Are you one of those persons
rho likes nut brown sun tans,
pretty girls In bathing suits and
food summer jobs?
If so, then enroll in the Uni
ersity swimming and water
safety Instructors course which
begins next Monday.
; Each spring Swimming Coach
Hollie Lepley receives requests
for life savers and swimming in
structors from all over the state.
He fills these positions with per
sons who have completed the life
saving and swimming and water
salety courses.
The first two weeks which
consisted of a senior life saving
tourse will end this Saturday.
George Hill, varsity distance
tswimmer, has been instructing
the life saving class.
; Emphasis has been placed on
the various methods of rescue,
breaking holds in the water, car
ties and artificial respiration.
Men who have been outstand
ing , in the class are William
Jones, Thomas Kidd, Dean Jami
son, Patrick Healey, Paul Hughes,
Ehilip Eyen, Herbert Helzer,
onald Stake, Eugene Cotter and
Bernard Sprague.
Course Successful
Hill believes the course has
been completely successful and
much has been accomplished in
Jhe basic fundamentals of life,
aving.
Lepley will instruct the swim
ming and water safety instruc
tors course. It will last a mini
mum of two weeks, and the time
,3wiH be extended if necessary in
rder to get a thorough back
ground in the course.
Lepley also announced that
Water
ondav
anyone wishing to learn how to
swim should enroll in the class.
The only requirement for the
swimming and water safety pro-
gram is a senior life saving cer
tificate, i
It will cover methods in teach
ing swimming and general water
safety instruction. r '
Persons interested in renewing
rheir swimming and water safety
instructors card are urged to
enroll. ,
The valuableness of the course
cannot be over-emphasized. It
has been estimated that only 7
per cent of the United State's
population are capable swimmers.
And drownings are one of the
main factors in deaths through
accidents. This results from the
simple reason that a great many
Americans have not learned how
to swim and to save lives.
Service Men
Men going into the service will
also find the course extremely
beneficial. One of the biggest
complaints of the army is that
such a minority of its men know
how to swim.
The -service training program
includes some swimming instruc
tion, but it does not have the
time to devote to real needs.
There will also be a chance
for properly qualified persons to
get positions in the army as
swimming and water safety in
structors. So this may be your
chance to escape that dreaded
infantry.
At the end of the course a card
will be issued to each person
who successfully completes it in
dicating that he is qualified to
teach swimming ' and water
safety. .

of an alumnus was realized and
a huge track and field meet was
- planned for Mt. Oread. Still in
its early years, the Relays at
tained national prominence by
being host to 95 different col
leges from coast to coast.
Rain kept the first relay run
ning in drizzling rain.
By 1925 the meet was insured
,foi $4,000 and it became one of
the most eventful meets in relay
.. history with three world's rec
ords being broken.

Hiffh Bail Set
For 18th Player
Iii BB Scandal
Jackie Goldsmith, former Long
Island university set-shot artist,
was branded as the "biggest fixer
of all" in New York's ever-increasing
basketball bribery scan
dal. Goldsmith, the 18th college
player drawn into the net since
Jan. 1, is held on $50,000 bail
the highest yet set 1n the scandal.
Assistant District Attorney Vin
cent O'Connor termed him "the
sum of all that is wrong in the
basketball picture in recent
years."
O'Connor said Goldsmith "was
responsible for the corruption of
whole groups of players, more
than anyone else in the city."
$3,500 In Bribes.
Goldsmith was arrested Satur
day in the climax of a police
hunt which started Feb. 15. He
was charged with offering four
ex-Long Island university play
ers Natie Lipman. Eddie Gard,
Dick Feurtado and Lou Lipman
$3,500 in bribes to throw the
Long Island-Duquesne game at
Madison Square Garden Jan. 1,
1950.
However, O'Connor in de-
j manding the high bail Sunday
m week end court, said txoid
smith'6 activities in fixing games
carried on for six years. He
said the 31-year-old should not
be allowed to go free because
"people associated -with him fear
what he can give us."
Corruption Exemplified
"In Goldsmith we see all
phases of corruption exempli
fied," O'Connor asserted.
The assistant District Attorney
told Magistrate John Pender
gast, "he has known over a pe
riod of weeks we have been lnpk
ing for him. He has been hiding
in the city and elsewhere. He
was intercepted Saturday night
while dashing into a -waiting car
whose motor -was running -with
a relative behind the wheel.

"Nebraska weather!" groaned
Ed Higginbotham, Husker tennis
coach.
The unstable Nebraska weather
with its flash rains and snows
is a hold-up spot with many of
the spring sports, including ten
nis. Coach Higginbotham is
tramurals at present. Outdoor
courts and diamonds too fre
quently show the weather and
discourage the competitive meets.
"With 256 persons participat
ing in tennis intramurals," said
Higginbotham, "you can see how
eight groups of 32 each would
a time finding space and time
in rainy weather to play the full
fimount of sets."
Proud of His Boys
Coach Higginbotham is pretty
proud of his varsity tennis men.
The boys are really doing their
best and coming right along. The
nine varsity members use a chal
lenge system to gain rank on the
team Bob Radin holds number
one spot on the tennis team now,
but the honor varies according
to who beats who.
Jamie Curran is number two
man. However, li curran cnai
lenges Radin to a match and Cur
ran wins, he will become number
one man until someone challenges
him and wins. Radin would take
over the number two position.
This arrangement works for all
nine positions on the team. Each
member may challenge the one
above him.
Other Members
The other seven team members
are Walt Weaver, Jeff Lelton,
Andy Bunten, Frank Redmond,
Bob Crook, John Schroeder and
Dan Thompson. The coach went
on to explain that one reason
tennis was handicapped at Ne
braska was that many of the boys
do not receive competitive train
ing in high school. Few Nebraska
high schools support a varsity
tennis team constantly.
Next year's tennis team -will
have at least three returning let
termen along with freshmen eli
gible for the varsity team. Hig
ginbotham hopes to use the ex
perienced men as a nucleus and
add others in building up team
strength. Also he hopes to keep
on improving the caliber of com
petition that the boys face.
The team will face the Colorado
Buffs, April 27. Higginbotham is
looking forward to the Denver
university match to be played in,
Lincoln on May 9. He said Den
ver has one of the best tennis
teams in the country.
' ft&du&te
Coach Higginbotham graduated
from Doane college in Crete. Ha
had taken pharmacy and then
cided to go to the University
Illinois for an undergra-" .
physical education course. e
took his master in P. E. at 1 e
University of Wisconsin. Then a
taught at Beatrice and Frer ' it
before coming to the Univer " v.
In college, Higginbotham ' -tered
in football, basketball i
track. In his experience as cor- i,
he has taugh these three sports
plus swimming, gymnastics, ten
nis and baseball.
He is a very enthusiastic sports
man and considers it an oppor
tunity to coach and meet so many
boys as he does. Phil Sprague and
Al Dunovan are two of Higtrin
botham's boys. He coached them
in gymnastics at Beatrice and
coached them again when they
came to the University.
He says that . it really feels
grand to get to know the boys so
well and be able to help them
and share their enthusiasm nd
spirit, also watch their success.
Coach Higginbotham had a
chance to coach Robert Taylor ;n
track. He said that Taylor co; d
really run the hurdles and woni
have been a very able track man.
Instead Taylor was interested in
music and finally became affPi
ated with Hollywood. In one of
his movies during a track scene,
however, Taylor did his own running
