V Tuesdoy, October 1, 1957 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Intramural Footbdll Begins; Xl's Manatt Among Winners By DEL RASMUSSEN Staff Sportg Writer ' Supervisor Ed Higginboth em's Intramural Touch Football League is underway this year with what c o u 1 d be, some new cham pions emerging as leaders. This year, the Daily Nebras kan plans to provide a football forecast each week as well as foot ball ratings as the season prog resses. Tuesday evening the action got underway with the Sigma Nu sev en spanking the Delta Tau Delta team, 19-7. University Offers Top IM Program The University of Nebraska In tramural program is perhaps one ot the finest in existence at any college in the country. Intramural Director Ed Higgenbotham has scheduled 10 Fall activities, nine winter activities and seven spring activities. The setup includes a great va riety of sporting events ranging from touch football to fly casting. The fall golf medal play and hole in one contest have already been held while the touch football, fall bowling and basketball free throw ing contest are under way. In his Handbook of Intramurals, Higgenbotham points out seven aims of the IM program. These are: 1. To encourage self-participation, transforming us from passive spectators into very active per formers. 2. Offer a variety of activities balanced between vigorous and light exercise, team and individual sports, to meet present interests and future needs. 3. Seeks to provide a welcome Incentive to the far larger number of those most in need of competi tive , experience on a reasonably equal basis rather than limiting itself to the few super-performers on varsity teams. 4. Furnishes a wholesome outlet for otherwise repressed play in stincts, and acts as the most ef fective safety valve against other dangerous and anti-social prac tices. 5. Reasonably safeguards health by choice of activities, preparation for them, medical ex aminations, safety rules, good equipment and proper supervision. 6. Believes that social relations and attitudes can be developed through intramural participation by upholding high standards of sportsmanship, fair dealings with all individuals and groups, and providing multitudes of opportuni ties for leadership and co-operation. 7. The program should act as a proving ground for the discovery and development of high-class ath letic performers who might fill the gaps left by graduation, or other wise, in our athletic teams. The Rifle team shooting gets underway on October 8, while the Fall track and field meet begins today. All students enrolled in the Uni versity are automatically eligible to enjoy all intramural privileges. Those interested are urged to con tact their house or dorm Intra mural representatives. The Delts, always a power on the turf, was a pre-game favorite and started to prove their super iority by intercepting the first pass thrown by Ron Seymour, Sigma Nu tailback, and running it all tne way, for first blood in the game. The extra point set the Delts up seven points on the 16th street ri val but it. didn't take much time for the" Sigma Nu's to start their scoring machine. Right back they came with Seymour doing the pass ing and Wagner, Wenzland Walk er doing the receiving. Five min utes after the Delt's had hit pay dirt the Sigma Nu's had matched their play. From then on it was the Sigma Nu's to win the game and provide League with a conten der for a champion. Ato's and Sig Ep roll. Gene Suponchiclc, All-University back last year, proved his worth to the Sigma Phi Epsilon team again this year as he passed and ran the Ep's Id a 13-6 victory over the Beta Theta Pi team. The Sig Ep's ran the ball an unusual amount but had no difficulty slip ping by the Beta's. The pass combination of Supon- chick to Pinkston looks like it might be good enough to place the Ep's as another football monarch. The Alpha Tau Omega squad had no trouble whatsoever' sub merging the Sigma Chi team 18-0. The Tau's have an exceptionally big line which they can use to" their best advantage. With Terry True- blood doing the chucking and the other six men on the receiving end the ATO's provide a tough match.' The other games Tuesday eve ning saw the Phi Epsilon Kappa team being beaten by one point. The extra point meant the differ ence in this game as the Navy ROTC boys squeaked by 7-6. Another game that was won by the extra point was on the Ag Cam pus where the Burr B men slipped by the Burr A team also 7-6. Another game played on Ag Cam pus saw the Newman Club men literally club the Wesley seven by a score of 33-6. The only other game between Presby and Alfa Cow Alfa was won by the Alfa boys 1-0 on a forfeit. Phi Delta Theta bounces Kappa Sigma ... Wednesday evening featured two big games, one was the Phi Delt Kappa Sig tilt In which Dick Jac obs passed the R St. boys to a win over the Kappa Sigs 18-12. -Jacobs, Cotreel, and Duffek starred in the Phi Delt win. The other big game of the eve ning was the Phi Psi-Sig Alph game where the Phi Psi's rambled to a 22-6 win over the Alph's. In other games played that eve ning the Delta Upsilon. team lost to the Theta ZTs by one point, 13 12; the Burr D team walloped the Burr- C team, 18-0; and the Pi Kap Phi slipped past the Beta Sigma Psi squad 12-8. Thursday's action found the Brown Palace forfeiting to Pioneer Co-op; Cornhusker Co-op down ing Delta Sigma Phi, 6-0; TKE defeating Theta Chi, 13-0; ZBT winning their game with Aca cia, 6-2; Delta Sigma Pi squeakmg out a 6-0 victory over AGR; Can field edging out Hitchcock 12-6; and Farmhouse defeating AGS 21-12.

