Tuesday in the 1948 season openers.
The Huskers won Monday's battle, 10-8, and walloped
we uauas, i exas school, 19-7, in Tuesday's encounter.
.In the opening game, the Huskers put .on a two-run
eighth-inning rally to oreaK an
8-8 tie and win the game. Elroy
Gloystein was the winning pitch
er for Nebraska. He relieved Jim
Sandstedt in the sixth inning
Gloystein gave up five runs in the
sixth before retiring the ,side and
then blanked the Mustangs the
rest of the game.
Groran Tops Hitters
Bob Grogan was the Huskers'
top hitter. He cracked two doubles
and a single in four trips to the
plate. The two doubles were the
only extra base hits of the game.
Bob Schleiger and Bob Cerv each
hit two singles for the Cornhusk
ers. Southern Methodist's all-Amer
fcan football player, Doak Walker,
Lynch and Jensen, each hit twice
for the Southerners.
Tuesday's one-sided contest was
marked by errors, .wild pitching,
walks and passed balls. The game
was close until Southern Metho
dist's Billy Knott took over the
pitching duties in the sixth. He
gave up ten runs off eight hits.
Cerv Collects Three
Bob Cerv was the Huskers' big
gun at the plate. The Weston
slugger hit three times, one a
homer, and scored three runs.
Hobe Hays and Willard Branson
also collected a home run apiece.
Bob Schleiger, Husker first sick
er, hit two safeties.
Three Nebraska hurlers saw
action and held the Mustangs to
two blows. But the SMU cause
was helped by seven walks and
four Husker enors. Angelo Os
sino, only veteran Nebraskan to
hurl, struck out two and walked
one in pitching two innings of
hltless ball. Jack Helmsing was
given credit for the victory.

IM Department
Offers Another
Spring Event
If Nebraska University's intra
mural activities swing into action
on a new front Monday, the inter
fraternity and independent motor
scooter 1948 tournament will take
the spotlight.
1947 Tourney Largest.
L-ist year s tourney was one
of the largest in the school's his
tory with 400 teams in the com
petition. Thigma Drinka Stronga
Beera walked off with the in-
ter fraternity championship, and
the Magnanima Moronas copped
the independent title. Thigma
Drinka won 249 matches while
losing only one, and the Moronas
were victorious in all 250 of their
matches.
No Big Mogul Declared.
No all-University champion
was declared due to the shortage
of high octane gasoline which is
needed to run the scooters. Each
of the two championship teams
will receive a two-inch trophy,
and the individual team members
will be awarded tickets to the
Vaughn Monroe dance in the
Coliseum on Ivy Day.
Same Rules.
The rules for this year's tourna
ment will be the same as those
in previous years. Each team
must have four scooters in every
relay race. A white flag will
be carried by each driver as he
makes his speed run around the
stadium track. The flag will be
passed on to each driver until
all four have circled the track
20 times. A beverage stand will
be erected in front of the judges
box in the east stands. Beer and
Scotch will be given to any driver
who desires a slight pick-up.
Entries By Friday Morning.
Entry blanks must be sub
mitted to 1709 Coliseum before
3:00 a. m. Friday. The intramural
department urges all interesting
groups to compete in this thrill-

Gopher Board
Accuses UN
Of Foul Play
If the University of Nebras
ka is guilty of the charges, Min
nesota University had a perfect
right to accuse the Cornhusker
school of luring their student
basketball manager away from
Minneapolis.
The Gopher athletic board
charges that Coach Harry Good
lured Minnesota's ace student
manager, Sven Svcnson, away
from his duties with the Golden
Gophers cage team by offering
him more water bottles per game.
Only comment from the Ne
braska camp was that Minnesota
had used Sven long enough and
that he should be passed around
to some of the other schools. The
Husker athletic office is prepared
to meet any armed attack from
the far-north school.
Fern Fun
Classes sehedaled to meet in
University Hall will not be held
tomorrow. The Audobon Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Birds has requested that students
be removed from the building
following a nervous breakdown
en masse by large number of
our "feathered friends" whose
home construction and vocal work
have been seriously impaired by
the presence of "people."
If the duckpin tourname.it
means anything to Nebraska ath
letic females, it will beirin Mon
day, April 32. The complete time
schedule for the 60-day tourna
ment will be posted on the stop
sign just west of the Social Sci
ence building Sunday night.
All teams interested should
notify the W.A.A. office not later
than Wednesday. March 31. If
your scheduled time is not satis
factory to all members of your
team, that's too bad. You lose. 1
The semi-finals of the badmii
ton tournament will be played

Stratton and Branch wil! battle
Misses Battey and Stuht. The
winners of this game will meet
