Thought, m Husker athletic circles is already turning to
basketball. With the best schedule in recent years drawn up
I'or Harold W. Browne's 1 n:J4-.5 Scarlet and Cream aggrega-
Turn, joouihu is neing rcregaiea
itera, despite the fact that the grid season has but recently
turned the mid-way point, and that the important intersectional
clash with Pittsburgh looms but ao
week distance.
But Coach Browne is going to
end his men off to an early start,
and opens drills Monday, although
he himself will not be present, be
cause of duties on the gridiron
Morris Fisher, a basket star of
some years back and assistant
coach will conduct the sessions for
those not on the football squad,
assisted by Kenneth Lunney, last
year's ace forward.
Fine Home Schedule.
Nebraska fans are looking for
ward to one of the finest home
schedules ever attempted by the
Cornhuskers, and are looking for
ward also to the Scarlet, and
Cream quintet as possible contend
ers for the Big Six basket crown.
In previous years, the maple
sport has been rather the nemesis
of the Husker athletes. Under the
direction of head mentor Browne,
however, who came to the uni
versity after turning out cham
pionship teams at Lincoln high,
the basket division has taken in
creasing bounds upward in the Big
Six ladder. In each of the past
three years the team has climbed
one rung nearer the top of the
Valley final tabulations. They
ended at the bottom of the heap
in 1932, and in 1933 one step
higher. In 1934, the Huskers
dragged down fourth place in the
standings, and pinned the only
conference defeat of the year on
Kansas' Jayhawkers, the winners.
Many Reserves Available.
But, in 1935, Nebraska is look
ing forward to its place in the Val
ley basketball world. Coach
Browne eyes the Big Six laurels
hopefully, with a full team of let
termen in the ranks of those re
porting, and with gobs of reserve
and sophomore material to fill in
the gaps, should any arise.
four of those five lettermen on
the Husker quintet played regu
larly together at the close of the
1934 season. Rollin "Bud" Par
sons, right now dividing his chores
with football is the only returning
letter senior. He has played
guard for the Huskers, for the
past two years, and hails from I
Lincoln. The other four lettermen
are all Juniors, with two years of
competition ahead of them.
Harry Sorenscn, Hardy's elon
gated representative, is the junior
center, holding down that position
since Copple graduated last year
at mia-year. Henry Whitaker,
calling St. Joseph, Missouri, his
home town, was high score man
after the first semester, when he
became eligible for the team. He
plays guard or forward, but flips
the ball into the basket most sue.
cessfully from . the forward posi
tion.
Harvey Widman, of Mead, Is an
other junior who made good as a
sophomore last year. He is Par.
son's running mate, and was the
soph guard sensation of the 1934
team. Dwight Loder, last year a
reserve, completes the list of re
turning lettermen. He is suffering
from torn muscles and ligaments
In his knee, and will not be able
to report for the opening sessions,
but will be ready before the season
rets under way, It is hoped. Loder
Is a product of Waverly.
To substantiate the lettermen,
come a full group of sophomores
from the '34 frosh squad, and sev
eral reserves of the past year.
George Wahlquist, Hastings;
Donald Durfee, Pierre; and Lloyd
Carlson, Mead, are reserves who
will report Monday. Vergil Yel
kins, guard from Lincoln, will be
available at the close of the foot
ball season, along with Berhard
Schercr.
Sophomores Promising.
The sophomore group is one of
the most promising to the maple
team in years, and it is expected
that the members, of that group
will give the lettermen plenty of
opposition to retain their places
on the first string. This list of
newcomers to varsity ranks in
clude: Leland Hale, from Lincoln
high, and Bob Leacox from Shen
andoah, Iowa, forwards; Lester
McDonald from Grand Island,
center; Howard Baker from Grand
Island, Jack O Sullivan from Co
lumbus, Lloyd Wampler from Lin
coln high, and Sam Francis from
Oberlin, Kansas, guards.
Football men who will not be
available for basketball service
until the end of this month, with
the completion of the schedule, in
clude Bud Parsons, Lester Mc
Donald, Sam Francis, Bernard
Scberer, and Vergil Yelkin.
Concurrent with the increase In
potential material for the team, a
new schedule was devised, includ
ing representatives from the Big
Ten, North Central, and from the

