SPRING WORKOUTS
REVEAL POWERFUL
ELEVEN IN WING
Weight, Fleetl'ootedness Point to Successful Season
This Fall; Tackles Heavier, Guards Faster,
Triple Threatinen Abundant.
Of the flowers that bloom in the spring probably more
budded out on Memorial stadium sod this spring than ever
before. During the past five weeks of sweat producing drills
the Cornhusker coaching staff has done more than the original
intentions of instigating fundamentals in the minds of the
green. It has given a better tnanu-
average number of potential grld
iters to leaf out In their full glory,
much to the joy of the men at the
helm of Nebraska's football Bhip.
It has erven all the lads a feeling
of experience that is vital to any
man who lines up on a kickoff
next fall. It has proved to the
Husker grid world in general that
there is more weigni ana neet
footedness warranting more vie
tories than for many a year.
During the campaign four scrinv
mages were staged, each success
niv one havlne more of the vet
eran complex. In the season's fi
nale the Re.1s, which are supposed
ly an eleven man preview of next
fall's Husker play, stampeded both
the Whites and Blues 44 to 0. The
only department in which the
young Biblemen were weak was
extra pointing. Even Virgil Yel
kln, who two years ago booted a
rapidly fading game from the
mire in Lawrence, was unable to
c-et anv Dedal control. Three sur
plus tallies have been made In the
four skirmishes, two from place
ment and one on a pass.
Surplus of Ends.
As for a few general statements
we might say that tackles are
bulkier than they have been since
mustache cups were part of th
dressing room equipment, guards
are srettine faster ana more ag
gressive, and triple threatmen
more abundant. Underclassmen
make next fall roster a most prom
ising affair. Ends are in a sur
dIus.
On the flanks we find Les Mcr
Donald, a senior of whom every
one knows; Yelkin and Mercler,
two more seniors; Richardson,
Dohrmann and Amen, juniors;
nlus Llovd Grimm and Ernie
Smith, sophomores. Probably the
cream of this capacity rosier is
Yelkin, Dohrmann, McDonald, and
Richardson. It Is hard to name
the starting oair next year, but
the commonest guess is McDon-
aid and Yelkin. with Dohrmann
rapping hard upon the door,
v Tackles are many and well sea
soned. There is first of all Fred
Shlrev. iunior. who looks about as
well as anyone. Jack Ellis, other
regular of 1935, is now at the
mercy of scholastic decisions, but
will no doubt be on deck for the
starting whistle when the leaves
fall next year. Sam Schwartzkopf,
a sophomore, might by the mid
dle of next season snove some ae
serving tackle out of employment
should he continue hia rapid move
ment. From Curtis comes big Tea
Doyle who shows a shade of Im
provement each week. Two sopho
mores with 200 pound burdens ar
Bob Mills and Jack Hutcherson,
The heaviest man of the entire
outlay is Vernon Ncprud at 245,
who in spite of his cargo is fast.
In the same division is Bob Elliott.
Still one more sophomore tackle
. Is Kolyne Boschult of Nlckerson.
Guards Fleet, Scrappy.
During all four of the little prac
tice scraps Mehrlng and McGln
nis played the starting guards,
hut pressing them always was Gus
Peters, restricted to the sidelines
during the last two because of a
sprained ankle sustained in tha
second. McGinnis is a senior, while
Peters and Mehrlng are juniors.
None are especially husky, McGin
nis being the heaviest, but all are
fleet, alert, and scrappy. George
Seeman, originally an end, has
shown more ability for a first year
man at the inside spot than any
one in the field. He would not be
at all inconguous on the starting
combination. Then there is a 200
pound Vic Struve, a sophomore,
with plenty of fight.
Two more noteworthy candi
dates are Perry Franks and Bill
Doherty, both massive. Lowell
English, varsity man of last sea
son, is a guard by trade, but in
the absence of Johnny Williams,
Coach Lyman Is grooming him for
the bandy man's job. At present
he Is almost entrenched In a fuard
birth.
Brock Shines.
Much has already been said con
cerning the boy wonder of Co
lumbus Charley Brock. Brock U
expected to stand out like a pea
cock on a chicken farm and this
he has done to the best of his
ability. He has the makings of
another Ely or Meier should he
develop a mite more on the de
fense. Second to him only by a
notch is Bob Ramey, also a sopho
more. Ramey is tall, heavy, a top
notch pass defender, and best at
backing up the line. Here again

