NU Mat Team Opens Against
Oklahoma A.& M. Saturday
The University of Nebraska's
wrestling team will open its 1951
season against a powerful Okla
homa A. & M. squad Saturday
evening, Jan. 13.
The match is scheduled for
7:30 p.m., in the University Coli
seum.
This year the Husker mat
squad is under the capable di
rection of Al Partin. who as
eumed the Varsity wrestling
cooch early last fall. Coach Par
tin is in his first year as head
coach, but his experience in col
lege wrestling is of the best.
Partin won both the National
A.A.U. and the Collegiate Cham
pionships while wrestling for
Cornell, a school known for some
great wrestling teams.
Tryout Are Completed "
Tryouts have been held among
the members of the squad the
past two weeks to determine the
line up for the Cowboy match.
Partin admits that Oklahoma A.
& M. is not quite the powerhouse
of old, but still ranks them as
one of the top five college teams
in the country.
Six lettermen and two prom
ising sophomores will lead the
Huskers. Two lettermen,' Louie
Caniglia and Al Johnson, were
defeated in pre-meet tryouts and
will not compete against Okla
homa A. & M.
- Competition within the differ
ent weight classes is the most
spirited ever, and Coach Partin
feels that if a key performer can
not make the required weight,
there will be another man al
most as good to replace him.
123 Lb. Class Loaded
The 123 lb. class is loaded this
year with four hopefuls fighting
it out for a team berth. They are
Lou Caniglia, Jim Ferris, Don
Bean, and Ken Brown. Brown
defeated Ferris yesterday for the
right to represent this weight di
vision against the Cowboys.
Caniglia was 1949 Big even
121 lb. champion, and is a two
year letterman. Ferris and Bean
are two outstanding sophomores
who are almost sure to get their
chance later on in the season.
Kenny Brown is also a letterman
in the 121 lb. class and is a sen
ior in school.
Harold Gilliland dominates the
130 lb. class, and was Big Seven
champion last year in the 128 lb.
class. Gilliland is also a two-year
letterman.
, Russell Gains Nod
Bob Russell gains the nod over
Perry Leitel for the Saturday en
counter and will represent the
Huskers in the 138 lb. class. Rus
sell, a senior, has lettered two
years in the 136 lb. division
while Leitel is having his first
taste of varsity competition.
The 147 lb. class is led by Ken
Fischer, a brilliant sophomore
prospect who should be a Big
Seven title threat by the time
the conference meet rolls around
in March.
Ed Lane will represent the
Cornhuskers in the 157 lb. class.
Ed is a junior letterman and is
expected to be pretty tough to
beat
Hockey Play
Begins; Taus,
Theta Chi Win
Tuesday marked the opening
f a new event on the Intramural
. program this year, ice hockey,
and the enthusiasm shown in the
first day's competition indicates
that the students want this to be
come a permanent part of the
1-M program.
Sixteen teams have been
formed into four leagues of 4
teams each. Each team will play
but three games in their respee
tive leagues because of the short
season, but immediately after the
league play a single elimination
tournament will decide the All
University champion.
Helping to inaugurate the
opening were four teams. Alpha
Tau Omega faced Delta Sigma
Phi and Theta Chi played Beta
Sigma Psi.
Theta Chi managed a narrow
2-1 victory over the Beta Sigs in
a hard-fought defensive game.
Futcher was the scoring ace
and play-maker for the winners,
scoring one goal unassisted in the
2nd period and getting an assist
on Clausen's tally which also
came in the second period.
The Beta Sigs held a 1-0 lead
at the end of the first period on
a goal, Huebner from Qstwald.
Although play was rough, only
two penalties were called. Lytle
was sent to the penalty box two
minutes for playing with a brok
en stick. Flicker, of the Beta
Sigs, was penalized two minutes
for handling the puck. The refe
rees did a fine job directing the
game, heolding argumnts and
rough play to a minimum.
The. Alpha Tau Omega-Delta
Sigma Phi clash ended as a deci
sive victory for the Taus, 11-1.
The only Delta Sig score came
in the second period on a shot by
Carter.
The ATO's, showing plenty of
speed and teamwork, worked
their way to a 4-0 lead in the
first period and coasted from
there on in.
Haman provided the spark for
the Tau attack, collecting four
goals during the contest. Dunn
and Cady added two apiece for
the winners. Perry and Saggau
also banged in goals for the vic
torious Taus.
Stan Musial, St. Louis Cardinal
slugger, said Sunday he is ready
to Join other mauor league stars
in an overseas jaunt to entertain
American occupation troops in
Germany. Others making the
two-week trip starting February
1 include Chicago Cub Manager
Umpire Larry Goetz and Phil

