Charles Miller
Resumes Post
As Gym Coach
Captain Charles Miller of the
army air forces will return to the
gymnastic helm at the Umver
sity of Nebraska next semester
according to Louis E. Means, Di
rector of Student Welfare.
Capt. Miller, varsity gymnastic
coach before his entrance into the
service three years ago, is coming
back to the university at a sub
stantial increase in salary. Be
sides handling all gymnastics, Mil
ler will teach several physical ed
ucation classes and take an active
part in the recreational program.
Other Pastures
Wilbur Knight, who is leaving
the school for other pastures, did
an excellent job in filling Miller's
shoes during the latter's absence.
Miller returns to Nebraska with
superior recommendations from
every field at which he was sta
tioned. He was director of train
ing and operations at Buckingham
Field, Florida, and reorganized
the entire physical education pro
grams at Scott Field, Illinois, and
San Antonio, Texas. He also in
structed at Maxwell Field, Ala
bama and the Lincoln air base.
Miller had been active in organ
izing high school gymnastics
throughout the state, and it is
certain he will continue where he
left off in that respect. He will
study the athletic equipment in
the coliseum basement in an ef
fort to provide adequate, up-to-date
apparatus for students' use.

Sports-minded students will get
plenty of opportunities to watch
Nebraska teams in action in the
immediate future.
With the announcement of the
track and wrestling schedules, as
combined with the present bas
ketball schedule, there will be
plenty of indoor sports activity on
the campus throughout the month
of February.
Nebraska tracksters provide
Saturday afternoon entertainment
each week in February, as they
entertain Big Six foes on the in
door track layout beneath the
east stadium, and Jerry Adam's
wrestlers show their wares for the
home crowds three times during
the month.
Add to this action the Nebras
ka basketball schedule which in
dicates that South Dakota State,
Iowa State, Oklahoma and Mis
souri will all perform on the coli
seum court during the month to
come.
With this reawakening of ath
letic interest, we hope that Ne
braska tear. -3 in all of these sports
will prove to be on a par with the
Husker teams of prewar days. Al
though the days of Nebraska's
domination of Big Six athletics are
gone, Husker fans have not ap
plauded a conference champion
for several seasons in any major
sport.
Future prospects, if they can be
judged by a comparison of activ
ities at other Big Six schools,
seem to be rosy. Only Iowa State
has indicated that it will pursue
a full-scale indoor sport program,
with both wrestling and swim
ming squads to supplement the
track and basketball programs.
Nebraska also will produce a
swimming team this season, and
Ed Higgenbotham is now at
work at the university pool,
drilling a promising number of
squad candidates.
Another sport which has been
re-activated is rifle shooting.
Through the extensive ROTC
courses, a student rifle team will
be selected, and will engage in
meets with other schools. ROTC
cadets are firing a series of pre
liminary scores to determine the
men best qualified to carry the
Husker colors against intercolleg
iate foes.

be able to catch their breath at
the conclusion of this week's play.
Throughout their last several
games, team members have been
bothered by' a fiendish schedule
arrangement which has kept them
on the move much of the time.
For example, this week they
returned from their Monday game
at Iowa State on Tuesday, and
will depart again tomorrow for
Columbia and a game with the
Missouri Tigers on Friday.
Then comes a week's respite for
final examinations. This is fol
lowed by home contests with
South Dakota State and three Big
Six schools. The only road trips
are two weekend jaunts to Kansas
to meet K-State and Kansas Uni
versity. An improved showing in games
to come should be the result to
this arrangement, as well as a
sigh of relief from Coach Pop
Klein who has naturally been on
the anxious 'eat when the team
leaves for an out-of-town trip,
due to the usual worries of a
coach when he has a team on the
road.
