freshmen Wednesday afternoon at
Memorial stadium, Coach Biff
Jones became highly apprehensive
over the problem of developing
capable reserves to carry the Corn-
husker football team thru its stren
uous eight game schedule.
The first string of Dohrmann
and Richardson, ends; Doyle and
bhirey, tackles; Mehnng and Eng
lish, guards; Brock, center; How
ell, quarterback; Dodd and An
drews, halfbacks, and Mcllravay,
fullback, looked impressive in the
25-0 victory over Coach Ed Weir's
frosh.
However, the second and third
squads did not please Major Jones
in the least as they floundered
about the field, missing one assign
ment after another. During the
period in which these two elevens
partook of the scuffle, Coach Jones
made substitution after substitu
tion in search of players who knew
their lessons.
Dodd Takes Honors.
Gothenburg's Jack Dodd, half
hack on the first string, stole the
honors of the battle. Snake-hip-pedly,
Dodd broke away for gains
ranging for 5 to 18 yards and set
the pins for the two touchdowns
registered by the starting aggre
gation. Center Charley Brock accounted
for the first tally as he caught a
lHt.eral from Jack Dodd and
ambled five yards. Richardson's
placekick was wide. Another
lateral, from Quarterback Howell
to Guard English, ga''e the var
sity its second touchdown. The
Jonesmen lead 12-0 at this junc
ture as Theodore Doyle's conver
sion kick failed to sail thru the
upright bars.
An Anderson to Grimm pass set
the second team in scoring posi
tion. Being but three yards from
pay territory. Fullback Andreson
powerhoused his way thru the
stubborn freshman forward wall
for a touchdown. Andreson's
placekick for the extra point
struck the cross bars, and the var
sity had garnered 18 points to its
opponents' nothing as the third
team was called into action.
Ball Makes Tally.
George Forter, third string quar
terback, flipped a 20 yard pass to
Art Ball for another touchdown
Porter's placekick was successful,

varsity.
Guarding against passes, a topic
which has been on the practice
schedule for the last three days,
was given a thorough airing yes
terday. Heaves thrown against the
first string backfield went for nil
and Preceptor Jones was highly
elated over the performance of
this quartet.
A group chalkboard lecture was
also on the bill of fare, the head
grid instructor giving his pupils
an examination of plays to be used
in tripping Minnesota here Oct. 2.
After this talk, the major put his
backs on the blocking machines,

Fraternity Intramural
Heads to Meet Tonight
Harold G. Petz, director of
Intramural sports, has asked
that every fraternity appoint
an athletic director, and that
he be present at the first
meeting of athletic directors
tonight at 7:15 In the "N"
club rooms. Many important
changes in Intramural sports
will be announced, and the
program for the year will be
discussed. It Is very Import
ant that every fraternity be
represented by at least one
man, and that he be on time,
Petz asserted.
around the 97 mark, Line Coach
Lyman put his forward wall thru
the job of downing ball carriers.
The tackling was spotty at times,
but about the first of next wek
the art of bringing ball toters
to the ground should be perfected.
Placpkicking honors went to
Adna Dobson, hefty tackle, as he
booted many conversions thru the
uprights. Punting honors were di
vided between Bill Andreson and
Jim Mather, each sending many
beautiful spirals down the field.
Guard Gus Peters failed to re
port for practice since his ailing
back has taken a turn for the
worse. Peters has a catch in the
small of his back which is caus
ing him plenty of throes.

Lettermen, Veterans Start
Daily Workouts
In Coliseum.
Seasons start early for college
athletes. Coach Jerry Adams may
be found in the basement of the
coliseum any afternoon from 3 to
4 o'clock running his squad, and
prospective champs, thru the fun
damentals of wrestling.
Adams is fortunate this year in
that he has, not only a fine look
ing squad of new men, but also
many lettermen and other vet'
erans returning. Among the letter
men are Jim Knight, junior high
point man last year, wrestling in
125 or 135; Bill Luke, a letterman
with no high school experience, in
135 or 145: Julius Wittman, grap
pling in the 135 class; and Carl
Yost, who will be in either 175 or
heavyweight,
Oothcr prospective first string
ers who were on the squad last
year but did not letter are: Lee
Clare, 135 or 145; Lester Zepp
145 or 155; Milford Smith, 155 or
1H5; George Reeman, heavyweight,
and Jack Hutchinson, also heavy
weight.
Luke, Knight, and a few others
are already working out with the
squad. Others are expected out
soon but are delayed because of
other activities.
Expect Large Squad.
Adams is rather pessimistic
about losing such men as Eddie
Sauer, who left for New Hamp
shire with his All-American broth
er; Jerry Adams (no kin to Coach
Adams), who is now working on
the west roast; and many others
who hnve left school or g -aduated.
With prospects as they are, how
ever, there should be little trouble
in replacing those men who will
not participate this year.
"I'd like to see everyone who is
Interested in wrestling try out for
the team," stated Adams, "the
more, the merrier. It is really sur
prising how many men, with no
coaching whatsoever, come out for
the team and make a name for
themselves in this field."

in defense of their title for t tie

Hagelin indicated that new ma

Among the seven lettermen re

Frosh Hopp Shows
Heels to Varsity
BY JOE ZELLEY.
Harry Hopp, who received his
prep training at Hastings, made
the varsity football team take
notice of him Tuesday. Tlaying at
the halfback post for the yearlings,
Hopp galloped about 50 yards to
score against the second varsity
squad.
With Dodd and Andrews booked
to get their sheepskins this June
Hopp is being counted on as one of
the candidates' to fill one of the
halfback posts next year. Dwight
Thomas, now head grid coach at
Nebraska W'esleyan U., tutored
Hopp at Hastings.
Perusing the Daily Texan, of
ficial student publication at Tex
as U., this sports scribe ran
across a story which spoke high
ly of Dana X. Bible, former head
football mentor and athletic di
rector at Nebraska. The story
told how Coach Bible's Longhorn
varsity gridmen carnaged the
frosh, 59 to 0, before a crowd
of more than 3,000 spectators.
Another dispatch from , the
same paper related that Coach
Bible had reduced his varsity
aggregation to 36 players. These
three dozen pigskinners have
been showing up well in practice
periods.
A Saturday Evening Post story,
chronicled by Francis Wallace,
noted sports writer, listed Ne

Studies Under Dr. Werkmelster.
Student reactions and customs
naturally are different although
some of them are the same as ex
perienced by our own students.
For example when a professor en
ters the class room the students
first of all applaud by pounding
their deskes with their fists. As
soon as the tumult had died the
professor returns with a salute
and then continues with the class.
While attending the winter se
mester of the University of Berlin
it was the unique experience and
pleasure of Mr. Stobbe to have as
his professor of philosophy Dr.
Wcrkmeister, professor of philoso
phy of the university, who was at
that time conducting classes at
the Berlin university.
Historic Heidelberg with its 550
years of existence proved a place
of great interest. Treading the
same halls as did Kant and other
famous teachers of his time, was
one of his pleasant experiences.

tour he made extensive bicycle
tours of Germany. With no spe
