BOOZE Staff Sporting Writer The week end of May 10-11 will be a big one for athletics here in Lincoln. Those are the dates for the annual Big Seven 'beer can throwing meet at Delt Woods. This event became popular sev eral years ago in the Ivy League and was adopted only in 1955 in the widwest. Athletes from all of the Big Seven schools are expected " -TV. 1 i ' 1 1 Y Groundskcepors inree nicmr, versity Beer Can Throwing team to participate. The Huskers are defending champions so they are hosts and must supply the cans either full or empty. Some 287 candidates have been working out under the leadership of their fine coach Mr. John Blue Ribbon. Coach Blue Ribbon and his average steed squad have been working hard every weekend in an attempt to get in shape for the big event. The list of 13 lettermen include such top stars as Glenn Storz, Bill Falstaff, and Jerry Schlitz, the Country Club champ for three straight seasons. ' Winners of this years contest will receive awards, which they feel are very valuable. Top prize is a lifetime supply of the winner's choice la beer for the athlete and his great-grandmother. One reason that all of the fel lows and girls (yes, for the first time girls are being admitted to the sport) are working so hard to try and win is that anyone not finishing in the top 25 are forced to help clean up the mess. From all reports this cleanup job isn't at all easy and sometimes tales several days after they are able to start to work on it. Word from the other conference schools look like the meet could be close all of the way. Missouri coach Happy Drinker says &at school spirit is at an all time Mgh this spring mainly be cause of the brilliant prospects for a great beer can throwing team. Although only 50 candi dates have reported for the sport they seem to have a lot of ex perience. Most of the athletes report that they first became in terested in the sport when they were freshmen or sophomores in high school. Oklahoma also appears headed for a good year. Coach Filkson currently has well over 200 candi dates working out and many of them are girls. He told us in a telephone conservation that, "the girls seems to be working harder unbellveable is that the track was covered with mud and to beat Hardin, reputed to be the fastest man at the distance on a dry day, he had to throw mudballs at the same time as he was trying to keep a straight course running backwards. The record is even more un usual when you consider that Har din who is a star pitcher for Everglades (when he's not run ning in the mud), threw back at Anderson but couldn't budge him Bees' Event ed Meuf Month in practice than the fellows." Colorado's team had the mis fortune of losing five of last years top squadmembers because of midconduct in practice.

Faculty Bike Club Will Meet Tonight Miss Emmy Sloyd, instructor in Anglo-Saxon, announced last Fri day her intention to start a Faculty Bicycle Club. "I think too many of the instruc tors here at NU, especially the males, are fat and flabby," said Miss Sloyd. "FBC seems to me the perfect way to rid this cam pus of those pesty calories. Look at me," she said, "and it all comes from paddle-pushing my tandenitoschool jeverimQrning" Miss Sloyd sees great prospects for FBC in that there is a potential membership of shghtly under 1000. All faculty members wishing to join FBC please meet at Al's Bi cycle Shop at 176th and R tonight at 8 p.m. for the charter meet ing.

He also took a second to Kardner in the shotput. Elbert Wood won the rope climb. . 1 i ' Six Rookies To Start: Tony Readies Crew For Reports Baseball Team Baseball Coach Sharp Tony an nounced last night that six rookies will be in the starting lineup this afternoon as the University of Nebraska open their campaign against Drake U. on the Husker diamond. The rookies will form the best looking infield and battery that Nebraska has seen in years. All are beautiful prospects and the squad is shaping up as the con ference's No. 1 team of the year. The main reason for Sharp Tony's enthusiasm is a young pitcher from Monoco. The good looking sophomore Grace Keily came to Nebraska after being highly recommended as a curve ball artist and model. No doubt sveryooe has heard the cry throW him the old Kim Novake ball," the one with all the curves, well this is Grace's most used pitch. She also has an excellent fast ball which she contributes to excellent form on the mound and every where also for that matter. Grace is supposed to arrive in time to continue to work out for the rest of the week with Coach Tony's boys. It is rumored that the signing of the new star has done much for the moral of the ball club. Joan Maysfield is the catcher. This blond-headed youngster has everyone raving about her talent. She has received a lot of publicity in the past few months. The strong arm of the infield is the rookie Stretch Eckbury from the Virgin Islands. Stretch is pegged to start at first base. She is a bundle of fire. Not only does her height and form help in pulling This event was held in front of the stadium on the flag pole and drew the largest crowd of the af ternoon. The only injury sustained during the meet was by Wood. He re ceived severe burns sliding back down the pole. Other major victories were scored by Pen Kollard in the two mile high hurdles, a new event that was just added this year, Garry Lauseman and Knale Dotec down high ones but she maintains, it also helps her batting average.' Miss Eckbury is a 6'8", 28-20-26 it helps her batting which was a rosy .500 last winter when she played for the Boston Pink Pants in the Snowqall League. Miss Eckbury atributes part of her success to her fellow team mate the former Mrs. J. DiMaggio who has been doing an excellent job at the "hot Corner". Miss Mul rose has a fine throwing arm, which she is always throwing around someone. Marlyn has been having a little trouble fielding grounders which Sharp Tony atri butes to an injury she received last winter while playing in the Sandwich League. She was run over and spiked in the back when Dick Stuart slid into third on a very very close play. The keystone combination on the squad should also be improved since the Jones sister enrolled in school, Patty and Piggy are Mts on the field as well as off. They don't believe in baseball practice and the girls never stay in at night and get their rest nor do they ever train. Their time is spent mostly on dates. Piggy says that her favorite past time is dancing. They never have any hours since they are such brilliant prospects The girls live in sorority house and seem to have a way of getting by with things usually considered out for college students and especi ally for athletes. Both girls are 40-25-38 , and have a lot of power in their frames. The outfield will consist of three lettermen from last year.
