BY CHRIS PETERSEN.
The proverbial potpourri of fate cooked up a wicked stew for
Nebraska football of the 1941 vintage yesterday when Major "Biff"
Jones opened his morning mail to find himself once again in the army.
With his orders tucked under his arm, the "Biffer" will board a
train Wednesday for the Army College in Washington, leaving behind
him a large question mark in the troubled minds of every grid-fan in
Husker land. The number one query on sports pages over the country
Is WHO will take over the coaching reins at a school noted for its
consistently good elevens.
Complete surprise.
Jones said the orders to report for active duty came as a complete
surprise to him. "I expected to be called sometime, but I had not
planned on receiving my papers for at least a year," remarked the Ne
braska mentor of four years past.
The board of regents, through Chancellor Boucher will open appli
cations for the coaching position. Until that time, when a successor
is chosen for the army's gift to football, Assistant Coach Roy "Link"
Lyman will be in charge of spring practice.

Formal announcement has been

Mary Rosborough has recently
added another name to her col
lection of gym acrobatic title. She
is now conductress of a local choir.
Jeanette Mickey was asked to
resign as WAX president. Reasons
for the requested resignation were
stated to be as follows:
1. Lack of interest in WAA
and sports.
2. Frivolous conduct on the
campus which is not fitting to
position which she held.
3. Inability to cooperate with
university authorities.
Miss Montgomery has announced
her intentions of ceasing work on

by the FBI agents comes too late,
and that nothing will now be able
to prevent the submersion of our
civilization in a bloody halocast of
international war this spring. The
confessions of Grant Reed, asso

tipped Hitlef off on the success
of his tactics against the Greeks
a year ago, and has had much to
do with Der Fuehrers Greek bel

Ited was helping the cause, it was
rumored, by instigating a split in

Nebraska's tennis chances have

'Biff shakes
team well
befoi
e using
By Bill Palmer.
In a drastic shift of players dur
ing a 17 hour scrimmage Mon
day Coach "Biff" Jones changed
the position of every man on the
squad.
Bob McNutt, 250 pound first
string tackle, was shifted to left
halfback where his open field run
ning and speed can best be dis
played. Vike Francis requested and was
granted the right to play center
because the Count said, "I feel
that I'm in the limelight too much
when I play as fullback and the
publicity attached does not agree
with my modest and retiring na
ture." 46-50 or fight
Jones said that he plans to fol
low the two team system next
year and that he has some new
candidates including Gen Harmon,
Ann Thomas and Flossie Perkins.
With these players the team will
have the best lines seen on the
Cornhu8ker turf in man years.
Injuries in the Monday scrim
mage were numerous due to the
fact that the student managers
had left all the university athletic
equipment in a local pawn shop.
Besides the equipment the man
agers took 23 cents and Francis'
false teeth.
A stitch in time!
Because he is aided by a cast
on his broken right hand, Jack
Hazen, end candiate, was trans
ferred to the backfield to star as
a right-handed passer.
Present for the drill was Eddie
Schwartskopf, stellar guard who
is with the National Guard at Fort
Robinson, Ark. Ed sneaked out of
camp for practice and said that he
would leave the fort a.w.o.1 every
day so that he might compete
with the Cornhuskers.
Casualties and injuries in the
scrimmage included: Major Jones,
seven ribs and a little toenail;
Charlie Chaplin, a nazi moustache;
Wayne Blue, his color; Clarence
Hern don, a dislocation and double
fracture of the hzexhopteflcso
what; and 911 other players too
dead to mention.
Pesek takes

John Pesek, Nebraska's pereniel
heavyweight wrestling champion,
has been named to the Corn
huskcr coaching staff, the board
of regents announced Monday
night
The Tigerman will take over
head duties of the grappling team
as soon as the wrestlers complete
their 1941 season under the spon
sorship of Jerry Adam.
Remember the Alamo.
The wrestlers are now defend
ing their national title at Lehigh,
Pa. The meet is over for the col
legiate title, but the grapplers are
still defending themselves.
That is, the grapplers have their
collective shoulders to the mat
and are taking on all comers. Herb
"The Blimp" Jackman, the 250
pound blood-sweating behemoth,
is a sure bet for national honors.

to defend the former footballer's

letter on a closed subject
Dear Public
(Both of you)
By the grace of God and a
longhandled spoon, your exsports
editor has finally regained his
eligibility level.
During the past few weeks,
yours truly has been diligently and
enthusiastically catching up on his
studies to regain the favor of the
eligibility high moguls.
Pain-staking studying and deep
research work, that nearly planted
one J. Evinger in the ranks of the
Phi Beta Kappas, brought about
this reversal of form and planted
once again yours truly on this
hyar page.
Those late nights were the fir
ing of the old scholastic spirit
The midnight oil was burned over
time. It was eat, sleep, and think
studies all the time. No more
horse-play or time-outs for a mo
mentary "coke." It was all busi
ness and no play. This "Jack" is
now a dull boy (as the old saying
goes) but once again we are in
the good graces of the eligibility
censors.
It was an uphill battle all the
way. The first test was really
rough. But from then on the work
became easier. The more study,
the easier the work became.
Gone are those cruises around
the campus (and the library). It's
study, study, study and more edit
ing the sports page again.
Ah, what a feeling to be elegiWe
again. Nothing like this studying
dear reader (s). It's the life. More
