THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
KS Negro Firsl
To Play in Big 7
A Kansas State Negro boy,
slated for first string center posi
tion on this year's Wildcat team,
may soon have a chance to equal
in Big Seven football what another
Robinson has done for major
league baseball.
Harold Robinson, no relation to
Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn
Dodgers' great second baseman,
will be the first of his race to
i ihn uiu Spvpn conference.
Just us Jackie Robinson was the
first Negro in the National League.
Wildcat Coach Ralph Graham
said that Robinson would defin
itely play, since there is no ruling
Dr:jinf thp iisp of Necro players,
and the representatives did not
pass one.
This seems to stem out 01 uiu
fact that the University of Ne
braska's Student Council started
Kali rnilinu in this direction a
year ago. Our student government
strongly favored the formation of
a new conference, excluding tnose
member schools which did not
okay the participation of Negroes
in Big Seven play. A unammoub
approval from the other six
schools later was received, al
though it raised a controversy in
two of the conference s souinem
representatives.
f.rahnm described Robinson as
good on both offensive and de
fensive play, with an edge to the
i "TT's nlentv fast for his
size,"' said Graham, "and one of
the best line backers we ve iwu
for some time. If he continues to
cVinw the improvement he has,
there is no doubt he'll play a lot
of ball this year."

Seven, Nine Man Leagues
Set for Intramural Football
The 1949-50 Intramural Pro
gram began shaping up after a
second meeting of the IM man
agers Wednesday night and some
definite decisions being made.
First, was the consideration of
volley-ball for this year. With
20 of the 26 fraternities repre
sented, the vote was 16 in favor
of the sport, which was more
than enough to insure the fra
ternities of the winter game. The
Intcr-denominationals also cast a
vote yes for volley-ball.
The sport will be played be
tween football and basketball and
Charlie Miller IM director, said
that he would try to arrange
schedules so as to leave some
time for practicing basketball.
The nveilaupine of volley-ball
mid the practice time for the
cage sport was the main objec
tion.
Also discussed thoroughly, was
the question of seven or nine-
man football with the settlement
finally being resolved to this:
There will be two games of
touch-football this year a nine-
man game and a seven-man
eame and a tronhv awarded to
the champion of each. Fraternities
have the option as to wnicn type
of the grid-sport they wish to
play. Seven-man football will be
played as close to tne ruies 01
six-man football as possible,
while the nine-game will possibly
have some rule changes, subject
to the approval ol tne partici
pating teams.
The inter-denominationais win
submit their preference with
their entries and the majority
will rule. Independents will play
the seven-man game this year to
insure getting most ot eacn icam
to each game.
Deadline for entries in loucn-
football is 5 p. m. Friday, the
23rd. Fraternities should state
which type of the sport they are
entering, and the Inter-denoms
should state tneir prererence. xso
entries will be allowed after the
deadline and play will begin on
Monday or Tuesday.
