PAGE 3 ' Friday, December 8, 1950 THE DAILY NEBRASKA! Four Lettermen Bolster Coach Geier's Gym Team by John Sinclair . 8tf f Sporti Writer Rounding out head gymnastics coach J. G. "Jake" Geier's 1950 gym team will be four returning lettermen and a top notch jun ior college transfer. The lour returning musclemen are Al Dunavan, Art. Hillman, Paul Hughes and Bob Yarwood. Al Dunavan is a three year letterman and captain of this year's squad. Al has been out standing during his college ca reer at Nebraska and shows great versatility by working all six events. Another letter winner and con sistent high point man is Art Hillman, a senior whose special ties are the side horse and the high bar. Versatile junior Paul Hughes is competing in five events this year and should prove one of the most valuable men on the squad. Rapid Strides Bob Yarwood, another junior, has made rapid strides since tak ing up the sport last year and now ranks as one of Coach Geier's top performers on the side horse and parallel bars. The Cornhuskers, though weakened by the loss of four year letter winner and last year's captain, Leo Geier, are comforted Miami Gridders Andy's Dandies This Season Down Florida way, they're calling this unbeaten but once tied 1950 Miami team "Andy's Dandies" with a low bow in the direction of Andy' Gustaf son, coach of the swirling Hur ricanes. In three short seasons, Gus tafson has put together a team that is one of the Southland's best, one tapped for an Orange Bowl appearance. That's sudden success for a man who has de voted most of his coaching life time to aiding other head coaches achieve gridiron promi nence. Gustafson played his college football under both Glen War ner and Jock Sutherland at Pittsburgh. After a four-year head coaching term at V.P.I., he returned to Pitt as Sutherland's backfield assistant, and from there went to Dartmouth as Earl "Red" Blaik's No. 1 backfield aide. He followed Blaik to Army a 10-year tour where he was more recently identified with the Cadets' "dream backfields" Doc Blanchard, Glenn Davis, Arnold Tucker and Shorty Mc Williams. Andy is riding the crest this year, after a creditable six won, three lost record in 1949. His Miamians have tipped over eight opponents, being waylaid only by a 13-13 draw with Louisville in their all-winning splurge. Talent Talent sticks out all over the Hurricanes a squad that some how smacks of past Notre Dame teams with names like Czap linski, Chwalik, Bartolovich, Carapella, Schneidenbach, Arc angeletti, Bouyoucas on the ros ter, and here and there a Mar tin, a Dooley and a Smith dust to keep things honest. Then there is Gustafson, the shrewd Swede who, Miami sportswriters say, has keyed this 1950 Miami outfit to a superb pitch. Following Miami's 20-14 win over traditional rival Florida, sports editor Jimmy Burns of the Miami Herald described the UM's locker-room scene in this fashion: "Beaming his pleasure, Andy hopped around UM's dressing room like a Mexican jumping bean. The tired, but smiling players were filing in, and Andy kept asking 'Are they all here? Andy Leaps "Finally someone reported all were present, so Andy leaped upon a table and shouted for at tention. The players paused in the exchange of their own per sonal compliments and listened. "'You remember last Septem ber I told you Pitt was the one game we had to win,"' Gustaf son said, and then asked. "What wa the other one?" "The weary Hurricanes blend ed their voices into one to chorus the reply, 'Florida.' '"Thank you a lot," Andy re sponded, '"You did a great job. There will be no practice Sun day.' " Homecoming for K-State Cagers It will be homecoming for members of Kansas State's first officially coached basketball team Saturday night when Coach Jack Gardner's Wildcats meet Utah State in K-State's new 13,000-capaclty fiMdhouM. Five members of the 1909 team have accepted invitations to be the College's guest at the gala opener. One will come from as far away ,is Buffalo, New York. Members of the first team had a 6-3 record against other Kan sas colleges. Basketball was first played at Kansas State In 1903, but the team had no coach so official records credit the 190S-08 group s being the school's first court club. Games were played in a ballroom on the second floor of a downtown bank building and a barn's haymow. C. W. Mclick, former Nebraska and Northwestern player, coach ed the first club that one year' before turning tha reins over to the late M. F. Ahearn who was later to become director of ath letics. At least nine members of Gardner's 1939 club, his first team at Kansas State, also will te special guests at the game. by the arrival of sophomore Bruce Riley, sensational tumb ling artist and all-around gym nast.

