LYMAN RETURNS 10 NEBRASKA AS GRID LINE COACH Former Husker Tackle Will Help Schulte Produce Forward Wall. GREATEST PRO PLAYER 'Link' Takes Place on Staff As Addition to Husker Instructors. Roy Lyman, considered the greatest tackle in pro football today and one of the greatest linemen ever to don the Sear let and Cream mofeskins, will return to the site of his college tri umphs on the gridiron as a coacn next fall. Lyman, known to the sporting world as "Link," will take his place on the Husker coaching staff as assistant line Instructor next spring for the yearly spring session. Rumors of the possibility of his signing a contract with the Huskers have been thickly pro pounded in sporting circles, but nothing definite was known until Saturday when word of his actual acceptance of a Cornhusker coach ing contract was received. Just turning his thirty-sixth milestone in year, Lyman, during the 1934 season played profes sional football with the Chicago Bears, and was selected on the All America pro team as the out standing lineman of the year, a distinctive honor he has enjoyed for the last three seasons. His professional career has been a long one, starting in 1922 after his graduation from Nebraska. The first eleven to gain his serv ices was the Detroit Bulldogs. After two years with them he graduated to the Cleveland team from which, in 1926 he was taken by the Chicago Bears, since to be come the most valued cog in the forward wall of that mighty team. He signified during the season that this was to be his last in pro fessional circles .and made known that ,ha . wqa willing- to sign a coaching contract with Nebraska if one were forthcoming. In addi tion, he was considered for the head coaching job at Missouri and for several important assistant posts in the east. Coming to Nebraska with no high school experience, Lyman showed his adaptability as a line man during his frosh year, and as a sophomore started every game for the Scarlet. He played tackle on the 1918, 1919 and 1921 Hus ker elevens, and was chosen on many of the college All Americans selected during that period. As a Scarlet performer, he is one of the outstanding examples of great tackles for which Nebraska has been noted in the past .and is mentioned as the greatest by many Nebraska followers and critics. Lyman is not to supplant anyone on the Husker coaching staff, Athletic Director Bible pointed out, but will be an addition to the present group. He will confine most of his activities to dealing with linemen, assisting Coach Schulte in this respect. As a football player, Lyman has participated In 280 games all told, including college and profes sional competition, considered a world record for an individual athlete .

Prairie Schooner Christmas budget epigram contest will close on s;hedule, at 1 o'clock Monday, Dec. 17, according to Prof. L. C. Wimberly, Schooner editor. Prof. Wimberly declared that although a great many slogan writers have submitted their ideas in the hope of $7.50 in dividends, he still ex pects a great many more mottos to reach the office before the dead line of the contest. The rules under which the com petition is being conducted are that the slogans contain not more than six words nor the word "lit erary." No limitation is placed on the number of slogans that each person may submit and the slogans may be mailed to the magazine's office in Andrews hall or presented there in person. No statement as to the desired content of the -slogan has been made throughout the contest, be cause the staff is in the hopes of getting an epigram dealing with some fresh angle of the Schooner's merits, the editor stated. He said, however, that the Schooner is a first class fiction publication, whose readers and contributors are from all classes and locations. The word literary has been banned be cause It signifies a too-sophisticated subject matter to many read ers, he explained. According to H. P. Behlen, busi ness manager, the winning slogan will be used strictly for advertis ing purposes in the campaign that is being carried on to popularize the magazine. The slogan, which will be chosen by members of Sigma Upsilon, national literary fraternity, is to be introduced on the campus on a facsimile of the Schooner cover bearing the motto and the name of the author. It will also be used on posters, letter heads, and for other publicity pur poses, he stated. Senator to Introduce Bill Compelling University to Accept Bids. A bill making it compulsory for the university to receive competi tive bids and accept the highest for broadcasting football games next fall will be Introduced at the forthcoming legislative session by State Senator W. C. Bullard ac cording to word received from Mc Cook, the senator's home. Bullard declared that during the past two seasons when broadcasts of play by play reports of games have been prohibited, there has been considerable resentment In that section of the state. "The citi zens of the state who support the university with taxes are entitled to the broadcasts, while the ath letic department is entitled to every cent It can get out of broad casts which generally advertise some private firm," the senator de clared. A passive attitude is to be main tained by the university athletic department in face of the impend ing legislation, it was stated by John K. Selleck, business manager of student activities and athletics. Selleck explained that during the three years which Nebraska baa had a bah on broadcasts of games the attendance has convinced ath letic heads that the move was strategically Bound. "Athletics at Nebraska receive not one cent of tax revenue," Sel leck declared. "Revenue from foot ball is the chief source of funds from which all sports of the school are supported." It was further stated by Selleck that in addition to the moebtary considerations Nebraska has frowned on broadcasts because of the belief that such broadcasts are undesirable. "We have found that play by play broadcasts do not give a true picture of what la go ing on la football games," he said. ONE DAY R E Addition of Four Organized Houses Swells Honor Roll to 20.
