The varsity did not attempt to make the extra point, and gave the sphere to the freshmen. Leading by two touchdowns, the first stringers were taken out and replaced by the second varsity squad. It was against this club that the inexperienced, but rugged, yearlings obtained their touch down as Overstake took a pass from Jackson. Preston skirted right end for the freshmen's sev enth point. Biff Jones Incensed. Incensed over the playing of the second team, Mentor Jones threw in his third varsity outfit to see what it could do against the ram pant frosh. The third stringers, however, fared no better than their predecessors, and offered lit tle in the way of playing which would cause any preceptor to smile. For the first time in many weeks, a team had a punt blocked yesterday. Fred Shirey, burly var sity tackle, broke thru the line and smothered one of thr fmsh squad's punts. Winds Aid Punters. High winds aided mint pi a In getting off long spirals. Howell ana Anciieson have been showing up best in the kicking department and will undoubtedly do plenty of booting for the varsity in its '37 encounters. Adna Dobson, a tackle from Lincoln, and Johnny Richardson, end from Eau Claire, Wis., have been showing skill in placekicking. Tomorrow afternoon at 2 p. m. at Memorial stadium, the varsity will tangle with the frosh in a 40 minute battle. Admission to the contest has been set at 25 cents. Preceding the varsity-frosh mix, the six man grid squads of Ches ter and Nehawka high schools will put on a game. This fracas is booked to get underway at 1 p. m.

The lockers have been removed from the boy's locker room in the coliseum and baskets have been j substituted. While the student is I engaged In sports the baskets are j checked with the clerk. I Reasons given for removing the j lockers are to prevent petty thiev ing, facilitate cleaning, provide ex tra space for ping-pong tables, ; and easier control of university ' towels. j For nearly four years the bas ket system has been used by the varsity football team and has been so successful that John K.

Plans for a mid-term repub lican convention are in the air. Local and state leaders are op posed, but a poll of 11,000 officers of republican clubs and other party organizations show 94 percent in favor. Former President Hoover's secretary says that "Hoover is not a candidate" for the next presi dential nomination and "has said so a dozen times." Hoover's stand is apparently somewhat different. He Is quoted as being heartily in favor of an off-year convention, and to have said that "any man who says he doesn't want to be president is untruthful to start with." Apparently, the former chief executive has aspirations, and opposition from party chief tains will not be enough to deter him from making a try for top position. President Ughls Polio Himself a sufferer from infantile paralysis for 16 years, President Roosevelt is instigating a national foundation to direct and unify the fight against the disease which has cost the lives of a large number of persons.

To the admin istration for a really worthy proj ect go the plaudits of a grateful people in afflicted areas.

