least four Texas Relays cham
pionships April 1 at Austin, Tex.
It will be the first outdoor com
petition for the Wildcats this
year.
Rollin Prather, Big Seven con
ference indoor and outdoor shot
put champion, will seek his third
Texas Relays shot title and his
second championship in the dis
cus event. The Wildcat weight
man won the shot crown last
year and took second in the dis

Prather was high scorer for the
meet, winning both the shot and
discus.
Big Seven Champ
Herb Hoskins, State's brilliant

IS Has 30
Competing
for
Baseball "9"
AMES, Iowa Thirty Iowa
State baseball candidates are
still in the running for positions
on the 1950 Cyclone nine.
Cap Timm has reduced the
squad to 30 from more than
twice that number. He plans no
further cuts until alter the early
contests with Iowa Teachers and
Simpson.
Nine lettermen are on the
squad including the top three
pitchers from the 1949 squad.
The list includes Capt. Bob
Hencly, Dale Foell, and Bob
Sennewald, infielders; Ken John
son, Sterling Singley, and Don
Burgess, pitchers, and Bob Mc
Luen, Wayne Ford, and Leroy
Wiltsie, outfielders.
Veterans Back
Coach Timm has indicated, a
preponderance of veterans will
be in the lineup March 31, April
1 against Iowa Teachers.
Actually, though, the veteran
mentor will not be surprised to
see several sophomores break
into the starting lineup in those
four games.
Early indications are that Dick
Shoenhair will be at first with
outfielders McLuen and Wiltsie
as his alternates. At the infield
spots Henely, Foell, and Sen
newald have the arige at the
moment. Jack Delbridge is the
leading catcher while Johnson,
McLuen and Irving Stone, a
sophomore, are the top men in
the outfield.
Johnson, Singley, and Bur
gess are rated the top pitchers
again this year. Timm, how
ever, is looking for help for
them from a pair of sopho
more left-handers Jack Luh
ring and Burt Bushnell.
Tom Norris and Ray Stewart
have been pushing Delbridge for
catching honors and are all
ready to take over in case the
former Cedar Rapids star is not
ready.
In the infield John Guernsey
and Frank Swann appear to be
the sophomores most likely to
break up the veteran letterman
trio. Ford, Wiltsie, Gerald Oys
ter, Walt Burt and Paul Art, as
Well as McLuen and Stone, are
close in the outfield race. In
addition Timm figures to use
several of his good hitting pitch
ers in the outfield when they
are not on the mounds.
Indoor drills have indicated
more hitting power this year, a
feature most pleasing to Timm.
Water Basketball in Action;
Student Union,
The basketball season picked
up anew this week ,only now the
game is played in water.
Water-Basketbail took over the
intramural sportlight as the three
newly formed leagues started the
ball rolling, or floating, you
might say.
Fourteen games have gone by
the boards already with the vic
tories pretty well distributed
among the participants, suggest
ing the strength of the leagues.
Betas Lead
Lague I is currently being lead
by Beta Theta Pi with a record of
two wins and no losses. Since the
season's victories, the Betas have
taken victories over Sigma Phi
Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon
by scores of 10-0 and 9-4.
Fhi Delta Theta is holding
down second position with a
1-0 record, that win being a
3-1 triumph over Fhi Gamma
Delta.
The Phi Gams are in third
place along with Alpha Tau
Omega. Both own one win and
one defeat. The Taus dropped
their lone contest to the Fijis,
8-2, while winning over the Sig
Eps, 7-2.
Fifth and sixth places are oc
cupied by the Sig Alphs and Sig
Eps with records of 0-1 and 0-2.
Only two games have been
played in league II, but the two
winners being at the top. Sigma
Nu owns a 8-4 victory over Delta
Tau Delta and Phi Kappa Psi ob
With the indoor track season past history, Coach
Ed Weir will now set about the task of grooming a cinder
squad to carry Scarlet and Cream colors on the outdoor
oval.
The Cornhuskers will receive their first test on April
18 when they will travel to Law
rence, Kansas, for a dual meet
with the Jayhawkers.
Prospects for a good season are
fairly bl ight. The squad will have
several lettermen and a host of
strong sophomores. Last year the
Woirmen placed third in the con
ference. Sprints, Mystery
The sprints will probably re
main something of a mystery un
til after the first few meets.
"Hurryin" Harry Meginnis, Lin
coln, is the only returning letter
man in the short races. As a
sophomore he was conference
king in both the 100 and 220.
Other hopefuls are Lee Alex
ander, Plainview, and Billy Bak
er, Salina, Kansas. Both are
sophomores.
Loyal Hurlbert of Old should
be top man in the quarter-mile
race. Last year he was second
in the conference standings and
he turned in some good times
during his career. Barking up
Hurlbert will be Meginnis.
Cream of the 880 men should
be veteran Harold Kopf of Lex
ington who was sixth last year
in the outdoor meet. Other con
tenders are Ken Jacobs, Minden,
and Lee Moore of Grand Island.
Moore could do very well
among conference competition in
the mile although he is only a
sophomore; judging from his per
formances during the indoor sea
son. Other aspirants are Jacobs
and Gene Robinson of Oshkosh.
The main hopes for the 2 mile
lie in Bob Recce. Phillipsburg,
Kansas, and Dean Barnbell of
Sutton. Esref Aydin, the Turkish
runner, is out of school at the
present time.
Oustanding in 2?fl
In the 220 yard high hurdles
the Huskers have some outstand
ing men. Ray Magsamen, Albion,
was third last year and Bob
Berkshire ran in the fourth po
sition. Outstanding sophomores
are Wendy Cole, Weeping Water,
Bruce Engle, Central City and
Don Bedker, North Platte.
The 220 yard low barriers
should also give the Huskers val
uable points. Magasmen, Berk
shire and Cole are tops in this
event.
Both Charley Toogood. North
Flatte and Jim McConnel, Cen
tral City ran shov tie shot put
over 48 feet.
Don Cooper is fully recovered
from an indoor injury and should
do very well in the pole vault
Another top stratospheric per
former is Kehl.
Wayne Sees, discuss hurler
from Gordon, was third in that
event last year with a mark of
147 feet. Toogood will double up
in this event.
Javelin throwers Magesmen,
McConnel and Warren Monson
are all lettermen and have hung
up good throws in this event.
Chief men in the high jump
are Dick Meissner, letterman
from Omaha, and Ted Mead,
Scottsbluff.
Men capable of broad jumping
22 feet are Owen Brainard, Lin
coln, Ted Randolph, Ord, and
Roger Ritter of Kearney.
The thinclads handling the re
lay are Kehl, Kopf, Meginnis,
Cole ,and Hurlbert. The indoor
relay team was a good one and
the Huskers have good chances
in this event for the outdoor
campaign.
Betas Lead
tained a free win by forfeit over
Delta Upsilon.
Union On Top
The Student Union is currently
riding herd over the rest of the
field in League III with three
victories against no defeats. The
Unioner's victories consist of -a
16-8 win over Alpha Gamma
Rho, a 20-5 win over the Lilies,
and a forfeit win over the Luth
erans. Lutherans Out
According to Water-Basketball
director, Hollie Lepley, the Luth
erans have been dropped from
further competition for excessive
forfeits and all teams scheduled
with them can claim the victory.
These dates will be used to play
postponed games.
Thursday's paper will carry
the re-scheduling of the post
poned contests. Some of these
contests will be played before
vacation and the remainder
after school resumes.

