Heavers
Lorcnz, Wilkins,
Jacupkc Captains
This coming Saturday the Ne
braska Cornhuskers will trod over
the Memorial Stadium sod for the
last time this year when they
encounter the Oregon State Beav
ers in the final game of the sea
son. The Husker gridders will this
Saturday try to give to Nebraska
faithfuls their first home win of
the year. Improvement in the
play of the team has been com
ing along in fast style for the
past three weeks, and in the past
two games against Kansas and
Oklahoma, victory was but a step
away from reality.
The Oregon Staters are more on
a level with the Huskers ,and
although they are rated fifth in
the Pacific Coast League they
promise to give Coach Lonie
Stiner, a former Nebraskan, a
showing of which he can - be
proud.
Seniors to Captain.
Captains for Saturday's contest
will be seniors Gene Wilkins,
Freddie Lorenz, and Gerald Ja
cupke. These three will be play
ing their last game in Cornhusker
uniforms. Lorenz and Wilkins
stalled the year as the first string
guards with Jacupke close behind
all season. In the Kansas game
Jacupke hit his peak as he led
Husker linemen, playing his best
ball of the year. The loss of
these three men will leave a big
gap in the now-potent Husker
line when next fall rolls around.
Scarlet Line Praised.
The rest of the Husker line has
received praise for its showing in

Four Conference
Schools to Attend
Delegates from four of the seven
Big Six schools will attend the
student meeting- sponsored by the
University Student Council for
discussion of racial discrimina
tion in conference athletics.
The first sesion will open in
Lincoln at 9:30 a. m. Saturday.
Council President Harold Mor-.t-r
indicated the discussions will be
principally concerned with how
far the northern student bodies
wish to go in demanding elimina
tion of discriminating conference
regulations.
Resolutions have been passed
by student bodies at Iowa State
College, the University of Mis
souri and the University of Ne
braska, asking that Negro students
be permitted more participation
in conference athletics.
Missouri Backs Council.
In lieu of a delegation the Mis
souri Student Government associ
ation sent its resolution to be
used as a vote at the Lincoln
meeting. The Missouri resolution
advocated that any student in
good standing should be allowed
to participate in athletic events
held at Missouri.
Robert E. Byers, president of
the Missouri association, stated in
a letter to the council, "Due to the
short notice of this meeting, a del
egate could do no more than pre
sent this resolution."
Acceptance of the council invi
tation has not been received from
the University of Kansas. Ac
knowledgement of the invitation
was sent the council by Tom Yoe,
director of public relations at
Kansas.
Oklahoma Silent.
"Two wires were sent the Uni
versity of Oklahoma," Mozer said.
"But no response has been forth
coming." It is assumed that Okla
homa will not attend.
The issue of racial discrimina
tion was labeled "unfair" last
Thursday by Walter Kraft, ath
letic council chairman at Okla
homa, according to press dis
patches from Norman.
Kraft said, "This is unfair, be
cause no racial discrimination rule
exists in the Big Six. Missouri and
Oklahoma are the only schools
that do not allow Negroes to play
on their athletic teams, and that
is something that is out of the
hands of both schools' officials
since the states enforce segrega
tion laws."
Bridge Meet
Set by Union
Duplicate bridge tournaments to
be held Dec. 6 and 13 in the
Union will begin the series to
choose contestants for the na
tional intercollegiate and Big Six
bridge tournaments.

to determine finalists for the in
tercollegiate tournament. The col
leges of the country have been
divided into zones according to
location, Nebraska participating
in the Western zone.
Two colleges from each zone
will be represented by their six
teen finalists at the national play
offs in Chicago in April. Winning
teams from Nebraska will be
given a trip to' Chicago for the
playoffs.