(Continued from Page 1.)
On this year's schedule the
games of touch football for fra
ternities are just ending, with
record of only one forfeit out of
24 entries. Following on its heels
are the unqualified club sports,
which are scheduled to be played
on mru tne year.
Included in the sports program
are games of all kinds. For fra
ternity groups the major sports
are: water polo, class B basketball,
volley ball and swimming. Tennis
basketball freethrow, handball.
horseshoes and golf are the minor
contests listed.
Clubs of unaffiliated men have a
schedule of touch football, basket
ball, volleyball and baseball. In
aiviauai sports in which anyone
may compete are: tennis, oxing,
swimming, wrestling, handball,
horseshoes and goll.
A handbook of rules has been
printed and distributed over the
campus to govern the entries into
games and contests. Fraternities
entering the sports are given 50
points to apply on the year's point
system. Winners then receive 100
points, second place holders 80, etc.
Petz is quick to point out, how
ever, that the chief plan for the
intramurals is that the competition
and the game be more important
than winning. He wishes the in
tramural program to furnish exer
cise and sport for those who do not
particularly excel or who do not
have the time or desire to enter
into the major athletic program of
events at the university.
Men are declared ineligible in
those intramural sports in which
they have lettered at Nebraska,
altho they may enter the others.
Varsity or B team men may not
enter during the season of that
sport which they play for the uni
versity. Individual equipment must be
furnished by the students them
selves, but balls, officials, and a
place to play are provided under
the terms of the intramural pro
gram. The senior student man
ager for these sports is Ray
Tonges of West Point. The two
junior managers are Henry Mars
den, Lincoln, and Roland W. Nuck-
ols, Scottsbluff.
Chancellor E. A. Burnett and
Dean of Student Affairs T. J.
Thompson endorse the ntramural
plan. "After all," says the chan
cellor, "athletics are for the many
rather than the few. In such con
tests within the university the win
ning of the games becomes of less
importance than the game itself.
There is a pleasant comradery, a
social contact between men that
cannot exist in the classroom, and
a relaxation trom the strain of
study."
ays Dean Thompson, "intra
mural sports furnish opportunities
for exercise and for play which
every well-rounded student should
have along with his studies. I be
lieve that every student should
learn to play some game well be
fore he graduates."

Jupiter Pluvius" intervention in
the plans formulated by Bible were
not accepted gratefully by the
coaches of Nebraska athletics. For
while their men were forced to an
indoor signal drill in place of the
scneaulea fun length scrimmage,
news nasned over the fire of a
conquering horde that will invade
Memorial stadium next Saturday
Pittsburgh 19, Notre Dame 0.
With the Panthers looming:
threateningly in the Husker's path
leading to a continuance of their
unbeaten-at-home record, the Ne
braska lads are going to require
an tne arm tney can possible mus
ter, and Saturday's game was fore
cast as a standard of measure'
ment of the strength of the Husker
reserves.
But instead of clashing in
shoulder combat on the greens
ward, the reserves and freshmen
went thru calisthenics exercises in
the stadium, with only the coaches
to collect on the sloping outer
sides of the stadium. A long sig
nal drill, individual work on as
signments, dummy blocking and
tackling occupied the attention of
the Scarlet Saturday afternoon.
But Coach Schulte has promised
the varsity that they shall have
their fling at the frosh, and that
the frosh shall have their try at
glory sometime early next week.
Whether it will be Monday, or
Wednesday has not been decided.
Wednesday seemed the most log
ical date, as that afternoon is us
ually devoted to a lengthy scrim
mage with the general public ad
mitted, but the little head master
may decide to hold his game Mon
day, and devote the remainder of
the week to ironing out defects. If
any injuries were sustained, they
could heal much more quickly
from Monday to Saturday than
from Wednesday to aSturday.
Colonel Bible spent Saturday
afternoon in the Smoky City of
Pittsburgh, viewing the battle in
which the Panthers subdued No
tre Dame's Irish 19 to 0. But he
will be back Monday to prepare
his charges to withstand the ter
rific onslaught which the Pitt in
vasion promises. As yet, however,
he knows nothing of the rain
which spoiled his carefully laid
plans back in the city of Lincoln.
Nevertheless, it can be safely said
that he will sanction the postpone
ment of the game to the early part
of next week, as an accurate esti
mate o fthe prowess of the re
serves must be made, and that is
the only stanadrd of measurement
available at the present time.

TILT HELD UNDER LIGHTS
The Husker B team met a stiffly
concentrated Chadron attack and
were downed hard by a score of
21 to 0 in a game played Friday
night under the lights at Scotts
bluff. .
Chadron played a heads-up ball
game, capitalizing on the B's in
ability to hold in the line and
blocking punts in the first two
quarters to recover them down
near the Nubbin goal.
Miller, substitute Eagle wing-
man, picked off a blocked punt be
fore it reached the ground and
romped across the goal line for
the first score. In the third quar
ter Beaver, kickine: from behind
his goal found his punt blocked
and Chadron accounted for two
points on a safety.
A fifty yard jaunt down the field
by Eschenbrenner, Chadron end,
after he had intercepted a lateral
behind the line of scrimmage ac
counted for the Teachers' second
touchdown of the game. After a
Hcrcw-r.-.ll pass that was yards and
yar!3 long had waived itself "down
to the B team's 4-yard line where
it was caught by a Chadro nend,
Lodge, substitute fullback, plunged
for the remaining distance and the
third tally.
Nebraska B's did not threaten
save for one time when they ad
