(i (At Thursday, December 14, 1950 The Nebraska Cornhuskers cage outfit broke their three game West Coast losing streak Tuesday night as they soundly thrashed Santa Clara, 53-38 in the San Francisco Cow Palace. Coach Harry Good used his entire traveling squad of 12 men in the rout that saw the Huskers never seriously threatened. The win over the western out fit enabled the Hiskers to give the Big Seven a helping hand in the beatings they are dishing out to non-conference foes. While Nebraska was winning, Kansas and Kansas State were also cop ping their contests to give the conference a clean sweep for Tuesday. Paul Kipper, starting at one of the forward "slots for Coach Good's Huskers, dunked a field goal the first of three for him after two minutes had elapsed in the game to put Nebraska ahead lor good. Fast Break Good The Cornhusker flopr men Used the fast break to perfection as they ran the Broncos ragged. Jim Buchanan, on the receiving end of most Bob Pierce's throws down-court, led the Huskers in scoring. Buchanan tallied a total of 19 during the evening. Pierce continualy cleared the backboards and threw down court to Buchanan who scored on setups. The Broncos fought throughout to overcome a marked disadvan tage in height, but Pierce had control all during the game. The Huskers gave a much im proved showing that they dis played in their losses to Washing ton and California and the win gives them a record of 2-4 to date. Center Pierce was second in the Husker scoring with nine points and Kipper was third with eight. Only 27 fouls were called in the contest, 12 on the Huskers, which is a far-cry from some of the whistle-tooters antics in the games these days. Rough Game In New York City the Kansas Jayhawks were having a much rougher time of it. Giant Clyde Lovelette tipped in a goal with 15 seconds left to give the Jays a wild 52-51 victory over St. John's of Brooklyn. The winning goal came after St. John's had gone ahead for the first time in the second half at 51-50 with 39 seconds remaining. Frank Giancontieri, one of the many replacements in the St. John's two-platoon system, scored the goal. After Giancontieri scored, Kan sas waived a free throw and calmy went about after the two sas held an apparently comfort points and victory. Ur to the hectic minutes, Kan- As held an apparently comfort able lead but the St. John's all court press drove the Jays into costly -mistakes. St. John's used a zone defense to stop Lovelette who has been averaging 25-points plus per game. In all, the 6-9 ace scored 13 points. Waiving Free Throws Kansas Coach Phog Allen con tinued his innovation of waiving free throws to keep possession of the ball. This strategy seemed to pay off as the Jays controlled the play most of the time. Tey l-M Wrestling Starts Action; Phi Gams, Betas, Sigs Lead Leading thus far in the first round of Intermur8l wrestling, and looming as the team to beat, are last years wrestling champs, Phi Gamma Delta.

Close behind the Fijimen, are the high flying Betas, with three first round qualifiers.

Kansas State, meanwhile, won their fourth straight cage game as they shellacked the Wichita university Shockers, 73-42. The Wildcats had control of the game all the way and were never threatened except at the beginn ing of a slow first period. Wichita got the early lead in a ruggedly played game with about four minutes gone as John Frie sen slipped in a long fielder. Ed Head tied it up for Kansas State on a pair of fielders and then Earnie Barrett hit from side court to put the Wildcats in front to stay.

