The Associated Press carried
a story concerning the Big Seven
'mess' Tuesday morning, in
which, they stated that the It
State beef was almost dead.
Tuesday's edition of the Daily
Nebraskan carried a story con
cerning who they thought should
represent the Big Seven. In the
story, many plausible reasons
were set forth in the Huskers'
behalf.
It cannot bo denied that any
one of the teams have a strong
argument in their behalf. The
reason the Daily Nebraskan came
out so strong Tuesday was just
in case the three-man committee
headed by Bruce Drake of Okla
homa changed their mind.
We did not press the matters
to the committee and neither did
nny University official as far as
we know.
Kansas State officials did noth
ing but create ill feelings amongst
the conference as well as District
Five as far as we can tell.
Coach Good issued a statement
to the press protecting the Husk
ers in case the committee yielded
to the pressure.
Coach Jack Gardner of Kan
sas State said that he had a long
talk with Dutch Lonborg, tour
ney head, and that Lonborg said
he' would go along with the se
lection. Lonborg will soon assume
duties as athletic director at
Kansas University the team that
was chosen to represent the Big
Seven.
Some think that Lonborg re
fused to conduct an investiga
tion of the selection because he
would be hurting himself. Lon
borg has a impeachable record of
true sportsmanship behind him.
He was a great competitor in col
lege and has a -great sense of fair
ness. It is only those with bitterness
in their hearts that could truth
fully think that he would not
consider it on the grounds that
he will soon be associated with
K?":as university.
Nebraska did not "beef and
wail" that thev had been rnWwd
The teams were very evenlv

14 Years as
Business Head
By Ira Epstfin
(Staff Nporta Writer)
Although the Nebraska ath
letes participate hi sports for the
love of the game, nevertheless,
a good business manager is
needed to handle Cornhusker
athletics.
In charge of the mechanical
end of all contest arrangements
is A. J. Lcwandowski, who is
the Cornhusker Athletic Busi
ness Manager. Tickets to all
sporting events are handled
through this office.
Besides handling ticket ar
rangements, Mr. Lewandowski's
office also schedules the use of
the stadium, coliseum, indoor
track, and Physical Education
building for the Cornhusker
athletes. For Information con
concerning where the Huskers
arc playing, the business office
knows the answers.
Assisting Lewandowski in the
business office are Miss Grace
Durkee and Mrs. Jane Gates.
Miss Durkee is the office book
keeper, and Mrs. Gates handles
the work involved with the
tickets.
During the rush seasons stu
dent help is utilized in circulat
ing tickets.
Mr. Lewandowski, born in
Chicago, attended Nebraska from
1926-1930. Participating in ath
letics, he favored football and
basketball.
Spending six years as a coach
at the University of Montana,
and one year with the Lincoln
school system, he came back to
Nebraska in 1937 and has been
here since then.
As a member from the fifth
district of the National Collegi
ate Athletic Association, Mr.
Lewandowski has been chosen as
director of the NCAA baseball
play-offs which will be held in
Omaha's Municipal Stadium
from June 15-24th. During this
time, the Omaha Cardinals will
be on the road.
Universities from the fifth dis
trict are Oklahoma, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota, and North Dakota. Usu
ally, the winner from either the
Big Seven Conference or the
Missouri Valley Conference rep
resents the fifth district in the
national play-offs.
In all, eight district will send
representative to play in these
games.

Bagby, a journalism major at
Boulder, submitted his first story

Milton Eisenhower, president

believes that the Big Seven
should do something about the
selection in future years.
Undoubtedly, the Big Seven
"wheels" will change the present
set-up.
Eisenhower also added that he
was glad that a team from Kan
sas was picked.
As far as the Daily Nebraskan
is concerned, the issue was closed
when the committee did the pick
ing, but since K-State "griped,"
we felt that we must protect the
Huskers' interest just in case the
committee did change their mind.

In Tuesday's edition of the Omaha World Herald,
Sports editor, Lloyd Olds
when he stated:

that they weren t being led well enough on trips. As a
result of their complaints, the squad was dined lavishly
on the last few trips. It could be that they were overfed
so actually ate themselves out of the championship and
NCAA playoff position.
When told of the article, Coach Harry Good answered:
"We did not vary at all from our training diet." Good's
statement is upheld by the players. The only complaint
that any had was the meal they had at Oklahoma and that
was not due to any fault of the University or Coach Good.
Good ordered the standard diet for the team, but the
quality of food given by the cafe was not un to nar.

Monday night.
The Sig Clams arc currently
heavy favorites to keep their un
beaten record clean and reign
as king of Independent basket
ball. The fieologists picked up
their eighth victory of the year
Monday by crushing: Ag
YMCA. 56-23. The regulars
worked only half the game as
they rallied behind the Yrlkin
brothers, dene and Jack, to run
up a 26-9 half time margin.
Top scorers of the contest
were Gene Yelkin with 15 and
brother Jack with eight. Charles
Nunlcy of the Sig Gams also
netted eight. Kenske and Zablc
carried the scoring load for the
Ag Y.

Dorm C ponied it on early
and then staved off a closing
rally bv the Pill Rollers to edge
the Rollers, 30-28. The Dorm
men owned a 20-19 margin with
two and a half minutes remain
ing before the pharmacists cut
loose on a scoring spree.
Vein Welch, whose two game
saving shots in the two previous
games had given the Dorm the
right tn meet the Rollers, was
l again the top man in the win

tal of 13 points to also lead the
scoring. Art Hinman contributed
eight to the winning cause.

Jim Walsh set a new indivi
dual point scoring record as he
led his Sigma Phi Epsilon mates
to a 58-30 triumph over Phi
Kappa Psi. Walsh's 36 points
eclipsed the old mark of 31 set
by Darrell Heiss o' Farm House
earlier this year.
Walsh netted eight field goals
and two free throws in each half
to amass his total. He made four
out of five free throw attempts.
Walsh was owner of the rec
ord for only two hours, however,
as Woody Pohn of the Luthern

of that game was 63-25, Lu-

Bohn meshed nine field goals
