15 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1931. CAGERS PREPARE NEV OFFENSE FOR TILT WITH HAWKS Varsity Fares Rather Badly At Hands of Frosh Quintet. TAPER OFF WEDNESDAY Bob Parsons Shows Way for Green Jerseyed Yearlings. Preparations for Iowa reach ed their climax in the Husker basket camp in a stiff scrim mage between varsity and frosh quintets Tuesday afternoon. After a long dummy scrimmage on a new style offense being prepared for Thursday's invading Iowans, the varsity tackled the green-jer-aeyed yearlings and fared rather badly at the bands of their young but willing foes. Late in the scrim mage, however, the Scarlet began finding the range for baskets against the red frosh team. Bob r arsons, of the freshmen, showed the way when the Greens opposed Coach Browne's pride. A few seconds after the opening Jump he connected for a basket and repeated his performance la ter. Low scoring marked the fray, with but 8 points chalked up dur ing almost twenty minutes of play. All eight tallies, however, were accounted for by frosh flingers. Farsons also shone in the fast breaking, accurate passing attack with which the frosh kept the varsity on the defense most of the way. Varsity Rallies. With the advent of the red frosh tMm however, the varsity re verted to its old offense and Harry Sorenson, center, broke thru quick ly for two baskets followed by a couple by Henry Whltaker. From here on out the varsity had all the better end of the aeai, anno me frosh scored and at all times gave trnuMe to the varsitv. Tuesday's was the last hard practice of the year, wun taper ing off exercises scheduled for Wednesday and the Iowa univer sity tilt Thursday evening.

New Type Offense Practiced. A long drill on a new type of of fense preceded the afternoon's scrimmage session. Practice in for mation, plays, -Jid ball handling were stressed, with the aforemen tioned five doing most of the work. The scrimmage using the new of fense didn't go off to best advan tage, but may be attributed to lack of familiarity with that style of plry on the part of the varsity. The Huskers will undoubtedly revert to their accustomed offense for Iowa's invasion. A full crew of varfclty men worked against the two freshmen quintets. The varsity lineup in cluded: Starting Harry Sorenson, center; Henry Whitaker and Les ter McDonald, forwards; and Bud Parsons and Leland Hale, guards. Substitutions Merrill Morriss and Howard Baker, forwards; George Wahlquist and Harvey Widman, guards. The green-jerseyed frosh team had Juarez and Morgan, for wards; Ebaugh, center; Bob Par sons and LeffeL guards; while the Reds was composed of Carsten and George Scott, forwards; Bradley, center; and Richards and Amen, guards.

Import Static ';: y !'j ARNOLD LCVINI J Nebraska seems to be turning to the policy of selecting ex-Husker football players to fill in the coach ing staff. Numerous stars have been given positions on the fresh man coaching force, but Link Ly man is the first ace of the Scarlet and Cream to take over an asslst antship on the staff, hired to aid Coach Schulte in turning out guards, tackles, and centers for the Huskers. The policy of hiring ex-players has been used for years in some eastern academies, in some cases working successfully, in some not so successfully. The most notable in recent years has been Princeton. For years on end the Tiger alumni refused to sanction any coach un load h had nome time in his life been a player on its football team. In 1933 they broke down, however, and secured Fritz Crisler from Minnesota for the task of restor ing the Tiger star sent to the bot tom by its alumnus coaches, to its previous glory. Crisler has suc ceeded remarkably well, and the alumni groups who grumbled about it being untraditional and un worthy of a Tiger have been si lenced by a couple of extraordinary football teams. Other universities have tried the idea of having coaches chosen only from their alumni assocaltlons, and in some cases it has proved a god send, in some something that the devil must have brought in. There is no doubt in my mind, though, that Link Lyman should and will succeed at Nebraska. He and Schulte should make a grand pair at turning out lines, he'll work wll with th rest of the coactine staff. And then too. his years of experience in the proressionai iooi ball ranks has enabled him to as similate knowledge of how a tackle should or should not play football that will be all the more valuable when Nebraska's 1935 linemen be gin pasting it in their helmets. Lloyd Cardwell, whose name is by now a by-word in homes of Husker football followers, woke up one morning to find himself paged as the outstanding sophomore back of the seaaon, and labeled so by none other than very eminent and worthy coaches of football. Dr. Bain, "Jock" to you, Sutherland, of Pittsburgh'a Panthers and Mr. Bernard Bierman of the team that beat Pittsburgh's Panther, namely Minnesota, both agreed beyond question that Cardy was the, out standing soph halfback of the 1934 season. There's big things ahead for the fleet foot from Seward! A lot of beef will go by the board when commencement rolls around. Four hundred and sixty eight pounds of super-annuated football tackles, and all four hun dred and sixty-eight pound con centrated in the hulking figures of two Husker linemen, Russell "King Kong" Thompson and Walter "Fatty" Pflum. Thommy came down expecting to be the biggest man on the team, but Fatty wanted thr honors, and came back outweighing Russ by two pounds 235 to 233. At that though, cre dit for the biggest man in the con ference goes to Kansas with Tiny Moore, a little bit of a 280 pound fellow at right guard. Maybe Doc -Phog" Allen at Kansas won't be so hot about the uae of baskets suspended 12 in stead of 10 feet from the floor In basketball from now on. He teamed up with Kansas State for an exhibition game using the new height, and his Jayhawks were de feated by the Wildcats in a thrill ing over time dual. Not like "Phog" to be beaten by a confer ence foe. Well, we think maybe the old 10 foot height Is best after all. Nebraska suited off on its 1934 35 basketball schedule on the wrong foot and fell in a heap Fri day as "Dutch- Witte'e Wyoming Cowboys reaUy poured it on to take a 36-23 win. The Huskers need a little more of that "get g- ing the first naif stuff. They didn't Friday, In fact they seemed to be going the wrong way during the first half Friday and let Wy oming pile up a huge margin. That won the game, despite late rally tzg.