Defending Interdenominational champion, Newman Club, got off to a flying rtart in the defense of its title as the Catholics crushed the Baptist Student House by a 43-13 score. It was strictly "no contest" all the way as the Newman men rolled to a 12-0 first quarter lead and at halftime still holding the Bap tists scoreless, the score being 14-0. The Baptists broke into the scoring in the second half, but by now the Newman Club was really rolling and there was no hope left for the losers. Kroenke Tops For the victors, it was the presence of height. Bob Kroenke led the scoring for Newman Club with 14 points. Bill Griffin and Jack Walentine each added nine to the winning total. Ray John son was tops for the Baptist House, getting eight points. The Lutheran Student Associa tion, pre-season challengers to the Catholic hold on the crown, found a rough opponent in the University YMCA and had to fight all th: way to win, 41-30. The Lutherans led practically all the way, but the margin was never insurmountable at any point in the game. Stauffcr High Man Lee Stauffer was the top scorer in the contest with a night's effort of 15 markers. Team-mate Glen Johnson was right behind Stauffer, getting 13 counters. For the Y it was Simp son and Lubeck, both notching nine. In the other Denom clash, a strong InterVarsity outfit crushed the Methodist Student House by a 33-12 tally. The I-V men- were in complete command all the way and prac tically put the game on ice in the first half when they were leading 19-5. The Methodists found the go ing just as rough in the second half as InterVarsity coasted to the win. Lucht Leads Lucht poured 18 points through the hoops for InterVarsity to lead the scoring. Lucht's total is currently the individual high in any game in this infant sea son. The previous high was 17 by Vera McKenzie of Delta Chi, Dec. 7, when Delta Chi blasted Acacia, 50-18. Rundle topped the Methodist scoring with five points. In the only Independent clash of the day, Phi Delta Phi flat tended the Dental College Fresh men, 44-24. This game, too, was close only at the beginning as the PDP's were hot right at the beginning whistle. The Phi Delta Phi's poured 29 points through the nets in the first half, more than the losers got the whole game. Ten points was taken down by the game's top score who was McArthur of the winners. Kel ley led the Dental Frosh with six. Sig- Ep Delt Thriller In fraternity "B" competition, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Tau Delta put on a thriiler-diller all the way through. The Sig Ep Bees came from behind to win this one, 22-21. The Delts took control of the game at the start and in a slow moving affair, held a 14-10 half time margin. The Sig Eps fought back in the second half in the form of a strong defense which allowed the Delts but seven points. With this defense, 12 points are what the Sig Eps needed to win and 12 points are exactly what they got. Ray Mladovich was the game's top scorer with 12 points for the losing Delts. Russel led the Sig Eps with seven counters. Beta Bees Win In another game that stayed close throughout the play, Beta Theta Pi "B" defeated Phi Kap pa Psi "B" by a 26-20 score. It was team play all the way for these two outfits as fourteen men broke into the scoring column. High point men for both teams netted six. Dave Noble for the Phi Psi's and Reynolds for the Betas grabbed this honor.

ImV Post Wins In the most one-sided affair of the day, the Bees of Farm House and Brown Palace battled with the Farm House cagers coming out on top to the tune of 31-9. It was the Aggies all the way as the Palacers never got into the game. Another Reynolds was at the helm of the winner with 14 points. Bob Swanson topped the Palace scoring, get ting a night's total of six. Fijis Victorious Phi Gamma Delta "B" scored as much in the first half as Beta Sigma Psi "B" did the whole game as the Fiji Bees won 23-13. The 13 points in the initial half assured the Phi Gams of no worse than a tie and the half time score stood at 13-7. ' The Fii,is continued to keep the upper hand during the re mainder of the fray, outscoring the Beta Sigs 10-6 in the final half. Paul Grimm was the top scorer of the game with six points, all coming on free throws. Bert Holthus garnered five for the Beta Sigs.

Chandler refused to resign his position before his contract expires, that happens in May of 1952. Chandler announced that he would serve to the"last sec ond."' The 16 major league club own ers voted unanimously to "select and elect" a new baseball czar to replace Chandler as soon as prac ticable There is considerable doubt whether he will finish his term. Both leagues announced no at tempt, was made to buy up the contrr-ct, however. . Committees Names The owners who took this dras tic action late Tuesday said com mittees will be named soon to consider candidates for the job. No names were mentioned offi cially, but leading possibilities were Ford Frick, National league president; George Trautman, head of the minors and Warren Giles, president of the Cincinnati Reds. The action followed by 20 hours the failure of the club owners to vote Chandler a new contract. Three ballots were taken and Chandler failed to win the neces sary 12 votes on any of them. When Chandler heard what the club owners had done, he re signed, then changed his mind. Big league baseball sources said Chandler's ouster came because of his demand on a new contract. However, there has been a cam paign brewing against him for some time. Will Not Leave Chandler vowed in a statement that he would rot step down. He insisted he would serve out his term until the "last second." It is feared that if Chandler holds fast to his threat, he may cause trouble for all. The com missioner has sole authority to remove anyone from the game of baseball and if Chandler saw no other way. he could remove those who are evidently against him and win in another ballot. This could ruin the entire na tional past-time, but it is legal under present baseball rules. Chandler, former governor and TJ. S. senator from Kentucky, emerged from the closed session sometime before the owners an nouncement. His only statement then was: "I have nothing to say." Makes Plea He appeared before the own ers himself to make a plea fof his job. Chandler succeeded the late Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis in 1945. i J SI Iii ETClliUS Sigma Chi, Field House, and Presby House continued to pad their lead in the number of quali fiers in the intramural indoor track and field meet Tuesday as the preliminaries of the high jump and the 800-yard run were run off. The Sigs qualified four men in the two events, Presby qualified two and the Field House, two. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Tau Omega each qualified two in the fraternity division. . Only two divisions qualified men in the high jump, no one from the Denominational class entering. Only Tom Carodine, jumping for the Field House, qualified in the Independent class. Carodine leaped 5-9 during the afternoon which was the top mark posted all day. Irving Thode of Phi Delta Theta and Glenn Beerline of Sigma Alpha Epsilon led the way in the fraternity division, also leaping to a height of 5-9. Five Over 5-7 Five men cleared 5-7 to qualify. They were Don Bedker of Phi Gamma Delta, Neal Prince and Downey of Sigma Chi, Moreland of Kappa Sigma ( and Paul Holm of Alpha Tau Omega. In the 880 run it was ATO Hobe Jones leading the pack. Jones posted the top time of the day as he lead the frat qualifiers Hobe ran the distance in the time of 2:02.9. Bob Barchus of Sigma Chi is the number two qualifier in the half mile with a time of 2:08.1 and Jack Scoville of SAE is third with 2:08.5. Behind the first three came TV Threatens , Day Ball Games The Ohio Wesleyan Transcript reports that "more and more small colleges in this area may be forced to the night sport, for even the most loyal backers of small college football, the stu dents, prefer the video 'game of the day' to cheering for their alma maters." Supporting their contention, the paper pointed out that thou sands crowded around TV sets to watch Ohio State play Michi gan in 1949, while only 74 Toot ers turned out to see Ohio Wes leyan and Otterbein play on the same day. mql For Christmas . . . give her jewelry . . . beau tiful rhinestone jewelry by David.

