LINCOLN, FOOTBALL
SYNOMYMOUS
The discussion, pro and con,
over the addition of the Lincoln
catnedral choir recalls an inter
esting tidbit in connection with
one of the organisation's visits
to Pittsburgh, football's capital
city. As the choir was marching
down the aisle of a Smoky City
church, a venerable old gent, sit
ting in the end of the pew, leaned
out and tagged a member of the
choir who happened to be a
Husker footballer.
"Say," whispered the Pitts
burgher between snatches of
the processional, "how's your
football team next fall"?"
We relate this incident to show
.that in remote territories football

is synonymo!.i to Lincoln and vice
versa. Just as we feel in this part
of the country that a graduate of
the University of Pittsburgh has a
n. F. i bachelor of football) degree,
so do the peop'ein that part of
the country look upon the Univer
sity of Nebraska as the finishing
school for upset teams.
The point is that the univer
sity now has a chance to add its
name to a famed organization
which has been heard and will
be heard in the future all over
the country. This is our chance
to prove that we do more than
just play football at Nebraska.
Prep Tourney Wednesday.
The state high school basketball
tourney gets under way in the coli-
' scum Wednesday and the pro
gram promises to provide thrills
galore for the cage fans. In class
A, the leaders seem to be Omaha
Benson, Lincoln, and Jackson,
runnerup for two years running in
the state tourney. The Bethany
squad seems to dominate class B.
but class. C is unpredictable and
should be anybody's meet with
Liberty, the reigning champs, de
feated in the district tournaments.
Dick Crayne of lorwa is the
new backfield coach at Kansas,
replacing Glenn Presnell, who
signed up for a similar position
here at the university. Crayne
was all-Big Ten fullback at the
Hawkeye school in 1935 and wa
a member of the college all-star
team that battled the profes
sional champions in Chicago the
following August.
The past two years have found
Crayne playing with Brooklyn
Dodgers where George "Potsy"
Clark, former K. U. coach, took up
the instructional duties in the
Dodger camp after grooming the
Detroit Lions for the national
championship the yenr before.
Crayne served as captain for Pot
sy's team at Brooklyn.

former athletes here, the "In

day a red letter one in his brilliant
career.
Kansas State and Missouri tied
for second with 23 points, Kansas
had 20, Oklahoma 19, and Iowa
State 9 points. John Munski, Mis
souri's great sophomore miler, set
the only new conference record,
galloping hime in 4:19.2, one sec
ond faster than the mark estab
lished in 1934 by Glenn Cunning
ham of Kansas.
Ray Baxter, Nebraska high

inch of equalling the record for
that event.
