THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1937 PAGE THREE Biffer Sends Out S, 0 S to Secure Cyclone Defense Injury-Riddled Lineup Finds Andreson for Howell, r: Pfciff for English. Xn emergency call was issued yesterday afternoon by Coach Jones as the Cornhusker grid men made preparations for their Big Six battle Saturday with Iowa State at Ames. Injur lea- to several' first stringers neces sitated the Blf fer's request for help. El don Mc Ilravy, fullback, injured last S a t u r day, is still In the hos pital but is re covering rap Idly. Refusing t o be kept out of BILL CALLIHAN cause of a bro From Lincoln joumi. ken nose, Quar terback Johnny Howell decided to partake of yesterday's dummy scrimmage.' While attempting to knock down a blocking dummy, Howell injured the ailing olfactory so badly that he had to leave the field. Callihan Replaoes Mcllravy. Replacing Mcllravy at fullback !s Wild BUI Callihan of Grand Is land, Tipping the scales at 100 pounds, Callihan made his niche In Hunker grid history as he took a pass from Harris Andrews for the winning tally in the Minnesota game. For Howell's post at quarterback Coach Jones is grooming Bill An dreson. Andreson, a skillful passer, caught his first taste of varsity competition in last Saturday's thrilling contest. To the utter surprise of all Husker football fans,. Lowell Eng lish, burly guard, was shifted to fullback position on the second varsity string. Bestowed with plenty of speed, English, so be lieves the Biffer, should make a good understudy at fullback to Mc llravy and Callihan. Tfelff for Englioh. At English's old hsunt was placed Bill Pfelff, stocky guard from Lincoln. Weighing more than 200 pounds, Pfelff played a bril bant game in aiding his team mates down the highly touted Gophers. Since the entire squad is still weary from its last battle. Mentor Jones plans to take things rather easy despite the fact that Iowa Mate is to be played this coming Saturday. Wednesday, the Biffer will have the freshmen run Iowa State plays against the varsity. Adolph Lewandowski, frosh mentor, who scouted the Iowa State-Northwestem game, heaped praise galore upon the Amesmcn even though they were defeated b3 to 0. He returned with an arm ful of Cyclone tactics which will be meted out to the yearlings. Passing Stressed Again, Passing, which played havoc with Minnesota, was given a thor ough airing at yesterday's work' out. Bill Andreson, Johnny How ell, Harris Andrews and Thurston Phelps did the lion's share of flip ping, and many of their heaves found receivers. The Husker forward wall, which outplayed Minnesota's, was given some new slants on the art of blocking and tackling. Line Coach Roy Lyman is highly elated over the showing of his primary de fense. On the No. 1 varsity team were Amen and Dohrmann, ends; Doyle and Shircy, tackles; Mchring and Ffeiff, guards; Brock, center; An drcson, quarterback; Andrews and .Docld, halfbacks, and Callihan, full back. Substituting for Amen at end was Richardson. 'MAC OUT OF DANGER DECLARES DR. DEPPEN Possibility of Skull Fracture Not Yet Determined, State Doctors. Altho the Lincoln General hos pital reported no marked improve ment in the condition of Eldon Mcllravy, Injured Husker fullback, late Tuesday, he was considerably better Tuesday morning. Dr. Earl N. Deppen said "Mac" was absolutely out of danger, and would probably require no surg ery. The doctor is not sure If there is a skull fracture at no X-rays have been taken. The possibility Is that there Is only a severe brain concussion as the brain hemmor hage has completely disappeared, it was reported.

SECRETARY GIVES ADVICE ON LIFE AT VESPER MEETING (Continued from Page L) "That's when you do your best thinking, your most creative work. We must take time out to collect our thoughts, to be our selves." "Be Yourself." That parents have faith In their children and that students must haye faith in themselves was stressed by Miss Green. "Give your own inward qualities which you possess as an individual, a chance to develop, Be yourself!" Excerpts from "Letters by Larry" illustrated various points in Miss Green's address. "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not heartbreaks; feelings, not fig ures on a dial. He most lives who thinks most, feels noblest, acts best," she concluded. In charge of devotionals was Mary Frances Wlttera. Francts Marshall, Vesper chairman, intro duced the speaker.

