BY HAROLD AE RAMS ON
SporU Uliw
Clair Bee ,a leading basketball
coach, didn't stay in his own back
yard when asked to forecast this
sonson's Ail-American team.
The Long Island university
mentor, writing in a current
sports magazine issued the fol
lowing predictions:
First Team: Kevin O'Shea, No
tre Dame, forward; Tony Lavelli,
Yale, forword; Ed McCauley, St.
Louis, center; Vince Boryla, Den
ver, guard; Ralph Beard, Ken
tucky, ruard.
Second Team: Dike Eddleman,
Illinois; Bob Cousy, Holy Cross;
Jim Mclntyre, Minnesota: Alex
Gsoza, Kentucky; Slater Martin,
Texas.
Coach Potsy Clark's statement
left a lot of room for speculation
as to who and when a new coach
is to be named. As to when, that
is a question which can only be
answered by Potsy himself and
he hasn't been doing muc htalk
ing lately. Except that is, at offi
cial banquet functions.
Who seems to be the biggest
word in the dictionary right now.
Husker fans have narrowed the
coaching prospects down to three
or four and are pulling for Paul
Brown. Why they think it is Paul
Brown seems to be a mystery.
We think Potsy will come up
with somebody that is least sus
pected. Whoever the high moguls
pick let's hope he'll get plenty of
co-operation from all the univer
sity fans.
We are still of the opinion that
if and when a new coach is
picked he will not be any ciracle
man. It will still take time to re
build the once mighty Cornhusk
er grid machine and will take all
the ocoperation of everyone con
cerned. Students here at the university
can do just as much in helping
this process by talking up the uni
vcrsily w hen they are at home. j
It will take time but Nebraskans '
have always been noted for their
optimistic viewpoints.
Frosh Tankers 1
Test Varsity
'
Coach Hollie Lepley's frosh
swimmers will test the varsity
mermen in a pro-season warmup
in the Coliseum pool Thursday
night.
The Comhuskcr swim coach
realizes the two week Christmas
acalion period is approaching
and the U. of N. splash master is
hastening to hold dress rehcrsal
for his varsity tankers before the
holiday spirit takes over.
Heading the frosh contingent is
Paul Gootz, Omaha, intramural
record holder in the 220 yard free
style and 150 yard backstroke.

Dougal Russell, assistant var

fective Feb. 1. 1949.
The date of his resignation co
incided with the end of his con

George "Potsy" Clark issued a
statement. He said. "To clear the
ciecks for the advent of a new
coach, when one is signed, we are
not renewing contracts now in
force."
Claik's statement blasted previ
ous rumors and made wide open
expectations as to who the next
Cornhusker football coach might
be.
Those who have been named
most recently to take over the
football coaching reins from Clark 1
are Paul Brown. Ray Elliot, Abe 1
Stuber. Bert LaBrucherie and
George S;.uer. j
Russell is 36 years old, married, I
and the father of a nine-year-old i
sen. He previously was an as

Letter Awards
Nine seniors are among the 30
Cornhuskers winning football let
ters during the 1948 season.
The graduating letter men are:
Alex Cochrane, Scottsbluff; Jack
Hazen, Omaha, ends; Darwin
Salestrom, St. Edward, and John
Sedlacek, Sewards, guards; Bob
Costello, Lincoln, center; and
Frank Collopy, Scottsbluff, Dick
Hutton, Auburn; Gerald Moore.
Walthill, and Clctus Fischer, St.
Edwards, backs.
Backfield Toll
Of these nine, only Fischer,
Collopy and Costtllo were con
sistent staiters, leaving almost a
complete team returning for the
1949 season. The most serious toll
will be taken in the backfield,
with the loss of such fine all
around backs as Cletus Fischer,
Frank Collopy, and Dick Hutton.
Fischer, who won his fourth
letter this year, has always been
a threat to Husker opponents.
During his four years of competi
tion, he has been chosen on sev
eral All-Big Six teams in spite
of the injuries that have plagued
him.
Frank Collopy, alte. mating at
almost any position in the back-
! field, lettered in 1944-46-47-48.
He has been a standout in every
phase of the game, defensively
: and offensively.
Hutton Gone
Third key back to be lost is
Dick Hutton, three year letter
man, the fastest man on the
Husker roster. The Auburn speed
boy had his greatest year as a
sophomore in 1946, and was
chosen on the All-Big Six team.
His return to foim in the latter
part of the 1948 season was one
of the bright spots of a dismal
ear.
Returning lettermen: Ralph
Damkroger, Mike DiBiase. Gerald
Ferguson, Ken Fischer, Howard
Fletcher, Jim Godfrey, Richard
Googlein, Fred Golan, Fred
Hawkins, Bob Lipps, Ray Magsa
mon, Arden Means.
Bill Mueller, Robert Mullen,
Tom Novak, Herb Reese. Don
Sailors, Bob Schneider, Charley
Toogood, Del Weigand and Phil
Young.