Taus Are Terrific in
Rocking Up 60-41 Win
By Bill Mundcll
tArtlng SiHrtH Knltorl
With a blazing fast break and
teirific ball handling, the ATO's
Tuesday Right crushed Sigma
Gamma Epsilon, 60-41, and thus
lay claim to the title of All
Uninversity champion.
The Sig Gams were off their
usual game, but couldn't have
come close to the terrific Taus
on any day.
Teamwork was the whole story
as the Taus moved up and down
the court as a unit of precision.
Stars? The floor was full of
them. The whole ATO starting
team of Jack Carroll, Frank Col-
lopy, Hobe Jones, Doug Barry,
and Doyle Busskohl played a
brilliant brand of ball.
Two Score Twenty
Carroll and Jones were the
scoring titans as they both
grabbed a night's total of 20.
Carroll made his 20 in every conceivable-
manner except using a
step-ladder. Shots, that you'd bet
your bottom wouldn't score,
dropped through the nets.
Jones' point getting was
secondary . in ranking his
worth to the Taus. He con
trolled both boards so consis
tently that hardly another man
touched the ball under the
hoops. Two of his goals came
on beautiful tip-ins.
To add insult to injury to the
Sig Gams, Mack Robinson, the
ATO leading scorer wasn't
around the first half and didn t
play much of the second. It is
very doubtful, however, that his
presence could have added any
thing to the polished perform
ance that his mates were giving.
Sig Gams Fight
The Sig Gams, however, were
not hopelessly outclassed. They
fought all the way and made the
game a real contest for two and
a half quarters, but the strain
began to tell, and they tired
quickly.
Jumping Jack Yelkin, practic
ally assured of a berth on the
Ali-University All Star Team,
couldn't seem to get rolling dur
ing the game. His shots were all
short as if he were really tired
out. His rebounding was off his
usual par, too, though not com
pletely gone. He maneuvered
himself into the clear time and
time again, but his shots just
wouldn't go through. Four did,
though, and with a free toss,
gave him an evening's total of
nine.
Brother Gene topped the
losing scorers, netting a total
KS Team Might
Be Contenders
MANHATTAN. If Kansas
State can improve its 1949 team
batting average of .239, Coach
Fritz Knorr believes his Wild
cat baseball team will be a con
tender for the Big Seven crown
this spring.
Jack Nielsen, whose .373 av
erage made him the third-leading
hitter in the conference last
year, is gone from the Wildcat
ranks as is Dana Atkins who hit
.303. However, Knorr feels that
leather pounders like Dick John
son, outfielder; Dave Bremner,
first baseman; Cliff Schumacher,
catcher; and Dale Carr, short
stop, are due to break loose this
season and mek the 'Cat hitting
more frequent
. Stronger Club
. The 'Cat coach says his club
will be stronger in fielding and
pitching this season. Last year,
Jack Dean, now the property of
the Topeka Owls Western As
sociation team, carried the brunt
of the hurling load, winning 7
and losing 3.
Two sophomores and veteran
Duane Holder, injured most of
lasst year, will give Knorr his
pitching punch. Holder won only
one and lost six in 1949. The
sophomores are Perk Reitemeier,
who tossed in the Indiana semi
pro ranks last summer, and Jim
Iverson, from Platte, S. D.

