varsity freshman game next Sat
urday. Coach Weir did not disclose who
would do the punting for the fresh
men but it ts believed that George
"Bus" Knight, all state back from
Lincoln, will get the call. During
practice sessions Knight has been
booting out better than average
kicks.
The frosh are getting most of
their defensive drilling in lengthy
scrimmages against the varsity
teams.
MANY POSITIONS OPEN
ON '38 GYMNASTIC TEAM
Gymnastic team practices arc
getting into full swing, and Coach
Eddie Reynolds is keeping a wary
eye open for talent.
"I'm not looking for experts,"
stated Reynolds, "but 1 do want
men with a little talent who are
willing to work with the team and
myself. Actual competition is a
long way off, and any man who
is willing to work will have plenty
of time to develop into an A-l
tumbler."
As no Vetera ns are returning,
chances for making the first squad
are better than doubled. Practices
are held in the coliseum daily
from four to six o'clock.

A broiling September sun, which
pilfered its share of poundage from
the players, failed to put a crinip
in Coach Biff Jones' plans yester
day afternoon at Memorial stadium
as he trotted
three Corn

their first de

thru the task of guarding passes

let but few ozone throws get past
the secondary defense.
The varsity got a preview of
Minnesota plays yesterday as ex
pounded by Coach Ed Weir's year
ling aggregation. The few varia
tions of Gopher plays that were
exhibited by the Weirmen caused
the varsity no concern. The fresh
men, led by their illustrious back
field of Bus Knight, Floyd New
ton, Harry Hopp, and Edsel Wib
bels, were stopped at the line of
scrimmage.
Charley Brock, burly varsity
center from Columbus, stemmed
Gopher crashes and threw ball car
riers for noticeable losses. Brock,
who has drawn words of praise
from such national sports writers
as Alan Gould, Associated Press
sports editor, and Henry McLe'
more, united Press columnist, is
slated to be the spearhead of the
Scarlet and Cream s forward wall.
Kickers Show Wares.
On the regular playing field,
Mentor Jones called on his kickers
and had Xhem show what they
could do with their educated toes.
Thus far Quarterback Howell has
shown the most promise of becom
ing the best punter, altho Thurston
Phelps, Bill Andreson and Jack
Dodd have been sending several
long spirals down the rectangle.
For variety, Preceptor Jones
taught his proteges several plays
which he hopes they will use in
foiling Coach Bernie Bicrman's
Norsemen. The new tricks were
dashed off with machine like reg
ularity and precision.
Blocking and more blocking was
