Just a word of explanation con'
cerning Tuesday's page. The
stories about Coach Masterson,
the Big Six and the additions to
the intramural program were not
true. April 1 is usually April
Fool's day so the paper appeared
accordingly.
Back to business.
The week-long layoff which
will come op d urine spring vac
tion has both merits and defects
according to members of the
Ilusker gridiron corps. The ab
sence of workouts will be a pleas
ant vacation from the none-too-pleasant
chores of sprint drills,
bat at the same time the players
will have to return to the begin
ning of their conditioning efforts
when they return to the. mole
skins. -
Weather will continue to plague
the Scarlet pigskin camp. At the
beginning of drills the wind, cold,
rain and snow combined to pre
sent an unpleasant situation, but
suddenly the climate has become
summerish and if the langorous
days continue, the UN coaches
will have to combat the lethargy
of spring fever.

If you think Nebraska gridders
are older than usual, just consider
one of George Sauer's candidates
at Kansas university. Steve
Renko, tackle candidate, last;
played football in 1939, but is'
making a stout bid for a spot on
the 1947 Jayhawk eleven.
The veteran performer was a
regular end under Gwinn Henry
in his early days, but an automo
bile accident snapped bis career
for a time.
Even better is the tale cancern
ing the oldest intercollegiate
athlete in the nation. Charlie
Gardner is rated as a regular out
fielder on the St Lawrence uni
versity baseball squad. Charlie is
a mere 38 years of age .and first
attended the school in 1928.
A pair of Big Six basketball
players were in action on the
West all-star team which played
an East all-star quintet in Madi
son Square Garden last week.
These players were selected in
large measure by students who
submitted ballots such as those
that were printed in The Daily
Nebraska
Charlie Black of Kansas and
Dick Eeich of Oklahoma were the
conference players named to the
team. Black wound up the eve
ning with 11 points and Belch
had four as the West team cored
a C6-58 win over the East squad.
The complete roster for the
western aggregation included Paul
Hoffman of Purdue, Fred Curran
of Notre Dame, Charlie Black of
Kansas, Ralph Hamilton of In
diana, Ray Ramsey of Bradley
Tech. Red Rocha of Oregan State,
John Hargis of Texas, Herb Wil
kinson of Iowa, Gene Vance of
Illinois, Reich and Black.
Husker trackmen are looking
ahead to their next two relay ap
perances. The Kansas Relays at
Lawrence on April 19 and next on
the docket, followed by the Drake
Relays on April 25 and 26. In
view of the surprising perform
ances turned in at the Texas Re
lays, Coach Ed Weir's squad can
be counted on as a strong com
petitor. Don Cooper, Monte Kinder and
Herb Grote scored: victories in the
Austin carnival. Cooper won the
pole vault, Grote took the Javelin
and Kinder tied for 'first ta the
1'fh jump.. Give the rest of the
Scarlet team more outdoor work
outs and more individual stars
nay come to light.
Coach Weir is not devoting all
his time to top men however, be
cause the Big Six outdoor cham
pionships will be in a five place
affair .and the team with enough
depth to pk-k up third, fourth and
fifth place points can do much to
off&et a few individual stars.
April 10 is the first time the
outdoor squad will appear on the
Memorial Stadium cinders. On
that date Wisconsin and Missouri
wfl help the Huskers in putting
on an attractive triangular meet.

Any members of the Nebraska
football squad who thought they
had been slighted in last week's
scrimmage bad different ideas
following a second dose of con
tact work, the order of the day
for Tuesday.
First and second string players
kept away from the actual war
fare and ran through plays
against dummp opposition on the
main practice field, but the third
and fourth stringers plus a host
of Nubbins squadmen got their
share of aches and bruises in
scrimmage work on the freshman
drill field.

Line Coach Tony Blazine was
cracking the whip on the frosh
field1 as he pitted a white-clad
aggregation against the best op
position that Freshman Coach Pop
Klein could dig up.
Manning the forward positions
for the Whites were Bob Lapps
and Ed Nyden at ends, Mike Di-
Biase and Bob Harrington at
tackles, the Villars brothers at
guards and Jim Thomson at
center. ; "
Carl Dilldine handled the brunt
of the quarterbacking duties,
while Ken Fischer and Bob Reidy
cavorted at the halfback posts.
Darwin Salestrom opened at full
back, but Bob Mullen and Ken
Hollins also got a taste of the
line bucking location. George
Bostwick appeared for a time at
Fischer's halfback post.
Other linemen who performed
on the White eleven were Otto
Copenhagen, Jack Hazen, Dean
Gel wick and Jim McWilliams at
ends. Jack Evans and Fred Golan
at tackles, Keith Manning at
guards, and John Andrews at
center.
