THE DAILY NF.B1USK W. TIU'RSD VY. OCTOIiF.R IS. IttW Back Fresh 'H LPLPir man oosiers By Norm an Harris Husker hopes for a victory over Indiana Saturday are probably not as shallow as many persons believe. True it Is that Indiana has a heavy team, studded with veterans ... a team that held Ohio Stale to a one touchdown victory, also, which has not tasted the glory of victory this year. The Hoostcrs want to win this game for many obvious reasons They haven't won from the Husk ers in the past two games, losing both by slim margins after cany ins off statistical victories. They haven t won this year and don't entertain any notions of losing Heir third straight. but Nebraska also wants to win, for obvious reasons. The Husk ers haven't won this year, and neither do they entertain any notions of a third straight loss. They want to wipe out the in glorious defeat by Jim Ycagrr'a upsetting Iowa State club. They want to show that they can play the brand of football which has ranked them among the top half dozen tfams in the nation during the past few years ... so don't sell them short. Big Six laurels will be as big a job this year for the Huskers to take care of as will winning their intersectional contests. Okln h o m a, in dead earnest, has perched itself at the top of the valley teams by virtue of vic tories over Rice and Texas, bowl ing the latter over in methodical fashion Saturday, 13 to 0. The Huskers journey to Norman the week after the Indiana game where probably the Big Six title question will bo practically set tled. If the Sooners beat Ne braska without much trouble, thty should win the conference crown easily. If the Huskers trip the Okla homa forces, then they, the Soon ers, ana Iowa State's Cyclones are very liable to end in h three way tie, providing the Sooners trip the Cyclones . . . however, no amount of figuring will lead us to any definite result. Nebraska is capa ble of knocking off its four re maining opponents ... so is Okla homa, but the Cyclones are a question, even though they squeezed out a win over the Huskers. Conch Wilbur Knight, Husker baseball tutor, reports that 31 men have been reporting to his fall practice sessions quite regularly. A few fall games will be played within squad numbers before the practices end to determine just what ratings new stock should be given in preparation of Spring games . . . theres' one thing that seems sure. With a little student support, and aided by fall prac tice, Nebraska's baseballers will turn in a better record next year than this last season . . . and you can bet on It. Varsity Rolls Husker Pass Defense Fizzles; Indiana Running Plays Hit Stone Wall 9L by June Bierbower Do Athletes Burn Out? Not if Proper Training Rules Are Followed Husker Squad Faces Second Hurdle in Big Six Conference Race With only two more days of real work left before the Indiana game Saturday, Biff Jones' yesterday pushed his Huskers thru their hardest work so far thia week, lln- " Ing up two full s? v P J aJt elevens against frosh teams; teams, one on offense and the other working defensive post tions. The first string, lined up against Adolpli j e wandowskl's Indiana offen sive aquad stopped the frosh cold on most of their wjmi.n m niNHUti.Mi plays, allowing 'Lincoln Journal, a couple to Flip thru the line for gains of 4 and yards. The yearlings completed two passes Into the flat which would have been good for at least 15 or 20 yards, but were unsuc cessful on all the rest. Later, this eleven switched and took the offensive against the frosh, with the Major giving them the hall at various yard markers, checking up on the quarterbacklng used at different stages or a game One drive, where the Major placed the ball on the frosh ten, took four nlavs before the redshirts could push leh ball across. Monsky Shines. Hub Monsky, frosh guard, piled nn n av alter may imu ma sition, working his 19(1 pounds with the ficht and acillty of a panther. Blocked out by two men at times, ho would arch over back wards and grab the ball carrier cominjr thru his spot. The varsity's touchdown was scored after he was taken out of the lineup, with Fob Luther twisting thru the line for the score. The eleven men composing this varsitv team were: Knd's, Ray Trochaska and George ' See man; tack- x'v"4-T;:;,1 les, Bob Mills talned against the Cyclones. Another aquad, working on of fense against another frosh team consisted of the following men: Ends, Ashburn and Shindo: tackles, Sehwarttkopf and Goetow- skl; guards, Klunl and Dohson; renter, Meier; backs, Knight, Thompson, Andreson and Sim' mons. Aided by nice blocking, Knight twisted thru the frosh secondary several times for gains that would have been touchdowns in a reg' ular tilt. All in all, the aquad la In pretty fair physical condition, has been laboring hard to overcome mis takes committed during the first two games and It out for the Hoosiers' scalps.

