Sports Staff Menace
Well. Coach Bill Glassford re
ceived one big blow Wednesday
vhen he was informed that two
of his ace footballers. Bob Smith
ind Andy Loehr, would not be
available for action with the 1954
cam. The dreary news came
only a few days after the close
if the annual spring football
drills.
Smith, who had hern counted
to rcrry much of the load at
lhc fullback position, announced
'Vodnesdatr that he was unable
o remain out for football because 1 chess teammates were eotnr
-f a conflict with his chess ac- through a brisk practice session in

The Grand Island back told
THE PINK RAG that "the
rougher Ihe sport was, the better
he liked it" so he decided to con
centrate on the fame of chess.
As Smith put it: "I have nothing
against the game of football, but
I would rather participate in a
game which the play is rougher
since I now have to make a
choice."
Today we found Smith busily
at work on the sport he chose to
keep. Sweat was pouring down
his brow as he and his fellow
concentrate on his chess activ
ities. McGulligan admitted that
it would have been difficult for
Smith to divide his chores be
tween the football and chess
teams.

position on the Nebraska football
team Wednesday. Del Harding, a

Johnson, who tossed a two-ounce

within the first few minutes of

Some doubt has arisen as to
whether or not his hesitation pitch
was more effective than his over
hand backhand.
Johnson said that the secret of
his success was his overhand

be delivered with any degree of

glected in the University sports
schedule, Miss Airedale feels. "'I
hope the new athletic director
will emphasize it," she said.
She also indicated shyly that
if prizes were awarded to official
yo-yo champs, there might be
more incentive to compete. - She
suggested a four-year scholarship
as a possible reward. J'If awarded

Coach Henry McGulligan told
us that Smith and the chess team
will participate in ten meets next
year. The current spring training
practice will end at the close of
the semester with the 1954 sched
ule beginning in the latter of part
of September,
Included on the ten-game slate
are matches in Moscow with the
Russian Academy of Athletes
which last year were upset by the
Nebraska team. Another meet
will send the squad for a two
game series with the Texas State
College for Women. I guess we
can't blame Bob too much.
The Loehr incident came as a
shocker to the Husker coaches
and to his many friends. No one
really knew too much about the
rugged end"s romantic life, but
it was a complete surprise when
his pal, Nick Adduci, informed
Coacn Glassford that Loehr was
in New York, happily married
and unable to return to school.
According to Adduci, who many
believed palled the same stunt
several years ago only to have
I niversity officials find out that
the Army got him, Loehr mar
ried a miss rleulah Betindorter,
a former coed at Slippery Kock
'leachers and up to Monday, a
Elgin Watch C., employee.
Loehr, a tough, glue-fingered
end for the Husker football team
the last few years, had been
counted on heavily by Glassford.
Glassford summed up the situa
tion by stating: "We certainly
can't let football interfere with
Andy's married life. We wish him
the best of luck."

Could Be Booming
I The Office of Admissions has
announced the applications for
transfer of a large bloc of Okla
', homa University students.
I Among the requests for transfer
; were discovered the names of
j both the first and second Okla
i homa football teams. This
' prompted THE PINK RAG to
: make several phone calls to the
Oklahoma campus to verify these
actions which have proved to be
! true.
Because of these transfers an
; announcement has been received
I from the Department of Intercol
j legiate Athletics at Oklahoma U
i announcing the participation the
j remainder of the Oklahoma fool
ball team in the intramural foot
ball program next fall.
These actions have caused great
consternation in Big Seven
schools. An announcement is ex
pected momentarily, announcing
a fall program of canasta tourna
ments to replace football at all
Big 7 schools.
Head football coach at NU Bill
Glassford, could not be reached
at this tune for comment.
Geier Signs Fact
With Pittsburgh
Dick Geier, promising left
hander of the pitching corps of
the Nebraska baseball squad,
quit school Monday and signed
a professional baseball contract
with his long-time idol, the
high-frying Pittsburgh Pirates.
Geier was believed to have re
ceived nearly $50,000 for inking
the Pirate contract.
The big Lincoln southpaw was :
immediately inserted into the
Buc lineup in a game with the
New York Yankees Wednesday
and he promptly silenced them
on a lone base hit during his six
inning stint.
