By June Bierbower.
Probably the most significant
meaning of the college sports edi
tors all star football team pre
sented In today's DAILY, is that
it shows collitch writers read the
papers.
The boys who made the team,
almost without exception, are
players who received lots of pub
licity in early or midseason, and
since the ballots were mailed to
Bob Kunkel in Montana before the
last week in November, we poor
eds didn't get to see many all
star teams before balloting. So
the fellows with good publicity
agents the ones you read most
about this year, are the guys who
made the team.
It probably isn't so bad at that.
In fact, all the players on it have
made one or more teams, and
most of them have been on a
major share of the all teams.
In case you're interested, our
ballot agreed with the final first
team selections in seven places as
we picked Kavanaugh, Boyd,
Smith, Suffridge, Drahos, Harmon
and Kinnick. Washington and
Kimbrough were in our backfield,
Wenzel of Tulane at one end, and
Schliechl at center. Yes, we picked
the boys about whom we had read
the most, too. Our nominations
from the Husker team were
Rohrig, Seemann and Alfson the
editors couldn't vote for players
rom their own school on the two
teams they submitted. Seemann's
captaincy of the eighth team,
which, by the way, had Brock of
Purdue , Ison of Georgia Tech,
Sommers of UCLA, and Bergner
of Navy, meant that the Omahan
got more votes than any man
selected on that team.
Jack "Monk" Meyer, who has
been serving as a student manager
for the Husker gridders, is going
to give football a fling come spring
practice.
Meyer, who is in his fourth year
In school here, went to Omaha
Central, but had always been too
light to play football until now.
He weighs around 175, and the
Biffer had him doing the passing
against the varsity before the
Kansas game and some of the
sideliners who saw him said he
was the best long passer on the
field. He'll have lots of competi
tion out there next spring, but
says if he gets anywhere he'll
stay around next fall to play.
It's now certain that the Husk
ers had an invitation to the Cotton
Bowl game, Biff Jones having di
vulged the fact at Kansas City.
However, the Huskers didn't get
their invitation until after Okla--homa
had turned down their bid,
( and in view of that, and the fact
) that Nebraska's athletic council
is opposed to bowl game partici-
- pation for the Huskers, Jones
didn't even bother to present the
bid to the athletic board of control.
Why the Sooners should be
asked before the Huskers may be
a question, but it was probably
because the boys who did the ask
ing thought Oklahoma would fall
in line with their bowl ideas sooner
than Nebraska not because they
thought the Sooners were better
(pardon that one) than Nebraska.
But the Sooners fooled 'em, too
the Orange Bowl having taught
them a little lesson.
Second half
rally brings
victory
Nebraska wore down South Da
kota's Coyotes in the second half
last night to come through to an
easy 39-15 win in the opening
game of the season for both
teams.
Rube Hoy's team, playing with
out a substitute throughout more
than the first half, held the Husk
ers to a 12-10 lead at half-time,
but Nebraska with Al Randall
leading the way, ran away from
their tiring opponents as they
rolled up another dozen points in
the first seven minutes of play,
and coasted from there. The Coy
otes, who couldn't penetrate the
Husker defense, relied to a great
extent on shots from around the
foul circle, and could not score a
point during the first 16 min
utes of the second half, substitute
forward Albertson finally break
ing the scoring ice with the Coy
otes' first goal of the second half
after the Huskers had poured m
thirty-four.
First halt slow
The first half, although close,
was ragged and slow, with the
only excitement coming as the
South Dakotans matinee idol for
ward Quentin Evers poured in
three nice baskets to keep his
team in the running.
Browne started Harry Pitcaith
ley, Bud Tallman, Al Randall, Don
Fitz and Charley Vacanti in the
second half, and it was this team,
sparked by Randall and Fitz,
which pulled the Huskers out
ahead. Randall, who was held
scoreless in the first half, went
on a basket-making spree, and
piled up eleven points before he
was removed in the latter stages
of the game. Irv Yaffe, although
troubled with sore feet, took over
the Husker scoring after Randall,
getting seven points in short
order.
Fitz starred
Don fitz, Husker guard, who
got eight points, played the best
game of the evening, while Charley
Vacanti, sophomore guard, looked
good.
Twenty-five men saw service in
the game, thirteen of them Husk'
ers. Browne used eleven men in
the first half as against the five
iron men of the Coyotes Snider,
Evers, Ptak, Taplett and Cadwell,
and the pace began to tell after
the intermission.
A grand total of thirty-two free
shots were missed sixteen on
each side. One came as forward
Snider of the visitors held the
ball too long as he stood to shoot
and it went to the Huskers out
of bounds. Guard Bob Taplett of
South Dakota missed seven free
throws alone, and didn't make one,
Snider and his substitute, Jacob-
sen, were both removed on fouls
in the second half. Randall, Fitz
and Yaffe led the Husker scoring
while Evers' six was best for the
visitors.