There has been so much idle, or should we say idol, rumor flit ting about that no one seeming ly knows the straight of the Husker full back's condi tion. McElravy was hurt criti cally last Sat urday while blocking for s punt; that is pretty generally agreed, but how near death did he come? Not as near as common talk had him last bath nizht. sav jELDON M'lLRAVY team physi cians. His chance for recovery, at all times was far better than 50-50. True enough, when the Tecum- seh lad was carried from the field he was breathing only intermit tently, but this is often true of unconscious people. Later at the hospital he was put In the Iron lung for assistance in respiration. Contradictory to common opinion, Mao was not operated on. In fact, his attending doctors state that surgery might be fatal and that It is entirely unnecessary. It is still unknown, however, whether or not he has a fractured skull. AH night Saturday, while oth ers celebrated the mighty victory hilariously, the boy s father and mother sat by his bedside, worried by his unnatural breathing. When Mac was told of the vic tory late Sunday night when he first regained consciousness, he only murmured, "What game?" Yesterday, however, he recog nized his brother and parents and seemed much improved. Will Mcllravy play again? "If he wants to play again, there's no good in stopping him," said his mother. His father agreed, "I guess It will be up to him. He has always been crazy about football. May be he won't want to play now. I don't know." Dr. Deppen, his physician, mere ly stated that he would see the boy well hefore he sanctioned any more football. The doctor also said that he was not sure when the Injury really happened. It mlht have been in the first half. F.ldon has close to a 90 aver se in his university academics, coming to university from Tecum seh on a regents scholarship. His brother, Noel, was an all state guard in high school and played one year of football here at Nebraska, but was too light for varsity. Kansas State A pitiful state may well describe the K-State football situation this fall despite the show of vim, vigor and vitality by a throng of green sophomores who turned out for Coach Fry's early practice. Why? Fourteen (14) full fledged Wild- cats plRycd their final game and said farewell to football that brisk Thansksgtving afternoon a year ago. That's an irreparable loss and just what K-State can muster out of scant material remains to be seen. The not-so-wild cats have scheduled games with Boston col lege, Marquette, Crelghton and Washburn In addition to its loop contests, which should reduce the Wildcat to a docile, toothless, claw-less tabby. , Pew K-State Veterans. No longer does Fry pin his faith on a light weight line. He tried that system and it fizzled. Up for ward, where a last rear guard of vets continues to hold out, stands End Ray Ellis, Center Ken Nord strom and Guard Caesar Augustus Cardarcllt. Tough-fibred Caesar Augustus will make opposing line men recall the days when Roman gladiators said it with lead padded mitts. Sophomores Carl Heaton and Will Bcczlcy are fighting it out neck to neck for first call at the other berth. Tackles will be Shirley Davis, Ed Hayes and Aaron Sheetz. Fair-haired boy In the K-Aggie backfleld is long legged Howard Cleveland, one of the conference's finest quarterbacks, Veteran half backs will be Don Beeler, George uankin and Clayton Matney.

Latest Play of Prominent Writer Far Cry From Earlier Successes. George S. Kaufman has evi dently come to the conclusion that one must not take life too se riously, perhaps as a result of his being exposed as love interest number one in the outpouring of Mary Astor's the-truth-the-whole-truth - and - nothing - but - the -truth diary, for his recent "You Can't Take It With You," in col laboration with Moss Hart, is a far cry from the sophisticated pessimism of "Of Thee I Sing" and "Let 'Era Eat Cake," or of the sparkling but somewhat cynical "First Lady." In his latest play Kaufman is not trying to reform anybody or anything. He does not even thumb his nose at anyone. The New Deal comes In for a bit of comment when Donald, the boy-friend of the colored maid, in reply to an offer of a job, answers: "Yes, sir, onlv I can't take no money for it this year, because if the Government finds out I'm working they'll get sore." Finds Satire Mild. But this quip is so gentle that we think it must be the one Big Jim Farley was telling F. D. R. the time the President nudged Farley in the ribs on that after noon of the democratic mid-sum mer rush party. Likewise we sus pect Nicholas Murray Butler of this one: "Was It a nice commencement, grandpa?" "Wonderful. They get better every year... And much funnier speeches than they had ' last year." "You want to listen speech you go up Father Divine." "I'll wait they'll to a and good hear have him at Columbia." "You Can't Take It With You" Is one of those hilarious comedies that, because of Its absurdities, and because of the tremendous pace with which the madly pre posterous people read their lines, roll you In the aisles during an actual performance, but which does not make particularly enter taining reading. Grandpa Collects Snakes. The setting Is New York just around the corner from Columbia university. The people, we are led to believe, make up a grouping that could be found only "Just around the corner from Colum bla university." First there Is Grandpa Vander- 5UN L"t0,y- .'QUALITY iin ui Mat. 10c Kvt. 15c Eds hof. Thirty-five years ago grand pa went to his office one morn ing, and came right home again. He never went back: life, he felt, should be spent in doing what one most enjoys. So for thirty-five years grandpa has been going to circuses and commencements and collecting live snakes for the living-room solarium. Penny Writes Shockers. Then there is Penny Vanderhof, a true daughter of grandpa. She is the mother of grown daughters, Essie and Alice, but she has the "Divine urge," and so she writes plays. They never get finished, but their plots are nothing if not sen sational. Penny lives hor plas's and she is apt to burst forth with auch startling lines as, "Kenneth, my virginity is a priceless thing to me," In the midst of other peo ple's conversations. Grandpa and Penny are real creations as well as whimsical characters. The other members of the family are hardly convincing. Paul Makes Firecrackers. Paul, the husband of Penny, makes firecrackers which go off at unexpected moments. Essie, their daughter, aspires to the bal let. She wears ballet slippers throughout the entire play and whenever music starts she begins dancing. Ed, her husband, pos sesses a xyophone and a printing press; he lnnscrimmateiy per forms on both. The other daugh. ter, Alice, provides the heart in terest as she is in love with her boss' son, Tony. Tony's parents come to grandpa's for dinner; his father has indigestion and his mother believes In spiritualism. Mr. De Pinna, an Iceman, came eight years ago to pose for Penny as the "Discus Thrower" and is still there. Rheba and Donald, be tween whom exists an unconven tional relationship, are of "no un certain hue." Kolenk-hov, the bal let master, Is an exile from Rus sia. There are still others. Did we SAy that "You Can Take It With You" is this year's Pulitzer prize plav? But then "Gone With the Wind" is this year's Pulitzer prize novel. Dorothy Bentz Sails For Panama October 2 Dorothy Bentz, 37, sailed Satur day, Oct. 2, from New York City for Balboa Heights, Panama. She will visit her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bentz.
