MS -1 r it,- ' ' j If: ---f. r fil, -I" THE DAILY NKHU ASK AN, flHlRSDAY, OCtOKKR 20, 19.18 TIIKI.K ft SEPCDIDTT By Norman Harris Horace brought me Jn an ex amination paper a little while ego, beaming from ear to ear, with his big 85 that he got in a Psych 181 exam. Well, Horace Is pretty well satisfied with himself, now that he's stayed eligible for any extra-curricular activities. He wants to know now Just how it Is football players can (ipend so much time playing football and still get good grades. Well, Hor ace, the football players can't play football unless they do stay eligi ble, which mean that they must be UP in 12 hours of work in school. "Gee Whiz," said Horace. "What , if a guy only takes 12 hours, and if he goes down in one, then he can't play." Horace received an affirmative nod and looked wor ried. "Well," he said, "I sure hope all o fthose 120 some freshman of Lew's stay eligible. It'd be a shame to have to have them drop out of football now just when Lew's been getting them primed to shove Pittsburgh and Oklahoma plays down the var sity's neck." Yes, little Horace is sure wor ried about that football team's staying eligible. Eligibility trou bles forever haunt the coaches of the nation's best teams. Locker room notices keep plugging away at the players, telling them they must be eligi ble to play football. And Ne braska, like every other Impor tant school, expects its athletes to study. After Horace's worries were calmed by telling him that most men on the varsity are smart enough to know that they have to stay eligible, he dozed off soundly and started to dream of Saturday afternoon, when he expects the Huskers to flash their best while taking Oklahoma. Some day, just for the fun of it, the Biffer's multifarious squad of football managers, numbering some humptillion, ought to get to gether and tussle among them selves In a good hot scrimmage. They wouldn't mind it, for from 3 to 6 every evening of practice, they get out on the field, run atfer footballs that bound off the field and over the fence, and do a darn good job of keeping equipment from getting lost. They heed the call of ledahii ted pliryers after scrimmages by lug ging heavy baskets of wuter bot tles halfway across the field, at the same time making sure the bottles are filled, seeing that no stray bottles lounge around the field ready to slice up the varsity, and in general, taking care of the boys when anything conies up. The- most pleasure thev get is throwing the football around while. Thev sacrifice hours of studv. and rn'obablv all wish thev i were big enough to go out lor the squad... and even it they arc not . . . it's only fair to them to say Ihey are a quite important pa i t" of the football machinery.

"Bucky" estimates that he winds some 600 to 700 yards of two inch tape per week around the ankles, wrists, and legs of his 'boys." Besides his duties as gen eral manager and trainer, he seees that the sore spots are fixed up by operating the heat lamp in the frosh locker room, he Is careful to see that the steam baths arc not run Incorrectly, and is the "First Aid Kit" to the whole fresh man squad when It comes to small cuts and lacerations. The red head also helps Lew in checking role, which is a job in Itself. When asked what the best part of his job was, he nochnlantly re plied, "Collecting the pay check, of course." The toughest part of his job is of course, "The work connected with it." Mooching cigarettes is a favorite habit of Mr. Prime's who never has much trouble. However, Bucky is always obliging upon requests . . . if he has cigarettes ... to "lorn'' one out. , Prime is 20, a second semester sophomore In the Arts college school of journalism.

