Ocf Man Winter Only Winner; NU All-Sports Day Postponed Wintry weather Friday forced a one week postponement of (he All Sports Day at the University of Nebraska, originally scheduled for Saturday. The entire series of exhibitions with the exception of the base ball game will be carried over to April 8, (he Athletic Department announced. The Husker baseballers will be playing at Tulsa on that day.

Brooklyn Defeated 5-1; Cerv, Kucks Lead Yanks 1 1 1 far from complete, but it became apparent Friday night that some good selling jobs were being per formed in those communities. The Bethany Lions have sold 823 tickets and the Havelock Lions and Business Men's Association 759, with about 90 per cent of the Bethany workers and 50 per cent of the Havelock crew checked in. An unexpected boost was given the drive with the sudden increase in box sales, resulting from a tremendous pitch on the parts of the Chiefs' board of directors. Harold Hoppe has a slight lead in the box sales department, but he's getting a fierce battle from A. L.

(Pat) Minier and A. Q. Schimmel. Wagner reported Friday night that over 5,000 box seat tickets had been sold. About 400 option and 80 Plan 1 seats have been sold to date, and Wagner said "it appears that we'll sell out the option seats." There are only 75 of these seats available.

Unquestionably, the sudden cold weather hampered Hie drive and many salesmen who checked in Friday signed for more books and went back out looking for buyers. Many more workers didn't report Friday after informing Wagner that they would check in Saturday. One service club will not check in until Monday. I ntil Monday It was announced Friday that mail and phone orders and orders from persons who have not yet been contacted will be accepted until midnight Monday, March 21). "Considering the weather Is anything but baseball weather, and the fact that this ticket drive Is a new endeavor.

I think the sale has been gqod," Wagner said Friday night. I "I think it's possible for us to hit 40,000 advance sales by the time everything is wound up," he said. Wagner 'asked that as many salesmen as can check in Saturday at the Chamber of Commerce. Rotary took the lead in the down-town service club race Friday by selling 9.067 tickets to date. About 8T per cent of the Rotarian salesmen have checked in.

Howard Linen of Rotary Is tlw apparent individual leader, but his totals were incomplete Friday night. Exchange Club with 60 per -ent of the workers reported) is second with 6,303 tickets sold. Sertoma (50 per cent of workers) is third with I.R0.1 tickets, and the Optimists (40 per cent of workers) are fourth with 1.650 tickets. Trailing in the five-team down-town contest are the Lions with a mere 187 tickets sold, with about 40 per cent of the sellers accounted for. The suburban club returns are Gerald Lee Kroeger, David City senior and a two-year member of the Nebraska Wesleyan University basketball team, was revealed as the first winner of a newly established "Sportsmanship award" a' the annal all-sports banquet Friday night.

Kroeger was presented with a loving cup by Bob Jewett, Beatrice senior and president of Blue Key, men's honorary fraternity which established the award this year. Jewett said Kroeger was chosen from many eligible candidates because of his "conduct on the playing floor, his attitude in regular attendance or practice sessions, and his attitude toward his teammates, opponents, officials and his coaches." Representative "It was the opinion of Blue ey members that amongst the many fine sportsmen on Wesleyan athletic teams the past season, Jerry Kroeger best representee, the high ideals of good sportsmanship," he said. Kroeger was a member of a David City state championship team that the number of box seats sold this year is four times the number sold in 1954. While it is probable the drive will fall some short of the 55,000 goal, it seems likely that nearly tickets will be sold by the conclusion of the pre season sales. And if 40.000 tickets are sold, it will mean that the Chiefs will have sold half the number of tickets sold during the entire 1954 cam paign.

As of Friday night, th fig- ure was about one-third of last year's season total, with more to come, Box Score (Tub Hold Rolarr unit; F.trkanae Hertnnw I (Intimitl 1 llelkaat Mnnt Hi Hatelmk l.lont KM 7.1K I irllrat lew l.lont la; llnnnlima l.lnnt IH7 In 411 llr 'i, 311 4(1 Inl Clara NK Molar No llrnorl lannt Bin tenia Ml J.I. in Tnlalt t.vmil Time For Chiefs salesmen (left to right) Oliver Lahr of the Exchange Club, Roy Baker of the Exchange Club GERALD KROEGER in 1951 and competed during his junior and senior years as a Wesleyan regular.

Some say that booing and other unsportsmanlike attitudes by crowds are 'good I imagine it hurts a bull fighter just as much to be gored by a good-natured bull as by an ill-natured one." Waldorf also took a poke at indiscriminate scholarship programs when he declared that "too rapidly we are acquiring the concept that a man's value to his team is judged by the size of his scholarship."

Baker Scores Over Mederos NEW YORK IM-For 10 rounds, Bob Baker, the 28year-old Pitts burgh heavyweight, tried to measure Julio Mederos, a little-known Cuban, for the knockout punch, but in the end had to be content with an unanimous decision Friday night in Madison Square Gar den. Baker weighed a svelte 209'a, Mederos 19014 There was no mistaking who won the fight, although there were no knockdowns and each battler got off unscarred. Baker, except for the first round when he probed his man, was on the offensive all the way.

Only he never could get in that big punch. Referee Ruby Goldstefn gave it to Baker 9-0 with one even, while Judges Artie Aidala and Jack Gor don had it 8-1-1. The Associated Press gave it to Baker 9-1. Mederos got in most of his points with wild rights which sometimes found their mark on the slow-moving Baker, but never hurt him. Baker kept moving in, in stalking the 22-year-old Cuban who created somewhat of a sensation by, knocking out Roland LaStarza in five rounds at Miami three weeks ago.

But Julie wasn't in the same league with Baker. The only thing that kept him off the canvas was his caeey refusal to step in and slug it out. wnn thp first rnilnri he came 0llt of hjs corner with fire in his eyes and promptly tagged Baker with a sharp left. Baker nodded his head as if to say: "Enough of this, young man," and danced away. He was not trying to get in a solid punch, merely feeling out Mederos.