This is two full seconds under the old mark. Lee Alexander of Sigma Phi Epsilon, Monday's record-breaker in the one-lap run, was also well under the old mark, winning his heat in 63.5 seconds. Bob Barchus, representing Sigma Chi, had the third best time of 64 seconds, also under Jones' old mark. Schnackel Runs Dale Schnackel, running for the Field House, sped to a new record in the Independent divi sion of the two-lap run with a 64.2 effort, which breaks Sch nackel's old mark of 65.1 seconds, set in 1940. Blake Cathro, also of Field House, was timed in 67.8 for second place in the prelims of this event. Presby House, defending Inter denominational champion, leads that division in two-lap quali fiers, Harold Sampson register ing a 69.3, which was the top mark reported in this class. Mil ler of the Ag Y.M.C.A. came in second in this division. The 60 yard dash also provided some thrills with Lee Alexander being clocked in 6.4 seconds, another new record for the Fra ternity division. This arases Alexander's old standard of 6.5 seconds, set in 1948. Bob Bar chus, Sigma Chi, turned in a nifty 6.5 clocking, good for second place. Hobe Jones, Alpha Tau Omega, was third with a time of 6.6 seconds. The time recorded for Alexander was ex ceptional, considering the fact he ran the distance in stocking feet on a slow track. Record to Einspahr Glen Einspahr, Frosh football player, turned in the surprise performance of the day by win ning the prelims of the Indepen dent 60 yard dash in 6.7 seconds, which is a new record for this event. The old mark of 6.8 was set by Rex Coffman of Ag Men's Club in 1949. However, Coffman served notice that he is ready to defend his sprint titles won last year by running a 6.8. Blake Cathro, Field House, and Cliff Dale, another Freshman foot baller, tied for third with a 6.9 clocking. Dick Stansbury, Presy, led all Interdenominational runners in the sixty with a 6.9 effort. Samp son and Weed, also of Presby, finished second with timings of 7.0 seconds.

They were Hobe Jones, ATO; Don Coupens, ATO; Don Bedker, Phi Gam; and Don Richardson, ATO. Stansbury Breaks Mark Stansbury, Presby, added to his efforts in the 60 yard dash and the one and two-lap runs with a fine 7.7 effort in the 60 yard lows. His time is a new In terdenominational record, eras ing the old mark of 7.8 seconds set by Glenn Bcerlinc last year. Bill Giles, also of Presby House, came in second with a 7.8 clock ing. Lindquist, representing Luth eran Student Association, finish ed third with a time of 8.0 seconds. Tolman also recorded the best time in the 60 yard highs, win ning his heat in 7.9 seconds. This was two-tenths of a second bet ter than that of Don Bedker, Phi Gam, who had a 8.1. Don Cou pens, ATO, was third with an 8.2. Lindquist, L.S.A., had the best time in the Interdenominational division, winning his flight of sticks in 8.4 seconds. Weed, Pres by, was second with a time of 8.9 seconds.

Ail Standing Records SBSSk isliSi IIP Miilaiiii Since this year marks the first time the 60 yard high hurdles have beein included on the sche dule of events for the Indoor meet, the best times recorded in the prelims of this event will stand as records, unless broken in the finals of the different di visions. After the first week's action in which preliminaries were held in six of the fourteen events scheduled for the 1950-51 meet, the Fraternity team race has de veloped into a four-team affair, with Sigma Chi leading the early list of qualifiers with 16.

