Milburn Knight, star 118 pound
wrestler here three years ago,
died in a Fremont hospital Sat
urday night after a railroad ac
cident late Friday. Knight, a
Union Pacific employe, lost both
legs in the accident.
He and his brother Jim Knight,
came to Nebraska U. from Abra
ham Lincoln high school in Coun
cil Bluffs. Milburn attended
school here two years, winning a
major letter in wrestling his
sophomore year when he was sec
ond high scorer on the team,
with brother Jim coming in first
to beat him. Milburn was unde
feated in dual competition that
year. Jim Knight, one of the
greatest wrestlers in Husker his
tory, was graduated last year.

pound running guard, Bob Taylor,
190 lb. right guard, and Bob
Nelson, touted as the leading
center in the Southwest, were the
standouts against the Razorbacks.
Jack Wilson, sophomore left
halfback, and Jim Witt, junior
right half, were the offensive
aces for the Bears. Each counted
a touchdown to put the Bruins
out in front.
Bears Tough.
A. J. Lewandowski scouted the
game for the Huskers and claims
that they will be one plenty tough
team to beat. The Huskers will
have a long workout today and
will continue tomorrow and
Thursday in an attempt to remedy
the many mistakes that were com
mitted at Ames Saturday. '
Baylor has a large team this
season, boasting a 41 man squad
that is rated as huge and tough,
so the Huskers have another
tough week-end ahead of them.
Aerials which have been sparing
ly used in the last two tussels
are expected to be uncorked in an
attempt to stem the first South
western representative to play on
the Husker lot for some time.
Newkirk calls
golf candidates
Golf coach Ed Newkirk has is
sued a call to all candidates for
both the varsity and freshman
football teams to report at 12:30
tomorrow afternoon for a meet
ing in the coliseum.
Newkirk urges any man in
terested In freshman or varsity
golf to attend the get-together,
at which a definite meeting time
for all candidates will be made.

Husker gymnasts open official drill Monday
Prospects bright with four lettermen back
Official practice for the Husker
gymnastics team opened Mon
day, although a large number of
candidates have been reporting to
Coach Charley Miller for pre
season drills ever since the begin
ning of school.
Four lettermen, the most any
Husker team has had returning
since the sport was started here
five years ago, are reporting. Roy
Proffitt, two year letterman, and
ace of the team last year, Gay
Cadwell, another two year veteran,
and Jake Geier and Stan South
wick, both of whom lettered for
the first time last year, are the
veterans. Ray Griffen, who lost
out last year because of an early
season injury, is also back.
Johnson looks good.
New mateial is headed by Guy
Johnson, a fine prospect, who was
all-university champion last year.
The other most promising new
men are Ken McAferty, Harold
Buxton and Abe Grossman.

lmy or sell I know the otitis

Nehraskan Classified Als. I

Coach Miller has asked that any
freshman or upperclassman inter
ested in the sport, no matter
whether he thinks he is varsity
material or not, report for prac
tice. The turnout at this time is
already larger than any the school
has ever had.
Other men who have been re
porting are Robert Anderson,
Harry Rinder, Floyd Howard, Lee
Glissman, R. E. Samuelson, Taul
Bolstad, Charles Smrkovsky, John
Kuppinger and Ray Rolland.
Luke helping.
Pete Kreischer, letterman of
two years ago; Bill Luke, wres
tling star for three years, and the
returning lettermen are helping
Miller with the new men this fall.
The practice schedule has been
changed, with workouts being held
from 3 until 6 instead of from 4:30
until 6 in order to prevent crowd
ing on the coliseum stage, where
the team practices.
This year's schedule has not
been arranged as yet, since the
Huskers who compete with Big
Ten and Big Seven teams in the
absence of Big Six competition,
have to wait until those first two
leagues make out their schedules.
However, meets are certain with
Minnesota and Iowa, with whom
the Huskers have home and home
agreements.
To enter AAU regional.
They will enter the Rocky Moun
tain AAU meet again, having won
it four out of the last five years,
and will also probably face Colo
rado U. and Greeley Teachers in
dual meets. Coach Miller hopes to
take a team east to meet Chicago
U. and Illinois, but the Huskers
will not face Gustavus Adolphus
or Carleton, last year's foes.
More interest than ever is being
shown in the team this year, and
Miller attributes it to the exhibi
tions his men give between halves
of basketball games. New stunts
are being worked on for presen
tation this winter.

All of a sudden this Baylor
game, which Biff Jones scheduled
two years ago to take Iowa's place
for one season on the Husker
schedule has assumed quite a bit
of importance. Baylor won their
first two games against easy com
petition, and with none too im
pressive scores, but Saturday they
walloped an Arkansas team which
had beaten Texas Christian.
The Huskers beat Minnesota,
but a none-too-good showing
against Iowa State will take Ne
braska down in the eyes of the
guys who make predictions about
such things as football games, and
all in all, what would have looked
like, on paper, a fairly easy game
for Nebraska now is wide-open
affair because of the Bears' win
over Arkansas.

A knee injury which Elmer
Hackney suffered in the first four
minutes of the K-State game
against Colorado, will keep Hack
out of the lineup for at least two
weeks, according to Coach Wes
Fry, and if the Oberlin Ogre is
out that long it looks as though
K-State will have to give up about
all the hope they ever had about
figuring in the Big Six title race
because Saturday they play Mis
souri, and the next week end they
face the Huskers. Hackney suf
fered torn ligaments in his right

after the game that he would be
out for the season.
