Coach Biff Jones' Husker foot
ballers did little work yesterday as
many team members were forced
to leave for a 5 o'clock examina
tion. Although it is not definite,
the Huskers may scrimmage this
afternoon or tomorrow afternoon.
First Harvard lineup this week
has included George Seemann and
Ray Trochaska, ends; Royal Kah
ler and Forrest Behm, tackles; Ed
Schwartzkopf and Warren Alfson,
guards; Bob Ramey, center; Roy
Pctsch, Bob De Fruiter, Herman
Rohng and Vike Francis, backs,
Yale first team.
Yale's first team has had Glen
Schluckebier and Jack Ashburn,
ends; Harold Herndon and Leon
ard Muskin, tackles; Hub Monsky
and George Abel, guards; Bob
Burruss, center; Bus Knight. Bob
Kahler, Harry Hopp and Henry
Rohn. Kahler has been put in
Theos Thompson's old halfback
spot, as an experimental move.
The frosh crop, although it
hasn't received the publicity which
came to the boys of last year, has
been figuring in Biff Jones'
scheme.
Ed Schwartzkopf, De Fruiter,
and Francis of the Harvard first
string are Inexperienced men, al
though Francis is a holdover from
last year's frosh. Freshmen on
Yale's first aggregation are Hern
don, Monsky, Abel and Rohn,
while Schluckebier, altho a squad
member last year, has had no var
sity competition.
New men.
Other new men who have been
showing up well are Ends Jerome
Prochaska, Ray's brother; Don
Waddick, Bob Ludwick, Burdette
Wertman, Vernon Braasch, Chick
Carper, and Willard Bunker, who
caught the winning pass in last
week s scrimmage. Big Fred Pres
ton, a holdover from last year, is
not in school, although he has re
ported for drills.
At tackles, big Vic Schleich,
Ralph Whitehead, Franny Leik
and holdover Hub Knickrehm have
been in the running. Among other
promising frosh guards are Edgar
Haynes, and the Lincoln duo, Sam
Fuenning and Lynn Myers. Ever
ett Lomax, another varsity man
who had no competition last year.
has been putting in his bid.
Centers Howard Kelly and Louis
Burger of Grand Island are lead
ing freshmen, while Fred Meier,
who was carried with the team
last year, has been looking good
Herschel Pahl of Cambridge is an
other up and coming frosh center
In the backfield John Sandall
of York showed real promise be
fore an ankle injury forced him
out. Ray Smith, Marvin Thomp
son, and Clyde Preuss, the latter
a transfer from Creighton, have
been hacking up Roy Petsch and
Bus Knight.
Vincent surprises.
Trying for Hermie Rohrig
place have been Jack Vincent
O'Neill, one of the surprises of
the spring drills, and Don Rubot
torn, Gering prospect who looks
like a real comer.
Ken Simmons, carried with the
team lart year, has been scintillat
ing in the backfield behind Bob
DeFruiter and Walt Luther, along
with little Harold Kennedy, star
from Beatrice. Jack Stubbs, Nor
foik bullet, and Wayne Blue, Te
cumst-n all-round athlete who was
moved from the line, have been
pushing veteran backs for starting
positions. Other boys in the run
ning are Jake Ferguson, junior,
pluying his first year with the
team, and Eldcn Neurenberger,
holdover from last year.
Maybe it's a little late to speak
about it, but Mr. Fred Ware, the
Omaha World Herald's very able
sports editor, whose one fault is
chastising the Huskers because he
thinks they've gone jitterbug, mside
one statement last week we'd like
to contest, or give the other side
of, or something.
Ware, as we remember, said the
fact that a gal is sports editor may
have its basis in the dctouring of
Nebraska men from athletics to
matinee dances.
He, however, probably hasn't
heard of what has happened to
Dave Thompson, ace sports re
porter for this page. Tommy cov
ered basketball this winter for the
Rag, and then started on track.
But Ed Weir got hold of him, and
for the past two or three weeks he
as been working out under the
stadium we can testify he has
been at exactly two matinee
dances all year.
In fact, one afternoon Tommy
worked so avidly that by the time
he had finished under the stadium
it was too late to do any work on
the Rag.
We have finally figured out
what has happened to Nebraska
athletics (hope Mr. Ware doesn't
take these ensuing paragraphs too
seriously). Trouble is that a gal
has become a sports writer at Ne
braska.
As I See It's reign has been just
about coincidental with the Decline
and Fall of the Husker Empire.
When this column first started Ne
braska had just lost its share of
the basketball crown,
Then followed disaster in track
(that discounts the fact that Bill
Gish's shoulder injury knocked the
Huskers out of a track title). The
Huskers lost their golf crown, then
Last fall it was football, and
then, the second semester with a
gal sports editor, calamity came
in indoor track, basketball, and
swimming,
Sounds like we think we re quite
important, doesn't it? Anyhoo, it's
a good story,
Meanwhile, altho the fact that
the Bix Six decided the Husker
track wasn't good enough for their
meet has "burned up" a few good
old Husker fans, there's the na
tional A. A. U. track and field
championships coming up July
and 2 here, and latest dope seems
to indicate that Syd Wooderson
English ace muer, will appear here
then
He runs at Princeton June 17
and Lewis Burton in the Ntw
York Journal American talked as
tho Syd would be very, glad to
appear here then in a special race
Wooderson holds the distinction of
having run the fastest outdoor
(See BIERBOWER page 8.)

Huskers face Colorado
today, Saturday; are
due in Lincoln Sunday
Nebraska's barnstorming base
ball team which won their first
ame Wednesday as they defeated
California university, face their
last opponent of the trip as they
take on Colorado U. today and
tomorrow.
The Huskers, behind some fine
mound work by Lloyd Schmadeke,
veteran hurler, won from the
Bears 10-3. Home runs accounted
for all the losers' scores, while
Sophomore Shortstop Bernie Le-
master smacked out a roundtrip
per for the Huskers. The win, first
of the season, gave Nebraska a
season s record of one game won
and five games lost.
Return Sunday.
The Huskers will return early
Sunday morning from their ex
tensive western trip, leaving Boul
der soon after the Colorado game
Saturday.
First home opponent of the
Huskers is Iowa State, who plays
here Monday and Tuesday. Only
conference play to date has been
a two game series in which Kan
sas State and Oklahoma broke
even.
Iowa State will bring a fairly
inexperienced team, with veterans
in only three positions.
