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

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.

- 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.
