We don't know exactly how they
figure it, but according to the
Azzl-Uatcm system Nebraska ia
just seven points better than Indi
ana. . . Both teams were beaten
in their initial ntarts last Satur
day by a touchdown apiece. . .
The Hooslert have an air attack
that splits the football atmosphere
and the Huskers are supposedly
weak against the overhead bom
bardments. . .
Also, according to the rankings
by William F. Boand, we find that
Michigan, Ohio State, and Minne
sota, in that order, are the top
teams in the nation. . . Not bad
for the Big Ten league, eh? . , .
Indiana marked up 15 first
downs to 9 by Texas last week
11 coming by benefit of the pass
play. . . But the Hoosier ground
attack was held to almost a stand
still as only 11 yards were gained
by rushing. . .
One cheerful note to remember
about the Gopher game last Satur
day is that there was only one
fumble that by the Golden Horde.
. . . Let's hope the Huskers can
keep that non-fumbling record m
tact at least until after this Indi'
ana engagement. . .
The Hoosiers have only one mar
rled man on the Indiana squad. .
He is Bill Tlpmore, senior end and
back. . . The Huskers have six
players who have ball and chains
helping do the extra curricular
quarterbacklng. . .
Marital gridders are Henry
Rohn, fullback: we brothers Kan
ler, Bob the halfback, and Royal
the tackle; Harry Hopp, half
back; Clarence Herndon, tackle,
and Roy Petsch, quarterback. .
King Kong is about to become a
pappy very soon. . .
Candidates for freshman foot
ball at Kansas State total 112. .
Coach Gwinn Henry at Kansas
was better known as a trackman
in college rather than a gridder.
At Howard Payne, he ran the
100 yard dash In 9.6 seconds and
the furlong in :22.2. . .
Lincoln Stewart. Iowa State
starting halfback, didn't play high
school football. . . Forrest Behm,
Nebraska's game captain against
Minnesota, wasn't a regular during
his prep career at Lincoln nign. .
Bob Jones, sports editor of the
Wichita student newspaper, sug
gests a scheduled game between
A.rmi inH Sinn 'Sinn nrlson. . .
The outcome would tell which is
stronger the pr, or tne sworo.
Ooooooo! ...
Coach Leo "Dutch" Meyer of
Texas Christian has seen hi
Horned Frogs play in three bowl
games in his six years of coach
ing at T. C. U. . . And they have
won every one of those post season
encounters, too. . .
This corner still wishes that the
"Detroit Tigers those nine old men
had beaten the Cincinnati Reds
for the 1940 World Series crown.
. . . Any team that can beat the
New York Yankees after a four
year monopoly on the American
league title is good enough for
yours truly. . .

King football's first public
Notre Dame's
By George Abbott.
Of all the things by which
Knute Roc.kne can be remembered
- his nationally famous football
teams his revolutionary innova
tion of the forward pass into the
gam e h i s improved backfield
shift his coaching psychology
perhaps the brightest spot in his
coaching career lies in the fact
that he developed one of football's
all time greats.
Glpp was his name, George
Gipp, and to his friends, the Great
American Public, he was "The
Gipper."
Coming to Notre Dame in 1917,
Glpp was to roam the gridirons
of the nation playing a sensa
tional game always, and just as
consistently taking it in his quiet,
h e 1 f - r e 1 i ant, take-it-or-leave-it
manner, his way of playing foot
ball, his way of living.
Leads Notre Dame.
It was Gipp who gave to foot
ball its first Public Hero. It was
Gipp who packed in the crowds
as Notre Dame rolled ever onward
and upward on the Victory Trail.
The years 1917-1919 presented the
nonchalant "Gipper" as the spear
head of the Irish attack. The
crowds, the magnificent record of
the team during those years, the
rise of Notre Dame into the minds
of the football-mad spectators who
saw the games; all of these were
a magnificent tribute to Gipp
and to his coach and friend
Rockne.
As his life had a story book be
ginning, it also had a tragic, al
most heart breaking finale.
Confined to a hospital with a
throat infection following one' of
Sig Nus, DUs lead
Thursday I-M play
Thursday night was compara
tively calm in regard to intramural
football games. There were four
games scheduled but of these only
two were played. League 3 had
only one tilt for which to account,
Sigma Nu against Zeta Beta Tau.
Sigma Nu won 19-0 with Anawalt,
Chandler and Truelson doing the
bulk of the scoring.
League 4 had three games to be
played but as a result of Pi Kappa
Alpha forfeiting to Sigma Phi Ep
silon and both Sigma Alpha Ep
silon and Delta Theta Pi not show
ing up to play their game, there
was only the fray between Delta
Upsilon and Theta XI.
The D. U.'s came out on the
long end of a 19-7 score. Weekes
was on the flipping end of three
passes that resulted in all the win
ner's touchdowns. He threw to
Pankonin, Saalfeldt and Adklns to
outdo the Theta Xi desperate
passes, one of which did connect
for the loser's score.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (ACP).
"Japanese students at the Univer
sity of Hawaii are the most rabid
Americans I've ever met no sym
pathy at all for what Japan is do

