i CRITICISM IS

But I Stick

One Final Salvo.

Daily Nebraskan sports writer.
Dear Arnie:
Just a comment or two concern
ing your column in yesterday's
paper: (1) In Saturday's game
Sam Francis as a football player
exhibited the latest table tennis
form. In plain words, he played
very poor ball. Perhaps the block
ing was poor, but if so it was poor
for Lanoue and Cardwell, too
and they played consistent ball.
Judging by results, and results are
I all that remains to be counted,
Francis was an "ln-and-outer" in
the Minnesota game. Bible took
this into account when he with
drew and subsequently withheld
Sam. Maybe Francis could have
scored, but from the way he play
ed in the first quarter Minnesota
would have added a safety to its
margin of victory. The coach
might be right, you know. He kept
out an indifferent player in order
to play a mare consistent man.
(2) Years ago Nebraska stu
dents demanded akugher football
schedule for the Huskers. Notre
Dame, Army, Oregon State, Syra-
, cuse. Texas, N. Y. U. and North
V western replaced Lincoln hieh,
'4 Drake, Grinnell, and the like. For
yeara Nebraska has better than
orokSji even in its games outside
the conference. Now that we lose
an important game you suggest
we revert to the old type schedule
just so that we may have an all
victorious season. Nebraska fans
students and alumni alike, would
object heartily to the cancellation
of either the Pitt or Minnesota
games (the teams to which we
have lost the past few years). For
them one victory would atone for
the many lean years. One victory
but how wonderful that one. Just
as the teams in the Big Six con
alstently lose to Nebraska and
then look forward to the year
when their season be remarkable
by virtue of triumph over the Scar
let and Cream, so too do Nebras
Icans look forward to the Pitt and
Minnesota games.
Sometimes we win, sometimes
we lose but let's play good teams.
Anyone can win with a bunch of
set-ups on the schedule, but how
doubly precious becomes that year
of victories over really good ana
really tough teams. We asked for
harder games, we have mem. Ne
braska is not omnipotent, and we
must exnect to lose once in a
while. D. X. Bible's record here
speaks for itself.
In thirty-one conference games
hla teams have won 25, lost 3, and
tied 3. Outside the conference the
BibJemen have won 14, lost 9, and
tied 3. A percentage of .764.
Nebraska has a good team, and
it plays good teams. Do you want
to be a quitter and back out of the
tougher games after a good sock
in the nose? Wake up, let's boost
Nebraska and Bible.
A FOOTBALL FAN.
Oct 16, 1935.
Mr. Football Fan,
Someplace in Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
In this land of freedom and lib
erty, each and every man has the
right to his individual ideas and
thoughts. You disagree with me
very well, I'll disagree with you.
You say Francis shouldn't have
been put in the game, that he didn't
do anything when he was in, mat
he gave a nice imitation of paddle
tennis on the field, that Cardwell
and LaNoue went places even if
they didn't have blocking and
Francis couldn't
Well, Francis didn't carry the
ball enough when he was in to even
rive him an average. The ,e
braska team was fighting on the
defensive while big Sam'l graced
Its backfield. And it was Sam
who, along with Johnny Williams,
was stopping all the Minnesota
plays that ripped the Nebraska line
to shretis. Again and again the
announcer blared "stopped by
Francis." And those two poor
punts of his. If he'd kicked them
straight they d nave Deen mocKea
by charging Gopher forwards. His
line wasn't holding back the heavy
drive of the gigantic Norsemen,
and he was rushed on both at
tempts. That disastrous fifteen
yard punt would have been blocked
lor what might have been a toucn
down then and there if he hadn't
kicked it off the side of his foot
Mr. John Bentley, in the Journal.
brings forth the altruistic idea that
Francis should have remained on
the sidelines because his under
study, Ron Douglas, was doing
auch a marnificent piece of work
blocking and punting. I don't say
Dourlas didn't he did. Just as
fine work booting the ball and
taking out bis opponent as any
man on the field. But because
Jerry LaNoue can swivel with
dizzy speed in an open field is no
reason to believe his 170 pounds
can split a beefy forward wall
open. The same holds true in the
Dousrlas-Francis case. Francis was
the boy to use there because he
was feared by the Minnesotans as
a plunger. The threat of his being
In the backfield might have opened
the defense to a series of end runs
or laterals. But Douglas, 170
pound of flash, couldn't begin to
crein thru those' beefy forwards.
I'm reminded of the Purdue
Michigan game of some years ago
when Purdue needed this one win
to cinch the Big Ten champion
ship. The Boilermakers' quarter
back called on a blocking half to
main the line for a yard and a
touchdown. The blocking half
called to a young fullback to
change positions with him. "You
take it, I'll lead you thru," he said.
This is all "might" But it's my
belief and my conviction. I'm not

