Nebraska footballers got their
first taste of rough work yester
day afternoon as they concluded
their practice session for the day
with the initial scrimmage of
the year late Wednesday after
noon. Charley Brock, excused to
take his part In the "registration
mill; Marv Plock, favoring a leg
Injury, and Lloyd Grimm, care
ful of an attack of bolls on his
neck were the only squad mem
bers not taking part in the
scrimmage. Bob Burruss, Omaha
soph, took Brock's place in the
first string line; Ray Prochaska,
Ulysses, handled Grimm's spot,
and Harry Hopp, Hrstlngs back,
took over Plock's position.
Hopp, Herm Rohrig, and
George Porter figured im the
scoring, with Hopp and Porter
scoring touchdowns, Rohrig a
placement. Only casualty re
sulting was a broken nose on
Bill Iverson, guard, which will
keep the lad out for a day or so.
Cornhusker backfield assign
ments were shifted Wednesday
morning, with Marv Ptock, Lincoln
speedster, reporting: in uniform.
Ploek had been taking things easy
in ine infirm
ary, resting' an
Injured leg for
the first few
days of the
practice. Harry

Bill Pfieff, guards; Charley Brcck,
center. Among the other ends, Ken
Shindo appears most likely tn

Schwartzkopf a fair bet to dis
place Belim or Mills at tackle.
Center Bob Burruss of Omaha will
probably draw No. 2 center spot
this year behind the redoubtable
Charley Brock.

OF MINNESOTA

Sixty-seven Golden Gophers
erected Bernie Bicrman when the
Minnesota head man issued his I
first call for candidates from
which to mold his 1938 squad...
Twenty of these are lettermen,
which means no one should under
rate the Gophars. Minnesota's first
game is against the Huskies from
Washington. and Nebraska's
chances against Minnesota would
probably be. better if the Gophers
happen to win that first game...
after a somewhat disastrous sea
son (for Minnesota anywayi last
year, the Gophers are out to re
gain their former ranking as No.
t team in this man's country, and
Nebraska is one. perhaps the high
est hurdle in their path. A win
over Washington would give them
something to ease over, while a
loss to the Huskies would ncces-j
sarilv drive them harder and set
their minds more to the task of
beating Nebraska .. .they're out
for revenge as it is.
Wailing as Usual.
Pitt looms up already as the
team for opponents to lay for...

eventful manner, second and third
stringers will do most of the work,
and then the steam roller will
steam. Pitt doesn't have the easiest
schedule of any big team, but it
certainly doesn't have the most
difficult. . .Minnesota probably has
that spot, playing Big Ten teams,
Washington, Nebraska and other
major tntcrsectionals. Pitt has. in
the past, played weak, underdog
teams at the first of the season,
not mentioning any schools. . .but
those teams simply were not trie
standard of a team that should
have a game scheduled with the
Panthers.
No Set-Up.
Nebraska hasn't a bed of roses
schedule either. True, many
times, some of the Big Six op
ponents are much weaker than
the Huskers, but of late, most of
the conference members have
been giving the Huskers a run
for their money. Kansas and
Oklahoma last year played the
Biffer's boys to standstills. Kan
sas State came too close for any
Emount of comfort. Iowa State
fought hard until lack of re
serves and weight disadvantage
beat them down ... no, Ne
braska can't be accused of sluff
ing so far as scheduling tough
teams is concerned.
This year, Sutherland brings his
Panthers to Memorial stadium. . .
Last year's game in Panther hol
low was one of the best games of
the season even though the Husk
ers were on the short end of a 13
to 7 score, as Rabbit Dodd skipped
some 70 yards with a punt return.
Brute strength, reserves,
weight ... all came to Jock's
aid . , . the Huskers fought hard,
rs hard as they were able but
were unable to stem the steam
rolling Panthers in that last
quarter , . . this year may see
the same thing happen.
No Takers.
No coach Nebraska has would
be willing to stack a bet that Ne
braska will take either Minnesota
or Pitt. Many fans consider the
Minnesota game a fluke. It's true
Minnesota had a distinct edge in
yardage and first downs ... so
did Pitt. Yet the scores were close,
and the games were packed with
thrills.
Whether Messrs. Jones, Ly
man, Presnell, and Browne can
mold a line that will hold the
Gophers and the Panthers and a
backfield that will fool that pair,
remains to be seen. The back
field job will not be as difficult
to solve as will the barricading
problem ... all we can do Is wait
, . . and hope.

If the 1912 class of freshman
athletes comes through as ex

any department at the University
of Nebraska.
Eugene Littler, one of the great
est prep stars ever produced by
the Cornhusker state is back after
spending last year at Compton
junior college In California. Littler
is a splinter in track and u half
back in football. Another trans
fer is Dick Liake, 202 tackle from
Hastings, who attended St. Bene
dicts at Atchison, Kansas, last
year.
Also out of the 1,700 freshmen
were Herb Grote and Jerry
Dutcher, the boys who led Omaha
Benson to many a victory last
year.
I Dutcher was one of the highest
scorers in basketball Benson has
ever had, and Grote is holder of
the state record in the javelin.
Both will participate in football,
basketball and track. Jerry Nem

Hastings, expected to go far in
football, basketball and tennis, is
also on hand.
Two of tho bigger boys that
enrolled were Vic Schleich from
Lincoln, hovering close to 220
pounds, and Henry Rohn from
Kremont, Schleich put the shot
and played tackle at Lincoln high
last year. Rohn, apparently in
fine physical shape, is the best
man Fremont has sent to the
Cornhuslters in years. He will

that express his ability to wield
the paddle, the first of which is
the 1933 Missouri Valley Junior
championship.
That year, Leonard used a pull
