BLUES AND FRESHMEN
SCRIMMAGE REGULARS
Defensive tactics were stressed
Wednesday evening at Varsity prac
tice, the Blue, reserve team and the
freshmen being given the ball to car
ry against the regulars.
The Blue team had fair success in
carrying the ball and completed sev
eral passes. The Varsity defense
was noticeably better than on previ
ous days th' week, however.
In the Kansas game it was shown
that the Varsity was still we . i
defense, especially on passes iN
coaches have been working all sea
son to stop the passing game, but in
spite of the fact that the backfield
(s unusually fast the Iluskers have
not had any great success.
Predict Sbvkeap.
A shakeup in the backfield loomed
Wednesday as the result of a switch
in the lineup. Frank Mielenz, Wa
hoo athlete, was at right halfback
on the Varsity, while Avard Man
dery, formerly regular halfback, was
playing with the second string. The
work of Mielens in practice Tuesday
evening, when he played with the
Blues, is thought to have brought the
change.
Bistine, fullback, was in for My
ers, regular fullback, who is out
with an injury. Captain Ed Weir
was also out and Schola filled his
place at tackle. Probably both Weir
and Myers will get into the Missouri
game Saturday, but it is doubtful
whether they will be able to last the
full game. If it were not for the im
portance of the Missouri game, both
would be given a two-weeks' lay-off.
Lighter practice will be on the
schedule for Thursday evening and
the team will taper off Friday with
limbering-up exercises.
Choppy" Rhodes Hailed as the
Grange or Tryon of Nebraskans
FRESHMAN SQUAD
BACK AT WORK
Coach Frank Teaches Missouri
Plays to Yearlings for
Use on Varsity.
The freshman football squad re
turned to their practice this week af
ter the vacation trip to Kansas. The
Illinois has its Grange, Colgate has
its Tryon and Nebraska has its
"Choppy" Rhodes so argue Corn
husker football followers, who have
viewed the mighty Grange and Tryon
and also have lien Rhodes strut his
stuff against the Illinois and Colgate
gristers.
The Nebraska halfback scored in
both games. Against Illinois he
broke loose in the opening quarter
for a 40-yard run and touchdown and
against Colgate, Rhodes counted two
touchdowns.
The average ball-lugger tries by
running the ends to break loose
through an open field. Not so with
Rhodes. Given an opening by the
forwards, Rhodes' specialty is to ram
through the enemys line, after which
he whirls away from the secondary
defense, sidesteps th- safety man and
speeds to the goal.
Grabbing a forward pass from
Bloodeood. the Nebraska halfback
was twice knocked down by tacklers
in the Colgate game, but bounced to
his feet to emerge from the pile with
a clear field to the goal. Another
plunge through the line and sprint
netted Rhodes a second touchdown on
a 70-yard drive. Plunging and
whirling halfbacks of the Rhodes type
are scarce in the football realm.
Rhodes started playing football
when he was but sixteen years of age
and while a junior at Ansley high
school he captained a team which was
undefeated and filed a bid for state
honors. During his high school career
Rhodes never lost a minute of play
in any contest, never calling time out
for an injury. His work as a fullback
drew the attention of high school crit
ics and he was accorded a place on the
roll of honors during his junior and
senior years.
The Nebraska star is also a basket
ball and track man. In high school
he led a group championship team at
Ansley and at a state track meet,
broke two state records in one after
noon. He is the present holder of Ne
braska interscholastic records in three
events. His mark for the high jump
is six feet, his broad jump record is
21 feet 10 1-2 inches, and his pole
vault record is 11 feet 8 inches. '
Throughout his high school track
. .... . . i
career, Rhodes had spirited competi
tion with Ed Weir, present Cornhusk-
er captain. Rhodes finished a close
second to Weir in the high school pen
tathlon, establishing a new pentathlon
record in the pole vault when he
cleared the bar at 12 feet
He is an all-round athlete. While
at Ansley high he entered a big sec
tional meet Pt Hastings, Neb., as Ans
ley's lone representative. Single
handed he scored fifteen points by
capturing three firsts while Hastings
won the meet with IS 1-2 points.
' At the Custer county meet Rhodes
took part in nine events, won seven
firsts, tied for first in another and
took a fourth. Three hundred ath
letes competed at the meet
Rhodes won three Varsity letters
last year, football, track, and base
ball, "Choppy" being one of the pitch
ing aces of Coach W. G. Kline's base
ball squad.

Order your 1940
calendar now.
NOW is the time to plan your work for 1940.
What you are doing then will depend a
good deal on what you do today and after
graduation and the way you do it.
Obviously, you improve your chances for a big
job if you go where big jobs are and will be.
That means fit yourself to take a place in some
industry with a future.
Planning twenty or more years ahead is all in
the day's work, among the telephone companies
of America. The electrical generating and manufac
turing companies likewise look far into the future.
To put a telephone in every home, to light the
16,000,000 houses that are not yet wired, to devise
and promote many appliances for the comfort of
man all this will require decades oi time ana
billions of capital Chiefly it will need the brains
of men.
It has long been said that electricity is in its
infancy. That is still true. You are fortunate who
can see this industry a little further along on its
way to a glorious maturity.
