    THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, THURSDAY. MARCH 31. 1938
PACE THRLt
By June Bierbower.
One question which has been
making life miserable far the past
few weeki In, why are Nebraska's
grid candidates so miserably puny?
Only 19 of 65 men scale 200
pounds, or over, although it Is true
another Is at 199.
Really, It's beyond comprehen
sion, although perhaps the recent
drouths, tornadoes, rioods, bliz
zards, and that earthquake of two
or three years ago, may have been
detrimental to the health of Ne
braska rys.
Colorado's coach, Bunny Oakes,
told Alan Gould that 40 of the
Huskers weighed between 219 and
260, and we understand that poor
Alan was sndly disappointed when
he saw the Midgets of the Mid
lands, What can be done to rem
edy such a state of affairs is be
yond our knowledge, but solutions
will be welcomed by the Huskcr
coaching staff and by this corner.

Announcement that the varsity
band will play at all university
baseball games and that both the
Tassels and Corn Cobs cheering
sections will be present at every
game, was of interest to all who
read it. With the crowds of six
and seven thousand that usually
see the Husker nine play, the band
and rooters should make the
games even more colorful than
they arc now.
Especially gratifying to Ne
braska fans and Fred Ware is
Iowa U.'s extraordinary interest
In Omaha high school football
players, especially Benson's Bob
Brown. Isn't it nice to see coaches
taking interest in a boy not within
their own state. It exhibits their
lack of provincialism, their broad
mindedness, and their cosmopoli
tan Ideas on football teams.

CONFERENCE HEADS
COAX BIFF JONES
TO SIGH CONTRACT
Sam Francis Eligible
For Nebraska Gridplay;
Makes Fourth String.
By John "Scoop" Stuart.
Joining the Big Ten, the dream
which la uppermost In the fevered
minds of all loyal Cornhusker foot
ball roothers througout the great
fertile plains of Nebraska, for the
past several decades, Is now an
actunl realization as papers had
been signed early this morning In
Minneapolis, Biff Jones having
taken a special plnne to attend.
Minnesota dropped out of the
conference, unofficial reports stat
ing that the Norsemen feared their
supremacy had been lost, and
thinking It wise to withdraw with
out further blemish at the hands
of the scarlet and cream. The
statement issued from the Gopher
camp to the press ran to the effect
thHt Minnesota's discontinuance
of Big Ten relations was to make
room for Nebraska, as no other
team would resign, particularly
Chicago U., who wanted to be In
the same conference with the
Huskers.
Everybody Happy,
Votes of the populace through
out the Big Ten area, taken last
week, were overwhelmingly In fa
vor of Nebraska's joining the
circuit while the officials and
coaches of the respective uni
versities were Immensely pleased
with the poll. The Cornhuskers'
sudden rise to popularity has been
culminating and finally overflowed
the pot with Nebraska's whipping
all three of its Big Ten foes last
fall. The "White Spot" state joined
the conference wdth the' under
standing that It was not to
schedule games with any of the
member teams, but to play out
side the circuit, which would bring
honor and glory to the Big Ten
schools without being forced to

his beard that it was about time
they had asked us to join. He
states that he signed the papers
only after great persuasion and
many lucrative offers, one being
that the Eig Ten considers Sam
Francis an amateur and eligible to
play football with the Nebraska
team. However, as Sam Framiu
has only a berth on the fourth
squad, It Is doubtful If he will get
to see any action next fall.
Gifts Shower Jonesmen.
Other special accomodations
have been provided for the Husk
ers. The Pullman Car Co. Is work
ing under full steam to finish the
streamlined train with built-in
bunks which will accomodate the
grldsters on their long trips over
the country next fall. The Spald
ing Sporting Goods Co., as special
acknowledgment, is donating an
entire new line of football togs and
Jerseys with Its special type
streamlined helmets to the Corn
huskers and its newest Invention
of rubber toed shoes, which add 25
yards when the kicker boots the
ball.
Inquiries have been pouring in
from all parts of the country de
manding an explanation of the
Husker state's phenomenal climb
up the sports ladder. Although no
tralnlne tahlo is ninintnii)Pd here
at Nebraska, it has been reveaied j
that all squad members ate goon
meat, issued to them by the ath
letic department. Only by chance,
was this discovered by a scout
from Pittsburgh, who saw the last
consignment, in a box car on the
Burlington track, opened.

