Star Of The Week:
The Dental College All Univer
sity runner-up placed 3 men on the
first unit of the All Independent
intramural football team. Phil Ey
en, Warren Houfek. and Squeak
Allen were the Dents named to
the honorary team. They are
Joined by Wayne Copes of Mae
Lean House, Larry Wenzl of Can
field, Chuck Jensen of Hitchcock,
and Dick Cory of Gustavson XL
Phil Eyen was a unanimous
choice on everyone oponent team.
This is the fourth year that Eyen
has been named to some honorary
intramural football team. Eyen
was a dangerous passed at any
time; he could also run and block.
Right behind Eyen in the back
field is Chuck Jensen. Jensen
sparked Hitchcock House to the
Selleck Quadrangle championship.
Jensen was also a triple-threater.
Rounding out the backfield is
Dick Cory. Cory was the one
bright spot for Gustavson II. His
play threw many a scare into
some cf the better teams.
Up front are four fine linemen.

Jim Kubacki and Don Smidt
have been chosen by the Nebras-
kan as the first winter" "Stars of
the Week" for their fine play in
the two contests against UCLA
last week end.
The two juniors led the scoring
parade for Nebraska in those
games. Little "Kuba" netted 16
points Friday night as Jerry
Bush's crew dropped a 69-56 deci
sion. He was, as usual, hitting on
his two-handed over the head shot
from 25-30 feet out. Kubacki also
played an outstanding floor game

and was continually bothering the
Uclan's on defense as well as on
offense.-
' A S'10" 154 pounder from To
ledo, Ohio, Kubacki is one of the
,'; squad's hardest workers. He plays

er in season or not trying to im
prove his shooting and ball hand!'
ing ability.
Lut year as a sophomore Jim
teamed with Gary Reimers at the
guard posts as he is this year and
they did a very commendable job
Kubacki hit for 223 points last
season and was one of four play
ers who participated in all 23 con
tests. His point total was fourth
on the team which won only seven
of their games.
Bush plans on Kubacki for a lot
of action this season. The play-
maker of the squad, Kubacki is
well liked by the fans for his out
side shooting and ball handling
Kubacki, who also was outstand-
ing in high school, is in teachers
college at the university and will
probably coach after graduation
Kubacki doubles in the spring
as a baseball infielder on Tony
Sharpe's Cornhusker nine. He is
very good defensively and has a
good batting eye., He can play
second or short equally well and
at times last season even saw ac
tion in the outfield.
A fine student, he is liked well
by everyone.
Kubacki is one of four basket
ball squadsmen from Ohio. George
Swank, Jim Arwood, and Ron Par
sons also hail from Ohio.
Smidt, who like Kubacki was
starter last season, led the Husk
era in the second game at Los
Angeles as he scored 22 points

