THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Sportscoop
BY RALPH STEWART ,
IDailjr Nebraska Knorta Editor)
On September 18 Sports Scoop made his debut. Today
he bows out of The Daily Nebraskan sports picture.
In four months he has had little chance to become
known to The Daily Nebraskan readers and hence he re
mains almost a complete stranger.
A bitter battle with news print shortage forced Sports
Scoop to take a back scat and make room for what he felt
was a better coverage oi intramural ana varsity sports on
the NU scene.
And in bidding adieu Sports Scoop wishes to extend
a sincere "thank you" to the many who helped make his
task an easier one and definitely a more pleasant one.
To scribes" Fritz Simpson, Dick Lebbs, Jim Miller, Lee
Harris, Harold Abramson and Leo Geier a special thanks
is directed. Working in the face of many hardships, this
group of reporters cheerfully and willingly assisted Sports
Scoop in turning out the copy which appeared on The Daily
Nebraskan sports sheets.
A more than cooperative hand was given to Sports
:oop by John Bentley, publicity director who was always
available with invaluable assistance. Likewise Mr. Bent
ley's secretary, Mrs. Husted, and his right hand man, Jack
Donovan, did much in making sports reporting more enjoy
able. To Lou Means, director of intramural athletics, and his
secretary, Mrs. Grossman goes sincere appreciation. The
job they did through the past semester was a most valu
able aid to Sports Scoop,
Swimming Coach Hollie Lepley, who also assisted with
the intramural program, Football Coach Bernie Masterson,
Basketball Coach Harry Good, Track Coach Ed Weir,
Gymnastics Coach Charlie Miller and Wrestling Mentor Pat
Patterson also responded with a willing and cooperating
attitude.
To these and to all others, who, in minor and major
ways, helped make the job of reporting Nebraska athletics
so pheasant, Sports Scoop, extends a sincere thanks.
And to his successor, Fritz Simpson, he wishes a world
of success. May Fritz find his new undertaking an enjoyable
task, as did Sports Scoop.
