jMonday, December 4, 1950 Mttf sfxers Meet Fecfsers Mere Northwest Missouri Teachers Invade the University Coliseum tonight to help the Cornhusker basketballers inaugurate their 1950-51 home cage season. The Teachers will hope to avenge a 39-58 lacing they took from the Cornhuskers a year ago in the Coliseum. The Huskers went, on from that victory last year to wind up the year with a total of 16 games won against seven defeats and also brought home a share of the Big Seven championship for the second year in a row. It is supposed to be a vastly different story this season, how ever, according to pre-season dopesters in general and Husker Coach Harry Good in particular. The Huskers, hard hit by gradu ation, are supposed to finish be hind Kansas and Kansas State at best and maybe even trailing Oklahoma and Missouri, too. Currently, the Huskers are fa vored to win but nine of their scheduled 23 contests this season. Numerical roster for the Husk ers for their first home game is: S Norman Wllnea, F 11 Paol Kipper.

The 1949-50 champ, Alpha Tau Omega, was hard hit by gradua tion last Spring, but is expected to be in the thick of battle again this year. Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Phi Delta Theta, all of whom fielded strong teams last year, are going to be considerably weakened by the loss of key men. Out Ag College way perennial contender Farm House will again boast a potent aggregation. Powerful Sigma Gamma Epsi lon has the same team returning that lost to the Taus in the All University finals last year and should be a hot contender. An other perennially tough outfit in the Independents, the Lillies, should field another challenger. Two Denoms Two potent Denominational aggregations are returning prac tically en masse. Defending champ, Newman Club and runner-up Lutheran Student Asso ciation are all set to go. The Catholics were fifth, in AU-Uni-versity last year. All-in-all the race for the All University honors appears to be a wide-open affair with many upsets expected before the reg ular season schedule of 459 games is completed. This year all games will start promptly at 5, 7, 8, and 9 p.ra, with a Jew games scheduled for Saturday during the month of February. This will be necessary in order to permit a double round-robin schedule. Games will be 40 minutes in length during the 1950-51 season, with one-minute rest between quarters. There will be a fivc mirjute rest between halves. Each team w ill be allowed one time cut per half. No Ke-sehe&B-lutr Two officials will be assigned to each game.

Shotton Fired as Dodger Manager; Says 'Raw Deal9 Burt Shotton said Friday that he was through with baseball because of the raw deal he re ceived from the Brooklyn Dodg er head office this week. Shotton said he might take on a few "odd jobs" now and then, but no more big-time stuff in the big leagues. Burt was fired as Brooklyn manager this week and replaced by Chuck Dressen, a former Dodger coach who spent the last two seasons managing the Oak land, Cal., team in the Pacific Coast League. Shotton said he didn't like being fired or the way he was fired. He stated that he didn't even know he was replaced until a few hours before they an nounced the appointment of Dressen. Walter O'Malley, the new president of the Dodgers and his assumption of command led to the Shotton bounce. O'Malley replaced Branch Rickey. Rickey Men Oat "I wasn't fired because of my record," Shotton said. "It's just that O'Malley wanted a new or ganization without any Branch Rickey men around." Some baseball men think that Shotton may join Rickey at Pittsburgh although Shotton said that he had no plans like that. When O'Malley announced that Dressen was the new Dodger manager, he said he would offer Shotton a job within the Brook lyn organization when he met him at the St. Petersburg, Fla., baseball convention next week. Shotton left no doubt what sort of answer he will give1 if he attends that convention. The Pittsburgh managerial po sition is still open. Marty Mar ion took over the reins of the St, Louis Cardinals this week. Thetas Enter WAA Playoffs In Volleyball A championship game Monday will officially close this year's WAA intramural volleyball tour nament, while two other sports are already in full swing.

This enabled more teams to par ticipate in more than one game. The loser of a game automati cally moved into the consolation bracket.

