Although the Huskers are
known as a junior team, having
had six juniors in the starting line
up in every game thus far, eleven
sophomores as compared to ten
juniors have seen service this year.
The seniors are lagging with six
men, all of which bodes fair for
good old next year.
In the first two games juniors
Ray Prochaska, Forrest Behm,
Warren Alfson, Roy Petsch,
Herm Rohrig and Butch Luther
started, while Royal Kahler and
Bob Burruss joined Alfson,
Petsch, Rohrig and Luther on
the first string last Saturday.
Bus Knight and Harry Hopp,
two other juniors, have been al
ternating with Petsch and Roh
rig respectively in the backfield.
All ten are first rate performers,
and it is around that junior
group which Biff has been
building. Bob Kahler, the other
junior, saw service against In
diana, but the other men have
been in a good share of the time
in each of the first three games.
War Horse George Seemann is
the only senior who has started all
three games, although Bob Ramey
was in at the kickoff of the first
two. Sam Schwartzkopf and Jack
Ashburn started last Saturday.
Adna Dobson was in a while as
fullback against Minnesota, and
Theos Thompson took over quar
terback duties during part of the
second half at Ames.
Now to the sophomores, who
have thus far come through in
good style. Guard and fullback
posts probably possess the best
sophomores, with Eddie
Schwartzkopf, Hub Monsky and
George Abel at guards, and Vike
Francis and Henry Rohn at full
back. Big Monsky, who inter
cepted that last Indiana pass,
Abel, who looks like one of the
best running guards who has
ever hit Nebraska, and little
Schwartzkopf, should insure the
Huskers fine guards for the next
few seasons barring unforeseen
Injuries, incidents, etc Rohn is
a fine ball carrier, and Francis,
a defensive bearcat, is blossom
ing as a plunger and punter.
Monsky started the first two
games, Schwartzkopf the next,
and Francis has been in the
starting lineup since the season
began.
Clarence Herndon started the
first two games at tackle, being
the lone soph who has played at a
tackle position. Bob Ludwick and
Fred Preston have been seeing end
service, and Jerry Prochaska got
in for the first time against Iowa
State.
Then there's a guy named Bob
DeFruiter, who made a touchdown
against Minnesota, in the backfield
to liven things up. Ken Simmons,
the other soph, got In for the first
time against Iowa State, since he's
the third man after the Rohrig
Hopp duo, and playing third man
there consists mainly of picking
up bench Olivers.
All in all, maybe it won't be so
bad in 1941 after the 1940 crew
graduate. ,
News comment
(Continued From Page 1.)
Balkans have met seeming de
feat. The nazis will get no more
supplies from the Balkans now
than they did in peace time. If the
reich does not pay up its debts
Jugoslavia may ever cancel con
tracts with her. There is some in
dication that Russia's advances in
the Balkans have given the small
states backbone to oppose the
nazis.
Neutrality proposal.
The senate foreign relations
committee now proposes to permit
American ships to carry goods to
belligerent possessions in the
South Atlantic and Pacific. Arms,
ammunition and implements of
war would be barred, however.
Biff puts gridders through
long drill for Baylor game
Baylor
to bring team
of veterans
Fourteen lettermen are num
bered on the Baylor Bear squad
which will play here Saturday, and
while most of the men in the start
ing lineup are veterans, the Bruin
sophomores were the best fresh
men the Waco school ever had.
Last year the Baylor team was
led by Billy Patterson, whom Biff
Jones called one of the country's
greatest players. Patterson was a
bulls-eye passer, and the Bruins
played a wide-open game last fall.
Wilson, Witt aces. '
However, this year, behind the
rushes of 200 pound Jackie Wil
son, sophomore sensation, and let
terman Jimmy Witt, the Bears
switched to a power came which
beat Arizona. Witt and Wilson
scored against the Razorbacks.
They are not without passers, tho,
for Dwight Parks, 15 soph star,
and W. J. Grumblei, regular full
back can pass capably.
It is the Baylor line, tho, which
is expected to carry the Bruins

far this season. The forward wall
averages well over 200, and Coach
Morley Jennings has veterans
from end to end, and only one
touchdown has been scored in
three games on Baylor, which is
undefeated as yet. That score
came on a long Arkansas pass
which was booted around on the
goal line Saturday until a Razor
back player finally recovered it
for a score.
Starting ends against Arkansas
were Sherman Barnes, 197, and
W. J. Wimpee, 195, both two-year
lettermen. Jack Lummus, Barnes'

is listed at 210 and Frank Marx,

Louis Robinson, another letterman,
ard Jack Anderson, squadman
from last year, are Jennings' first
reserves at the tackle posts.
The Bears, like Nebraska, are
strong at guards. Leonard Akin,
210 pounder and Bobby Taylor,
190, who both received alSouth
west mention last year, are the
regulars. Pat Mickleer is the best
sophomore, and he and squadmen
Don Haley and Jack Willis all got
into the Arkansas game.
The Bears think they have the
Sidelight: These areas would not
be importing them anyway. The
implications of the administration
sponsored "safety zone" about the
Americas are now being seen more
clearly. America hopes to take
over the carrying trade to Brit
ish and French lands in the Pa
cific and South Atlantic and defy
the nazis to do anything about it
within the safety zone.
The appointment of an army en

division of the labor department
may have some significance as a
possible preparatory step to set

Jones fired up the Huskers to beat
Minnesota after an unimpressive

happens again, the Huskers will be
on their game after a letdown last