Nite I aramount Yens YEA M IN GREAT DROVES Weir Will Call Upon Six Full Elevens During Varsity Game. The starting Freshmen lineup for the varsity-frosh game next Saturday remained in a muddle yesterday with yearlings four and five deep in most positions still making a strong bid for the honor. Six complete teams of Freshmen will be lined up for the starting lineup, according to Ed Weir, head freshman coach. "We plan to use practically all of the men against the varsity," Weir de clared. This will give the fresh man coaching staff a chance to determine what their charges can do under fire. The No. 1 aggregation which will probably take the field is; Prochaska and Hann, ends; Wilson and Gauger, tackles; Muskln and Lomax, guards; Meier, center; Hopp, quarterback; Knight and Newton, halfbacks, and Wlbbels, fullback. Making particularly no ticeable bids for posts on this eleven are Thompson, tackle, who may replace Gauger, and Le Roy Farmer, halfback, who has been giving Newton a run for his spot. Prsdicts Ragged Offense. Weir said that the frosh are ex pected to be pretty ragged on of fense. Due to the inexperience of the players and the short notice they were given to perfect Minne sota plays, the frosh will undoubt edly resort to a great deal of punt ing and will use a minimum of running plays. Weir did not state whether or not the frosh would do much passing. Bus Knight and Vike Francis are rated as the best kickers on the freshman squad and will do most of the punting. However, be cause of the number of players who will see action, other pros pective punters may show up dur ing the game. Weir and his staff are confining their energies to the perfection of this phase of the game. No Frosh Punts Blocked. "In the past two games the frosh have played against the var sity, not a single Frosh punt has been blocked and the boys are out to keep this record," declared Weir. During the past two days, the Freshmen have had little chance to improve their game. Head Coach Lawrence "Biff" Jones has been using them as "live bait" for much needed tackling practice on the part of the varsity. The entire frosh squad will as' semble at the stadium this after noon for the taking of group pictures. "I Went to Europe to Relax, Not Analyze," Asserts Scott (Continued from Page 1.) tics and economics brought back by visitors to the continent. A per son can still go to Europe for recreation and enjoyment of the interesting places it has to offer, without forcing himself almost overnight to become an observer and interpreter of international events and embroglios, he empha sized. Sails on Queen Mary, Dr. Scott and his wife went over on the Queen Mary the latter part of August, spent the entire month traveling through the continent getting a general impression of the scenery and people and re turned to America on the Nor mandie the first cf September. "Lack of money need not keep anyone from seeing Europe," Mr. Scott said. "Cost of travel after you once get across is lower than in the United States, that is if you do not demand American travel ing standards. If you don't mind crowding into a compartment with perhaps a dozen perspiring, gar licy Italians and their livestock, and if you can endure bumping and jolting on the hard wooden benches, you can travel very cheaply by going third class rail road." He rated the cost of travel lowest in Italy, where the govern ment quotes half-rate on railway fares to foreigners to encourage the tourist trade. Germany and France were next low, with Eng land the most expensive. Visit Paris Exposition. The Scotta spent some time at the Paris exposition and w'ere par ticularly Impressed with the beauty of the Seine, which at night is il luminated by colored lights placed on the river bottom. The Russian building on the exposition grounds was significant to Dr. Scott, who found it "seemingly indicative of a happy, Joyful outlook for the new Russian era." Relating some of his travel ex periences, Dr. Scott recalled that the nearest he ever came to the war situation In Europe was in Mainz, a city of 75,000, where he and Mrs. Scott got off a Rhine river steamer right in the middle of the German war games. In Air Raid. "We had Just entered a taxi when the sirens screeched out the approach of an 'enemy' air raid. Officers sprang up everywhere clearing the streets of traffic and shooing the people into the bomb cellars. In about half an hour the air squadron appeared and 'Domnccr uie city while the defend ers manipulated anti-aircraft equipment. It was great sport for us, dodging and twisting thru streets and alley-ways, but It was even more fun for the taxi driver. He had a fare!"

' ... 7 I BIER MAN CITES HIGH BEEF QUOTATIONS That freshman eleven that there has been so much chatter about has finally filed across the stadium scales and their weights were a Uttle disappointing to the gridiron lobbyists. Instead of that 195 pound average in the backfield, the yearlings weighed in at a slight 180 pound average with their line trailblazers outweighing them only 5 pounds to the man. Of course, such an average was calculated from the short dozen who have been hitting the turf most regularly in practice. With the array of players cheeked out, Ed Wler could line up a hunch that, could belittle Barniim and Bailey's elephant department, but we're afraid that their licking power wouldn't exceed lolly pops. These fellows whose weights we have are fast and have the disposition of runaway army tanks. One coincident concerning the scale readings of the yearlings is that three of the four backfield men weigh in at an identical 173 pounds. The trio are Newton, Knight, and Hopp. Minnesota Heavy. While we are stealing the thunder of the weights and meas ures department, we may as well go on and recite our faint knowl edge of the bulks of those Min nesota goblins. As this pillar in tercepts the dope, the Nordics have and end to end average of 199 pounds, a backfield average of 189, and Nebraska nein nein. The Huskers are a bit on the fealhor side In the backfield and the line not so enormous, since only three of the alleged "giants" weigh over 200 pounds. Of course, as the Biff or re marked, weight in statistics is only "paper weight." It's the man that can hit the hardest and the longest, who is big. How About Husker Defense. With Oct. 2 and the Biermen Gophers only two weeks away there has been plenty of brain racking, to figure out what cut the leaks in the Scarlet defense. Day before yesterday Harry Hopp of Hastings tore thru a full team of red shirts for a touchdown, and several times since the rela tively inexperienced frosh have reeled off some good gains.
