RHODES NAMED
AS GRID COACH
Former Cornhusker Backfield
Star To Be in Charge of
Yearlings
WEIR MAY BE ON STAFF
John "Choppy Rhodes, backfield
star on the Husker football team last
season will coach the Freshman grid
team at Nebraska next fall, it was
stated at the athletic department of
the University, yesterday. He is also
expected to assist Coach Sehulte in
track and in that case, he will fill
the position of a full-time coach.
Some plans have been made to get
Ed Weir, Nebraska's all-American
tackle to join the coaching staff, but
no definite announcement of the con
tract has been made.
Rhodes was twice selected as all
Valley backfield man and did most
of the ba'l-carrying last season. He
distinguished himself throughout the
season by his consistant plunging
and ground-gaining.
Due to his versatality, Rhodes is
well prepared to hold the position of
assistant coach in track as well as
in football. "Choppy" is competing
in track this season and will go to the
Illinois relays where last year, he
placed second in the all-round cham
pionship events. Since he is com
peting in tiack now, he will be ineli
gible as freshman track coach this i
spring.
Bears May Coach Only Football
Coach Bearg will call out his squad
of Huskers early in March, not how
ever, until the present cage season
has closed. At present Bearg is tied
up with both the basketball and
the football teams. It is the plan of
the athletic department to give thij
head coach a chance to devote all of
his time to football next year. This
is also the desire of Bearg, so that he
can devote his entire time to the de
velopment of a great football team
beginning his work with an extensive
program of spring football.
The conflict of these two sports
make it impossible to give the right
amount of training to either of them,
thus crippling the teams by a delay
in their organization. With the
chance of displaying his system 'of
coaching on a new squad and taking
them all through the season, Bearg
should be able to construct a strong
team for the next season.

"Zim" and "Zim"
Nebraska basketball fans are won
dering how come that the Kansas
University quintet has lost two
games this season. The team that
Coach "Phog" Allen presented to
Husker fans last Saturday night was
by far one of the fastest ever to
grace a Nebraska floor.
Tbe Kansas squad bad ererything
that (Oct to make a finished basket
ball team. la size tbe mea would
average si feet or better. They had
speed and above all basket-shooting
ability.
The Nebraska team is not out of
the running yet for the conference
championship, although their chances
are somewhat diminished. Oklaho
ma has several hard games yet to
play and a defeat in any of these
would place the Huskers back in first
plice.
Three Hasher football star turned
down professional gridiron offers the
other day. As a matter of fact,
these three men, Hutchinsoa, Cap
tain Weir and Rhodes hare been con
sistently rejecting neat sums of mon
ey since the end of the football sea
son. The man who successfully passes
up the glitter of the pro-gold can
find a greater future than could ever
be given him through the paid game.
Coaching is one field cf activity and
two of these Husker rtan will take
up their work in that field this falL
On the face of it, that nil looks
welL It seem to opea the doors to
easy street immediately for the chap
who accepts big money for his phy
sical prowess. But there is no easy
money. A maa must pay the price
erne place, as Grange for example
has done through the constant raz
zing by the public
The professional career in which a
man is paid for his efforts is short
at beat. Jim Thorpe, grea st ath
lete of all time, though an Indian
with all tbe sturdy qualities of tbe
irace, has for the past several years
been only able to exist. Profession
jal football cuts a man off from any
other possible pursuit in the line of
j athletics and gives him no opportun
ity to follow another business.
Tbe place for football is in the
colleges. There is no legitimate ex
cuse for the professional game
rootDaii bat its mission in building
a man physically, as many men as
possible. The professional game is
for the select- As a game, played
for the sake of the sport from the
standpoint of the athlete and the
crowd, it has its mission. These mis
sions are handled more effectively
in the universities of the nations than
they could ever be taken care of by
the professional game.
These three athletes have been
forced to work their way through
school, paying all or at least part of
their expenses from their own earn
ings. To them, the sight of money
must have been a keen temptation,
j and the average outsider discussing
i the situation no doubt would point
i out that a man is foolish for not cash
ing in on the athletic reputation ob
tained in college.
And when the names of Grange,
Wilson and tbe others have long been
forgotten, the living personalities of
these Huskers may be found c
stantly before the world, just as the
names of Yost, Stagg, and Eckersall
stand out today while the great I
dian, Thorpe, is all but forgo ten,
though he struggled gamely against
oblivion just as the Indian race has
fought against extinction.