Those Gophers Saturday afternoon were tougher than the

rific licking they took from the

Coach Bible turned to the very
important task of preparing for
Kansas State this Saturday. Chief
was still limping about the sta
dium dressing room Tuesday with
the aid of a cane, earning from
Floyd Bottorf the monicker of
"Pappy."
Howell May Start.
Bauer's injured ankle, which
forced him to leave the field in
the first quarter Saturday, was
probably one of the major factors
in the Husker defeat. It is doubt
ful, moreover, if he will be able
to start the game when Nebraska
goes to Manhattan for the pur
pose of getting back what they
lost last Thanksgiving. In that
event, Johnny Howell, who turned
in a capable job of signal calling

his first entry into nig time com
petition, will get the quarterback
post
Lloyd Cardwell, Bernie Scherer,
and Harold Holmbeck, frowning
over injuries Monday afternoon,
were on hand in full strength yes
terday.
Nevertheless, the whole Husker
squad that saw heavy duty against
the GoDhers was still taking- it
easy when Coach Bible opened the
second afternoon of practice de
signed for the special benefit oi
the Wildcats. A full afternoon
against a team of Minnesota'
weight and power a team which
Bernie Bierman described as "dis
playing the most fighting spirit
that he had ever seen toon
evervthine' Nebraska had, and
Coach Bible described the condl
tion of the squad as "still very
tired."
Light Practice Scheduled.
Consequently, this week will see
practice limited to minor quanu
ties to give the team a chance to
rest up for the Staters. The usual
trying to pan anybody or criticise
anybody. But I still would have
liked to have seen Sam in at full
back without blemishing Ron
Douglas' play a bit
Mr. Football Fan, you say that
a single victory over either Pitts
burgh or Minnesota would atone
for the many lean years, from the
fan s standpoint Mr. Bentley, you
say I would rather have us rolling
over Knox 100 to 0 than being five
points and two yards from victory
over Minnesota.
A victory over either Minnesota
or Pittsburgh would help a lot. It
would prove that they're not su
perhuman as far as Nebraska is
concerned .and that we have as
good a chance to win as lose. But
for as long: as I've been following
Nebraska football teams, I've been
waiting for that victory. How
much longer is it going to be?
I'm not saying that Francis
would have made those yards. I'm
not saying he at all deserved, from
his previous play or from the play
of Ron Douglas, a position in the
Nebraska backfield. But I am say
ing that the threat he presented as
a plunger might have drawn in the
Gopher defense to the success of
an end run.
You say we shouldn't take them
off our schedule, even if they do
beat us year sfter year. If we can
not win from them at least once
every so often, let's not play them.
We're not in any conference with
them. Nothing says we have to
play them for a championship. We
do it because we want intersee
tional contests. Eut why play in
tersectional contests and be beaten
all the time? Does it add glory to
the Scarlet? Does it add honor to
the Scarlet? If it does, maybe I'm
blind.
You cite the number of confer
ence and intersectional games we
have won and lost My criticism is
not for this. My criticism is direct
ed against Minnesota and especial
ly Pittsburgh. We've got good
teams. Darn good teams. Teams of
which I'm proud. But why subject
those teams to the humiliation of
defeat annually? Why not go thru
an undefeated season? Why not
charge that Pittsburgh encounter
to some other school that we have
a chance of beating? There are
other leading- teams beside Pitt
There are other leading teams be
side Minnesota. Teams which are
not so powerfully steam rollerish
year by year. And I say we should
get games with them instead of
with yearly champs.

