SPRING FOOTBALL
The latest spring craze is the proposed football game between Missouri and Nebraska.
It all started when some staff members of the Daily Nebraskan thought such a game would be a fitting climax to the spring training program of the two schools. Sports writers on other Nebraska papers and on Missouri papers have joined the bandwagon which is pushing this out-of-season game.
However, before this prospective game becomes a reality it must have the approval of the Big Six, the sanction of the Nebraska athletic board, and must be accepted by the Missouri athletic board.

COMMENT BY MISSOURIAN
Ed Menninger, Columbia Missouri sports writer, wrote Norris Anderson. Daily Nebraskan sports editor: "If you could manage to secure those three important affirmations, I'm sure the other things could be taken care of collectively if an effort to do so were put forth.
Your suggestions for the game's giving the spring grid candidates some impetus, besides promoting an event for a war cause are well put.
Faurot, head coach at Missouri, said he was eager to play the new lead, going over some of the pitcher field and asking all eight with him.
In addition, it will provide the two schools with a substitute clash in the absence of a baseball game this spring, and is sure to arouse a great deal of enthusiasm among the student bodies, especially in the light of novelty."

TIGERS IN BETTER CONDITION
As far as the respective training condition of the two teams is concerned, the Missouri Tigers are a couple of jumps ahead of the Huskers because their spring training began two weeks earlier. Also, the Huskers haven't been able to drill outdoors before this week.
If such a game is held and the traveling squad of the visiting team is not large enough to seriously hinder transportation, we will go on record as in favor of the game because it will be the last time that many of those boys will play football.
Sooners Meet Cowboys In NCAA Opener Tonight
Kansas City, (INS) — Governing officials reported everything was in readiness for the opening game tonight of the NCAA western basketball playoffs between Oklahoma and Wyoming.
The Sooners, representing the Big Six conference, admit they are up against some stiff competition in playing the Cowboys, champions of the Rocky Mountain conference and the number 3 team of the national AAU tourney recently completed in Denver.
Following the opening game Texas will tangle with Washington tonight. Winners of the second game will play the victorious team of the Oklahoma-Wyoming game. The top team will go to New York next week for the national finals.
To become familiar with the court all four teams went through practice sessions yesterday. They appeared a little nervous as they watched their opponents work out, but they were expected to overcome this by tonight.
8:00 o'clock—Wyoming vs. Oklahoma.
9:30 o'clock - Washington vs. Tex.

Farmers Move West To Relieve Shortage Of Labor in Oregon
Dallas, Tex., (INS) — A train load of 250 farm families, recruited from southeast Oklahoma and northeast Texas is scheduled to start from Hugo, Okla., Saturday for Oregon and other western points in dire need of farm labor, the regional office of the Farm Security Administration announced yesterday.
The recruits are volunteers, and care is being exercised not to deplete the local labor supply to the extent that sections from which the recruits leave, will have to import labor, the representatives of the FSA said.
Swim Meet Finals Were Swum Today
Sig Alph's Play Navy For Title
The championship of the Lawrence Community Basketball League will be decided tonight when the Naval Training School Blue Jackets meet the Sigma Alpha Epsilon quintet in the final playoff game at 8:30 o'clock on the Community building court.
Both of these teams have come through the league round
Navy----53
A consolation game to decide third place in the league will precede the final game, starting at 7:30, and will bring together the Draftees and the Haskell five.
Both of these teams have a robin with but one defeat. In the semi-finals played last night Navy defeated the Draftees, 53 to 32, and the Sig Alph's downed Haskell, 52 to 31, to entitle them to meet in the championship playoff. Draftees Play Haskell
In the second semi-final contest the Sig Alph's easily defeated the Haskell Indians, 52 to 31. Taking the lead shortly after the opening whistle, the collegians steadily piled up their advantage to shadow the Indians 18 to 5 at the half. Haskell began to find the basket range in the second half but failed to catch their opponents.

In the opening semi-final contest last night Navy was hard pressed to take the measure of the Drafttees with both teams exchanging baskets evenly at the beginning of the game. About midway in the first period Navy forged ahead to make their advantage at halftime, 30 to 17. From that point on it was the Navy's game all the way with the Drafttees never seriously threatening.