That is the report of Dean Ernst
Bessey of th graduate school at
Michigan state college, who has
just returned from a year's leave
spent as visiting professor at the
island university.

his sensational games, seemingly
in no great danger, Gipp suddenly
became seriously ill.
The hospital was still as still
as death itself. Last rites had Just
been administered by a priest, the
weeping mother had Just been led
away.
"Win one for me."
Rockne, with a telegram In his
hand, stood silently by the bed
of his beloved pupil. "George..."
he said at last softly, "You'll like
this, George. .. .It's from Walter
Camp. .. .You've been named as
fullback on the All-American
team...."
Gipp smiled faintly and whisp
ered, "Fine... but I've got to go,
Boucher makes
golf fast game
Chancellor C. S. Boucher of the
University of Nebraska has an an
swer for those who say golf is a
lazy man's game. He figures his
game on time, not strokes, and his
best around-the-course record Is
an hour and 50 minutes. He stays
in the 70's despite his dog-trot be
tween shots.
Editor's note.
The above story came from the
Associated Collegiate Press. Where
they got their information Is a
mystery. Perhaps Mr. Boucher
knows.
Hiusker harriers
race against Iowa
State on Saturday
Nebraska's two milers will go
to the mark for the first time this
fall season Saturday morning at
10:30 a. m. The Husker opponent
will be Iowa State and the race
will be held at the stadium.
Coach Ed Weir predicts a new
Husker record which would lieat
Fred Matteson's mark of 9:40.3
set several years ago. Weir has
two runners capable of beating
this mark. Bob Ginn of Madison
and Harold Brodks of Gothenburg
are the possible record breakers.
Nebraska's quartet of two mil
en will come from this group:
Brooks, Ginn, Bill Cook, North
Loup; Dale Garrells, Diller; Arden
Kedsay, Ghand Island; Jim Brogen,
Tilden and Harlan Culwell, Lincoln.

That was the spirit of Notre
Dame the spirit of the Fighting
Irish which still lives.
With those words George Gipp
passed into the Great Beyond. But,
perhaps., .undoubtedly, as he
watches from his place... wher
ever it may be, the Gipper does
know about it and is happy.

t. u. a. patint orrief
secutive Big Ten school for
the
Huskers to meet this season.
Leading the Cornhuskers on
Saturday will be Co-Captains Her
man Rohrlg, Lincoln halfback, and
Warren Alfson, Wisner guard, who
are both seniors and have gained
national recognition for their grid-'
iron prowess.
Indiana's attack will be built
around two expert passers by the
names of Harold Hursh and Sub
stitute McGuire. Coach Bo McMil
lin's boys have a vaunted air pa
rade ready for the Huskers.
However, in response, Coach
Biff Jones may have his boys do
a little passing on their own part.
The trio of Harry Hopp, Herman
Rohrig and Dale Bradley may not
toss the long ones but those short
completed ones eat up yardage,
too.
Nebraska has a score to settle
with the Hoosiers. In the last two
seasons, the Hoosiers have held
Nebraska to two ties. It was a
scoreless deadlock in 1938 and a
7-7 tie last year.
This marks the fifth meeting
between the two teams. Harrison
Sam'l" Francis sparked the 1936
victory over the Hoosiers in a last
half drive, while Jack Dodd ran
some 65 yards on the first play
from scrimmage in the 1937 bat
tle.
Both teams will be out for their
first win of the season. Texas de
feated Indiana 13-6 last week
while Minnesota edged past the
Cornhuskers, 13-7.
Biff is not sure of his lineup
for the Saturday clash. Quarter
back Bus Knight has a bad shoul
der and ankle and has not taken
part in any contact work as yet
Vike Francis scrimmaged Thurs
day for the first time this week
due to a bad ankle which was
holding him down.
Yesterday, Roy Petsch and
Theos Thompson were handling
tne varsity signal calling duties.
Leonard Muskin, moved up from
tne seconds and will start at the
left tackle spot. Harry Hopp may
give way to Hermie Rohrig for
the initial kickoff Saturday as
Hermie is co-captain.
In Thursday's drills, the Husk
ers went thru their own plays and
scrimmaged against Indiana plays
which were being run by the fresh
men and the scout club, or A. J.
Lewandowskl's fifth teamers.
The varsity will go by bus. Fri
day afternoon, after practice to
Camp Ashland where the Biffer
will keep the Huskers over night.
Bo McMillin's Hoosiers will ar
rive In Omaha at 10 this morning
and will work out in the Creigh
ton stadium at 2:30 in the after
noon. The Hoosiers will stay over
night in Omaha.
