KM I M fly ! t-1 JL x H l B' I c s lue 'ceuler' f attraction . i i r : f L.E 1 ' A few "Sunday afternoon bas ketball coaches" were complaining a couple of weeks ago about Ne braska's cage team. Since the up surge in the Husker court sport, the disfavoring talk has been dis carded. Many said that the best basket ball players in this university weren't even out for the sport. By this thev were referring to some ' members of the football squad who were high school stars on the maples. Some even suggested a game be tween the football "basketballers" and the Husker varsity. They even predicted that the outcome would be in favor of the men from the stadium sod. Those statements are a trifle far-fetched. Consider what the footballers would be up against. First these pigskin artists have not been drilled by a university coach on cage play since leaving prep school. Secondly, they have not been col lectively used to a set style of de fense and attack. Thirdly, it take3 daily drills md long hours of prac tice to perfect your basket-shooting eye. And lastly, there would be a minimum number of foot ballers to fill their lineup and to hold in reserve for replacement In contrast to the footballers, the basketball team is receiving the foregoing requirements in which the pigskin artists would be lacking. Names prominent on the foot ball roster as cagers are: Bus Knight, Harry Hopp, Hermie Roh rig, Vike Francis, Henry Rohn, Fred Metheny, Dale Bradley, Fred Preston, and Ray Prochaska. Hopp would not be available as he is poing to St. Petersburg, Fla., with the St. Louis Cardinal ball nine. Hopp is probably the best player of those named above. Francis and Rohn have dropped from school for this semester. Bus Knight hasn't participated in basketball to any great degree since hia high school days. Rohrig has devoted his playing to intra murals aa has Preston. Metheny, Bradley, and Prochas ka were never great prep stars but were steady performers on their high school clubs. Consider all of these facts, you "Sunday afternoon basket ball coaches," and you may change your mind when you begin talking thru your col lective hats about the foot ballers being better basketball players than the Cornhusker cage varsity itself.