HERB REESE . . . After his third consecutive Big Seven crown.
Dave Mackie has looked the
best in the 167 lb. class and will
represent the Huskers in that
division for the Saturday night
opener.
Letterman Al Johnson will
hold down the 177 lb. berth for
the first meet. Al, however, can
expect plenty of competition
from Harley Richardson before
the season is far over.
Reese After Third Crown
Herb Reese will renrpspnt Ne
braska in the heavyweight class.
Reese, moving up from the 175
lb. class has been Riff Seven
champ in that weight division
me past two years. He will be
(tunning for his third ponsern-
tive conference title this year.
rue squad will be bolstered
second semester by the presence
Of Rich Reese, who hernmes
eligible for varsity competition
at that time. Rich is also a heavy
weight. Coach Partin stresses aeeres-
iveness on the part of his squad
members, and says that this
year's team "will be out to pin
their men." Partin feels that the
current Husker squad could be
potentially great if they can
rouna into condition the next
few weeks and then pet a little
experience behind them before
tne urst conference match which
is scheduled for Feb. 2 with Colo
rad U., at Boulder.
The schedule this vear inlnHnc
two extended road trips, one in
the East and one in the West.

KU Students Fail
To Locate States
Geography, labeled by most
educators as vital to good citi
zenship, is nevertheless virtually
ignored in American colleges and
universities, according to a recent
survey. .
Dr. Walter M. Kollmorgen,
chairman of the department of
geography at the University of
Kansas contributed some facts to
the survey.
Each semester Dr. Kollmorgen's
department gives an examination
in the beginning course. The j
results of the exams show that i
the average student can locate
32 out of the 48 states, two South 1
American countries and does well
to locate four European countries.

Bo Interested
In K-State Job
A. N. "Bo" McMillin Monday
met with the Kansas State Col
lege Athletic Council.
But he told newsmen there
was nothing definite he could say
about whether he might become
director of athletics at the col
lege. Mr. McMillin said he "would
be interested in the job" if Kan
sas State wants him. But it
probably would take about ten
days for him to make up his
mind, he added.
"This is something you can't
rush into with close investiga
tion," he commented.
Mr. McMillin said he would
like to keep on coaching, and
the ability to do so might be a
determining factor. While he was
talking to newsmen, Mr. McMil
lin received a telephone call
from George Marshall, owner of
the Washington Redskins, profes
sional football club.
When the call was completed,
Mr. McMillin was asked if
Marshall had offered him a
coaching job.
"You'll have to talk to him
about that," he replied.
Mr. McMillin recently resigned
as coach of the Detroit Lions pro
club. Formerly he had coached
at Indiana University after coach
ing at Kansas State from 1929
1933. The former pro coach con
ferred with the athletic council
more than three hours. He plans
to stay here until leaving for the
National Collegiate Athletitc As
sociation meeting in Dallas Wed
nesday. While Mr. McMillin said he i
would like to keep on coaching
and had several opportunities for
coaching jobs, he added he had
been thinking about stepping out
of the role while he still is active
and alert.
He will be 53 January 12.