Hermie Rohrig, in suit, particl- ) jpated in dummy plays but gave .over to Bob Luther during scrim i I mage, careful of his injuries sus- Tlght contests were the rule yesterday afternoon as touch-football teams In League IV and V completed their schedules, leaving only a few postponed games to be played. After the dust had cleared, Phi Delta Theta had won the chain plonship of League IV by defeating the A T. O.'s 12-0 and. the Delts had won the chance to meet the Delts had won the chance to meet the Sig Alphs in a playoff by de feating the latter team 1-0 in an extra period. The Phi Sig Z. B. T. tilt was postponed but will have no bearing on the standing of the Phi Delta in League IV. Owen, Ryan and Abel were the leaders in the spirited attack of the Phi Delts which netted touch downs in the second and third quarters. At the same time the Phi Delt defense held up to hold off A. T. O. scoring threats. For the losers, the work of Davis was outstanding. The Sig Alphs, with a chance to clinch the championship of League V, went down to defeat in an ex tra period to the Delts 1-0. This win gave the Delts a tie with the Sig Alphs, and will necessitate a playoff. Both teams played evenly thruout, the only serious scoring threat coming in the second quar ter when the Delts advanced to the S. A. E. 15 yard line. Out standing for the victors were Dow Wilson and Bob Smith while the work of Bruce Duncan and John Keating was best for the Sig Alphs. In the other League V tilt, the Phi Psis scored a touchdown in the first quarter and a safety on a blocked punt in the third period to defeat the Kappa Sigs, 9-0. Baker and Schwartz for the win ners and Mack and Van Buskirk for the Kappa Sigs shone in this game. In a postponed game the Sigma Nus' defeated Sigma Alpha Mu, 16-0. Jim Henderson, sage of Iowa State, writing in the Ames student newspaper, presumably in an ef fort to stem over optimism on the Cyclones' part, states that Ne braska may be the weakest Big Six team Iowa State will face. If he's speaking of the team the Cyclones met Saturday, he may be right, for as some million and one sports gabbers have writ ten and said, the Huskers pimply didn't have the old savvy that Roes with experience and they didn't look so hot. It's a fair warning to the Staters, for they probably will meet lengue teams who will be better than the Huskers were. However, we wouldn't advise Nebraska's Big Six opponents to be to base their hopes on the Huskers' play Satur day. We don't mean to toss sour grapes at the fine play of the Iowa State team Saturday, hut we just have a hunch that some of the boys who are soiling Nebraska short now will be doing some rue ful regretting before Thanksgiv ing. Altho most of the headlines around other Big Six schools have been extolling some hot shot soph omore backs -all except Hermie Rohrig, it seems, it looks as tho most of the boys who are getting national recognition are linemen and veteran backs. With the old all star bug be ginning to buzz once more, we'll fall in line for a day, too. There s the Huskers' Charley Brock, who Is playing All American ball at center even tho Nebraska has lost its first "two. Ed Bock of Iowa State is the best guard in the con ference and among the best in the country, while Oklahoma's two ends, VVaddv Young and John Shirk; who happens to be Big Six discus champ on the side, have ' been making life pretty unbear able for passers in the southwest, among them Ernie Lain, who is i combatting some extra avoirdu pois as well as opposing lines. Four veteran backs in the con ferenee, namely Jack Dodd. El mer Hackney of Kansas State, Max Replogle of Kansas, and Everett Kischer of whom you may have heard, are still pretty much the class of the midlands. Dodd has scored on long runs against every big opponent of the Huskers in the last two years, and his 90 yards against Minnesota didn't hurt anything. Northwestern by its own admission, didn't stop Hackney, and thought he was All American timber. Replogle. one of the best backs appearing in Lin coln last year, is again sparkling the Kansas team, while Kischer's play 'against the Huskers placed him in the A.P.'s list of Saturday's heroes. Wilbur Moore, the Mlnnesotan whom a number of Nebraskans re member, has averaged 7.6 yards every time he's carried the ball this season... Ted Doyle suffered a broken arm In Sunday's Pittsburgh-Brooklyn tilt . Do athletes burn out? ' Your neighbor probably will confirm your personal opinion that they do. Certainly, you reason, after years of intensive training and competition In high school and college an athlete faces life after after graduate with his energy spent, his est gone and his health Impaired permanently. Why, yon probably know of a case back home where a basket bnll player who was all-state in 1933 died a couple of years later. And your friend remembers an other story very much the same. But actually the statement that athletics burns one out or affects his health, is false. So says Sid Robinson, Indiana's cross-country coach, who returned this summer from Harvard's physiological 'at oratories. Robinson was granted a two-year leave of absence from hi University teaching duties to work for the Ph. D. degree at the Cambridge, Mass., educational in stitution. While studying at Harvard, Robinson aided in can vine on 12 Injuries Dim Indiana Grid Hopes Twice-Defeated Hoosiers Prepare for Hoosiers Prepare Minus Regulars A crippled Indiana football ' eleven is busy preparing for its third straight game away from home with Nebraska's Corn huskers when it journeys to Lin coln thin eom- inff Saturday. - o Minus an even dor.en regulars and semi-regulars, Co,ach Bo MoMillin, t h e gloomiest roach in football.