The entire University was saddened Thursday by the death of former Cornhusker Dick Hutton. Those around the U in 1946, 47, and 48 will remember cheering Dick on ward in Husker football and track. Dick was one of the most feared -runners in the con ference during his football campaigns. As a matter of fact, that was all Nebraska had in terms of a backfield Dick Huttdn. In track, Dick excelled in the sprints and was a main cog in the Husker attempts for conference glory. But, even outside of athletics, Dick was a star. Every one who knew him personally liked the guy. His personality blossomed out over everyone. In studies, too, Dick was on top. In all the conference graduating classes in the spring of 1949, Dick received the Big- Seven award for maintaining the highest average grade in the classroom of any athlete. Dick will be missed by all who knew him personally and he will live in the memories of all Cornhuskers. Indoor Track and Field Meet Begins Tuesday; Neiv Events The intramural indoor track and field meet gets under way this Tuesday with the prelimi naries of the 50-yard dash and one-lap run being staged. The prelims will continue through this week and all of next and then the finals of all events will be held in the first full week following Christmas vacation. A large turnout of entries is expected for this first running of the enlarged indoor meet. In previous years there has been both an indoor and an outdoor meet, but due to the unavailabil ity of the outdoor track in the spring, the two have been com bined in the big indoor meet. All events previously held in the indoor will be carried along with the addition of the follow ing events: 60-yard high hurdles, 440-yard run, 880-yard run, and broad jump. There will be an additional relay, also, the mile relay. The winning times and distances in these events this fall will go into the books as records. Three Champs Three defending champions will be on hand to defend their laurels. The Student Union, de fending Independent champs, will try to repeat. Phi Delta Theta, last year's fraternity champion, is expected to throw another strong team into the battle. Presby House, defending De nominational crown wearer, is also expected to have a lot to say as to who will carry away the title this year. Student Union won their first title last year by 43 'yj points while Presby was out in front by an amazing 86 points. The Phi Delts had the roughest time carrying off the crown, edging Sigma Chi by a mere one and one-third points. Expected strength this year is doped to come from Alpha Tau i f. VC -e, ATMvt .sbOwl ",,IIB"" "V""' mf um Mtaaeay" K Zlnstl-,'l'l ' J 1 rtW' 1 if ' V tSii&drl The Desk Omega, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Sigma Chi in the fraternity group, besides the Phi Delts. Methodists Strong The Methodist Student House, along with the Newman Club, is expected to give Presby a run for its money. The Ag Men's Club is current ly doped as the leading con tender in the Independent divi sion. No advance entries are neces sary in order to be able to com pete this year. All that is re quired of a man is that he ap pear some time during the run ning of the prelims to get his time or distance recorded. There will be nearly three hours for the running of the pre lims on -most of the events this year. That means a man has al most three hours in which to make it over to the indoor track to get his licks in. This will be especially helpful for those who have football and ROTC classes during the afternoons. Against Time The preliminaries of all runs will be against time, each man running will be clocked, so it doesn't matter who else is in his preliminary heat.

The Sig Alphs won two of the three games by scores of 15-9, 11-15, 15-13. It was a torrid and terrific display of volleyball staged by these two aggregations with everything under the sun happening. In the first game, Cosmo took an early 2-0 lead, but ten min utes later the SAE's were in front 3-2. This game was the "quickie" of the three. It was over after a half hour. The lead changed ownership seven different times before the Sig Alphs forged ahead 10-9 and from there it was only a mat ter of minutes before the Cos mopolitans suffered their first defeat of the year. Four Times The second game changed lead four times and was tied five before the Cosmos rallied to a 15-11 win. The Sig Alphs led 9-2 at one time during this game for the biggest lead of the eve ning. Game number three was a Price Named Texas Coach Ed Price was named head coach of Texas University foot ball team this weekend. Price had been line coach at Texas. Given the hot-spot coaching post for two years starting Jan. 1 at 12 thousand dollars a year, Price recognized he had a tough job cut out for him. He left for Nashville before reporters could reach him for comment. He will scout Tennes see, Texas' Cotton Bowl oppo nent, in its battle with Vander bilt. Coach Price was promoted to the top position, yielded by Blair Cherry, on the unanimous rec ommendation of the University Athletic Council and by unani mous vote of the regents at tending the meeting. Athletic Director Dana X. Bible, whose advice to the Ath letic Council had much to do with Price's selection, commend-' ed the 42-year-old Texas gradu ate with these words: "Texas is facing tough sched ules in the future, but, if every one interested in the university will work as hard as Ed, there certainly will be a lot of scor ing, a lot of touchdowns, a lot of victories, and a lot of credit reflected on Texas."

Nine times the lead changed hands and eight times the score was tied. The game, played continually, took 50 minutes to play. At one time during the contest, the score remained unchanged for 18 minutes, just to show the torrid battle taking place. The Sig Alphs rallied to win the final games. They trailed 11 10, 12-11, and 13-12 before they forged ahead 14-13. Hera th score remained for five minutes more and then the winning SAE point. Leading the way for the vic torious Sig Alphs- was Henry Cech. Both his spiking, and all around team play kept the EAE aggregation from falling apart at several times during the tussle. Charlie Smith also contributed some timely spiking to the SAE cause. But, not to take anything away from the rest of the men, they all played a terrific team game. Sekercl Tops Fikri Sekerci was the boy for Cosmo club. Whenever he was on the front line, the Cosmo game seemed to run in their fa vor. Both his team play and in particular his spiking were ter rific. Faz Haghirl smashed ball after ball down the throats ef the SAE with crushing spikes. All the Cosmo men could smash and set-up their nearest mate. Both teams were phenomenal in their returns and recoveries. Smashes that could not possibly be returned were scooped up off the floor or run down in adja cent courts. But in the long run, it was the better team that came out on top. Both teams are cham pions, but the men from Sigma Alpha Epsilon are champs of the champions. The lineups for the match!
