8-7 Wrestling Record
raint Wins Award
r
it 'Stair ff Week'
By MAX KREITMAN
Sports Staff Writer
Charlie Bryant, an all-Big Seven
guard in football and an out
standing wrestler performer, has
been selected by The Nebraskan
as the second "Star of the Week"
on the strength of his excellent
season with Don Strasheim's wres
tling squad, compiling in nine dual
tests a record of eight wins and
one loss.
Decisions Blume
The 177 pound performer was
considered for the honor last week
but his successful engagement with
Dale Blume in Kansas State meet,
Feb. 11, 1955, was overshadowed
by the sparkling cage perform
ances of Will Fagler, last week's
recipient of the "Star of the
Week" award.
Even "though Bryant and the
wrestling crew were not in action
last week, the staff felt his out
standing record of the past few
weeks, including a decision over
Iowa's John Winder, last year's
Big Ten 167-pound champ, was de
serving of the recognition.
Throughout the campaign Bryant
has been one of the double-barreled
sparks for Strasheim's matmen.
Arnold Morton has been the other
consistent winner for the Huskers.
He is the only other Cornhusker
batting over .500 in matches won
with a respectable 5-4 mark. Bry
ant's win over Winder in a jaunt
to Iowa University was his top
effort of the year and coupled with
his K-State victory brought him to
an 8-1 slate.
Wins Six Of Seven
Bryant began his grappling ca
reer as a sophomore, winning six
of seven matches. He shared 167-
and 177-pound honors with NebraS'
ka's Dave Ellsinger. His only loss
was to Bill Ong, Colorado's 177
pound mainstay and Big Seven
champ.
In his junior year, Bryant lost
four of ten matches but finished
third in the Big Seven meet at
Norman, Oklahoma, and third in
the Big Seven tourney. He bowed
in the semifinals.
A rugged guard bolstering the
center of the line for Glassford's
Orange Bowl squad, Bryant letter
fd two years in football and re
ceived many grid honors for his
'54 play. Among them were All
Big Seven and honorable mention
Ail-American honors and the tenth
The Start-early Theory
Hofstetter Used Hoe
Handle For Vaulting
Jim Hofstetter, Nebraska's finest
pole vaulter since the days of Don
Cooper, used the start-early theory
to develop into a top-flight vaulter.
The Husker senior made his ini
tial vault in his first years of grade
school. Using a hoe handle for a
pole, Jim's first performance was
over a cane pole placed across two
barrels.
' "I tried a long time before I
got over that fishing pole," Jim
recalls, "but that really made me
interested in vaulting."
When he entered junior high Jim
naturally stayed with his pet event.

Old Council
Bids Adieu,
FadesAway
By PHYL CAST
Sports Staff Writer
Old Council members never die,
they just kind of fade away. Yes,
it's getting about that time when
the old Council must say adieu
and a new one will take its place
This can mean nothing else than
the fact that application for Coun
cil and Sportsboard positions will
soon be open. You can pick up
application blanks outside the WAA
office door starting March 2. These
must be in the 16th.
A slifht switch has been pulled,
Sportsboard and Council positions
have been combined and are now
one group. The new positions
are: Volleyball and Badminton,
Archery and Duckpins, Tennis
Doubles and Singles and Nebraska
Ball, Soccer Baseball and Golf,
Freshman Soccer Baseball and
Table Tennis. Softball and Bowling,
Baseball, Social and Publicity
chairmen, Office Manager and Co-
Recreation, Intramural Co-ordina-tor,
Assistant Intramural Co-ordin-ator.
Applications Due
At the same time you turn in
your application blank, sign up for
an interview. Here's the deal. In
terviews will be the 17th and the
19th from 4:00-6:00 p.m. This may
get a bit confusing, so try thinking
real clear.
Anyone applying for these posi
tions Intramural Co-ordinator,
Assistant Intramural Co-ordinator,
Publicity and Social Chairmen, or
Office Manager and Co Recreation
you MUST sign up for an inter
view on the 17th. Why you ask and
I reply, Ours not to reason wy, ours
but to do or die.
Since the basketball tournament
is double elimination, there is ac
tually nothing definite set on who
stands where. Also ping pong has
not been in progress long enough
to tell anything. So much for that.
It was really nothing.
This is the moment you've been
waiting for when again the in
spires message of who plays to
morrow night in Co-Rec is brought
to you. I could fake you out and
and not even tell you but that
would make this column awfully
short so here goes: KAPPA ALPHA
THETA No. 3 and DELTA TAU
DELTA, DELTA GAMMA and
BETA THETA PI, GAMMA PHI
BETA No. 2 and PHI ,DELTA
THETA, ALPHA PHI No. H and
DELTA UPSILON, WILSON HALL
No. 1 and CORNHUSKER CO-OP,
ALPHA OMICRON PI and ALPHA
GAMMA RHO. ,
Although he lettered in football and
basketball at Kearney, his main
interest remained with track and
the pole vault.
"My biggest disappointment
came in my junior year at Kear
ney. After qualifying for the pole
vault for the State Meet, I broke
my kneecap and couldn't compete
at Lincoln. It was really a let
down after I had been working to
wards , that , meet , ftryears.. and
years."
His early-age vaulting paid big
dividends his senior year. He
vaulted 12 foot 1 inch and achieved
his childhood ambition of compet
ing in the State Meet at Lincoln
where he placed second in the
vault.
When Jim entered the University,
Don Cooper, first collegian valuter
to clear 15 feet, was still at Ne
braska completing studies towards
his graduation in January.
"That was the best break I had,"
the 21-year-old accounting major
said. "Don Cooper taught me more
about pole vaulting in a semester
than I had picked up in all my
previous practice."
As a sophomore for the Huskers,
Jim remembers an incident which
didn't help his vaulting any.

Bill Glassford
Says Coaching
Job Still Open
Head football coach Bill Glass
ford said Tuesday that no decision
had yet been reached concerning
the appointment of a new end
coach to fill the vacancy left by

IN THE DARK about which cigarette to
smoke? Take a hint from the Droodle
above, titled: Two searchlight crews, one
asleep, qne enjoying better-tasting
Luckies. Your search is over when you
light up a Lucky. You'll find out why col
lege smokers prefer Luckies to all other
brands, as shown by the latest, greatest
college survey. Once again, the No. 1
reason: Luckies taste better. They taste
better, first of all, because Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is
toasted to taste better. "Its Toasted?'
the famous Lucky Strike process tones
up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco
to make it taste even better . . . cleaner,
fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better
tasting cigarette. . . Lucky Strike.