Vandy Alumni
Seek Franklin
Marvin "Preacher" Franklin,
jr., assistant football coach at
the University of Nebraska, has
been in Nashville, Tennessee,
the past two days conferring
with a group of Vanderbilt
alumni. i
The Nashville Tennessean said
the former Vanderbilt football
star went there for talks on
whether he will succeed Hill
Turner as secretary of the Van
derbilt Alumni association.
Turner has said he plans to
retire. ...
Franklin, a native of Birming
ham, Ala., was captain of the
.nknnVc fnnthall in 1938. He
was a member of the Yale
coaching staff for several years.
Coach Franklin has been one
of the main reasons for the im
proved showing of the sophomore-dominated
Husker line the
past season and his loss would
be deeply felt by Head Football
Coach Bill Glassford as well as
the entire student body.

Track
Eps, Preshy, Field House Lead
By GREGG RUSSELL
Staff Sports Writer. '
At the end of four events, the
Sig Eps have jumped to an early
lead in the race for Fraternity
Division indoor track laurels. Led
by Lee Alexander and Wayne
Whltacre the Sig Eps with 41Vi
points lead Sigma Chi by a full
11 points. Alpha Tau Omega,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Phi
Gamma Delta trail in that order
with 7, 6, and 3 points respec
tively. The going promises to be rough
for the leaders as Sigma Chi is
grouping its forces for an all
out counter-attack.
The Sigs appear certain to pick
up valuable points in the hurdles,
high jump and pole vault while
the leaders have but one entry
in these events.
Alexander Stars Again.
In the 50-yard dash finals,
Alexander, running in stockinged
feet led the rest of the field to
the tape in the good time of 5.6
seconds. This was only an indica
tion of what was to come, how
ever, as he finished Monday
night's action by copping the one
lap run in 28 seconds flat,
Tolman and Barchus, both of
Sigma Chi, finished in a dead
heat for second place in the 50,
and Tolman shared second place
honors in the one-lap run with
Wayne Whitacre of the Sig Eps.
Jack James, running for the
Phi Gams, finished fourth in the
short sprint. Whitacre was fifth
and Jack Scoville, Sig Alph,
sixth.
In the one-lap run, Barchus,
Scoville and Hobe Jones, ATO,
finished fourth, fifth, and sixth,
respectively.
The best race of the meet,
however, was saved until last
night and the running of the two
lap run. This race was run in
two heats to eliminate the un
necessary crowding that would
have occurred if six runners
had clashed in the same heat.
Brilliant Stretch Drive
Alexander took the lead at
the gun and fought off a brillant
stretch drive by Jones to win
in 62.3 seconds, a new record, the
old one a 62.7 effort by Jones in
the preliminaries. Actually, both
runners set the record, as the
time was the same for each.
Credit for the record, however,
goes to Alexander who won by
not more than 10 inches.
Field House appears to have
everything its own way in the
Independent Division. They have
not been challenged in 4 events
and have piled up 48 points with
a first and second in every event
thus far.
Blake Cathro has copped three
firsts and a second to lead the
scoring. He is followed closely
by teammate Dale Schnakel who
has a first in the two-lap run
and seconds in the 50 and the
one-lap. Cliff Dale rounds out
the scoring with a second in the
60.

Presby House Leads
Presbyterian House dominates
the Interdenominational race,
leading at the end of four events
by an even 27 points. They have
piled 39 points as compared to
12 for Ag YMCA, 10 for the
L.S.A. and 4 for Intervarsity.
Harold Sampson has personally
accounted for 16 points for the
Presbyterians with a first in the
two-lap, second in the one-lap
and third in the 60. He is closely
followed by Dick Stansbury of
Presby House who has 14 points
on first in the 50 and 60.
Cal German is Ag YMCA's one
man team, having scored all of
its points so far with a first in
the one-lap and second in the
50. He is not the only man team,
however, as L.S.A. owes all of
its points to the efforts of Don
Lindquist.
