THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
BLACK'S SQUAD
SHOWS PROMISE
Basketball Candidates Drilled
On Fundamentals; Veterans
Form Nucleus
Coach Charley Black's basketball
squad spent Tuesday afternoon's
practice session in a lengthy drill on
fundamental. Approximately twen
fv.ftya cndidst?? for berths on the
regular squad turned out and showed
fine promise for a Cornhusker quin
tet of note.
Scrimmage has been ' barred by
Coach BlAck thus far, but he plans
to begin action in a short time. The
quantity and proficiency of the ma
terial already at hand, disregarding
the absence of regulars out for foot
ball, points to big things for the
1927-28 season.
Competition Is Strong
Elliott, Olson, and Othmer com
prise the total of veterans. They are
rounding into form rapidly.
Ralph Beuchner, former Lincoln
high school star and yearling regular,
is suited up for a guard position.
Buechner should present lots of op
position for anyone desiring a simi
lar berth.
Thursday afternoon, the squad will
hold another practice on the Coliseum
court. A list of the candidates re
porting to Coach Black follows: Cap
tain Tom Elliott, West Point; "Ken
ny" Othmer, Omaha; Bob Krall,
Grand Island; Tom Thompson, Til
den; William Nicholson, St, Paul;
Harold Halbcison, Litchfield I Cy
Yordy, Lincoln; Pete Mileski, War
land, Wyoming; BUI Ungles, Lincoln;
Bryant Holmes, Leoti, Kansas; Ed
Armstrong, St Paul; Ralph Beuch
ner, Lincoln; Leon Wondra, Weston;
C W. Olson, Lincoln; Harry John
son, Omaha; Paul Mitchell, Omaha;
Dick Peterson, Genoa. '
will not pi to before the tackle U
made. "Bad" McBrido is getting
long fairly well in this phase of the
jpigskin pastime but has a lot of room
for improvement.
The Kansas Jayhawkers are still
stinging with the defeat the Kansas
Aggies handed them on the Kansas
field last Saturday. For four years
the Bachman crew has subdued the
K. U. outfit and it seems to be a tra
dition now that Kansas has beaten
the Purple eleven for the last time.
The Aggie-Jayhawker game is the
hardest fought battle for both
both schools. The fight for football
supremacy in Kansas between the
iwo largest Kansas schools never fails
to draw the largest crowds at either
of the stadiums.

Coach Ernest Beerg, head football
mentor at .Nebraska will take advan
tage of this Saturday's layoff and go
to Syracuse to watch the opponent
of the Nebraska Huskers for next
Saturday in action against the Penn
State eleven. Coach Oakes will also
view one of the Husker's opponents
in action when the Pitt Panthers
meet the Allegheny eleven at Pitts
burgh. The Panthers are rated as
one of the strongest elevens in the
east and football critics are looking

f the most successful seasons in re
cent years.

"Did you ever see a. man go like
the Preeaell boy goes?" That's what
the small crowd of Husker fans said
as they watched Glenn Presnell
brushing up on bis ball lugging on
Stadium field last night. Presnell was
giving two tackles the opportunity of
stopping him within a distance of ten
yards. Needless to say what tho out
come was for tho Dewitt youth
would elude tho charging arms and
hands of the pair of tackles nearly
every time. He has a pivot, side step
and change of pace that is discourag
ing to tho men on the defense. "If
Zeigfield could seo you now yo
wMud ho in the follies" was tho way
Coach Ernest Bearg expressed it af
ter Presnell had worked out for thirty
minutes dancing around tho tackles
and shaking loose of tho tackles that
would have been good on any other
backf ietd man.
This pivot and twisting is one of
tho most important things in football
today and no coach can hand it out
to his players. They have to learn it
themselves and tine it so that they
Nebraska's cross-country squad is
working out steadily for their dual
meet Saturday at Manhattan with the
Kansas Aggies, conference cham
pions of last year.
The three Husker ve:;rans, Cap
tain Glen Johnson, Chaddardon, and
Sprague look mighty fine. All three
clipped the course record in last
week's trials. Kibble, who beat Batie
out of a place op the team, will be
running in his first intercollegiate
race Saturday. The other two mem
bers of the team will be Cummings
and Griffen vho ran against Miss
ouri. Husker fars are worrying Jess
about the cross -couutry prospects
than usual due to the large number
cf available substitutes. Batie, Eth
erton, or Janulewicz could step in
any time and run right along with
the six men on the ci'im Last year,
the Huskers Had a hard time finding
six men who cou J run when Johnson
was ineligible. A fine I rest man
squad from last yar put three men
in the running and several of last
year's substitutes are doing better
time this year than the varsity time
last year.

The N club scholarship awards
have been made for the year 1928-27
and the high schools will receive the
awards soon. The results this first
year have been very satisfactory and
this contest should do much to elim
inate the athlete who is lazy scholas
tically, for there is no reason why
the good athlete should not be a
high class student, according to the
athletic committee.
The N Club's object is to make
athletic ability go hand in hand with
scholarship. They believe that the
man who has the courage and coor
dination to play any of the great
games successfully should by the
same attributes be an outstanding
student.
Winners Announced
Thirty-six schools reported grades.
The winners in Group I were Bene
dict, Bertrand, and Dix Rural; in
Group II were Arnold, Neligh and
Wood River; Group III, Alliance,
Norfolk, and Hastings. The Honor
Roll has in Group i Dodge, Hender
son, Indianola, Odell, and Wakefield;
and in Group II, Ashland, Exeter,
Milford and Stanton.
The groups are divided according
to the number of pupils enrolled in
the school. Group I is for schools of
one hundred or less students, Group
II, one hundred to three hundred,
and Group III has three hundred or
over.
Nebraska Huskers are not known
just in the middle west or in the east
for the prowess in the pigskin sport
but the news of the Nebraskans
reaches out to the lar corners of the
globe.
The sports staff of the Nebraskan
received a clipping yesterday from
the Honolulu Star-Bulletin dated
October (5 in which a news item on
Captain "Jug" Brown was given. It
was listed under College Captains
for 1927.
Youthful Dream Realized
"It's the realization of a youthful
dream, the captaining of the Ne
braska football team this year by
Johnny "Jug" Brown.
"Ever since Johnny was big
enough to crawl over a fence, he has
been around the university stadium.
Living close to the stadium, athlet
ics, especially football, were second
nature to him.
"And during those fence-climbing
days as a tot, Johnny built his castle
of some day captaining the Nebraska
football team. His dream came true
last year when Johnny, despite a
somewhat poor year because of a
weak knee, was elected to captain
the Cornhuskers of 1927.
Quarterback Is Shifty Player
"Brown, as a quarterback, will do
all the punting and passing for the
team, will play safety, and also do
a bit of running with the ball. He's
shifty, very fast and weighs 170
pounds.
