It was back out into the cold
for Bill Glassford and his
charges Monday afternoon as
the Husker practice session was
livened-up by near freezing
Weather. ,
The first string varsity had
the day off as far as contact
work was concerned, however.
Working out in sweat togs, they
centered their emphasis on
learning plays, both offensive
and defensive.
The second string varsity men
Were back at hard contact work
With the freshmen furnishing
strong opposition.
This Saturday the Huskers
face mighty Minnesota. Al
though the Golden Gophers
were beaten by Washington
University, 28-13, in the opener
for the Minnesotans, they al
ways are tough on Nebraska.
The Huskers have won only
four games while the Gophers
have collected 25 victories.
And the fact that the game
will be played in Minneapolis
makes the task even tougher as
far as Nebraska is concerned.
The Huskers haven't defeated
Minnesota on their home field
since 1902, a mighty long
drought.
Ten Straight
Even though Nebraska has
lost the last ten straight to the
Gophers, the prospects are
brightening.
Washington's victory was the
first over the Northlanders
since the beginning of the 14
game series and the Gophers
might be ripe for another set
back. The Washington victory
proved that the mighty Minne
sota forward wall can be dented
and that is what the Huskers
Will have to do to win.

Yanks Favored
2-1 Over Phils
The New York Yankees will
enter the world series 2-1 favor
ites over the National League
Philadelphia Phillies.
The 1950 pennant was the first
the Phillies were able to stow
away in 35 years. But at the be
ginning of their series with the
Dodgers it was beginning to look 1
like they might have to wait un
til next year and try again. The
Brooklynites almost had enough j
Fteam in the home stretch to !
take the bacon home.
The odds will be stacked
against the Phillies but they are
used to this role. The Dodgers
were rated the favorite at the
m beginning of the season but the
Phillies held a commanding lead
over them up to the last two
weeks of play.
The way the races finally
ended found the Yankees three
games in front of the Detroit
Tigers and the Phils two games
in front of the Dodgers.
Stan Musial won his fourth
National League batting title
with a .346 total. Billy Goodman
copped the American League
title with a lusty .354.
Students to Form
First Soil Society
An attempt is being made to
form the first student chapter in
the country of the Soil Conser- I
vation Society of America on Ag
campus.
All students interested in form
ing a chapter should attend a
meeting Tuesday at 5 p.m., Room
203, Experimental Station hall,
on As campus.
Temporary faculty sponsors of
the project are Roy Peter Matel
ski, R. D. Curley and K. K.
Young. The Lincoln chapter of
the society is also aiding in or
ganization of the chapter.
Reynolds Honored

prisingly good showing against
Indiana, over 1,500 spectator
tickets to the Minnesota game
had been purchased in Lincoln
and now it is a safe bet that
over two thousand of the faith

ward. Iowa State currently enjoys a
brief rule at the top of the con
ference standings with one vic
tory in as many starts. They are
expected to share the lead spot
with Kansas after this week's
activity. They Jayhawkers are
heavily favored to romp over

VA Reyeals New
Enrollment Rules
G.I. students who have been
recalled to service or have re
enlisted, are not subject to en
rollment deadlines, says Gen.
Gray, head of the V.A.
Veterans who wish to enroll
must do so by July 25, 1951, if
they were discharged prior to
July 25, 1947. Those who were
discharged after July 25, 1947,
have four years from their dis
charge date in which to enroll.
Thus, if a man was released
September 6, 1948, he has until
September 6, 1952 to begin or re
sume his studies. His training
must be completed by July 25,
1956, unless he re-enlists or is
called to duty.

Football games last Saturday
were as unpredictable as Uncle
Joe Stalin.
Southern Methodist got past
favored Ohio State, Washington
tripped the Golden Gophers of
Minnesota, Notre Dame got by
North Carolina on tiptoes, Okla
homa A&M upset Texas Chris
tian, and the Tennessee Vols fell
to the Mississippi Rebs.
The flavor of Big Seven foot
ball followed along the same keel
as the national grid scene.
The pleasantest surprise to
Cornhusker fans was the local
tilt which found the Scarlet and
Cream holding slightly favored
Indiana to a 20-20 tie. The Hoos
iers were given the edge over
Nebraska by about one touch
down. Congratulations are extended
to Coach Bill Glassford, his staff,
and to a crew of tired but de
termined band of footballers for
their fine showing. We're behind
them all the way win, lose or
draw.
The conference sportlight
again shone brightest at Boulder
where Dallas Ward's Buffaloes
took the full measure of Ralph
Graham's Kansas State Wildcats
34-6. But they didn't do it just
by making their presence at the
game. The score was tied up at
the, half 6-6.

