Not only do its devotees develop superb muscular coordination and a beautiful suntan, (or burn) but they meet the most interesting people on golf courses. Supposedly the winner of a match completes the prescribed course In the least number of strokes, bet I am here to tell you that it isn't always so. It has happened in a number of cases that the highest score has won, to wit and viz. Recently I was party to a fine foursome of persons who decided to play a round of golf. The party consisted of two college men and two gals. The men were excellent golfers and the girls were not too skilled at the game. The girls, however, were playing for much larger stakes than was visibly apparent at first glance. One of the young ladies, an attractive blonde, was obviously in need of some instructions. It. of course, was only natural for our hero to offer help to this young lady by demonstrating how to hold the ciuo properly ana now to swing it lor best results. After some valiant attempts on the part of the fair lady, it be came obvious that she was leading; up to something- of a slightly more serious nature. The natural result of this game was of rourse an other session at golf, and a follow up coke-date. Strangely enough this disarmingly simple pattern developed into a lona irienasnip ana Deiore we Knew n, tney were pinned and en gaged to be married. This illustrative anecdote demonstrates that old adage that there are more big deals promoted on golf courses accidentally than some times happen under other circumstances on purpose.

While football and basketball teams work in the' sports spot light, the gymnastics squad toils in the background. Yet the sport is an interesting one and some times easier to understand than the two-platoon systems of the gridiron and cage sports. Coach of Nil's gymnastic team is Jake Geier, a former Husker gymnast himself, has been with the team as player, NU Plays KS To Deadlock A sputtering University of Ne braska grid machine managed to generate enough power to tie Kansas State Saturday at Man hattan, 6-6- Despite the final score, a large crowd of Husker fans were badly disappointed since Nebraska had been favored to win by 14 points. Bill Glassford's offensive team asserted its power on the opening minutes of the game, but after that the final outcome of the game was dependent on his defensive platoon. ' Tom Carodine received the Wildcat kickoff on his 15 and raced it back to the NU 36. Don Vogt followed suit by grinding out a first down on the 49. John Bor dogna completed his first pass to Carodine on the Kansas State 38. Nick Adduci was held to a yard gain, but Carodine picked up eight yards on an end sweep , Nebraska picked up its second first down as Vogt fumbled and then recovered on the 26. Carodine scooted to the 14. Adduci failed to gain, but Vogt went through left tackle for another first down on the Wildcat 11. After Bor dogna lost a yard trying a quarter back sneak, Carodine scored on another sweep of the Kansas State right side. A bad snap from center caused Bobby Decker to miss the extra point. Kansas State tied up the game in the third quarter and threat ened to score again, but the Husk er defense toughened up enough to ward off the fatal blows. coach or assistant coach since 1936. Coach Geier is full of in formation about the sport in general and the Nebraska team in particular. A gymnastic meet involves six events. Each team can have three men entered in each of the six events, which consist of the side horse, the high bar, parallel bars, rings, tumbling, and the trampoline. The events are run off in this order. Each of the gymnasts per forms one original exercise. This must be his cvn idea. The performer is then judged by three judges on three points: form, continuity, an difficulty. Judging on this basis, the judges award individual points to each man. High point man is the winner of the event. To get a team champion, the individual winners are given team or placement points. These points are awarded as follows: six for first, four for second, three for third, two for fourth, and one for fifth place. The team with the highest placement total is the winner of the meet. These placement points are also used as criteria for award-gymnastics let ters. The requirement for a letter at Nebraska is 45 points. Coach Geier will have four lettermen back from last year. The numeral winners are Ira Epstein, Paul Hughes, Bob Yar wood and Jerry Tnbbs. These men will be the core around which the 51-5? squad will be built. Geier hopes o have eight on the team. The squad will choose its cao- tain Tuesday. October 9. Bob Yar- wood and Paul Hughes are eligible for the captaincy, both men be ing seniors and letter .winners. The hardies, which have been a Nebraska strong point in past years, will be in the capable hands of lettermen Don Bedker and Dan Tolman. When the foot ball season ends Dick Westln, sophomore, will also report for duty as a hurdler. . In the absence of Jones, mono gram winner Dale Schnackel will be Weir's main threat in the 880. He turned in some excellent clock ings last year and should pack a lot of scoring power. Lone veteran entrant in the 440 Is letter winner Bill Hein. Weir will depend heavily on freshman to furnish his team with depth. Several of last year's gold medal winners in the state prep meet are trying for berths on the team. Among them are McCue, Brien Hendrickson, Earle Long and Fred Spann. Hendrickson breezed to a 54.2 quartermlle Thursday to show that he is almost ready for varsity competition. Long, Mc Cool Junction, is working smoothly in the 880 yard run. and Spann, an Arkansas NROTC man, is developing rapidly in the distances. Clayton Scott, Grand Island, also looks like varsity material. Coach Weir stressed the fact that it is the stop watch and tape mea sure that determines a man's track abilities," and it is one's own work for improvement that can gain a spot on the squad.

