Effective Next Year
Price Of Nebraska Football
Tickets Reduced Recently
Comhusker athletic ticket
prices are being reduced im
mediately so far as feasible to
pass the recent federal tax cut
on to the purchasers, the Uni
versity of Nebraska Athletic De
partment announced over the
spring vacation period.
Bill Orwig, athletic director,
said the reduction has the ap
proval of the Board of Regents.
It countermands a recommenda
tion for no change in prices
made by the Athletic Board on
March 22.
The move makes the follow
ing ticket price reductions effec
tive for the 1954-55 season:
STUDENT TICKETS
Formr Reduced
Prtct
Season football . . . $ 5.00
Season, all other
sports $ 3.00
PUBLIC TICKETS
Season football . . .f 17.50
Season football
box $20.00
Single reserved
ticket $ 3.50
Single box ticket. $ 4.00
FACULTY TICKETS
Season football ,..$ 6.00
Season, all other
sports $ 4.00
No cut is being made in the
prices of single general admis
sion football tickets which re
main at $2, or in the 50-cent
knothole tickets. Cut in these two
categories are not considered
Justified because the old rates
were already below standard.
ORWIG SAID he believes the
price reductions are necessary
as a matter of policy.
"When congress removed the
federal tax it was expected that
the saving would be passed along
to ticket purchasers. Our depart
ment cannot be placed in the
position of appearing to capture
tax money which belongs to the
fans," he said.
Prica
$ 4.50
$ 2.50
$15.00
$17.50
$ 3.00
$ 3.50
$ 5.50
$ 3.50
"Actually, the department
needs more ticket revenue to
support our expanded grant-in-aid
program. The proper way to
increase ticket revenues, how
ever, is by a clear increase in
ticket prices and not by a move
which can be interpreted as a
pocketing of money intended as
a tax saving," Orwig said. "It's
a fine point, but there is a mat
ter of policy involved."
Orwig said the decision was
complicated by the fact that ad--vertising
matter listing the prices
of Nebraska football games will
have to be changed. It was al
ready printed.
"We will have to see how we
get along during the coming
year," Orwig said. "I think it is
quite likely that ticket prices
will have to go up in 1955, but
if an increase is necessary it will
be clean-cut and understandable
to fans."

Dirkes Rolston walked and stole

both runners advanced on a wild

scoring Rolston. Jim Cederdahl
then connected on the first of his
three hits, a double, to push
across Gottsch.
Sloppy fielding by the Jayhawks
gave the Scarlet three more runs
in the third. After Gottsch had
singled sharply to center, Ceder

With the advent of warmer
weather the Intramural Sports
scene takes on a new look '.th
six events going into swing after
spring vacation.
Heading the list is the Softball
tournament with the first pitch
being tossed at 5:20 Thursday
evening. Play will get underway
on the Ag College fields and on
the old Coliseum diamonds.
Defending Fraternity A cham
pion, Comhusker Coop, will not
see action on the first day as ten
teams face each other in the
double-elimination affair.
A strong favorite to repeat for
the third straight year as All
University champions Is the In
dustrial Arts aggregation headed
by the whipping arm of Arnie
Boich, who waa named the
leagues' most valuable player
last year. His record has never
been neared in the history of re
corded Softball play.
Boich twirled six games last
year for a total of 34 innings and
allowed only five hits while
racking up two no-hitters and
three one-hitters. He fanned a
staggering total of 76 men and
walked only 10, and allowed but
three runs, all unearned.
Thursday's schedule: Sigma
NU vs. Delta Tau Delta; Sigma
Chi vs. ATO; Sigma Phi Epsi
lon vs. Phi Gamma Delta; Sigma
Alpha Epsilon vs. Beta Theta
Pi; Phi Kappa Psi vs. Phi Delta
Theta.
ALSO GETTING into full
swing Thursday is the spring
tennis doubles tourney. All of
League I will see action with
play starting at 7:00 p.m. Last
year's kings were Phi Gamma
Delta as a team and Sigma Alpha
Mu's Marshall Becker and Norm
Veitzer as the individual cham
pions. Spring golf play will tee off
Saturday and Sunday mornings
in team and medal play at the
Pioneer Park links. All partici
pants must tee off between 7:1)0
and 8:30 on these two mornings.
The bird started flying Mon
day in one of the largest bad
minton tournies in recent years.
Defending their crowns will be
defending All-U champion
Presby House and Fraternity
chamipons, Alpha Tau Omega.
This spring also sees the be
ginning of a new sport for the
present -students attending the
University. The renewal of
horseshoe competition after
many years of absence should
provide interesting competition
for many.
The pitchoffs get underway
April 26 and entries must be in
to the I-M office in the Physical
Education Building by April 20.
