Metheny's Bad
Shoulder Top
Husker Worry
Mentor Glen Presneil guided his
Cornhusker gridmen through their
final paces prior to the Indiana
fray yesterday.
Biggest question on the Husker
front dealed with Fred Metheny's
lame shoulder. Freddy was jog
ging around in sweat clothes with
Ki Eisenhart, varsity fullback who
Js nursing a sore leg.
Eisenhart's leg pains him when
he runs full speed, but the team
doctor indicated that he should be
in shape by game time. Presneil
said that he would start Hazen
and Thompson, ends; McNutt and
Schleich, tackles; Von Goetz and
Stranathan, guards; Partington,
center; Metheny or Cooper, quar-

terback; Zikmund and Bradley,
halves; and Eisenhart, fullback.
After conducting a practice at
Soldiers Field in Chicago enroute,
Indiana will travel directly to Lin
coln. Previous Hoosier jaunts to
Lincoln have been via Omaha,
where the Hoosiers practiced on
the Creighton U. turf.
Winless Sooner
Team To Engage
Ruthless Texas
NORMAN, Okl., Oct. 8. Still
scoreless, Oklahoma's war-crippled
football team goes doggedly
into its third game of the 1942 sea
son Saturday, engaging Coach
Dana X. Bible's strong Texas
Steers in the Dallas Cotton Bowl.
Fast and spirited, Texas will
cruelly pressure Coach Dewey
"Snorter" Luster's red-panted
Sooners with a running game that
flowed to the fantastic net yard
age total of 529 yards against Kan
sas State and 288 yards against
the Corpus Christi Air Base, as
Bible's Oranges rolled up 64 to 0
and 40 to 0 scores.

Indiana and Nebraska will swap
touchdowns on the Memorial Stad
ium greensward tomorrow on the
day annually designated as Corn
husker homecoming.
It's the day when Bill Alum, his
wife Sally, and little Bill return to
the old alma mater. .Big Bill visits
the fraternity, does a stint of
back-slapping, tips a few then
migrates to the big game Sally
trips over to see the sisters.
There's a tear in the air as Bill's
wife greets the girls. "Remember
when" is the byword of the day
and Bill and Sally wish vaguely
that Father Time would retract
ten years. Little Bill Junior stares
with wonderment at the whole
thing. He thought the game was
the big attraction.
Joe and Sally note a large dif
ference between the current home
coming and past treks back. In
stead of the giant displays in front
of the houses, there are giant dis
plays of another variety scrap.
Sally thinks its a shame to
sacrifice the beautiful displays, but
Joe informs her that there's a war
raging and it's the patriotic thing
to do. Junior dives into a scrap
pile for what looks like a still-
usable scooter.
Unless Freddy Mctheny's lame
shoulder recovers full usefulness
prior to game time, the prize
Husker 'hard luck" athlete wili
bid for his place in the sun.
We refer to Roy Long, triple-
threat third string quarterback.
Roy battled thruout the 1941
season with Howard Debus for the
second team left half position.
Debus blossomed out this fall to
the extent where Roy, too good
for bench duty, was shifted to
third strinq quarter, behind Me
theny and Cooper.
Iron-men Metheny and Cooper
rarely need relief, so in two games
this term Long has exactly four
minutes playing times to his
credit. Long's' worth can be re
flected by the late-game murmur
which ran through the press box:
"Why don't they use Long?"
A hearty back-slap is herewith
appied to the broad shoulders ot
Chuck Wright, second team
Husker tackle. For his scholastic
excellence and character, the
studious gridder merited Ben
Simons' $100 scholarship. He
missed the Cyclone game to take
entrance exams to Annapolis.
Sports editor of the Indiana
Daily Student, Ed Anglepopulius
(no fooling!) tells us that -Billy
Hillenbrand has added reason for
scampering amuck against the
Huskers.
Ed writes that Billy bought his
pinnea" cutie a diamond Wednes
day to make the engagement offi
cial. Tm dedicating Saturday's
performance to her," says Billy.
Heavy Scoring
Expected From
Hoosiers, UN
By" Henry Fishbach.
Looming as a wild scoring touch
down parade, the Indiana-Nebraska
struggle unravels itself tomor
row afternoon in Memorial sta
dium as the most wide open game
in the midwest.
Grid experts this week were
slightly divided on the outcome but
none doubted that the classic
would break into a literal scoring
rash.
Ranked as the fifth highest scor
ing eleven in the nation, offensive
minded Indiana topped by All
American Billy Hillenbrand has hit
the scoring beam for 78 points in
two battles while the Cornhuskers
recovered from a shaky start in
the opener to score 26 points.
Nebraska and the Hoosiers
stormed the point column for five
touchdowns last autumn and para
doxically as it may seem the main
stars of the '41 brawl Hillenbrand
and Jacoby of Indiana and Zik
mund and Bradley of Nebraska re
turn and when they start unwind-
ing, run for cover.
Triple-Threat Attack.
Bo McMillin's cohorts present
a triple manned assault. Not only
wil the Hoosiers unleash Hillen
brand and Jacoby but will spring
the high scoring sensation, Cowen,
a threat from any place on the
ifeld. The complete success of the
Husker dragnet laid to stop the
threesome is doubted by most experts.
Few would bet against tne corn
huskers when they dig into their
own Memorial stadium sod on any
other Saturday for three years
from '38 to '41 the Nebraskans
failed to drop a game until an
afternoon last October Indiana
turned the trick that afternoon.
Potential Offensive Power.
Respect ofr the Huskers on the
offensive was evident as McMillin
drilled his charges this week to
cover-up the passes of Bradley and
Metheny and thwart the thrusts or
the elusive Zikmund. Fully realiz
ing that Bradley and "Zik" on a
hot day form a pair of touchdown
twins experts won't sell the Husk
ers short itnhe scoring column.
Laborers
(Continued from Page 1)
for faculty co-operation in this
matter, Dean Thompson called a
meeting of the various deans of
colleges and PMS & T of the
ROTC corps. At this meeting it
was decided to co-operate by al
lowing the students leaves of ab
sence to accept employment on
such projects, upon farms and in
other vital work.
Public announcement of the uni
versity project was made in Mon
day's Daily, but in the meantime
there was indecision in the ranks
of the army engineers. This was
cleared up by their announcement
of a policy of hiring no students
on federally sponsored projects in
the state.
On Short Term.
Dean Thompson explained that
one of the factors that influenced
the army in making its decision on
the matter was the fact that the
university is already on a short
ened term and that unless stu
dents could work for a two to
three weeks period, they would not
help in alleviating the situation too
greatly.
The dean went on to point out
that this does not, however, hold
in farm work. In the case of
farm labor, it can be used all fall
and if students wish to they can
get Jobs close by on Saturday and
Sunday working.
. MU6t File Name.
All those who wish to obtain a
leave for a week or more may file
their abilities and desires at the,
office of the dean of student af
fairs where they will be checked.
After that, an attempt will be
made to place them in jobs which
they can fill.
Dean Thompson reminded au
those who were desirous of ob
taining their type of employment
to first make sure that they wouicr
not jepordize their academic
standing. If they can see their
way clear to do this work, the
dean summed up, they can do so
with the realization that they are
helping in a vital part of the war
effort.
