Water pell play start

By June Bicrbower.
When Biff Jones told the Husk
ers at the University Club ban
quet that they were the best all
around team he'd ever coached it
took in more than a little ground.
The Biffer, who isn't one to talk
through his hat, was head coach
at the Army from 1926 through
1925), during which time his 1923
team gave a Nebraska power
house its only defeat.
Jones had some fine teams at
Louisiana State during the three
years he coached there, from 1932
to 1934, as he coached Abe Mickal
there. The Huskers this year did
owe their success more to all
around strength than to the per
formance of any one man like
Chris Cagle who played for Biff
at the Army.
And getting back to dear old
LSU-it was five years ago this
week that things were popping
lown there, Jones having demon
strated the Saturday before to the
-Ute Huey Long that said Kingfish
might be running the bayou state,
but that he wouldn't run the foot
ball team while Biff was there.
Bill Jennings, Oklahoma half
back, had never played on a
Sooner team which lost until the
Missouri game . . . reason was
that as a sophomors in 1938 he
played throughout the season but
was out of the Orange Bowl brawl
with Tennessee because of injuries.
. . . Maynard Ingalls, South Da
kota's star forward of the past
three years, played professional
baseball last summer. . . Jack
Crocker, who was elected captain
of Missouri's football team, started
out at Tigertown as a tackle . . .
he weighs only 180.
If the state's collejes "is will
In"', the Huskers may have a "B"
team next year. "B" football died
a miserable death here because of
lack of material two years ago,
but what with the wealth of grid
tiers slated to be p round next
year, the coaches should not hcive
to go out and comb the intramural
trams for players as they did in
1937.
The formal season has just
Ptiu-ted. You should get your tux

Fraternity water polo play gets

Missouri editor
opposes bowl
game for MU
LATE NEWS: Missouri Wednes
day accepted an offer to meet
Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl
game, provided Big Six permis
sion is granted.
Martin Umansky, editor of the
Missouri Student, campus news
paper at Columbia, opposes the
Tigers' participation in any bowl
game except the Rose bowl. In an
editorial in the last edition of the
Student he says:
"But do we vant to play a Bowl
game?
"The decision is by no means
easy to make. To go to any bowl
does not always result in glory and
gravy. The Oklahoma Sooners
came back from their Orange bowl
venture last year with plenty of
grief, besides bruised bodies and a
meager $11,000.
The Rose Bowl, he said was the
only bowl which would be worth
the trouble. He adds that Missouri
has had enough glory for the year
and advises letting the team "get
back to playing with the books
again there are still sheepskins to
win."
ule in League 2 will be finished
by Jan. 4. Playoffs for the cham
pionship among the four league
winners will be scheduled later.

HARRY PITCAITHLEY, pictured
above, is the player who will
captain the Huskers Saturday
night in their opening basketball
game against South Dakota U.
Pitcaithley, a Jackson high grad
uate who had a year at Kearney
Teachers college, is playing his
second and last year at Nebras
ka. He is a forward.
With the first basketball game
of the season coming up Coach
W. H. Browne's starting lineup is
beginning to take shape.
Game Captain Harry Pitcaith
ley, forward, will be the only sen
ior in a starting lineup which will
contain two and perhaps thre
sophomores. Hartraann Goetze,
fine sophomore prospect from St.
Joseph, Missouri, slated to get
the opening call opposite Pitcaith
ley. Randall back.
Al Randall, six foot, seven inch
center, and a junior, will probably
start at center. Soplwmore Sid
Held, three inches shorter than
Randall, and a former Lincoln
High star, has been working at
center, but the veteran Randall
will probably get the nod at that
position.
Don Fitz, junior guard is a fix
ture. Should Held stArt at center,
Charley Vacanti, sophomore from
Omaha Tech, will get the other
guard post. If Randall starts at
center, Held will probably get the
starting call at guard over Va
canti.
Hoy nervous.
Carl "Rube" Hoy, one of the
country's best fidgeters, coaches
the South Dakota team, which lost
44-30 to the Huskers last year,
but which lost a number of its
last year's stars inehuling May
nard Ingalls, great forward.
The Huskers will work out at
the ng college floor Friday be
cause of military ball activity in
the coliseum that day. Officials
for Saturday's gamej are Parke
Carroll of Kansas City and Guy
Best of Wayne.