"LADY IN SCARLET"
(Uglnald Dnny Pttrlcia Frr
t
Enirlish figures in. but he will
probably be displaced by either of
the above. Lacking in nothing ex
cept weight is Bob Ray.
Many have been wondering who
would quarter back the new eleven
other than the barber shop quar
tets of Monday mornings. First of
all there is Johnny Howell, under
study of last year s signal barking
duties. Should he be forced to the
chalk lines there are five others in
line to substitute: Bill Andreson,
Art Ball, Thurston Phelps, and
Ernie White. Playing the position
on the whole, but not calling plays
will be Wild Bill Callihan, one of
the best plungers jof the squad.
None of the bunch are seniors.
Howell and Ball are juniors. The
rest sophomores.
Andreson Shows Promise.
The half back list includes Jack
Dodd. Marvin Plock, Lloyd Card-
well, Harris Andrews, and Bob
Morris. Little need be said con
cerning Cardy and Dodd. Plock
looks like a Wisner flash II and
Andrews is about the fastest and
trickiest thing In moleskins. Mor
ris is tough and fleet.
Sam Francis and Ron Douglas,
both vets, are still with us and
added to their number of high
caliber triple threaters is Bill An
dreson, standout of the spring
drills. Bill, like English, is being
groomed for a utility man.
No tougher assignment could be
given a sports writer than to name
the first eleven of next year's
Cornhuskers, but here is ours:
Yelkin and McDonald, ends; El
lis and Shlrey, tackles; Peters and
Mehrlng, guards; Brock, center;
Howell, quarter; Douglas and
Cardwell, halves; and Francis, full.
With a lineup like this there are
still such worthy men on the
bench as Dohrmann, Amen, Rich
ardson, Doyle, Schwartzkopf, See
man, McGinnis, Ramey, Dodd, An
dreson, and Andrews.
Sept. 10 will mark the opening
of next fall's grid activities fol
lowed the 26 by a game with the
frosh, after which comes the Iowa
State mix here.
SPEAKING OF
! SPORTS
3
With the close of the spring
football season comes the time to
make predictions for next fall. As
it looks to these aged eyes Ne
braska has a perfect set-up for
the coming campaign. With a
great amount of A-l material that
has shown all the power deception,
and love of the game that a coach
likes to see, the squad that drilled
for five weeks this spring appears
to be the class of many years. At
first the fear of a weak center of
the line kept one guessing as to
how the line was going to hold up
to the expected strength of the
backfield. It didn't take long to
see that there was one worry to
be dispelled. With Mehring and
McGinnis holding down the post
so far, and great material in See
mann and Peters there is little to
worry about in the guard hold. As
for the center post Brock, English,
and Ramey have the situation well
In hand. English, a great passer,
a wizard on the defense, and a
good ee for the enemies' plays,
has been hampered by a sprained
ankle that has kept him out of the
play for most of the spring ses
sion. The tackles and ends are tak
ing care of themselves very well.
The backfield is consideied to be
top class as it stands now, even
wilhout the addition of Francis
and Cardwell. Yes, all in all, the
outlook a very promising,
Speaking of football, why Is
It that everyone thinks all the
"pointing" that will be done next
year will be for Minnesota and
Pittsburgh. How about Oregon
State 7 You remember, that
team that came out of the west
to give the Huskers such a scare
last Thanksgiving day. Well,
don't forget them. They have a
lot of veterans back next year
among whom you might recall
"Slinking Joe" Gray, the boy
that would drift up to the line,
slink through like a movie hero
ine, and then light out like a
house afire down the field. We
will have to play Oregon 8tate
on their own field next
year, which will just add that
much fervor to their desire to
do a little husking on their own.

the game too lightly, yet there

Now that the seemingly un

defeat at the hands of the Uni
versale of Hollywood by a one
point margin there is a ehanoe
to look back over tM tourna
ment and what has hap