MILE AS
TRACKMEN GO WILD
3 Men Break World Record
In Discus Heaving; Mills
Puts Shot 58 Feet Plus.
Husker tracksters went wild
yesterday In the last practice prior
to the opening of the outdoor sea
son, and broke records right and
left. In the feature event of the
day, Glenn Kuper became the first
man in history to run a four-minute
mile.
Kuper, running with Al Cun
"ningham, who has been working
out on the Husker track for the
last week, clipped five full seconds
off Cunningham's best time as he
went around the track four times
in 3:59.4, eclipsing Cunningham's
phenomenal time of 4:04.4 a few
weeks ago. Willie Andrews also
ran in this race, but as he had
been out of action for several days
with a leg injury, he was unable
to keep up with the fast pace set
by Kuper, and finished a poor sec
ond In 4:03.9. Cunningham, com
pletely exhausted, dropped out of
the race half way through the
fourth quarter.
"P" 8chulte Happy.
Commenting on Kuper's race,
Coach "Pa" Schulte said that he
should have done several seconds
better. According to the Husker
mentor, Kuper did everything that
a track man shouldn't do, and that
with a few days In which to per
fect his form, Kuper should push
the record down to 3:56.
Three men broke the accepted
world record for the discus. Joe
Mills started the parade with a
heave of 180 feet In his first trial.
Mills had hardly stepped from the
ring when Bill Brock added four
fet to his performance. Then Jon
athan Pfeiff failed to even equal
the old standard, as he got off a
poor 174. Neither Mills nor Brock
surpassed Brock's 184 in their next
turns, but In his second attempt,
Pfelff sent the platter out for 188
feet. Mills finished the day with a
mighty heave of 190 feet.
Schulte was more satisfied with
the discus men than he was with
Kuper, but he still feels that none
of these men have got their maxi
mum distance yet Mills, he said,
the least highly developed man
of the group.
rfiuls Makes It Two.
MillH made it a double for the

the 16 pound weight 58 feet 31
inches. After making this heave.
Mills claimed that the shot was
heavier than the regulation 16
pounds, and upon actually weigh
ing it, the shot was found to be
1'2 pounds overweight.
Another trio, running the half
mile, finished in a dead heat at
1:50, These men were Hank West,

Coach Hagan Protests
Underhanded Practices
Of Blackspotters.
PITTSBURGH, March 31: Spe
cial to .Dally Nebraskan. Athletic
Director James Hagan at Pitts
burgh university revealed today
that the Pitt Pantywaists. for
merly known as Panthers, have
refused to meet the Nebraska
Blackspotters, heretofore callel
Cornhuskers, on the gridiron next
your.
Hiigun backed his statement
with a protest Hgainst the unfair
trade practices Nebraska football
has adopted. Case number one he
stated was the deceitful treachery
the Blackspotters used against the
Pantywaists In last falls game.
The gentleman-like, sporting
blooded Pitt team had been play
ing fairly and squarely against the
Ncbraskans when suddenly Two
Gun Andrews, In the act of re
turning a punt, double crossed the
Pantywaists by tossing the bail
back to Shootin' Sessil Dodd. who
promptly ran for a touchdown.
Protests Secret Practices.
Had the play been executed on
the spur of the moment, or had
the Pitt youngsters been warned
beforehand, Hagan ststed that he

would have overlooked the mutter
However, to have practiced the j
plsy for weeks in secret drill, with
the sole thought In mind of spring
ing it against Pitt, was more than
the Smoky Cltlans would tolerate.
Reason number two was Blfl
Jones' backhanded, crafty method
of holding secret practice. Any
coach, excepting Jock Sutherland,
who is suspicious of outsiders, is
not a big enough man to coach n
football team, stated Hagan.
Third reason Is Nebraska's un
scrupulous lnfringment on Pitt's
territory when drawing players Is
concerned. Pitt, by one of these
oversights which anyone is prone
to make, let Fred Shlrey go to
Washington and Jefferson, where
he became entangled In the claws
of the Weir family and came to the
Bluekspot for his footballing.
Closest spot to Nebraska that the
Pantywaists have taken players
from is Siuox City, Iowa, much
farther from Lincoln than is
Lntrobe from Pittsburgh.
Some hope for renewal of ath
letic relations in future years
could be gleaned from Hagan's
concluding statement, though. He
said, "Three mistakes do not make
a millennium. When Nebraska
learns to put its athletics on a
common-cents basis, the Panty
waists will he pleased to attempt
reconciliation."

After his fourth attempt to better

Lincoln sports reporters, by pre
dicting tht the Huskers would
probably place In only one or two
events in the Texas relays, which
are being held In Cheyenne, Okl.,
Thursday. This Is the first time In
the memory of any Lincoln news
paper man, that Schulte has not
forecast an easy victory for the
Husker team.
In the paat, when the coach said
that the Scarlet and Cream would
win by wide margins, It haa al
ways lost. No Nebraska team has
won a single meet as long as

Schulte said that the man most
likely to score at Texas was Daw
son. He said that "Modest Boy"
had the best form of any man on
the squad, and that he should
Jump at least 20 feet 6 inches be
fore the end of the year and do
the 220 in :25 flat. The other men.
said the optimistic coach, could
hardly hope to win a single point,
and that all the Husker hopes
were pinned on Dawson, who has
not scored a single point in his
two years of competition to date.
With Schulte's predictions that
the Huskers should win, comes a
ray of hope for followers of the
Scarlet and Cream, since in the
past all of the Husker mentor's
predictions have been the exact
opposite of the final results.