'STILL TIRED' BIBLE
Reserves Coming Up Fast
LaNoue Named Captain
Big Six Champs.
Bierman boys,
Wednesdav even in p scrimmace
will probably be given over mainly
to tne men wno saw little duty
Saturday. N
Tuesday found the squad going
on the field a trifle before 5 o'clock
after viewing pictures of the Kan
sas state game of a year ago,
which resulted, incidentally, in a
19-7 surprise victory for the Wild
cats and the loss of the conference
title for Nebraska Two groups
went on offensive and defensive
duty against the frosh, with most
of the men who saw full service
Saturday relaxing while the prep
graas tried to carry tne bail.
Out of the wave of second guess
ing which has followed the Minne
sota game like a swarm of bees,
one thing has emerged upon which
everyone, wonder of wonders,
seems to be in complete agreement
Namely, the unit which was hailed
at the beginning of the season as
Nebraska 8 only hope for a sue
cessful campaign has met with as
much competition in the rest of the
squad as in outside foes. The
Husker first stringers are finding
that they've got a big job on their
hands in keeping ahead of the re
serves, who supposedly weren't
even worthy of mention at the
start of the season.
Trio of Strong Line Replacements,
Harold Holmbeck and Jack Ellis,
tackles, and Kenneth McGinnis,
guard, are the most prominent of
tne seconds who have been strut
ting their stuff in the past week
or two. All three are in line for
a fling at the starting assignment
when the gun signals the kickoff
at Manhattan. The whole reserve
corps has been coming to the front
however, and there's hardly a man
who can take it easy and still feel
sure or a starting position.
Especially keen is the competi
tion at end. Five potential wing-
men scherer, Dohrmann, Rich
ardson, McDonald and Amen
were on band against the Gophers,
and there's not a lot to choose
from among them.
Ron Douglas looked particularly
ci assy in the backfield Saturday,
and may beat Sam Francis to his
fullback berth. Despite his 165
pounds, Doug performed creditably
on the punting end of it and did
more than his share of line crash
ing.
LaNoue Game Captain.
Aside from Lloyd Cardwell, who
couldn't get farther than first base
against Minnesota, Jerry LaNoue
is probably more certain of a season-long
job than any player on
the team. It was the Wisner lad
who streaked thirty-one yards
thru the Gopher line to the solitary
Nebraska touchdown, and who
turned in most of the Nebraska
ground-gaining. In recognition for
his services, which have been no
ticeably invaluable all season,
Jerry will captain the Nebraakans
against Kansas State.
The officials announced for the
game at Manhattan are E. C. Quig
ley, referee; 8teve O'Rourke, St
Mary's, umpire; Reeves Oeters,
Illinois, field judge; and J. CrangeL
Illinois, head linesman.

Gridmen Answer Minnesota
Game Critics With No Alibis
By Morris tipp.
Ill retaliation to the criticism of many self styled grid au
thorities of Nebraska's game
some of the Cornhuskers who
plenty to say.
In the Husker dressing
opinion was that Nebraska lost too-
a superior team, but the gridsters
didn't feel that it was any dis
grace to lose to a national cham
pionship team.
Game Capt Jim Heldt had
plenty of retort to make. For the
benefit of these Monday morning
quarterbacks, "Jimmy" made it
known that there is a sufficiency
of football suits to equip any in
dividual who thinks he knows
enough about football to try out
for the team.
"We still have confidence in our
team and coaching staff," Heldt
said, "and it is disgusting to hear
such criticism especially when a
loss is made to a national cham
pionship team. It is not the idea
of college football to win all the
minor games, but to achieve a na
tional record by impressive show
ings.-
LaNoue Agree.
Jerry LaNoue, who was ac
claimed the hero of the game for
Nebraska, chimed in with Helen a
remarks. They (Gophers) played
the best football They ever have,
Jerry stated. ac:or0in? to their
coach, Bernie Bi rman.
All I have fot them is praise,
said Lloyd Cardwell. who was
quite boftled-up by the Gopher
men. "Cardy" was convinced that
they had a good team that tackled
hard and played a fine brand of
football.
Sam Francis, who had bad luck
with his punting Saturday after
noon, believed that Nebraska had
the "breaks" of the game but un
fortunately could not cash in on
them. Sam also felt that Minne
sota had a great team.
Bauer Wanted Victory.
Gus Peters, staunch and stal
wart guard, expressed the true
philosophy of college football when
he stated that he would rather
lose to a team like the Gophers
than win over some mediocre
teams of the midwest After all
is said and done, the victory isn't
the sole attainment of a football
game.

game but the best team won. We
all learned something when we
played Minnesota. They block
harder, tackle harder than any
other team but all the players are
good and clean sports."
Harold Holmbeck, substitute
tackle, said that the above were
his sentiments also. He was im
pressed by the greatness of the
Gopher team and their playing.
Holmbeck showed up very nicely
in the Minnesota melee.
None of the Cornhuskers are ali
bing about the outcome of the
game. They all believe that a su
perior team won in a spectacular
battle. Such a game as last Satur
day's affair will go down in the
archives of Nebraska and Minne
sota history as one of the greatest
intersectional grid contests ever to
take place in Memorial stadium.
