The Daily Nebraskan Friday, May 6, 1965 Page 4 t . -1 eporter Notes Sports Shorts Surveying various sports around the Lincoln area, our pinkeyed reporter (he's been drinking rather heavily late ly) came upon some very un usual sports record holders. First on the list of inter viewees for the most unusual record was Shelley Booker, holder of the endurance rec ord for pinball machines. After inserting only one quarter, Shelley played con tinuous pinball for 11 hours and 43 minutes at the Bar. Mr.. Booker seemed somewhat shaken after his tremendous feat (he wears a 12 D) and was only able to mumble "I tilted 17 straight games, sev enteen straight games . . ." The next interview was with D. W. 'Chooey' Wrigley who claims to hold the record for the most sticks of gum being chewed at one time. In addi tion to this record Chooey al so collected the most football trading cards and double bub ble fortunes in the shortest period of time. Mr. Wrigley was chewing 157 sticks of gum at the time of the interview and seemed to be suffering from jaw fa tigue. His only comment to our re porter was 'Mmmmmm. It seems someone substituted some caramel for some of the chewing gun. Our best wishes stay with 'Chooey' who as we left was still trying to yawn without success. The next visit of our roving reporter lit is mostly his hands that rove when ha's off the job) was with 'Wrinkles' McDonald. Wrinkles claims to hold the world's record for staying under a shower the longest having been under the water for 31 days and 14 hours at the time of our inter view. Mr. McDonald did not seem to have suffered too many ill effects except that he said he had lost 43 pounds. His body appeared to be all shriveled up and our keen-eyed (when they're not blurred) reporter decided he was the first per son in history to suffer from dishpan body. 'Wrinkles' only complaint was that all of his food seemed to taste watery and that his ivory soap no longer floated. A quick deduction by our reporter figured that Mr. McDonald was 4M years ahead on chasers. Good luck 'Wrinkles!' Mares' Draftees To Enroll At NU Three draftees of the Chica go Mares of the National Foot ball League have announced that they will break their con tracts and enroll at the Uni versity of Nebraska next fall. NFL Commissioner Pete Moss said early this week that the three players had not yet received any money from the Mares and that as far as be knew it would probably be all right if the players enrolled at Nebraska. "I -don't know for sure though," added Moss, "I only work here you know." The three players are Albert Dickens (316), Gary Brickbat (278), and Clyde Fatman (401 All three have indicated they would like to play football at Nebraska, even though Mare coach George Malice is vio lently opposed to the move. Nebraska Coach Hob DeNail said Wednesday that the three men would make a sizeable contribution to his team. "We're very happy that they have decided to enroll at Ne braska, and we will do every thing in our power to make their stay here as enjoyable as possible," DeNail said. "We're always happy when young men decide they would like to play football for Ne braska," DeNail continued. "Brickbat is a little small, but we'll give him plenty of Ne braska beef and see if we can't get his weight up. Dickens and Fatman carry the kind of weight we like to have on our team." Of the three players, only Fatman is not a high school drop-out. Said Fatman, "I never had much occasion for school so I never went. I read good anyway, but now that I'm coming to Nebraska I'll have to get to know how to study and stuff. I think playing ball in an in tellectual place like Nebraska will be much better than play ing for some pro team who don't give a darn about the finer points of life." te a Date for UNION BOWLING Ideal for Group Reservations Week ends MEBHASICA UNION W4M DOORS OPEN 12:45 STARTS TODAY f m0 rftH pff rjriP!

Exit Mask Loses Leg Professor Exit Mask, direc tor of Nebraska's Quitters College, lost his right leg Wednesday while playing soc cer at the annual Quitters spring picnic. Mask, now in student health, told the Pink Eye that he lost his leg while attempting to make a goal from approx imately 60 yards away from the net. "I took a vicious kick at the ball, but missed," said Mask, "That's the last I saw of my right leg." There were reports early Thursday that a leg had been spotted lodged in the top of one of the trees tiiat border the field where the soccer game had been played. It was later learned, however, that the leg had been there for two months and that it was not Mask's. "I've grown attached to that leg," lamented Mask. "I don't know how I'll get along without it," He said as he handed in his resignation. Groan Hurt; Team Quits Nebraska track coach Dink Revine said Thursday that NU's world record holding sprinter, Harley Groan, will definitely miss the upcoming Big Eight track meet because of a head injury he sustained in practice Wednesday. Groan ran into a concrete pillar which has been erected in the middle of the track to support the new addition to Memorial Stadium. In addition to the head in jury, Groan also re-aggri-vated a "charlie horse" which has been plaguing him all year. "I couldn't see the pillar because of these sun glasses my publicity man makes me wear," said Groan, "I wish they'd just let me live the kind of life I want to live. Deep inside I'm a shy, introverted type of guy." With Groan missing from the squad Revine said that he would probably withdraw his team from the Big Eight meet. "We can't go down there without Harley," Re vine said. Revine stated that most of his team had already turned in their spikes. ' -iff v,v mm, A ? '( i '':- I Miss Diane Fox . . . NU's new pom pom leader. Pom Pom Girls Read Nebraskan Want Ads The new pom pom girls for next year were announced today after extensive sur veilance by Jack Tire, Univer sity gymnastics coach. Heading the squad will be Diane Fox of Sigma Epsilon Chi sorority. In a post-selection interview, Miss Fox said she thought school spirits could be increased by dis tributing two and one half quarts of cherry vodka to each fan before games. Retiring Yell King I. C. Gleam said he hoped that next years squad would be able to attend at least two basketball games. "I've always liked basketball games real well," said Gleam. The new Yell King, Jack Faster, agreed that Gleam would be difficult to replace, but cited his own fine per sonality as a definite asset to the squad. "I think I'm a real swell guy," said Faster. , Under the persistent pressure applied by the Mr Nebraska Business Staff the following adversers have shown uncommon valor and loyalty to the .m.r.
