That ol' Debbii Injury may
play havoc with our Comhuskers
at the rate some of the physical
tniHhips are coming into being...
Now injuries are creeping into
the Husker fold... Not exactly se
rious misfortunes as yet, but if
they increase the bright outlook
will become much more dim... A
few wrenching of valuable knees
and turned ankles will cause less
playing, naturally. . .
.
The quarterback situation, right
now, has been hardest hit... Two
letter-men are on the so-called hos
pital sile of the ledger... Roy
"Cowboy" Petsch will be out for
a week with a wrenched knee
and Theos Thompson is being:
bothered by a bad ankle... At
tackle, Royal "King Kong" Kahler
is taking all practices light...
Baseball (major league, that is)
U an odd sport... When you are
winning, you are sitting on top of
the world... When you are losing,
your job isn't worth paying your
next month's rent in advance
On Wednesday, the New York
Giants had just lost their tenth
consecutive game. . .Rumors will
Boon start to fly about how un
settled Manager Bill Terry's posi
tion actually is. . .In fact, this may
be the year for him to receive the
axe... But he isn't the only major
league pilot with shaky underpin
nings, as Fred Haney of the
Browns, Do' Prothro of tbe Phil
lies, and Oscar Vitt, chief of the
Indian tribe of "bawl babies" has
not been assured of a job for
1941. ..
Sport hash: A father-son catch
ing combination n at work in the
National league. . .Jimmy Wilson,
coach of the Cincinnati Reds, has
hts son serving as batting practice
catcher. . .Colorado college has
the heaviest tonnage among
Rocky Vountain coaches. .. Bully
Van de Graaff and hie new lieu
tenar.f. Clark de Groote, are at
tempting to train down to about
240 each for the coming cam
paign,.. Humor note (?????): When
Coaches Paddy Driscoll of Mar
quette and Pete Cawthon of Texas
Tech sat at a ehinfest in Chicago
the other day, Paddy got the drop
on the colorful southwestern men
tor who will bring his Red Raiders
to Milwaukee on October 26...
"Pete, you'd better start worry
Inq," chirped the Marquette coach.
"That hotel where your team will
Stay in Milwaukee only has regulation-sized
doors so rt looks like
the boys may have to sleep in
the street"...
Indiana looms
as Husker's

Bo McMillin's Indiana squad
should go places this year with
tyo experienced forward walls and
Hurlin' Hal Hursh, veteran triple
threater. The Hoosier's meet the
Huskers here this year, Oct. 12.
Indiana takes
n Dana Bible's
Texas Long
horns the pre
vious Saturday
and should
have their
hands full stop
ping Jack
Crain, speedy
junior back.
The Hoosiers'
s c h e d u le, al
ways a tough
one, is no ex
ception t h i 3
year.
Bo's boys
play at home only three times and
the recipients of Hoosier hospital
ity will be Texas, Iowa and Mich
igan State. The Huskers are their
first foes away from home and the
other four are Northwestern, Ohio
State, Wisconsin and Purdue.
Potent Big Ten eleven.
Indiana opened the 1939 season
with a tie with Nebraska and went
on to win two and lose four. But
the Hoosiers can be counted on to
turn the tables this year and
should be a strong contender for
the Big Ten title.
With Hursh heaving passes be
hind veteran linemen, the Indiana
air attack should be exceptionally
effective. Hursh was the leading
passer of the Big Ten last year
and should be able to hit the arms
of the ends for more than one
touchdown this season.
Dale Swlhart, Earl Doloway and
Mickey McGuire can furnish first
aid in forward passing Swlhart, a
quarterback, may be the first
sophomore to crash the first
string, due to Tuffy Brooks' leg in
jury. Another on the injured list
is Frank Smith, 200 pound tackle
who pu'led a tendon Tuesday,
A star in Hal Hursh.
The so-called experts are rating
Indiana among the leaders this
year, and are doing anything but
overestimating their power. Mc
Millin can be counted on to have
a crushing attack with his 17 k?t
termen, two capable lines and de
pendable Hal Hursh.
Sunday: Kansas.
Large numbers of
frosh footballers
checking out suits
Frosh practice turned into the
second day with increasing num
bers of men or deck. Newcomers
on the field were Howard Debus
of Lincoln and big Art Lincoln of
North Platte. Both of the boys
received various flattering men
tions last year. New face to Ne
braska fans is Harold Bennington
of Kvanston, 111. Harold is a guard
of the short stocky type, and will
bear watching.
In from Scottsbluff are Jerry
Hooper and his mate of AH-State
fame, George Wright. The Gru
baugh threesome Marvin, Alvin,
and Dick of Rising City, were
very much in evidence. Leo Lewis,
the hard running back from Al
liance also put in an appearance.