As was the case this year, it will be next year. Meisner took
practically the whole load in his pet field event.

of twelve. Three swishers from
far out helped him garner his
12.
Chuck Nunley played a good
game all the way through. Re
placing Yelkin at the pivot spot,
he added some timely markers
to the Sig Gam running total.
All told he earned eight points.
Taus Start Fast
With Hobe Jones leading the
way, the Taus ran up a 6-0 lead
and stretched it to 10-2 with
four minutes gone. The tempo
slowed and the Taus lead at the
first quarter, 15-9.
Manager, guard, Doyle Buss
kohl added the first of his nine
points to up the margin to eight
points and that s the way it
stayed for most of the second
period. Half'time read 27-18 for
Alpha Tau Omega.
The Sig Gams kept the margin
about the same during the first
s.ix minutes of the third stanza
largely through the work of Nun
ley. With 14 minutes to go the
score stood at 39-29.
Then the champions went to
work. They upped the reading
to 43-29 as they went into the
final round, paused while the
Sig Ga,ms scored a couple and
then scored four for every ge
ologist point from there on.
Nine straight Tau points to
wards the end padded the lead.
Seven of these nine were sent
spinning through the hoops by
Carroll on some nifty assists by
Jones, Busskohl and Collopy.
The largest Tau lead was 25
points with two minute remain
ing. With the score standing at
60-35, Cal Nuss and Gene Yelkin
personally dropped in six. One of
Nuss' two pointers was arching
towards the nets as the final bell
rang.