standout against Hoosiecs.
Sooners
boys an electric prod or hot shot
during the half time. Anyone not
knowing what this is will find
it defined as an instrument
which coaxes cattle along faster
by benefit of an electric shock.
Whatever he used, it certainly
was effective for the Buffs came
back a completely converted
team-this doesn't mean that
Billy Grahm was in the Colo
rado dressing room during half
time.
Cyclones Lead
The win gives Iowa State a
temporary lead in the conference
by virtue of their win over Colo
rado two weeks ago. Colorado is
in second place with a .500
record while Kansas State rests
in the third berth with one loss
on their slate. These are the only
conference games played thus
far in the young season.
Another game which turned
out differently than the crystal
ball expected was the Iowa State
Northwestern game. Northwest
eran was expected to trounce
the Cyclones by three or four
touchdowns. The Billy Weeks'
passing arm was the most potent
weapon Iowa State had to offer.
The final game tally was 23-13.
The Oklahoma-Boston College
grid tilt also had a pleasant ring
to Big Seven ears. The Sooners
pulled the blanket off a squad
which should be plenty rough
during the current season.
Kansas
Although not the jet-powered
team they were in 1949, Okla
homa still uncorked enough of
fensive power to completely
stymy the Bostonians 28-0.
The Kansas Jayhawks upheld
Big Seven prestige by jaunting
to Colorado and completely scud
dling Denver University 46-0.
They offered the Rocky Mountain
boys a well-rounded offense. The
Kansans were a lot sharper in
this game than in their last one
against Texas Christian. Could
be the showing was because of
the difference in opponents.
It always takes some bitter
pills to make a sick man well and
the Big Seven had a bitter pill
to swallow in spite of their other
good showings. The bitter pill
came in the form of a football
team from Clemson, South Caro
lina. The southern boys didn't
need any crepe suzettes to make
them run wild against Missouri.
They made the adding machine
tabulate a final 34-0 reading.
And this was an upset. The
Missouri Tigers were favored to
win by as much as two touch
downs. Missouri simply didn't
have any offensive or defensive
power.
Well, that completes last Sat
urday's grid package. We all like
to make our predictions of things
to come but after what happened
on the national grid scene all I
can say is, "Drew Pearson, take
it away."
IM Free Throw
Prelims Begin
The first round of the intra
mural free throw contest got un
der way on Monday at the Phys
ical Education building.
This preliminary part of the
tournament will last until Fri
day. Those wishing to participate in
the opening round should obtain
a score card and ball from the
eauinrient room m the P.
! building. Two men, each from a
different organization, will alter
nate shooting and scoring. Each
participant wil1 complete 50 free
throws, and will be placed in
flights of 16 men.
The first flight will be com
posed of the 16 men with the
highest score, and all other men
will be placed in similar flights
of 16 according to their percent
age. Separate flights will be arrang
ed for fraternity, interdenomina
tional, and independents. Win
ners of each flight will then be
placed in an elimination tourney
for the All-University Champion
ship. A team trophy will be given
to the organization winning the
championship, a medal will go
to the individual champion, and
the finalists and semi-finalists
will receive certificates.
The team championship is de
termined by points awarded in
elimination tournaments. Five
points are awarded for those who
advance to the second round, 10
points for advancing to the third
round, 15 points for advancing
to the semi-finals, 20 points for
gaining the finals, and the
champion receives 25.

Congratulations are in store for Bill Glassford, his
associates, and the 1950 edition of the Cornhuskers. Sat
urday's opener with Indiana's Hoosiers has proved to all
concerned that the Nebraska football team will do their
part in wrecking pre-season prognostications that termed
Nebraska to be ground under by supposedly more potent
machines.
It was real joy in the hearts of the Husker loyal Sat
urday to see their griddors come from behind twice and
battle favored Indiana to a' 20-20 standstill.
It shows that a lot of hard work has been put in by
the Nebraska aggregation in pre-season practices and this
is to announce to them that we all appreciate their effort.
A possible new Cornhusker star could be in the mak
ing after Saturday's opener.
Bobby Reynolds, playing his first game in a Nebraska
uniform, put on a dazzling display of ball carrying. Bobby
accounted for all twenty of Nebraska's points as he scored
three touchdowns and place-kicked two extra points. In
addition, he amassed a total of over 160 yards rushing
quite a day's work.
Reynold's twenty markers already boosts him above
the top scorer of last year's team. Fran Nagle, with three
touchdowns in nine games, led the 1949 Cornhusker scor
ers with 18.
Bobby's point total also puts him in the lead in the
Big-Seven scoring race, although it is not the official con
ference scoring race, since most of the tallying has been
against non-conference foes.

