The Nebraska diamond men
will lay their hopes for a Big
Seven crown on the line this Fri
day and Saturday when they hi
the road for Ames, Iowa, anda
two-game series with the cellar
dwelling Iowa State Cyclones.
This is a crucial series for
Coach Sharpe's crew. The games
with Iowa State can either make
or break the Huskers.
The Husker hopes will also be
riding with the outcome of the
double header between second
place Colorado and third place
Oklahoma.
I-State Jinx
"These two games with Iowa
State are always tough. The Cy
clones always give Nebraska a
rough go but I hope we can break
the jinx this year." Those words
by Coach Sharpe sized up the
games between Iowa State and
Nebraska.
In Good Shape
The Nebraska squad is in good
shape physically for the coming
series. The return of Second
Baseman Hobe Hays to the line
up should bolster the Husker hit
ting department. Hays has missed
the last seven games because of
an injury but he will be able to
take over his full-time duties this
Friday and Saturday.

Alumni in
Re-Match
With Varsity
The "Old-timers" are at it
again. This time, Husker fans
will get a second chance to view
the 1950-51 basketball squad
against the Alumni tonight at
7:30.
The main purpose of the game
is to give the visiting high school
students a chance to see what the
Nebraska basketballers look like.
The game is open to the public,
and admission is free.
Contrary to the opinions of
many sports fans, the grads
barely edged out the Varsity,
64-61 in their last encounter. Be
fore game time, many prognosti
cates gave the alumns a 20
point edge over their younger
opponents. Judging from the
outcome of the last game, the
oldtimers are again in for a
scare.
Again leading the cider squad
will be Bus Whitehead in the
center slot and Claude Rether
ford at guard. Whitehead broke
all Husker scoring records last
season, and Retherford was high
scorer on the 1949 Big Seven
championship team.
Same Teams
Also adding scoring punch to
the team will be Joe Brown and
Bob Gates, guards from last
year's squad. Other boys work
ing with the Alumni will be An
ton Lawry, Larry Walsh, Dick
Schleiger, Dick Srb, Henry Cech,
Ray Jussel, and Kenny Ander
son. Also tabbed for work with
the "Old-timers" is Neal Mosser,
present coach of the Omaha Tech
cagers.

(Sports Editor, Daily Nebraskan)
Welcome to the University of Nebraska's campus!
For the next two days you, students and athletes from
various high schools throughout the state, are guests of
the University. We hope that your stay here will be pleas
ant and to the seniors, we hope that you will return to
our campus next fall.
To those who are competing, remember, there can: be
only one winner the rest must lose. Tom Daley, former
sports-caster for WOW, used a quotation to sign off the
air. I'd like to use part of it to tell you what the Univer
sity's policy is in regards to athletics.
"Its not whether you won or lost, but how you played
the game."
That one little sentence tells the whole story, barring
nothing. Sometimes its very hard to lose. Americans are
great winners, we pride ourselves in our accomplishments
and sportsmanship. We are also good losers.
A good example of an American loser is Barney Ewell
who, along with Harrison Dillard, was competing in the
Olympic games in London last year. You all remember how
Dillard hit a hurdle in the Olympic try-outs and did not
qualify, but how he came back in the 100 meter dash to
qualify.
Getting back to the Olympic games, you well re
member how Ewell thought he had won the 100 meter
dash, but the judges had picked Dillard by a hair. Ewell
was disgusted, but he had no malice in his heart he was
happy that his friend had won.
To those who are winners, I congratulate, to those
who were not fortunate enough to win I congratulate and
to all, I sincerely hope that you will look over our campus,
our school buildings and our athletic department and then
decide to come to Nebraska U and make it your school.
