Thursday, September 22, 1949 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE o o WW' Jack Best Race NU Tradition For 19 Years Jack Best, Nebraska trainer around the turn of the century, has been a part of the intramural system since 1930 altho he was never directly connected with the intramural program. In recognition of the beloved old trainer, the I. M. department originated the Jack Best su premacy trophy. To the organiza tion securing the largest number of all-year points, the trophy was awarded. The award became the permanent possession of the or ganization winning it. The first trophy was won in 1930 by Tau Kappa Epsilon. The winners since 1930 are as follows: CAPTAIN Ralph Damkroger, DeWitt end, will be acting captain in the Husker's opening game with South Dakota next Saturday. Damkroger Named to Lead Huskers in Opening Tilt 210 pound end Ralph Dam kroger, DeWitt. has been named to captain the Cornhuskers in the first game of the 1949 football schedule. Damkroger will lead Coach Bill Glassford's men against South Dakota next Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Ralph has the unique distinc tion of never playing high school football before coming to Ne braska U. He lettered three years in basketball and track and four years in softball but never played on the gridiron since De Witt never fielded a football team. One other honor the big two year letterman holds is that of scoring two touchdowns against Minnesota. In 1947 Damkroger caught two touchdown passes in the Gopher game. Damkroger and his mates might have a little trouble tel ling the opposition from their own team next Saturday. Since the Dakotans have only one set of jerseys and they are red, the Huskers will wear white shirts, ordinarily worn on the road. Rich Reese is latest member of the squad to be forced to quit because of injuries. Rich, Omaha sophomore tackle, suffered a broken ankle in scrimmage Tues day night. Footballers on the doubtful list of Saturday's game are Bob Schneider, Nebraska City end, Cecil Voils, Lincoln end, Don Strasheim, Kimball fullback, and Virg Adle, North Platte tackle. Charlie Toogood, tackle from North Platte suffered a lip lac eration Saturday but will prob able play next week-end.
