Now for football: Jm Yeager,
says of his Iowa State football
team, '"We won't be champs but
we might beat anybody.
The Cyclones are going to have
greater speed, more power, more
reserves, and a little more weight,
according to reports from Ames.
They'll be definitely better, but, as
has been said before, every other
team in the conference will be, too.
Even though Iowa State has a
letterman for every position, and
a half-dozen others, there are sev
eral new men who may step into
regular positions, of. whom 190
pound halfback Paul Darling is
the standout. He has a good
chance to get a first team block
ing back position over letterman
Joe Taylor, who is a sprinter on
the track team and Lincoln Ste
wart. The right tackle spot will go to
a newcomer, too. Leonard Thomas
of Virginia, Minnesota, and Bill
Barger, both frosh, were the best
men at that position in spring
workouts and one of them will get
the call next fall.
Three lettermen are back at
ends, and one of them is Doug
Graves, who doubles as a ?talf
miler in track. John Heggen,
hurdler and Jean Lange are back,
too. .
The left tackle will be Bernie
Mickelson, a sophomore last year,
while Capt. Tom Smith, and La
Verne Lewis will be guards. An
other Minnesotan, Bob Kirkpatrick
of Austin, will be at center.
Hank Wilder is back, and he
looks ready for the fullback post.
However, Merle Osborne, who
played there last year is return
ing and Wilder may go back to
halfback. However Don Griswold
is a pretty sure bet In the back
field and that leaves only the
quarterback spot open. Bob Sea
burg will be back again, but a
Northwestern transfer, Larry
Owens, is pushing him.
That backfield should be one of
the Big Six's best, since Wilder
could play ball In any league. Os
borne gave the Huskera plenty of
trouble last year ,and so did Sea
burg. The 'Huskera haven won
a really decisive victory over Ames
since that 34-0 deluge in 1936.
Nebraska's second annual high
school baseball tournament gets
under way at nine this morning,
as prep diamond teams go into
action for the first day of a three
day meet Twenty games are to
be played in all, Thursday.
Championships will be awarded
in three divisions, Classes A, B,
and C Omaha Central, who won
the one-class meet last year, will
encounter stiff competition this
spring, especially from Omaha
South, Tech, and Creighton Prep.
Six Class A games, eight Class
B titles, and six games in Class C
are scheduled on the three Husker
diamonds and Muny field. The Ag
college and Lincoln High diamonds
