After viewing Saturday's Alumni-Varsity tilt won hv tho va,
sity 16T13. we can say that the Huskers have the manpower
are big and fast and seem to be well manned at the vital tailoack
spot, with John .Bordogna and Rex Fischer carrying most of the
load, and with help due from Bill Thayer and possibly Ray No!
Van
Tmeig iuestion then "Have the Huskers had enough time
or wiU they have enough time to master the single wing in good
enough style to win in this tough Big Seven Conference'" The
spring weather has played havoc with Coach Bill Glassford's spring
session, as usual and time is important because the single wing
is a formation calling for precise blocking and much work, on funda
mentals. The things that will make the switchover smooth and effective
are: first, the Huskers have run from a spread formation at different
times during the past three seasons, and since the blocking assign
ments while not identical, are similar. Therefore, blocking
shouldn t be as big a problem as it first apepars. Secondly the
Huskers are counting on veterans who have the experience, talent

Th main thing to guard against is not to build the Huskers
Into a paper powerhouse. Such was the case in 1951 remember?
While in the process of saying adios to the grldsport we
came across some interesting football items from Texas way From
the Dallas News: "Administrators of 1,278 Texas high schools will
vote the next week on whether they want spring football train
ing. "Two choices are offered. One permits twenty-one consecutive
calendar days of spring training. It would allow fall football prac
tice to begin one week prior to the first Friday in September, with
no inter-school game to be scheduled until the second weekend
Biier lau practice Begins.
"The second choice prohibits spring training, it allows fall work
outs to start the second Monday prior to the first Friday in Septem
ber. No game could be played until the second week end after
practice starts."

We haven't as yet heard the results of the voting, but if it
Is consistent with Texas policy, we should see spring football for
Texas high schools!
In a further effort to prevent inter-conference raiding, the
Southeastern conference has come up with a "letter of intent" which
the prep star signs with the University he hopes to attend. No
other conference member may then sign him to such a letter. Up
to April 23, TCU had signed 12 boys to the agreement, with other
members reporting signers also.

For the third straight year in
tramural Softball bowed to un
yielding forces as Mother Nature's
liquid Spring forced the cancclla
tion of the 1953 diamond league
action.
Although getting off to a fine
start which saw 48 regular-season
contests reaching completion, the
cold, wet fingers of rain ruled out
the rest of the round-robin action
and turned the already-completed
games into practice shorties.
In order to finish the 1-M sea
son by May. 23, the last day of
classes, the Intramural Depart
ment has again been forced to
revert to the single-elimination
tournament as the means to es
tablish thc various Softball cham
pionships.
Two brackets for the fraternity
and independent divisions have
been set up with play beginning
last night, Monday. Fraternity
first-round action continues
through Wednesday when the
Independents take over. All
teams, except for the six teams
that have drawn byes, will have
their first-round contest out of
the way by Thursday night.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Corn
husker Co-op, Theta Chi and
Delta Tau Delta drew first-round
byes in the fraternity action while
the Baptist Student House and
Practical Arts were the lucky ones
tin the Independent tourney.

Some routes, naturally, are longer than
others. But if there is less traffic on them,
they might get you to Kankakee faster.
The same holds true of your Long
Distance calls. When circuits are tempo
rarily busy on the most direct route for
your call, a new electronic brain in the
telephone office automatically selects alter
nate routes. They may be hundreds of
miles longer, but the detour saves you time.
And the entire operation of selection
and rerouting is done in a split second 1
The Bell System people who perfected,
maintain and operate this electronic
switching system have one goal: to make
the best telephone service in the world
even better. Would you like to join this
competent, aggressive team?
There are many opportunities in the
Bell System in engineering, business ad
ministration, accounting, and other fields.
Your Placement Officer can give you the
details.