Former Greats Hold Reunion In Nashville Two former All-American guards Harry Smith of ibe Mizzou coach ing staff, and Bib Suffrige, one-, time Tennessee great bid a rum Ion in Nashville last weekend when the Tigers met Vanderbilt. A two-time all-American at Sou thern California, Smitty played e?ainst Suffrige in the 1939 Orange Eiwl game, won by U. S C, 14-0. The latter, who played at 185 pounds, has ballooned to 360 -while Smith,-a 217-pound collegian, weighs 238. Suffridge works for a motor car agency and sells insur ance in Nashville. Queried about his family status, c -.fridge revealed that he was the father of four children. "All but three of them are boys," he explained witn a grin. Courtney Quips By DEL RASMUSSEN Football player teaches off tarf . , Because a close friend of mine (dad's billfold) realizes no extra vaganzas he has been forced to channel his personal resources into menial chores for a small pittance each month. This in itself has no bearing on the sports column but to the sparse amount of readers I have I would like to pass on a few of the comments he has overheard at the lunch table of a sorority house where he earns his meager sub sistence. About a week ago it seems as though one of the cuddly creatures at this house was blessed with a date with an athlete on the football squad. All during the hinch period and continuing through the evening meal the sister of the house were trying to brief her on the basic principles of the grid sport. . ........ The biggest difficulty was .however, the more the sisters taught the poor little waif ,the more she had to forget. Her static came from the rules on scoring, kickoffs, punts, and everything else in a footb?'l handbook. After many, many briefing sessions the coed had mastered the point system. "Let's see now, a touchdown is six points, a safety is two points, a point after touchdown is one point and a field goal is three points. Now I'm ready for him." The next day at the dinner table this friend heard the new sports fan discussing her date with a table partner. j "After he tried an end around play I stopped him on the five yard line. The lout tried a few passes but they were blocked. Finally be ! made' a touchdown but missed the point after." j Nebraska once had a winning team Long, long ago the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers did have a winning team. That may seem odd to some sports fans but with j nothing to do but write about Nebraska's last two drubbings at the j hands of Washington State and Army I started thumbing through the j 1940 NEBRASKAN's to read off these reputable feats compiled by those early Husker squads. I came across some of these headlines j during the 1940 Husker grid seasoa. "We Husked the Hoosiers, 13-7 Huskers Smother Jayhawks, 53-2" "Missouri Muzzled, 20-7" "Nebraska Wins, 134" "Huskers Squelch Iowa" "Husker Field Goal Downs Panthers, 9-7" "Nebraska Wins Over Iowa Stsie. 21-12" . "Huskers Beat KU 20-0 in JLt Game" "Valiant Cornhuskers Head West To Roses" These headlines came out of the old papers of 19 when Nebraska held the grid crown throughout the nation. The football squad that went to the Rose Bowl that year consisted entirely if satives from the home state. Now Nebraska must reach to many different states to bring football players for. the team and then they do not seem to be able to provide the Scarlet with a winning team. 'The fault may be in one of many factors or possibly a combination of more than one of such factors as team desire to win, student spirit, coaching faults, facilities, etc. I certainly am not the person to say who or what is at fault for our loss of the winning tradition. Maybe the lucky horseshoe above u dressing room door is no mure. That, among others, could provide a scapegoat for the skpetical fingerpointers. I certairiy do feel, however .that the idle chattr time is over and that t-. time for a winner at the Scarlet school is far past due I would certainly like to be able to print some of the headlines of yore. Who knows, maybe for the rest of the season I can. By RON SHALEEN Staff Sports Writer - Another baseball season is gone and World Series time is almost here again. The '57 series, which will feature the New York Yankees an almost annual participant and the Milwaukee Braves, gets under way Wednesday, October I. The first two games will be played in New York, the following three in Milwaukee, and the final two if needed in New York. , The Yanks, who will be shooting for their eighth world champion ship in ten years, are favored by the Broadway bookmakers to cop the series in six games. Sparked by Tom Sturdivant, Whitey Ford, Bobby Shantz, Bob Turley, and Bob Grim, the Sten gelmen appear to have their best balanced pitching staff since the days of Allie Reynolds, Eddie Lo pat, Vic Raschi and company. Then, there's Don Larsen, who pitched a spectacular perfect game in the series last October and won the outstanding individual perform ance award. Larsen, who appears to be a forgotten man, seems to come to life as the series nears. He pitched several creditable games in the final two weeks of the season. On the basis of these fine pitching performances and his past series record Larsen has been awarded a starting berth in the fourth game. . However, the Yanks may be mi- Message Following Missouri's 7-7 tie with Vanderbilt, Bill Corum sports columnist of the New York Jour nal American and president cf Churchill Downs, wired this mes sage to a newspaper friend in Nashville: "We cornfield beys from along the Big Muddy feal quite elegant to be on equal terms with you rich Vanderbilts. Still, as they say, money isn't everything. After our Tigers clip Oklahoma later this fall, one trusts that you will realise our (Harold) Stirling (Vanderbilt) qualities." nus the services of their two great hitting stars Mickey Mantle and Bill Skowren. Mantle, who rein jured his knee in the latter part of the season, will start the first game, but Casey Stengel is doubt ful as to whether or not he will be able to play in top form the re mainder of the series. Skpwron, an other injury casualty, will not start the first game and will prob ably see limited action in the re maining games. The hopes of the Braves depend upon the performance of their once highly regarded pitching staff. Their staff, which was once the envy of the rest 'of the National League, seemed to have fallen apart in the last six weeks of the season. If the Braves pitching corps, which consists mainly of Warren Spahn, Bob Buhl, Lew Bur- xiette, and Gene Connely, is up to par the Braves should make the week pretty long for the Yanks. The Braves have a solid offen sive attack which is paced by the big bats of Henry Aaron, Red Schoendienst, Eddie Mathews, and Bob Hazle. Hazle, who was a .275 hitter with Wichita, found major league pitching much easier as he whacked the ball at a .408 clip in 39 games. Schoendienst, who was acquired in a mid-season trade, appeared to give the Braves the added spark they needed tc be come a pennant winner. Lefthander Whitey Ford will start in Wednesday's opener for the Yanks and Milwaukee will go with its ace lefthander Warren Spahn.