It is for the players, but not for the fans. The rush onto the play ing field, or the basketball floor, as the case may be, looks like a new set of replacements. But wait they come in droves. What's the big idea? They're in the autograph hunting game. To be sure, this is nothing new. It's been going on in this country ever since the words "competi tion" and "football hero" were coined. Yet, in spite of this drove of screaming, yelling, half-crazed signature snitchers, no one seems to stop and think about those who can't scream, yell and kick up their heels in the dust of the play ing field. Those people, much as they'd like to express their exuberance along with everyone else, are in hibited restrained because braces, casts and iron lungs hold them down. These people are children all ages who have been crippled be Main Features Start State: "Adventures of Captain Fabian", 1:00, 3:56, 6:54, 9:50; "Heart of the Rockies," 2:40, 5:37, 8:34.

Every year, Coach Bill Glass- ford receives letters from ortho pedic hospitals and polio wards all over Nebraska. Their requests range all the way from programs of major sports events to auto graphed "baseballs. This fall, Larry Franzen and Dave Noble, student managers for the University football squad have a requested project in prog ress. It requires snagging the players as they come through the dinner line. Before they know it, either Franzen or Noble thrusts a pen under their noses with "Sign here, please." Obviously it Isn't legal notices they're attaching their names to, For. upon being handed the pen, one player immediately scrawiea his name at least a half a dozen times in rapid succession all on separate sheets of paper These sheets of paper were orints from the long photograph taken of the varsity football squad earlier this fall. And each one of them goes to a separate polio or orthoDedic ward somewhere in this state. No wonder people have a dif ficult time telling those kids that there are other places existing in this world besides Nebraska! Four Lettermen Anchor Husker Wrestling Team Wrestling coach Al Partin will rely heavily upon new men to carry a good share of the load for the Huskers' tough schedule this year. Four lettermen return from last year's squad. Perry Lietel will again compete in the 137-pound class, and Kenny Fisher is back at 157. Dave Mackie, 167-pounder, and light heavyweight Harley Richardson are the other letter winners to return this year. Other men showing promise so far are Jim Ferris, 123, Dar rell Adamson, 130, freshman 137-pounder Don Scanlon, and John Scharf in the 145-pound class. Coach Partin has hope that the heavyweight spot will be re7 forced by one of the bigger de fensive linemen from the varsity football squad. Partin will tem porarily withhold the candidate's name. The Husker mentor announced that all positions were open and urged anyone interested .to come out for the squad. He believes that no previous wrestling ex perience is necessary if a man is physically capable and is willing to work. "Four of last year's ten termen had no wrestling ex perience before eomlng to the University," Partin said. Since only six Nebraska high schools carry a wrestling program, a great many of the wrestlers at Nebraska start from scratch.

Are most of the girls you . mm tennis iqko date the athletic type? According to University WAA records, 41 of those 100 lovely coeds you take to Kings dancing participate in some form of intramural games. Girls' intramurals have bunt up tremendously since 1924. Before that year girls played interclass games. In 1924 Miss Lee, director of Women's Physi cal Education Department, came to the University of Nebraska and found there were too few participants in girls' athletics. They set up competition between various organized groups. About a year ago 15 different sports were offered with 3,000 registrants- Volleyball brings out the greatest number of girls. Every sorority and ten independ ent groups enter play. Any girl can get a group together for intra mural participation. In addition to intramural com petition, there are also many sport clubs. Tennis, swimming, orchesis, pre-orchesis, rifle, ducKpin, bad minton, and canoeing clubs are now organized.
