Test Sooncrs
Here Saturday
Oklahoma trackmen will pro
vide the last opposition to Ner
braska's indoor squad previous to
the conference meet, when they
appear here Saturday night. The
meet is scheduled for 7:30 under
the east stadium.
Top race of the evening will
pit three, and eprhaps four, of
the loop's top half-milers against
each other in what should be a
thriller.
SOONER BILL JACOBS, son
of the Oklahoma coach, has been
consistently under two minutes
for the distance, and has the sea
son's best mark with a 1:57.8
against Missouri.
He will challenge veterans
Harold Kopf and Jim Martin.
Martin was conference indoor
king last year, and Kopf was
NU's top outdoor 880 man last
spring. Another potential entry in
the event is quarter-miler Loyal
Hurlburt. Hurlburt found the
distance to his liking in the Kan
sas State dual, and turned in a
fine 1:58.7.
Other top duels will be the
mile, with Jacobs doubling, hur
dles, pole vault, and the two
mile. RAY MAGSAMEN will en
counter plenty of opposition in
both hurdle events, Hobo Gilstrap
in the lows, and Jim Findley in
the highs. In the low hurdles,
Magsamen and Gilstrap share the
best seasonal mark with :0(5.9.
The winner should better the
meet record of :07 set by Ne
braska's Bill Smutz in 1941.
The Sooners' to pentry in the
highs, Jim Findley, has been
turning in creditable perform
ances in all of Oklahoma's meets
this winter. Nebraska's hopes in
the high sticks were boosted with
the news that Bob Berkshire,
who has been suffering from a
bad cold, would probably be

should provide the Turk with a
strong test.

Retherford
Strengthens
Scoring Lead
Claude (Hip-Shot) Retherford,
the greatest scorer in Nebraska
cage history, boosted his season's
total to 230 with a 20 point ef
fort in the Oklahoma game.
The Rook now leads the Big
Seven scoring race in both total
points and per-game average. In
the six conference games to date
his total is six points better than
that of Bob Petersen, five foot
eight inch sparkplug of the Iowa
State club.
Since Coach Harry Good
switched him to guard early in
the season, Claude has been scor
ing more consistently for the
Huskers. His average now stands
at 15.17 almost four points better
than his nearest contender.
BUS WHITEHEAD, towering
center of the Cornhuskers has the
third highest average in the con
ference with 11.83. This average
is just short of the 11.86 boasted
by Colorado's center, Bob Ro
lander. Also high on the list of scorers
is former Husker Gene Petersen
who has tallied 83 points in
eight conference games for the
Kansas Jayhawks. Petersen was
second highest scorer in the Big
Six for the Huskers in the 1945
46 sen son.

Athletics Rise
BY BOB PHELPS.
Dally Nebraakaa Kport Kdltur.
Contrary to pre-season beliefs,
Husker athletics are way on the
road to the top. An overall look
at the records shows that the
Cornhuskers are having one of
their best all around seasons for
many moons.
Ignoring football, all other
sports are either on top or near
the top in the conference. Bas
ketball is the surprise of the year
according to several midwest
sportswriters who picked the
Huskers for a second division
berth. We hate to say it, but we
thought that this was coming way
last year, by looking at the fresh
men team.
Taking a look at the late win
ter sports, we find Nebraska in
the second place slot in Track and
Swimming.
We must pa
GG
Not only the steel we use must pass a rigid test ...
We have a "board of examiners" which tests the merits
of all the operations of our company.
That "board" consists of our employes, our customers, and
our stockholders the three groups which have a primary
interest in our business.
We believe it is to the benefit of the entire social order that
ve operate our company in the best interests of these three
groups. And they give us some pretty tough quizzes from
time to time.
We believe our customers deserve the very best product
we can manufacture at the lowest possible price. Our em
ployes are entitled to steady employment, good working
conditions, and the highest possible income consistent with
the economics of the business. Our stockholders should have
a reasonable return on the capital they invest in our business.
Our constant purpose is to maintain a fair balance between
these three groups.
In every college community in the country, one Or more
of these groups is represented. How well do our principles
work out in practice?
TAKE EMPLOYES. In the last six years, the number of IH
employes has increased from 60,000 to 90,000 an increase
of 30,000 jobs. In the same period, the average straight
time hourly earnings of our factory employes have in
creased 92.6.
TAKE CUSTOMERS. Last year we produced more goods and
services than ever before. Customers benefited from the fact
that our margin of profit on sales was one-third less than
in 1941.
TAKE STOCKHOLDERS. They have had fair return on the
savings they have invested in our Company. Dividends on
common stock last year are equivalent to 5 on the book
value, as compared with 4 in 1941.
TAKE THE COMPANY. Last year we had profits, after taxes,
of 5A cents from each dollar of sales. We believe most people
regard this as a reasonable rate of profit.
We know it is our continuing ability to earn a reasonable
profit that has made i possible for International Harvester
in the past year to serve more people customers, employes,
and stockholders in greater measure than ever before.
Profits mean progress for everyone.
We hope to be able to continue this record with each suc
ceeding year in the future.
