Coach Hank Iba's Okla homa State Cowboys are fifth in the Big 8, owning a 3-3 mark. The ball-control mind ed Cowboys are the leading defensive team in the league and one of the top defensive squads in the nation.

Peoria, lliinoi Practice Underway For NU Baseball Calhoun Sidelines Scribe by dave calhoun Although the smester break was greatly appreciated it caused this writer a certain amount of woe, the first time he walked into the office. I have always been told if a news story isn't recent, don't bother with it I don't think this is the case, however, in the field of University athletics. A lot has happened since the last Issue of first semes ter's Rag came out and I think somewhere on this page some credit should be given to these athletes. After Monday night's explosive victory over Missouri, the cloud of gloom that has been floating around the Coli seum since mid December has unaiiy lifted. Coach Jerry Bush's boys provided a lot of excitement for Husker fans, particu larly during the final half. Many Nebraska followers are willing to forget the game with Colorado last Sat urday night. Although the Huskers blew their extensive lead in the final minutes, there were a couple of things that hap pened during the first half, that hadn't happened all year. For one thine, the Huskers were re bounding ... all of them at the same time. The Nebraskans were np against some fairly tall boys, led by Buff Center Roger Voss a 6-7 sophomore. Nebraska's big sophomore, 6-9 Al Buuck, caught fire during this same period. Buuck had acted reluctant to fight regularly for the rebounds prior to this game, but he forgot all about this Saturday night. Buuck has seen how it is to scrap for the ball and evi dently likes it His actions against Missouri continued to improve, as he netted 13 points against the Tigers. The fans have tasted victory and they like it Other winter sports were also busy during the vacation. The wrestlers, still looking for their first victory of the season, ran np against some pretty tough competition in Kansas State. Although the grapplers won one event by forfeit It was once again the muscular Jim Raschae who gained the varsity points. By the way, the wrestlers will face off against the Air Force Academy Friday afternoon at the Coliseum. I'm sure the team would appreciate it if some of you fans would drop in. The swimming team downed Pittsburgh Kansas and fell to the hands of Oklahoma during the vacation. In chalking up their ninth straight victory, the Sooner swim mers held the Busker's to only one second' place, by Joe Stocker in the 200 yard breast stroke. The NU swimmers were void of first place positions and failed to win either of the relay events. The meet against Pittsburgh was another story. Al though no records were set Nebraska picked five first place positions and grabbed the honors in the 400 yard medley relay. Last and certainly not least on the winter sports scene is the gymnastics team. Of all the sports, only the gym nasts are undefeated. During the break they took on Fort Hays, Kansas, and scored an overwhelming victory, 8323. Virgil Kubert paced the gymnasts with firsts in" the high bar and the parallel bars. Fort Hays had to settle for only one first place, in the rebound tumbling. Totirnameiit Deadline Set The Nebraska Union will hold two tournaments this weekend according to Bar ney Bauermeister, chairman of the Union Games Com mittee, sponsors of the local tourneys.

For the first week the base ballers will confine their ac uities to weight training, cal isthenics and pepper games. As the physical condition of the players improves and the weather gets better, the team will step up training, accord ing to Gail Dunne, former Husker infielder who is aiding Coach Tony Sharpe. Dunne explained that the weight training was a method used to stretch the muscles in the legs and shoulders. The cominbation of this and calis thenics is used throughout the season in order to insure top physical condition. The squad will be divided into two platoons and will work in the7 weight room on alternate days, Dunne said. "Since the pitchers will need more condition, their group will work Monday, Wednes day and Friday, while the other group will work on the weights on Tuesday and Fri day," he added.

Looking over the prospects Coach Sharpe said, "we have a young team coming back from last year and some promising potential material coming up this year."

Oklahoma State is the de fending NCAA champions.

APPAREL OFT PROCLAIMS THE MAN The hounds of spring are on winter's traces. Soon we will be shedding our mnkluks and union suits and putting on our spring finery. And what does Dame Fashion decree for the com ing season? (Dame Fashion, incidentally, is sot, as many people believe, a fictitious character. She was a real Englishwoman who lived in Elizabethan times and, indeed, England is greatly in her debt. During the invasion of the Spanish Armada, Dame Fashion not yet a Dame but a mere, unlettered country lass named Becky Sharp during the invasion, I say, of the Spanish Armada, this dauntless girl stood on the white cliffs of Dover and turned the tide of battle by rallying the sagging morale of the British fleet with thk staring poem of her own oooipoaitici Don't be oviiem. Men of Britain. Swing your enilats. We ain't quittin'. Smash the Spaxiik, Sink their boat. Make 'em vanish, Like a horte make oat. For Good Queen Be, Good irt, yam gotta Make a me Of that Armada. You won't fail! Knock 'em flat! Then ve il drink aU And stuff like that. As a reward for these inspirational verses Queen Elisabeth dubbed her a Dame, made her poet laureate, and gave her the Western Hemisphere except Duluth. But this was not the ex tent of Dame Fashion's services to queen and country. In 1589 she invented the egg. In 1590, alas, she was arrested for poach ing and imprisoned for thirty years in a butt of malmsey. Thii later became known as Guy Fawkes Day). But-I digress. Let us get back to spring fashions. Certain to be popular again this year is the cardigan (which, curiously enough, was named after Lord Cardigan, who com manded the English fleet against the Spanish Armada. The sweater is only one product of this fertile Briton's imagination. He also invented the b&U-psen hammer, the gerund, and the molar, without which chewing, aa we know it today, would not be possible). But I digress. The cardigan, I say, will be back, which a cause for rejoicing. Why? Because the cardigan has nice big pockets in which to carry your Marlboro Cigarettes-and that, good buddies, is ample reason for celebration. Do you think flavor went out when filters came in? If so, you've got another smoke coming. I mean Marlboros all the rich, smooth flavor of prime tobaccos plus a filter that really filters. So slip bto your cardigan and hie yourself to your tobacconist for soma good Marlboros. They come in soft pack or flip-top box. Card, gang come in pink for girls and blue for boys. i you're a fitter tmoker, try Marlboro, tt yotfr a no. tdttr tmoker, try Philip Morris.