STANFORD TO PLAY HERE Brownemen Engage North Dakotans in Coliseum Saturday. Christmas vacation may be a time for rest and bij? dinners for some, but not for Ne braska's basketball team. The closing of school Saturday will mean two weeks of hard prepara tory work on the part of Coach Browne and his Scarlet quintet, for during the impending vacation they will meet in intersectional contests, five quintets ranging geographically from the far west to the east. They will entertain three teams at home, and will journey to for eign fields on two occasions, con quest-bound. Opponents will vary from the Big Ten and Nortn cen tral to the Pacific coach confer ences. The evening of Dec. 22 will be taken up by North Dakota uni versity on the coliseum floor, which game will be the second home appearance of Coach Browne's tossers during the year. The Nodaks hold the advantage of having a veteran quintet back in suit which last year sent the Husk ers to the showers on the tail end of a 50 to 23 walloping. Husker fans will have a view of Minnesota In action, even though it is on the maples and not on the gridiron when the Gophers come to Lincoln, Dec. 29. National cham pions on the chalked field, the bas ketball prowess of the Vikings is yet to be tested. Last year they doubled the score on the Browne men, 32 to 16 at Minneapolis. A newcomer on the schedule from that of last year's is Stanford university from Palo Alto, on its way eastward in its biennial has' ketball tour of the country. The Indians will appear on the coll seum court Jan. 2. Two years ago Stanford met Nebraska in Lincoln and stepped off with a victory. The Huskers will make their own trips during the Christmas period when they go east to De catur. 111., for an encounter with Milliken university. After meeting Milliken, Jan. 4, the Huskers will swing southward and finish the va cation season at St. Louis In a tussle with St. Louis university Milliken U is a strict newcomer to the Scarlet, but St. Louis is an op ponent carried over from last year. The Huskers won, 29 to 25, on the local floor. Following the game with St. Louis the schedule calls strictly for conference games with the excep tion of one tilt witn uenver uni versity on the home floor, Jan. 26. Home and home affairs with the Big Six members will begin Jan. 12 with Iowa State here and wind up March 2 with Kansas State's Wildcats also appearing in the coliseum.

Bible One excellent superfine center for next year's varsity along with two ex traordinary guards besides a wealth of tackles, ends and backs. For Doc Marty MacLean A great number of sore muscles to expertly heal and put back into shape. Also we hope he gets a few new infra rays and other types of healing lamps. For Coach Harold W. Browne A winning basketball team or bet ter still one that gives the crowds a real thrill. In other words the ol' repeat. For Knox college One really good football star. For Coach Jerry Adam A num ber of brawny men that can take it and dish It out on the wrestling mat. For Swimming Coach Minor A capable successor to Bernie Mas terson In scoring potentiality. For Oeorge Sauer A varsity calibiT freshman basketball team. Same gift to go. Nick, to Morrie Fisher. For U. S. C. Two football play ers. For Minnesota Several new kinds of eligibility rulings so in the end they won't have any team at all. For Kansas State Best wishes never to again take the Big Six football championship or basket ball championship away from Ne braska. For Coach Henry F. "Pa" Schulte A prosperous track sea son complete with A. A. U. trim mings and Big Six championship. The main thing gleaned from the experimental game played be tween Kansas and Kansas State to show the advisability of using twelve-foot goals instead of the customary ten foot ones, was that the game showed a tendency to make scoring easier. The final count was 39 to 35 in favor of tthe K. Aggies. If the game had been scored according to the regulation methods the SELECT Christmas Giftsi FROM Latsch Bros.
