Husker Plock
Writes Dobbins
"Football was child's play to his
training," writes former foot
baller, Marvin Flock, from Quan
tico, Va. marine training base,
where he was recently commis
sioned a second lieutenant.
"I'm down to 165 pounds and
tougher than whale-bone," the ex-
Husker "scat" back continued in
a letter to Walt Robbins of the
Evening Journal. "I wishl could
have been like this when I was at
the university."
Plock has 17 more weeks of
training before going into active

Husker Ledger
Free From Debt
. John Selleck
Financial condition of the Uni
versity of Nebraska is decidedly
in the black, according to an
nouncement Thursday from John
K. Selleck, .university comptroller.
Selleck was speaking before the
unicameral appropriations com
mittee at the state house.
All Cornhusker debts are paid
and a cash balance of from thirty
to thirty-five thousand dollars lies
in the till. Selleck was answering
the question of Senator William
Crossland, of Wayne as to the
wartime outlook of college ath
letics. "Our July balance must do us
for the duration," said Selleck.
"We are fortunate in comparison
with the situation confronting the
athletic departments of some
neighboring institutions burdened
with high overhead and building
indebtedness.
"Our income will be small dur
ing the war. The future of foot
ball next fall is very uncertain."
Selleck, however, believes Ne
braska will have a team as long
as "there are any freshmen with
two legs."
Wofford college, with fewer than
500 students and fewer than 4,000
living alumni, has estimated 700
alumni in the armed services.

Baseball Die?

From the Athletic Round Table,
famed sporting club in Spokane,
Wash., comes a request for all
sport readers to answer the ques
tion: fahould baseball be continued
for the duration?
Read the letter below and then
shoot in your reasons for continu
ance or. discontinuance of base
ball. "The Athletic Round Table in
Spokane, Washington, is sponsor
ing a nationwide poll among the
sixty million baseball fans, to learn
whether or not the fans desire the
continuance of baseball for the du
ration. "The above organization has al
ready set up a group of prizes in
war bonds, totaling already more
than J2.000 to be awarded to writ
ers of the best letters, pro or con,
the continuance or the discontinu
ance of baseball.
"It is decidedly urgent that the
sport fans among the colleges and
universities of the nation have
their chance to vote in this poll,
and with that in mind, I am ask
ing your generous and patriotic
co-operation in publicizing the poll
as far as possible, among your
student body members and sports
personnel.
Past Favors.
"During the past tKree football
seasons, your sports department
has generously forwarded to nie
news and releases about our ath
letic teams, which same has been
used here in the northwest, in Spo
kane and Seattle sports broadcasts
when I was a civilian, as well as
now, while I am in the United
States navy recruiting service.
Therefore, I am most anxious to
see that this information gets to
you, so that in this small way I
can show my appreciation for your
past co-operation. I am sure that
the students at your school will be
anxious to write in, not only in the
hope of winning one of the 50 val
uable war bond prizes, but to ex
press their feelings about the con
tinuance of the national sport of
baseball during wartime. The poll
closes March 23rd.
"May I thank you again for your
past co-operation, and express the
sincere hope that you will be able
to thoroughly publicize this poll.
It will be a definite and patriotic
service to your fellow students,
and to your country."