Lutherans, Three and Four Two men representing the Lutheran Student association hold down the number three and four spots. They are Dan Lind quist and Haynes. Dale Schnackle was top men in the Independent class as he won for the Field House. All times posted by the winners in the half mile are standing as records since this is the first year this event has been staged. If the two events were to be scored as final along with the other prelims already completed, Sigma Chi would have stretched their lead in the fraternity divi sion. The Sig Chi's point total would now stand at 54 2330. Alpha Tau Omega would climb into second place, by-passing Sigma Phi Epsilon. The Taus would have a total of 49 710 as compared to 46 130 for the Sig Eps. Fijis Pressed Phi Gamma Delta would con tinue in fourth place with 24 710 counters, but would now be pressed by Sigma Alpha Epsilon who would sport a count of 21 130. Defending champion, Phi Delta Theta would finally breay into the scoring colmn with six points. That would be good enough for seventh place in the current running. Kappa Sigma would also break into the scoring with 115 points. In the Independent class. Field House would now have 84 points as compared to 41 for the inde pendent competitors. Presby House would increase their point total to 101 points and the Lutherans would continue in second place, upping their total to 37 points. Thursday will see the comple tion of all events in the prelim inaries and semi-finals and leave only the finals of these events. Thursday's agenda calls for the prelims of the Broad Jump and the the semis of the 50-yard dash.

MAGEPS First Floor PAGE 3 Hockey May Start Soon Intramural Hockey may be well on its way becoming an I-M activity if Wednesday night's meeting is any indication. The meeting, established to see how many men and organizations are interested in the sport, was termed a success by all those attending. In all, 11 organizations nd several independent men voiced their desire to participate in In tramural hockey. Discussed during the meeting was the possibility of limiting the equipment for each player on the ice with the exception of the goalie who could wear as much equipment as he saw fit. It was thought that this way the cost of equipping the players would be vastly reduced and that if all the players were equipped the same, there would be less rough play on the part of individuals. Russell Sporting Goods com pany has stated that they will allow up to a 30 per cent discount on all equipment purchased there if the purchaser intends to par ticipate in intramural hockey. It was also stated that the city of Lincoln has stated that any city ice would be made available at any time for the hockey games. During the meeting it was moved and seconded that a hockey board be set up to fur ther explore the possibilities. Each organization, whether fra ternity or non-fraternity, that intends to participate in competi tion will have two members rep resenting them on the board. Chairman of the board was elected by those in attendance at the Wednesday night meeting. Tom Beal of Omaha and repre senting Delta Tau Delta fratern ity was elected the chairman. Beal has had contact with or ganized and amateur hockey in Omaha and was decided to be the logical choice. The board will report to C. E. Miller, director of Intramural Sports, immediately upon arriv ing on all conclusions. With a definite list of teams and men that will participate There will be a meeting: for all interested in playing in tramural ice-hockey this Sun day at 7 p.m. in the Union. Each organization is asked to send two representatives and all men who wish to compete independently are urged to attend.
