DAILY NEBRASKAN September 16, 1940 Cornhusker foes present big array of stars 18 Jacobs, Hursli, Christman to bear watching Satelites of last y'ar develop into triple threat artists By Bill Flory. While Coach Biff Jones ami his N-'braska Cotnhuskers are busily preparing for the season cam paign, several other Big Six teams, as well as non-conference teams, are grooming star studded lineups which show all indications of giv ing the Scarlet and Cream several bothersome Saturday afternoons. Leading the assault on the sod of Memorial stadium will be Pitchin' Paul Christman, our neighbor from the "show me" state of Missouri. If not bothered by that slow mending baseball in jury of last summer, the Blond Bomber of Columbia is slated to pick up where he left off last term. In addition, Paul added accurate kicking and a thirst for scamper ing goalward and six points. Out ahead of Paul there is destined to be another guard of the Waldorf variety. Jack Crocker, 180 pounds of crushing power reminds Mis sourians of Waldorf with his sparkling downfield blocking. Jacobs Fleet Indian. The Creek Indian tribe has do nated the services of another of the clan in the person of Jack Jacobs, who has followed Stadium Stidham to Oklahoma. Nebras ka ns Inst fall saw a closelv watched Jacobs on the throwing end of the only Sooner points in that game in which the Huskers did atoout as they pleased. The Cornhuskers tour northward to Minnesota where they will have j their hands full holding down j George Franck and Bruce Smith, j r rancK is a speeosier wno runs the century in 9.7. Franck also averaged a trifle over five yards per tiy in piling up a total of 392 yards in 1939. For a little deception the Minne sotans will back Franck with Bruce Smith, a triple threater of the old school. Six foot one and 3 90 pounds all of which spells thunder on the gridiron that's Smith. A nemesis to power plays in the line will be Iron Mike Enich, left tackle deluxe of Iowa. A great aid to Nile Kinnick last term, Mike is sure to be springing fleet backs such as Bill Green and Al Couppee into enemy pay dirt. Harold Hursh of Indiana, like Christman, throws a mean ball at receiving ends. Harold completed on the average of 118 yards per game last fall and this year re ports have it that he will be better than ever. The mighty men of Pitt, altho not as mighty as they once were.

A flyer on the order of Goldberg, Jones is set on making up for lost time this fall. Kansas State will present Kent Duwe for post season honors. Duwe easily fiiled the shoes of "One Man Gang" Hackney last term. Iowa State boasts of Tom my Smith, a worthy rival of Paul Christman should the latter show signs of slipping in repartee.

Eyes of Cornhusker football fans will be focused again not on one football team but two and three Husker elevens. As last year, Coach Biff Jones intends to use x two teams and the third will bo largely composed of sophomores. ' Those not familiar with the Jones style of employing gridders will find that the Biffer uses two j teams. The distinction between the first and second teams is very slim as Jones uses the two elevens interchangeable each quarter dur- j ing the course of a game. J And this year, the Biffer may send in his third team (sopho inoresl as a complete unit in many j of the grid battles. ! Two "first" teams. The two "first" teams are not entirely selected but it appears that only a few sophomores will be playing on the first two elevens. Best chances for apprentices to crowd out veterans for positions are at end, guard and fullback.
