play, the race for the conference
flag is .shaping up between Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Colorado
with the Huskers having an edge
ever their opponents.
Following up in a third place
tie are Kansas State, Missouri,
and Kansas. The school that can
be assured as to where it can
place is Iowa State who is de
stined to end up in the cellar, a
place . cherished by the Corn
buskers last year.
X U at Iowa State
Nebraska players will have the
opportunity to pull further in
the lead this week-end if they
can grab both games from the
hapless Cyclones. Oklahoma and
Colorado will also battle in a two
game series. If the Sooners can
whip the Buffs in both conlesti.
the Colorado batsmen, can also
throw in their .towels and take
their places with the also-rans.

Tennis Play
Continues
Second round singles play and
first round doubles play will be
the order for Thursday's intra
mural tennis schedule as 50 men
will vie for further advancement
on the University, tennis courts.
Thirty-four first round win
ners in the singles competition
will be the center of attraction
at 5, 6, and 7 p. m. The doubles
will come into their own with
four matches on tap for 8 p. m.
Friday will see, if possible, the
completion of the doubles' first
round and it appears that next
week the participants remaining
are in for a rugged schedule.
Because of the unfavorable
weather conditions that have
hindered play and if any further
difficulties arise, those reaching
the third and fourth rounds may
be forced to play more than one
match per day. By orders from
the University administration all
intramurals must be completed
by May 39.

The University of Nebraska
will be host to 781 high school
track and field stars from 231
schools, representing the largest
field ever to compete in a stats
high school classic in Nebraska
this Friday and Saturday.
Prepsters from the panhandle
to the Missouri, from the sand
hills to the Republican Valley
wjll invade the campus to cheer
their favorites on in hopes of a
victory. A record crowd is ex
pected to witness the "Cream of
the Nebraska Crop" in action.
First Trip to N.U.
For many of these students, it
will mean their first trip to Lin
coln and the University's campus.
Will they go back home with a
good first impression of their
state "University, or will it mean
a cold, forbidding mass of build
ings that breed fear and con
tempt. You, the students, coaches and
faculty are the ones, to answer
that question.
It hasn't been so long that
you can't remember your first :
impression of the University.
Was it a good one? Did you '
have a feeling of not being
wanted?
Most of the competitors will -be
from smaller towns and '
schools and are not familiar to '
the hustle-bustle of students '
rushing from building to '.
building and classes to classes. '
They come from towns and '
schools where they know
everyone and if they don't '
they speak io strangers and '
soon make friends. Nebraskans '
pride themselves In being '
friendly and hospitable. Let's '
show these prospective Husk- :
ers that we. here at the Univer
sity, are also friendly.
Chancellor G usfauson.
Coaches Glassford. Good and "
their subordinates and not "
overlooking Messrs. Clark, '
Klein and Rentier have done
much to foster "Husker Spirit
tbruout the 'state. They have
traveled many miles, giving '
speeches, visiting schools, wit- '
nesfftng footoall -and -basket-
ball ames to promote the Uni
versity. Nebraska is in its re-build
ing stage. A lot depends on how
many athletes come to Nebraska
within the next year or twtf.
On Way Up.
After ten years of being tnv!
on by other schools of the con
ference, things are beginning to
look up. Coach Good has g'';n
us two consecutive h' tna'.l
crowns more than any er
basketball coach has done Icr the
Huskers. Coach Glassford will
fi?Id a team this coming fall
that will take the r-'k-seat to
no one when it comes to fieht
and spirit. Tabbed the "dark
horse." I predict some surprising,
but pleasing results next falL
This week end will be the de
ciding factor to a it of atnletes
as to where they will go to school
rext fall let's bring them to
Nebraska.