v u0thTer ,encouraging view of Saturday's contest is
that the Huskers still have room for plenty of improve
ment It showed that the game was a typical opener with
fumbles, poor tackling, and fair blocking. But the Corn
huskers still played good enough ball to halt the Big-Ten
team s string of conquests.
r , So ,for the rest of the season Good luck, Huskers.
We're all behind you.
Tennis Courts
Holding Well-Higginbotham
Six constantly used tennis
. . . . .... i
courts are a major part of the
University sports program, ac
cording to Ed Higginbotham,
tennis coach. j
A new type of tennis court !
has been in use here for one
complete school year and two I
summers. 1 he patented compo
sition is called "Grasstex" and
is composed of asphalt, cellu
lose, asbestos fiber, and green
dye. Beneath is a five inch thick
layer of rock. Two of the six
$3,500 courts have lately been
resurfaced with another layer of
the mixture.
When questioned about the
material, Higginbotham said that
this type of court requires a
minimum of attention in con
trast to the clay courts. They are
softer than concrete courts and
not so pliable as the asphalt va-

Cyclones Face
Iowa Teachers
There may be North Central
football foes who are making
the mistake of taking Iowa
Teachers lightly this year but ;
Iowa State coaches and players
are not making that mistake.
"You can forget any talk about
Teachers not having it this year
as far as our game is concerned,"
says Abe Stuber, Cyclone head
coach "Buck Starbeck always
does a fine job of having his
squad "up" lor the Iowa State
game We are expecting as tough
a game a? we'll get all year."
It certainly isn't any effort to
build up a foe when Stuber talks
that way about Iowa Teachers.
The long record of the series be
tween the two schools will bear
out that Stuber is mighty wise
in looking seriously upon the
perennial North Central cham
pions. When the series stalled back
in 1899 it took the Cyclones four
games to score and win a con
test. Meanwhile the Panthers had
won the 1900 contest 5-0 and ,
tied the other two, 0-0. In 1902
the score was 52-0 for Iowa '
State. In 1945 the Cyclones stop-
ped Teachers 45-13. Those are
the only times the Tutors could :
be called breathers.
In 1937 it was necessary for
Iowa State to score late to win
14-12 game In 1946 the Panthers
led 18-0 at the half and 18-13 S
with 50 seconds to go and in pos- ;
session of the ball. A fumble j
and a newly connected pass play !
brought a 20-18 victory.
Although the series stands at
nine wins for Iowa State, one i
for Teachers, and three score
less ties, Iowa State does not
look at the game as a soft spot
in the rugged 1950 schedule.
"Those Teachers would just .
about as soon beat us as win !
their conference," is the way Cy-
clone spokesman put it I,

Weather Proof,
riety. As for weather durability
they are "excellent," he says.
"In the lingo of a tennis fan,
the courts are termed 'fast,' and
need to be lined only once," he
adds.
Lights Installed
To complete the tennis layout,
flood lights have been installed
and the courts fenced. With the
lights, the courts are worth
eighteen more hours of playing
time, for all six may be used
an additional three hours a day.
All morning and afternoon the
lots are employed by physical
education classes. In the late aft
ernoon, on evenings and on Sat
urdays, the courts are open for
recreational playing.
Each fall and spring, tourna
ments are arranged. Last year
there were 148 registered in the
doubles tourney and 176 in the
spring singles matches. The
tournaments are open to all ex
cept varsity tennis players and
football men in the fall, and the
baseballers in the spring.
Tennis Shoes
The school furnishes racquets
for classes but students must
supply their own equipment for
recreational use. Only tennis
shoes are allowed on the courts.
Higgenbotham emphasizes that
this does not mean spikes or
basketball shoes, all of which
have been worn by players be
fore they were discovered by the
authorities.
Higginbotham points out that
the tennis courts were signifi
cant of the University's attempt
to give students an all-round
sports program.
