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.
Coach Browne was non-committal
about a. startlne lineup for
the Hawkeyes, but indications

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.

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

ONLY IRK FOR
HUSKER QUINTET
Scarlet Hoopsters Will Meet
Five Teams During
Vacation.
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.

Dear Santa: A few recommenda
tions for choice gifts to be dis
tributed by our old friend St. Nick
to this or that person:
For Coach Dana X. 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

To account for this difference was
the fact that field goals counted

If the game had been timed nor