Hoosiers is on the shoulders of Edwin "Swede" Closen, whose promising career has been cut short by untimely injuries in past years.

England's middle distance champion. It was found that these men, when performing exhausting work on a motordriven treadmill, had super-normal capacities for oxvgen consumption. Lash, for instance, is capable of absorbing 81 ruble centimeters of oxvgen per Kilo gram of body weight, as rnrnpnrc-i to the average non-athletic man' 47 cubic centimeters at Lash's ago of 24. Thus Lash has an oxygen consumption of almost twice hat which you possess. Heart Well Developed. The great power of oxygen In take which Lash and his spiked shoe brothers possess comes prin cipally from a superior develop ment of the heart which is nblt to supply the tissues with a larger volume of blood each minute. Training intensely strengthens the heart so it can allow Increased oxygen consumption. Thus an athlete can enter life after college with an advantage over his fellow student as far as staying power goes. In performing exhausting work, these athletes attain about the saint.' maximal heart rates 1'M beats a minute on the aveiagi as do non-athletes of the :mio a;e. Since the athlete's heart beats m tho same rate as the nnn-alhletc s in work which is maximal for each and the athlete's heart supplies a much larger volume of blood a beat, it follows that his heart is more efficient in each beat. Then why, you ask, do utilities you have heard of die so young, oi go through life far worse for their competition in high school or college sports? Doctors unani mously answer that these cases are vastly exaggerated in number and that of the thousands of ath letes entering life after graduation each year, only a scant few ever are impaired in health. The rest are better for their competition. In nearly all such cases of athleies dying or becoming sick after com petitive days are over, examina tion prcllminai y to the particular individual's entering spurts would have shown heart trouble or otner Internal defects which competition would Just aggravate.

It was at Jackson high school in Lincoln that Theos Jardin Thompson received his first foot ball training, under the able coach ing of Ralph Beechner. While play ing for the Red and White. Theos played at the flank posi tion in football, and ran the quarter mile for the scanty clada. At Nebraska the Bfffer shift ed T h o m p son from end to h a 1 f b a ck be cause of his lack of weight. He tips the scales at 171 Lincoln Journal, lbs., and his scant shock of blonde hair is 5 feet 11 Inches off the ground. Tommy excels at the art of block ing, doing more than his share of this tedious work. Iowa State was the first team to witness Thompson In, action, when he was sent in by the Biffer to help utern the attack of the invading Cy clones. Without doubt "Jard" is the most faithful goer outer on the squad, having missed few prac tices unless physically unable, and is always on time for the Major's first call. Theos is one of the few that know the technical points of the game, taking a great Interest in this department. Tommy waa out for the varsity squad last year, but due to the over supply of baekfield material, Coach Jones chose" to withhold him until this season. Because of this Thompson has three years of com petition remaining, plus the expal rlence he gained last year. Not only is Theos a good football play er, but he also excela In the class room. With an average that la bouncing on 95, Thompson has de cided on chemistry as his major. Tommy ia the son of Dean and Mrg. T. J. Thompson. Born Aug. 30, h U now 20 yean of g.

Kansas-Huskcr Runners Compete Two-Mile Competition Precedes Grid Battle Fresh from a victory over Mis souri last Saturday, the Kansas State two mile team will take on Nebraska in connection with the Indiana-Nebraska football battle Saturday. Coach Ward Haylett was very pleased with his team's showing against the Tigers and said that Charles Mitchell, conference cham pion and record holder, George Hofsess, Ed Leland and Thayne High would run for sure.
