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

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

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. Like the
Oklamoma boys, they worked too
long last Saturday night and after
words started one of the biggest
riots that the school has ever
seen.

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

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. Miss Sloyd will preside, the
constitution will be drawn, and
election of officers will take place.

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. The well
known "kitten sisters" will hold
