Time has arrived, as the walrus
says, for the nation's various grid
iron "experts" to expound, dis
sertate, and in short "blow up"
prospects over the country.
Most accurate grid magazine of
the lot is the Norman Sper publi
cation, replete with individual
game statistics. Prof. Sper delves
thoroly into the mechanism of the
current Husker machine, then
sums it up with:
"The fight for second place hon
ors in the Big Six conference will
be between Nebraska and Okla
homa with the Cornhuskcrs edg
ing the Sooners out of the place
spot. At center, right tackle, and
fullback, no experienced player is
available. Last years squad showed
a deficiency in defending against
forward passes and their rushing
defense could be improved. With a
predominately junior squad Ne
braska should field a better team
this year and hang on to place
honors behind Missouri."
Pictorial yearbook and the foot
ball annual, more gaudy an
nals of gTidom, both anticipate a
comeback for the Huskers. Our
Fred Ware in the Annual hints at
a potential firewagon: "There's
the meat and muscle here for a
team of typical Nebraska style
and standard, and these boys may
travel faster and higher than com
parative specifications now would
indicate.
Wilton Hazzard's description of
Vic S.Hleich, star Husker tackle,
in the Annual hkmwmim
is torrid. Ac
cording to Haz
zard, Vic is
"oak legged,
cask torsoed,
and kewpie-fac-ed."

Freshman footballers with
Coach "Bill" Pfeiff at the helm
charting the coarse, will swing
into their first official practice
session Friday afternoon after a
preliminary meeting and physical
examinations Thursday.
Freshman training quarters are
located in the east end of the
new Field House with the 142 can
didates slated to go through their
paces on the frosh field northeast
of the Field House. Football suits
will be issued to all newscomers
all day, Friday, at the showing
of an identification card.
Sideline Slants . .
Anticipating Iowa's heavy
aerial threat, Maestro Glenn
Presnell devoted a majority of
yesterday's drill to defending
against aerials.
Presnell had every Husker
marksman on the firing line,
flagging the ball out to the
ends. Particularly ejecessful
among the Husker backs were
Howard Debus, Roy Long and
Dick Thompc:-. Diminutive
Dick Thompson whipped the
ball out with vengence, hitting
nearly 50 percent of his tar
gets. Varsity pivot, Forrie Back
man again favored his chipped
elbow and viewed the proceed
ings from the sidelines.

"Antelope geared."
Vic also performed such miscel
laneous tasks as "making rubble
of entire segments of defenses"
and "arriving in the opposing
backfield ahead of the ball." These
Huskers are a super race!
In serene definance of rubber
rationing, the old Husker rubber

from a kibitzer setting.
Ccrman Herman was trimly clad
in his aviation cadet uniform,
which emphasized army condition
ing. Hermie claimed he is down
to 180, 15 pounds lighter than his
Cornhusker days.
"Haven't seen much actual army
work yet, tho," grinned Herm,
"Been too busy playing football."
He played against his old Husker
cohort, Harry Hopp, in the recent
Army-Detroit Lion fracas. "Boy
those kids are big" said the for
mer All-Big Six halfback, with
eyes on Sehleich and Eisenhart,
"I'd almost be afraid to mix with
'em."

Freshmen are urged by Head
man "Bill" Pfeiff, Freshman coach
to consult the athletic department
on any of their university prob
lems. Pfeiff also stated the ad
mittance to Nebraska varsity foot

times his name will be on the

a ticket. Freshman footballers are
also banned from competition in
the intramural league.

no matter how minor or trivial, a
player should see the trainer
promptly. The Student Health de

Carrying on bravely, I met a
zig-zag course. Frankly, I zagged
when I should have zigged and
was fagged when I should have
zagged. Rolling under another six
foot barrier, I decided that this
traveling forward on back and

be boresome and perhaps even tir

Hitting two stationary dummies
with crushing blocks, I did more
zag-zigging. I dived into the tack

the canvas bag remarked, "And
they call me a dummy." Over
looking this cutting slur I tripped
lightly down the hill twisting my
ankle. 1 now realized that there

run back up the incline.
The gridiron candidates that I
had watched always run on the
length of the field and into the
fieldhouse. However, I was carried
from that spot to the student in
firmary by a tackle and a full
back. I am resting quietly, I can
wiggle my big toes as they are
neither in a cast nor a bandage