Huskers Are 'In the Bag' Says Sooner Campus, Counting Unborn Chick Reports from Norman, Okl have it that Coach Tom Stidham is having trouble with overconfi dence on the Sooner campus. Sooner students seem to have the idea that Nebraska will be a soft touch, having lost to Iowa State ,and tied with Indiana. Play ers on the high flying Oklahoma squad are not of this same opin ion however, realizing that the Huskers Improvement has been re- j markfihle ,and that the Nebras i kans are pointing for the Sooners. Estimations of the crowd ex- pected in the Sooner stadium Sat ; urday have reached 20,000, which i If fulfilled, will be a new record ! In Oklahoma history for home games. I Stidham has not yet picked his i starting lineup for the Saturday 1 ""' w mt mc im ms wrongest and ocsi uuent win oe on n!,nd to flBht lhe Huskers, At P'esont, the Bitter has the same bunch that started the In- diiunn game on his first string, and they will probably remain there as the starting lineup this week end. Huskers have been working hard, faced with the fact that if they lose Saturday, their Big Six record will be the worst of any Nebraska team since 1930 in con ference. Last week they faced the chance of losing their third straight for the first time in 39 years, and broke the jinx by tying Indiana. NOW SHOWING! It's More Fun Than A Coke At Student Union When You've Cut Class With Your Gal! ... , . Dazzle . . All in Itl I - Amrrican I.auiih Hit! Starring Weaver Murphy Davis Haley 9L by June Bierbower Waddy Young, Oklahoma's star end, was the only senior in the Sooners' starting line against Kan sas Saturday. Jim Thomas, regu lar guard, who was out of the lineup with an injury, is the ot h e r third year man in what is consid e r e d O. U.'s strongest line. Two sopho mores, Justin Bowers, tackles, an, I Cliff Speegle, have made' the HERM ROHFU& starting lineup, Lincnln Journal, while end John Shirk, tackle Gil Duggan, and guards Harry Stevenson and Jerry Bolton regulars in Thomas's ab senceare juniors. So it looks as though tough will be an anemic adjective for the Sooners again next year. The Daily Kansan, wnicn, as u admits, is not entirely unpreju diced, picked Charley Warren, K. U. center, as the outstanding line-, man on the field Saturday, despite the presence of some highly touted Oklahomans on the other side of the line. The Jayhawks, according to columnist Bill Fitzgerald, found Young's end wasn't invincil:' making several good gains around him. That will be good news to Husker followers, for Young has been made out to be something of a backfield eating ogre in reports of his play against opposing backs, especially passes. Ends Shirk and Young will have very large handfuls of business Saturday afternoon if Hugh Mc Cullough punts to the two Husker safety men, Hermie Rohrig and Marv Plock, who are just about as good as they come at that re turning business. Marv has been out most ot the year, and might surprise someone Saturday. His absence from the Husker lineup hasn't been pub licized much because of the grand way in which Hermie has taken over, but when he gets in there, he may run a few boys ragged. From the looks of the weather now, he and Jack Dodd won't be handi capped by a slippery footing as they were lust year, and 'it will take some hustling to stop the dazzle boys. Rohrig. by the wiy, isn't the first German boy to wear that number 25, as most of the not so old timers will remomlK'r. Last Dutch flyer to sprout it was one George Henry Sailer, about whom no more has to be said. Saner was a great player from the day he set foot on the Husker gridiron, and Herm is stalling just i like him a full Hedged varsity performer in his early sophomore days. By 1940, when both he and his sophomore line have two years under their belts, more than a few teams will be running to some pretty rugged cover. To get back to the present, tho, which Is much more pressing, al beit a little less rdsy: The Huskers, if their defense continues to improve, can hold Oklahoma, whose forte this year is more along defensive than of fensive lines. That would leave it up to the Husker attack, and if it can get the downfield blocking It lacked at times against In diana and Iowa State the Sooners' jig might be up. Skeleton Comes Out of Closet At Tea Party Adam, the art department's new skeleton, will be guest of honor this afternoon at 4 o'clock nt a tea sponsored by Delta Phi Delta, art fraternity. The affair hns been called both to celebrate Adam's coming-out and to bid farewell to Charles, who h resigned tho nn- Sltlon of chief skeleton in the de partment after many years of faithful service, in which time he lms held a unique place in the neart of every prospective artist. It is believed that Charles is leaving his post because of ill neann ior ne nas suuereci me loss of several ribs, vertebrae, toes, fingers, et cetera, as the result of much rough hnndling and vigorous counting by students of anatomy during the past decades. All fine arts department mem bers are invited to attend the cele bration in room 309 of Morrill hull.

Huskers Strengthen Defense Phi Delfs Reach Finals Championship Battle With Sig Eps Today Phi Delta Theta gained the in tramural touchfootball finals yes terday afternoon when they took a nip and tuck tussle from the Betas 2 to 0, by virtue o f safety in the third quarter. The Phi Delts will meet the Sig Eps in the finals this afternoon at 5 o'clock in what promises to be a hard fought game. Altho the game is regarded as a tossup, any edge ljiust be given to the Sig Eps, who have consistently run up large scores on their opponents. This may not prove to be a decisive factor be cause neither team has met the same opponents and the Phi Delts 1 have shown strength both orf of- j fense and the defense. The Phi Delt. margin came in the third period when the Betas were thrown for a 14 yard loss to their one yard line by virtue of a fumble. An attempted punt was blocked by Phi Delt Elani and was recovered in the end zone by the Betas for a safety. The game was evenly contested thruout but the Phi Delts made the most serious bid In the third quarter when they advanced to tne Beta 2 yard line : where the Betas held. For the 1 winners, lineman Flam was a con-1 stant thorn in the Betas' side while ' King, end. nnd Ryan, back, also came thru with some nifty work, i For the Betas, Souders and Sid Held came thru with their usual fine performances.
