Thursday, October 21, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 NU Cagers OpenPractice This Week . Coach Harry Good's cagers opened practice this week on the Coliseum courts. Eight lettermen have returned and with" a fine group of sopho mores from last year's freshman squad they should give the team much needed depth. The most serious loss will be Neal Mosser, a fine floorman, by graduation. Big Seven Conference coaches have tabbed Oklahoma as the team to beat for the title this season. On paper, the Sooners are the most well-rounded team in the Conference. Kansas State, who will be out to defend the crown which they won last year, has lost few key men and must depend on untried replacements. Missouri will come up with a team equal to or above last years, and should also be a seri ous contender. League darkhorse will be the perennially tough Kansas Jayhawks. They have lost the sensational Otto Schnellbacher by graduation, and Jack Eskridge by the new cligility rule, but they still have crafty Phog Allen at the helm, so Big Seven op ponents had better watch their step. Last call for frosh cagers is Friday. Daily practice sessions will begin Monday, Coach Good announced. The freshman sessions this year will be divided into two groups to handle those with late classes. The first session will start at 3 o'clock, and will be. out at 4:20. The second session "is to be from 4:20 to 5:30. Both groups will be handled by frosh coach, Tony Sharpe, Sport- ifeXz, Coed Capers There will be a mooting of the swimming club Thursday, Oct. 21, at 7 p. m. at the Coliseum.

It's a bit rough to drop a sophomore in for his first varsity game against a team like Notre Dame. Frank Collopy was a standout, both of fensively and defensively. His punts were excellent considering tthe 20 mile wind. Chick Story also punted well. I believe Chick is now fully recovered from his early scrimmage hurts and should help us the rest of Ihe way. Art Bauer was in the thick of it." "There is a new day coming. And it will require new blood to bring the dawn of that day. We came out of the game in good physical condition. Gerald Fer guson's bloody nose was the extent of it. It's Kansas this week. We started our victory string against the Jayhawks in 1945. We hope history will start repeating for us." those comprising the nucleus ot the squad. Numeral winners that will hold places 611 this year's team are: Ed Craren, diving; Bill Greer and Bob Phelps, swimming the breast stroke; Tom Harley and Ted Kanamine, in the freestyle shorts. George Hill is a freestyle distance man, while George Boomer will swim backstroke. Last year's squad, who won five of nine meets, will feel the loss of Bruce Allen, in the sprints, Dean Porter in the distance swims and Dick Bell, who place third in diving in the tank loop. To fill in these vacancies, Coach Lepley encourages all eligible swimmers, including freshmen, to compete in the Intramural swim ming tournament to be held No vember 8, through 12. Additional team members will be selected from those giving good perform ances. "Keener competition between squad members makes for keener competition against opposition," said Mentor Lepley.

The season's opener will be away from home against Kansas University, January 8, and the first home meet will be Iowa State, here, February 4. 9 HOME COMING Days 'Til Homecoming Coach Potsy Clarkhad much to, that I had known for a good many say in his weekly letter to Corn- nights.

It wasn't enough because Notre Dame was moving with the precision of a Swiss watch and the power of a rocket ship. He continued 'Our younger players were given a thorough lesson in football the value of team speed, precision and the tre mendous edge a team has when its backs refuse to be knocked off their feet until the last pos sible inch has been gained."
