LET'S
EXPAND.
Playground
Would Aid Our
Athletic Facilities.
by Arnold Levin.
Athletic facilities expansions
have como to a temporary halt In
CornhuBkerland. The varsity has
its stadium, single practice field,
coliseum, and in the opinion of the
many, sufficient to satisfy its
every need. The intramural de
' partment has the Russian Flats,
the baseball team the Ag college
and city municipal diamonds, and
individuals have the basement of
the coliseum in which to vent their
, muscular bends.
Over 30,000 people crammed
Memorial stadium for the Minne
sota mlxup. The year previous
Fitt drew 33,000 screaming par
tisans of the grid. The Iowa game
that season found close to 30,000
onlookers. This year attendance
at every game has exceeded by
some thousands the number of
spectators present when that team
played last in Lincoln.
Accommodations Few.
Obviously, accommodations at
Nebraska, both from the matters
of participating athletes and spec
tators are not of the best. At the
Minnesota game this year the
knot-hole ticket holders were
herded into the coliseum, to watch
the play on a grldgraph.
This situation is not necessary
at Nebraska. We have room for
expansion if we only will. It will
cost money, yes, but within two
' years Indebtedness on the coli
seum will be removed, and the
athletic department can start on
an expansion venture. Help, if
need be,, can be secured from the
legislature. Bonded indebtedness
on new projects is not- to be
shunned as an all feared evil.
Complete Stadium.
One of the first steps would be
the completion of the stadium, the
rounding off of the north end into
the natural horseshoe construction
intended by the builders. Several
thousand spectators could be
seated, relieving the stadium of
its traffic congested condition ana
deleting entirely the temporary
wooden structures unsightly, un
satisfactory and bothersome,
which rise as if springing from
the ground before every important
i game.
Completion of the horseshoe
would beautify the stadium, re
move the decayed, unseemly board
fence, finishing the project in true
stvle.
i There is need at Nebraska for
a playground large enough to ac
commodate the intramural' depart
ment in its sport schedules, pro
vide training ground for freshmen
and varsity football men, and fur
nish a diamond for the baseball
team to practice and play on.
Plenty of Room.
Natural expansion in this line
m would be north of the stadium ana
east of the coliseum. There are
numerous little houses in that
space, belonging to the university,
which might easily be razed.
Many of them are tenantless now,
and the empty hulks cast a dark
reflection sq near to the campus.
This ground could be cleared,
leveled, and would provide ade
quate space for all necessities.
Dressing rooms in the stadium
and coliseum would be easily ac
cessible. Fraternity and barb ath
letic teams could play their games
close to the campus, relieved of
the trek to the Russian Flats tor
athletic competition.
Baseball at Ag.
The baseball team at Nebraska
must now practice at Ag college
and play its games on the Mu
nicipal diamond to have any kind
of representative crowd. Dana X.
Bible this year has arranged an
eleht irame schedule for the Corn-
r husker nine. With bright pros
pects for a good team, games
should be brought near the cam
pus, where everyone may have a
chance to watch.
Practice fields for football play
' ers are too few. A playground
would give freshmen and varsity
plenty of room to scamper, jump,
and puff in all contentment. And
the military department, needful
of adequate grounds for parades
and drill, shouldn't fight such an
achievement.
Nebraska could be aided all
around in every way by the con
struction of a playground and the
completion of our stadium.

TEAM SELECTION
PUZZLES BROITO
Cornhusker Cage Coach Has Week Before Season
Opener With Brigham Young to Pick Five Men
For Tuesday's Starting Positions.
SPORTSWR1TER EVALUATES 17 CANDIDATES
Whitaker, Leacox, Wahlquist Seek Forward Berths;
Parsons, Amen, Dohrmann in Guard Money;
Widman Leads Center Competition.
By Dick Kunzman.
Concli llnrokl Browne, who has called the cards for Corn
husker basketball teams since 11)30, has turned this season from
directing basket shooters to character nctin. Right now he 6
rendcriiiff a Jekyll-Ilyde interpretation, for he's in the process
of Krinnin elatedly on one side of his face and frowning in
puzzled bewilderment on we oiner.
tvia rnninn for Coach Browne's
dual personality stunt appears in
the fact that he doesn't quite
know what to make of his 1935
30 cage squad. As ho surveys a
troupe of scrappy reliable veterans
supplemented with sky stretching
sophomores, the terrors of Big Six
competition vanish into rosy
visions of a place in the upper half
of the money. But on the other
hand, such a bountiful supply of
talent gives rise to the problem of
selecting the strongest combina
tion out of it. Just what's the
formula for picking the best five
men out of a squad that wouldn't
finish far from a blanket tie in
any test of individual ability?
He's Gotta Go.
Ott Romney's Brigham Young
crew from Provo, Utah, will be
marketing their wares In the
Husker coliseum next Tuesday
evening, and in those seven days
Browne must select from his 17
man squad a quintet possessing
most of what it takes to give the
westerners a lesson or two in
salesmanship.
Losing only two lettermen Rol
lin "Bud" Parscns by graduation,
and Harry Sorensen by scholastic
difficulties Coach Browne finds
returning to the wars five major
lettermen, a minor letterman in
Robert Leacox, and a "B" team
winner in Merrill Morris.
Wahlquist Alternates.
Of the vets, Henry Whitaker, St.
Joseph, Mo., and Bob Leacox, Shen
andoah, la., stand out as the for
ward highlights, altho they're the
littlest men on the squad. Whit
aker can't possibly miss when he's
"going hot" and Leacox is the best

Henry Whitaker, only 5 feet 8 inches tall, is the speedy little
cog in the Cornhusker basketball scoring machine. As a sopho
more and Junior he led the team's scoring. Now he's ready for
his last year of competition, and his unerring eye is one of W. H.
Browne's chief dependencies.

Wahlquist, Hastings, who alter
nates between basketball in win

either forward or guard, and his
qualities as a leader make him a
hard man to keep off the team.
Also in the picture are Leland
Hale, Lincoln, and Howard Baker,
Grand Island, veterans, and George
and Cliff Scott, Lincoln, sophs.
Strong on Offense.
Harvey Widman, Mead, leads
the center competition. An excel
lent tipoff man, he Is strong
enough offensively to surpass two
Empire State sophomores in Law
rence Nelson, Curtis, and Floyd
Ebaugh, Superior. Nelson towers
nhnvn R feet fi. while Ebaugh IS
an inch shorter but more expe
rienced and an excellent snoi.
The leading guard candidates
find Bob Parsons, Paul Amen, and
Elmer Dohrmann, all sophomores,
battling among themselves. Bob
Parsons is the best shot on the
team, with a long, high arch that
seldom misses, and appears Cer
tain nt a at-nrtin? berth, with
Wahlquist probably at the other
position. Dohrmann is capame or
playing either forward, guard or
center, showing possibilities at all
three positions, but looks best at
bringing the ball out of the de
fensive scoring zone. Amen Is a
hnrd worker and active, with a
toff handed ae-illtv on nasses that
makes him a strong contender for
starting honors.
Nnt far behind In the euard race
are Earl Daft, Waverly, and Dick
Kosman, Omaha. Also out for for
ward honors are John Osborne,
Lincoln, and Lloyd Wampler, Lin

defense wide open. In addition
Browning was the team's leading
scorer last season and main cog
around which the Oklahoma fast
breaking attack was built.

chosen on the all-"Big Six" second