fine chance. None of the

reached the semi-finals. The
teams of Arkansas and Ken
tucky got the furthest along the
rocky path, but even they with
their consistently fine play
couldn't match the strength of
the semi-pro's. And semi-pros
they are, being given their Jobs
for the sole purpose of playing
basketball for their employers.
Maybe "Phog" Allen and some
of the other coaches that
thought Notre Dame and New
York university were "sjlly" to
stay out of the tournament
realize now that they knew what
they were up against.
Good playing and the desire
to get ahead will pay in the
long run. Many coaches preach
something like this to their pu
pils, but never prove it. Not so
with Coaches Bible and Lyman.
If a player can In any way prove
himself worthy of getting ahead
he will be sent up just as fast
as It is wise to do so. Sam
Swartzkopf, a member of the
White team for many weeks
showed Improvement. Sam
stayed at it and played hard
every minute, learned quickly
and showed Improvement. Sam
got his reward a week ago when
Bible shifted him to the Red
squad and a first string position.
Saturday the same chance
came to two other men. This
time George Seemann and Bob
Ramey showed so well on the
White squad against the Reds
that Bible didn't wait until next
year to promote them, he did It
while the game was still on. In
the extra period allowed, both
Seeman and Ramey entered the
game and played at least a quar
ter with the first string after
already playing two quarters
with the Whites. Bearing out
the old story that "them that
has gets" the boys have shown
that the desire to play, mixed
with the necessary ability is a
straight road to the top.
The old adage that all athletes
are dumb has taken a terrific
shock at the hands of one James
Heldt. Those who claim that foot
ball leaves them with no time to
study, or do anything else, should
listen to the Tale of Heldt. It
seems Heldt has not only been a
major letter winner, a member of
Innocents, the president of his so
cial fraternity, vice-president of the
Inter-Fraternity council, and
Prince Kosmet In the Klub's fall
show, but was elected to Phi Beta
Kappa, national scholarship honor
ary. This is not the first time, de
spite the tumult and shouting of a
downtown sports columnist, that a
major letter winner has had a high
enough scholastic average to be
admitted to the society. But it is
a record rarely equalled and does
show that brain and brawn in co
ordination will go a long way.
The Augusta Invitation tourna
ment is through as a great pub
licized golf meet. Now that the
great Bob Jones has shown that
he can't restrict his play to one
meet a year and still show well In
his own tournament the press will
be inclined to let the matter drop.
As it was, all that was creating
the interest was the question of
whether or not Jones could stage
a comeback. If the great spoit
coverage given the meet so far is
removed the tournament will drop
back with many others as just
another "small money affair."
After three postponements the
play was supposed to end yester
day. "Llghthorse" Harry Cooper,
who had been about third or
fourth in the betting odds, has
come through with two great
rounds of medal golf to lead the
pack after the second day's play
with 139. The course Is expected to
dry enough to allow the play to
finish either Monday or Tuesday.
Lawson Little, playing In his first
tournament as a professional, is
back in the crowd although not so
far that he might be considered
"out." Johnny Goodman, one of
the supposed successors to Little
as the amateur king, was way off
his game and was a poor twenty
second at the end of the second
round.

the Pt K A's with two straight
games, in the semi-finals played
last night in the coliseum.
The Phi Psi's, winners of

The S street boys came back in
the ' next two games to earn the
right to play in the finals by tak
ing both games 15-8 and 15-11.
Elliott's play was outstanding for
the Sig Eps.
The Beta's battled their way
into the final by two straight
games, 15-10 and 15-6, over the
Pi K A's. Watkins' was the stand
out for the Pi Kappa Alpha's,
while well-coordinated team work
was the feature of the Beta play.
The Beta's were League IV cham
pions while the Pi K A's had dom
inated League III.
The Pi K A's and Sig Eps will
battle for third and fourth posi
tions also this afternoon at 5

FIVE SPORTS REMAIN
ON MEN'S INTRAMURAL
Baseball, Track, Tennis
Golf, Horseshoes
Included.
Five sports remain on the fra
ternity intramural calendar, ac
cording to Assistant Director Bill
Horney, who has recently re
assumed his duties after a severe
illness. The sports to be run oif
after spring vacation include golf,
horseshoe, track, tennis, and base
ball. 4 t
Snfthail enmnetition will start
the week after spring vacation,
the first games oeing piayeu
15 or 16. The only change con-
tomninte.i in this sDort is that in
stead of two afternoon games, one
game will be played at :ju auu
the other will start about 6:15.
This arrangement is expected to
be more satisfactory than the old
arrangement of two afternoon
games, because the teams will
have more time to play the game
and playing conditions are much
more satisfactory in the evening.
Golf and tennis tournaments will
be held the week following the
softball competition. They will be
conducted in a manner similar to
that of last year.
Tho a definite date haa yet to
be set for the horseshoe tourna
ment, it will be held some time in
the near future. New courts have
been constructed behind the coli
seum. Instead of the old method
of allowing contestants to choose
the time and place they will play,
a tournament will be held. This
will be a round robin tournament.
All contestants are required to ap
pear within 15 minutes of the time
set or their matches will be for
feited. Track Meet, May 8, 9.
An all fraternity track meet
will be held May 8 and 9 on the
stadium track while the varsity is
competing at a track meet at
Oklahoma. There will be seven
events in this meet, including the
100 and 220 yard dashes, the 110
low hurdles, the high and broad
jumps, the shot put and the 400
meter relay, a four man relay,
each making a complete trip
around the oval. The distance
runs have been eliminated from
the program as It has been found
that the men are not well enough
trained to compete in these events.
This track meet will be a com
petitive instead of a time meet.
Because of this, the number of
entries has been cut down from
an unlimited number to three from
each fraternity in each event. A
minimum of two men In each
event is allowed If the fraternity
wishes to secure entrance points.
It is suggested that each frater
nity have an individual track
meet to determine their entries.
Entries will be due May 1, one
week before the meet is scheduled.
No entries will be accepted after
this date. The preliminaries are
scheduled for Friday, May 8. The
semifinals and finals are slated for
Saturday, May 9.
A complete schedule of the
sports remaining for the rest of
the spring will be waiting for the
athletic managers of each frater
nity when they come back from
spring vacation. They will be
mailed from the Intramural office
early enough to reach the frater
nities by that date.
