Football's Best Friend.
By Ed Steevet.
fl
it
A football player's best friend
Is not his dog, his pipe, nor his
mother; it is Sergeant Richard
son.
Somewhat like Miss Bierbower
of a few issues back, only much
more so, he looks upon football as
the staff of high life. Alwavs dur
ing afternoon drill periods, you
can hear the gruff voice of the
knaried sergeant soften to a duI
rating jest to some football player
cnrouie 10 practice. He can call
every football player who has ever
graduated from this school by both
liis names and his nick tag. plus
some very "personal" quips about
mem.
The oderiferous dressing room
under the stadium is the habitat of
the officer every one of his avail
able spare hours. He spars, teases,
and confides with every man
dressing.
If a dual personality ever
hung from a frame of a man
it does on the sarg. He can be as
gruff and tough as any man,
rumbling commands like a firey
volcano. Then as quick as the
breaks in drill classes come he
can settle down to a mischiev
eously benevolent person; so
much so that you feel like you
wish he were your roommate.
That is the way the athletes
leel about him. They get their
orientation from him. About the
time Richardson recognizes them,
they know they are arriving ath
letically. Many have wondered the reason
the sarg admired gridders so. Most
people suffice themselves with the
answer that it is his love for pure
masculinity like broad shoulders
and furry chests. The reason, how
ever, is that the retiring soldier
was once a gridder himself.
He played his ball with an
army post In South Carolina.
To play on a post eleven means
that you have to be just about a
third tougher than the average
college gridder and to play in
1905, '06, and '07, when the sarg
did, you have to be more rugged
still. On his team the average
weight was better than 200
pounds. The backfield alone
weighed in at 195.
"We played all those college
teams down there in their warn
up games." mused the sergeant
looking off into the distance.
"Then. too. we played all the other
Tosts and other army spots.
ery little was barred back m
those cays and officials were lax
until injuries began to clutter up
the field.
"It was a lot like pro ball, only
a little rougher.
They had good equipment at
Richardson's post, but they wore
long helmets. Long hair like a
horse's mane was the vogue.
That protected their heads, un
til someone grabbed it and pulled
until their hair left its moorings,
or until the gridder yelled down
or uncle or what have you.
"I told Cardwell that I would
like to play the game with him
when he had long hair," chuckled
the soldier, "his hair is just
tender as hell, you know."
His respective post lost only a
few of their games. Many of them,
aa we understand it, ended in ties
or free for alls.
"Ml never forget the last game
I played," he continued, "we just
couldn't win. and neither could
they. I got three ribs broken."
The sarg, who played right end.
lamented the fact that during the
war he contracted flu and has
never had the weight to play the
game since, so he takes the closest
thing to it as a fan.
Richardson retires in the sum
mer after 30 years of duty. He in
tends to spend his first few months
in Florida fishing and later re
turn to this state, build a home,
and follow football indefinitely.

TOUGH FIGHT WITH
25 Men Report for Practice
Despite Threatening
Weather.
Determined to pluck the Jay
hawks' feathers this Saturday at
Lawrence, Kas., 25 Husker track
men reported for workouts yester
day at the outdoor runway despite
the fact that an overcast sky indi
cated the possibility of a shower.
A 79-24 victory last February
over the K. U. squad is still well
remembered by Coach Henry F.
Schulte's proteges and it is their
present aim to return to Lincoln
with a counterpart performance
over the Jayhawkers. Altho the
Nebraskans encountered little
trouble in disposing of the Har
gissmen in this indoor contest.
Coach Schulte believes that the
impending dual will be a real test
of the power of the concerned
squads in that each has now an
equal opportunity to partake in
outside rehearsals.
"Split Events."
"It'll take everything we've got
to beat Kansas Saturday." said
Mentor Schulte as he began figur
ing means of defeating Coach Bill
Hargiss' lads. "There will be few
split events and they'll take firsts
in the sprints and th pole vault.
Besides, they will win plenty of
thirds."

Kansans at the recent Drake
relays is enough reason to war
rant Coach Schulte's pessimism
over the outcome of Saturday's
contest. At this track and field
classic, the K. U. 440 yard relay
took a fifth place: the 6S0 yard
relay a second; Fried land, a shot
putter, a fifth; Shannon, a high
jumper, a fifth.
In Sam Francis the Huskers
are sure of firsts in the shot put
and the discus. Sam has yet to
taste defeat this season in these
two events.
Lloyd Cardwell. whose leap of
24 feet 2 5-8 inches gave him a
fourth in the broad jump at Drake
is a favorite to come thru with
a lion's share of points.
Neumann in Vault.
Bob Neumann, pole vaulter, is
planning to have it "out" with
Bird and Xoble, Kansas vaulting
stars. In the indoor meet here
with the Jayhawks, Bird won the
pole vault after being pressed by
Xeumar.n. Ray Noble, who is well
remembered by Husker basketball
fans for his fight with Floyd
Ebaugh, Nebraska's elongated
cage center, here last winter, has
done several catapaults over 12
feet.
Les Pankonin, 440 yard runner
from Louisville, was clocked for
the century dash at 10.1. which
wasn't bad for a performance
made on a water soaked track.
Dick Fischer, speed merchant
from Valentine, and Marvin Plock
defied the threats of rain and
practiced assiduously to whet their
strides for the Lawrence meet.

TRI-COLOR TRACK TEAMS
TO HOLD BTHMEET TODAY
Stadium Cinderway Chosen
For Scene of
Battle.
Tri-color trackmen will stage
their eighth meet today on the
stadium cinderway. Should the
weather be inclement, the con
test will be held under the east
stadium.
The last color meet was cap
tured by Capt. Bob Kahler's Red
team, which chalked up 70 points
to establish a new scoring mark
for the seven contests. The Kahler
tutored men have won the last
three tourneys and are leading the
pack in the scoring column. Bill
Pfeiff's Orange clan and Jim
Mather's Green aggregation have
each tucked two triumphs under
their belts.
L'nfavorable weather the last
four days has put a crimp in the
practice schedule of the tri-color
runners. Refusing to give in to
the wind and dust. Coach Schulte's
color performers exhibited much
enthusiasm in preparing for to