Cyclones Send Two to Coast For the second time in its foot ball history, Iowa State will send a pair of footballers into action in what sports writers often call the only worthwhile bowl game of the year the twenty-sixth annual East-West football classid. Jim Doran, the Cyclone All American end, and Bill Weeks, twice all-Big Seven choice (ns is Doran), will report in San Francisco, Cailf., Dec. 17 to start training for the battle with the East team at Kczar Stadium, Dec. 30. All proceeds for the game go to the Shrine hospital for crippled children. Two top performers in the 1939 game were a pair of Cy clones, too. All-Amorican guard Ed Bock, and end Chuck Heile man. Marchie Schwartz of Stanford is the head coach this year. Jess Necly of Rice will be one as- slstant. Bud Wilkinson of Okla homa was to have been the third coach but must be replaced be cause of the Sooner Sugar Bowl date. Unconfirmed rumors have Missouri's Don Faurot replacing his Big Seven rival on the West staff. The selection of Doran marks the slJrnax of an amazing foot ball career. The 6 foot 2 inch 190-pound senior never played football in high school. He propped at Beaver (Iowa) in a school so small that it has dis appeared in late years. There he was a basketball (once scored 35 points In one game) and base ball star. The shadow of things to come was thrown across the intra mural basketball courts Wednes day night in the form of squeez ing wins and lop-sided routs. New champions appeared to be entering the field of honors while the old champs appeared doomed to fade. Defending All -University champion, Alpha Tau Omega, felt the descending axe in their opener. Phi Delta Theta was the conqueror here in a 39-31 affair. But to win, the Phi Delts had to overcome a seven-point firstf period deficit. The Taus led at the end of that initial quarter by a 14-7 score and appeared to be suc cessfully opening their campaign for two titles in a row. The second period gave indi cation of what was to come, however, as the Phi Delts out scored the ATO's 6-4. Halftime score read 18-13, ATO. The Phi Delts were on the beam now and by the end of the third quarter the game was all tied up, 24-24. But the vic tors were far from through. Fif teen more points swept through the hoops while the Taus could tally only seven and there was the ball game. Battey High Chick Battey led the way in scoring for the Phi Delts with ten points while Farmer and Roper each garnered eight. Bill Sloan of the Taus collected 15 markers. Sigma Nu, which finished sec ond in the All-University rat ings last year, also ran into a stumbling block. The Nu's were slapped early by Sigma Alpha Epsilon and lost 21-30. Bill Shainholtz led the scoring pa rade over the losing Nu's with a night's total of nine. The Sig Alphs tallied eight markers in the first quarter while alloting the slow moving Nu's only two points. Both teams garnered eight in the second quarter and halftime the Sig Alphs led 16-10. The third period saw the win- AWS is turning the curfew hours for Friday and Saturday nights to facilitate those going to the Mortar Board Bail.

Fran Nagle was top scoring: man for Sigma Nu with eight points. Leach -of the SAE's also collect ed eight. Sig Eps Romp An expected close game never materialized as Sigma Phi Epsi lon walloped Delta Tau Delta, 33-15. The Sig Eps, led by Kay Curtis, ran up. a 21-6 halftime margin and then coasted to the win. Curtis hit his first four shots from the floor and the Delts never recovered. In all, Curtis contributed a total of 12, points. The Delts star center, Elmer Vandel, was held to but four points. Johnson of the Delts led in scoring with five. The closest game of the eve ning came from Kappa. Sigma and Delta Upsilon. The DUs trailed the Kappa Sigs by nine points with only a minute and a half remaining in the game, but four quick baskets narrowed that gap to the game winning point. Start Fast The victors started off fast and led 15-5 at the end of the ini tial period. From there the DUs started their climb that heart breakingly fell short. Ed Berg topped the winning scorers with seven points while Bud Shaberg tallied six. Bill Alexander topped the scoring column for the DU's with a night's effort of eight. Dale Bueher was second high with five markers. Phi Gamma Delta overcame a slight first period deficit to rock Beta Sigma Psi to the tune of 44-29. The Beta Sigs owned a 10-7 lead going into the second quarter but saw that quickly fade. Gerald Robertson led the at tack for the Fijis with a point total of 14, the highest total dur ing the opening day's competi tion. With Robertson hitting, the Fijis grabbed a halftime lead of 17-14. Same Stdry The final half was the same story with the victors outscoring the Lutherans, 25-15. Bob Olm stead ran second to Robertson in the Fiji scoring, getting eight.
