackmen making
use of the facilities.

Phi Gams Trip
Beta Thcta Pi
In IM Battle
In the only playoff came Dlaved
Wednesday night, the Phi Gamma
Delta five turned back a hard
charging Beta Theta Pi team by
the score of 24-23.
The winning margin came for
the Phi Gams in the final seven
seconds of play by virtue of a
successful free throw attempt. The
foul called was a double foul and
it proved to be the determining
factor of the game.
With both teams playing tight
offensive ball, the Betas managed
to cling to a 11-9 advantage at
half time. At the start of the sec
ond half, the Betas counted two
baskets and looked as if they were
off for another victory.
However, the Phi Gams were
not to be denied and they pro
ceeded to rack up ten straight
points before the Betas hit the
noop again, wnn less man two
minutes to go, little Don Hamil
ton combined with guard Paul
Hyland to knot the count for
Betas at 23-23.
The loss knocked the Betas from
all possibilities of a share of the
title, and it left the Phi Gams
with the job of beating off Sigma
Chi, and Delta Upsilon for the
championship.

Alexander Graham Bell was a teacher
of the deaf. He was also a trained
scientist who made it possible for
millions upon millions of people to
hear each other by telephone.
The telephone brought something
into the world that had not been
there before.
For the first time people were able
to talk to each other even though
separated by long distances.

try was born, destined to employ
hundreds of thousands of men and
women and be of service to everyone
in the land.
Alexander Graham Bell was a great
humanitarian, not only as a teacher
of the deaf, but in his vision of the
benefits the telephone could bring
to mankind.
Bell's vision has come true. It keeps
on being an essential part of this
nation-wide public service.