runner-up team, but that should take little of the luster away from the
first victory of the season.
Bush has assembled a well-balanced team, most of whom are un
derclassmen. The first two teams have only three seniors which means
that if all the members of the outstanding frosh team return, the
Huskers will be a team to be feared in the conference.
Improvement Everywhere
Not only was the all-over team play improved, the spirit of the
fans, especially the students was a good sign.
Not long ago, this column blasted the student body as being fair
weather followers.. The sports editor of the Lincoln Journal also com
mented on it in a State of the Union article concerning Nebraska foot
ball fortunes.
If Monday night's spirit was an indication of things to come, then
Cornhuskers everywhere will be able to point with pride to the entire
school and not just the athletic teams.
While the subject of school spirit is being discussed, it might be
worthwhile to mention this report that came from Oklahoma.
A Cornhusker footballer told this corner that the night before the
Nebraska game, the Oklahoma pep squad rounded up the entire foot
ball team, the band, and the pep organizations for a pep rally that
ws attended by less than 100 students. Bud Wilkinson must be quite a
psychologist!
Full Schedule
The winter sports teams swing into the campaign in the near future
for another season of desire. The desire stems from the fact that the
athletes have nothing else but the love of the sport attract them to
the teams. .
In spite of this, the Husker wrestling, swimming, gymnastics and
indoor track teams are expected to improve on their last year's per
formance. The only team that suffered heavy losses was the swim team. Hollie
Lepley reportedly has been tearing out his hair due to losses from in
eligibility and the armed forces. If you recall, last year the team was
composed of all underclassmen, and all hands were expected back. But
this fall found three lettermen not on the University rolls. ,
However, Lepley is his usual optimistic self and the Husker tank
team will undoubtedly give a good account of itself.
Don Strashelm welcomes back four lettermen and several prom
ising sophomores fo the mat squad. The team had to pass up an early
dual before Christmas because of conflicting plans. The first match is
Jan. 10 at Mankato State Teachers.
Marsh Nelson, 123 pound grappler has the distinction of having
met the best in bis class. Dick Delgado, Oklahoma 123 man, pinned
Nelson in the first round of last winter's Big Seven Meet. At last report,
Delgado had advanced to the quarter-finals of the Olympics. Another
Oklahoman, Dan Hodge, is also a member of the Olympic mat squad
and has been doing quite well.
Inrramurals
The intramural football season closed several weeks ago, but due
to the advertisers it was some time before the news of the champion
ship game reached the readers.
The All-Intramural selections will be presented during the week
with the All-University team to be featured on Friday. Many of the
independent teams failed to turn in their all opponent teams and as a
result the selection of independents has to be done by guess.
All it took was about five minutes of time to write down 14 names
on a piece of paper and turn the names in to the Nebrftskan office.
Due to a lack of playing fields,- there were less men participating
than before. There was no B league this year. If the situation is to con
tinue, one could.consider increasing the size of the teams to nine men.
Five linemen and four backs might produce more blockers and more
runs. The change would be for the good.
He scored 10 the first night and
did a very good job of rebound
ing on both occasions.
Smidt who hails from Helena,
Montana, is deadly with his set
shooting from the outside and can
maneuver very well under the bas
ket. Coach Bush depends on
"Smitty" quite a bit for both his
rebounding and scoring power.
At times the 6'4" 185 pounder
cannot be stopped as he has a
deadly eye for the hoop.
Smidt proved himself as a soph
omore when he scored 247 points
in 23 games. At this time there
was a bigger burden on his shoul
der as the team was without a
good big man. This season , with
Ron Parsons showing much
promise he should be able to re
lax more and therefore be a bit
more consistent.
Smidt is also a fine student and
is enrolled in Pre-Dentistry.
Kubacki and Smidt also played
large roles in last night's Husker
victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Kubacki scored 13 ooints and did
an excellent Job of ball handling
while Smidt added 7 points and
was one of the top rebounders in
the contest.
Smidt came to Nebraska with
very high recommendations and
has proved to be every bit as good
as expected. Although now resid
ing in Montana, Smidt was already
familiar with Nebraska as he was
born in Hastings and lived there
for the early years of his life.
These two Huskers will be in
action next on Saturday night
when Nebraska entertains Michi
gan at the Coliseum. Bush may
call on his starting five for near
iron man roles in this contest as
the Wolverines will nossihlv h
the best team Nebraska has met
so far this season. Michigan is led
by All-American football and bas-
Ketoail player Ron Kramer.
The Star of the Week award
will be presented to some out
standing Husker athlete each week
this winter.

Martin Jepson, E.E., Purdue, '53,
is an Engineer in the Radio and
Special Services Section of Illinois
Bell Telephone Company.
"I help design mobile radiotele
phone systems," says Martin. "We
have a wide variety of customers,
including trucking firms, railroads
and marine traffic of all kinds. Many
businessmen, too, want these systems
for their private cars. Each customer
has his own communications prob
lems, and these are a constant and
stimulating engineering challenge.
v "Another part of my job is to help
set up facilities for conventions,
sports events and the like. Last sum
mer's Democratic National Conven
tion, for instance, used enough
circuits and facilities to serve a small
city. There were special circuits for
broadcasting, teletypewriters, the
press, and for inside , communica
tions. It was our job to set those
facilities up and keep them operating.
"The increase in demand for tele
phone and related services is phe
nomenal. It's this growth that's
creating real career opportunities in
the telephone business. Add to this
the fact that it's a stable business,
and you've really got something!"
