t) .WeHnes'day, October 6, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 Mat Squad Needs Men B. R. Patterson, who will coach both th? esuing and gymnas tic teams this year, has announced that he is seeking material for both these squads. "Pat" insists that experience is not a prerequisite. He is especially interested in finding some "mat men" who could weigh in at 136, 155 or 165 pounds. Since his gym nastics team will make its first appearance Dec. 2, he is looking for men to try out. Some of the returning lettermen with which "Pat" is already work ing are such stars as "Mike" Di Baise and "Peewee" Yambor in wrestling and Leo Geier and Phil Sprague in gymnastics. Some of the freshmen competi tors on the mat are Don Burson, Marvin Kelly, Don Rouh, Jim Spearman, Alton Gilam, Don Schuland and Don Vermillian. First year men in gymnastics are Bob Norton, Bob Yarwood, Dick Robinson and Elgin Robinson.

Even with the great Joe McCarthy at the helm Boston missed a great series in Beantown. Lou Boudreau probably earned another contract with Cleveland when his Indians won the American League pennant. There had been a lot of talk that the Cleveland front office was set to give Lou his walking papers if the Indians didn't take the flag. We still like the way Billy Southworth's Boston Braves have performed the past season. We'll even go out on the limb so far as to say that Feller or no Feller, Southworth's Braves will win their first world series since 1914. Taking a step farther, the Braves will win the first game this after noon. B. R. Patterson will double as coach of both the Uni versity of Nebraska wrestling year. Charley Miller, former The shifting of Tom Novak to his favored post is pro bably a very smart move on the part of Coach Potsy Clark. Novak has always been a stalwart on defense and the big Omahan should prove invaluable on offensive play. Frank Collopy's return to the fullback position is nothing new. Collopy drilled in the fullback slot last spring and is always good for that extra yardage needed for a first down. The rugged back gave a good account of himself in the Minne sota game. The Huskers will be pointing for their second Seven conference win when Coach Potsy Clark is not taking the game lightly however as the Buffs, who have been beaten twice this season, are hungry for a victory. f-P W?V fiiiLLER and gymnastic teams this gymnastic coach, resigned.

The Cleveland Indians and the Boston Braves will write finis to one of the most hectic baseball seasons ever played starling this afternoon at Boston. Both teams have waited over 20 years for this day. In 1914, George Stalling's Bos ton "miracle" team swept from last place on July 4th to cop the flag in September and then went oon to topple the invincible Philadelphia A's in four straight World Series contests. 1920 was the last year Cleve land ever struck pay dirt in the American League race. The Ohioans have been strong con tenders for a number of years but have always faded in the stretch battles. This year's fall classic could prove to be one of the most col orful in history. What could be more enjoyable to see than GT Satchel Paige, the ageless Cleve land pitcher, hurling his first World Series game! Bobby Fel ler also gets his initial try at World Series glory along with Peerless Lou Boudreau, the Tribe manager and shortstop. Bob Hope probably is the happi est man in the land. The comed ian is a part-owner of the Cleve land crew and has fielded much good-natured criticism from his arch rival.

Boston's Braves have finally hit the top under the leadership of Billy Southworth, the former St. Louis Cardinal pilot. With the ambitious backing dt its three owners, Lou Perini and Co., the Braves held then: first-place po sition for the greater part of the regular season. John Sain and Warren Spahn pitched the Bos tonians into the series. Sain fin ished the season with 24 wins, the top in erther loop, the Spahn threatened the 20-game mark as the year closed. The Braves suffered a blow near the end of tthe season when huge Jeff Heath, a former Cleveland out fielder, broke his ankle sliding into home. Manager Southworth has promised Heath that the Braves will win this series for him. a' 5 0 THE OPENING OF BUSHON'S HOUSE OF BEAUTY lllodem (Hair Styling Apiointments for All Hours 1127 R St. 2-5195 Kamore Wool Plaid robe.
