Cornhusker foes present big array of stars

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.

Shown above are two end candidates and a guard prospect re
porting to Coach W. H. Browne during a practice session. Left to
right are Jerry Kathol, Hartington; Charley Duda, South Sioux City;
Francis Greenlief, Hastings, and Coach Browne. The former two are
the new wingmen.
have a mighty mite in young Kd
gar Jones. Kd had his mind on
big league baseball last fall and
as a result proved a disappoint
ment to the Panther fans. 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.
Ralph Miller is the Kansas pride

Veterans fill

at all posts
Sophomores have hot
rhaiicfti at end,

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.
Graduation depleted the flank- '

Ashburn departed - and untried

Forrest Behm, 'Royal Kahler and

Schleich, Francis Leik. Bob Mc
Nutt and Ralph Whitehead will
keep the veterans on the alert.
As for the guards, the Huskers
will probably have the best pro
tectors of the middle of the line in
the middlewest. Warren Alfson re
ceived All-American mention last
year and Juniors Kd Schwattz
kopf and George Abel are on a
par with the best in the confer

will be found in Francis Greenlief.

Freshmen completed the first

versity Saturday as they took the
last of four classification tests in
the coliseum. Tests in English,
mathematics, scholastic aptitudes,
reading and study skills were
given to more than 1,500 fresh
men. This is the first time that
these tests have been administered
to all members of an entering
class at the same time.
All tests will be graded and re
sults will be available to faculty
advisors when they meet with
freshmen for individual confer
ences during registration Monday,
