Spring Practice
To End on Time
Coarho. Say HiiKrr Workouts Will (lose as Srlirdulod
Despite the Bad 'Weather; May Have to
Cancel Final Sorimmajie.
Though the final scrimmage to
be hold next Saturday afternoon
was to serve as a period to the
spring grid drills, it may be trans
formed to only a comma due to the
blanket of snow now covering the
practice field. Lfltc Wednesday
the coaching faculty staled inten
tions of closing workouts on sched -
ule even though quarantined by
cold for the remainder of the time.
However, should the bleak weather
last until scrimmage time it is
doubtful if the officials would con
sider ending the spring program
without that terminating mixer.
Whole Season Good.
Football this robin season has
perhaps been among the top of all
such early performances in the his
tory of the school. Not only has
there been a decided uplift in atti
tude, but also more than one year's
chare of new finds in every de
partment. Previous to the spring
call, staunch Nebraska fans were
casting about for some outside Big
Sixer upon which they could confi
dently lay their greenbacks. Now
with a months intensive training
there are tew, if any, Husker fol
lowers to whom the Scarlet docs
not look its brightest.
Primarily among the backs were
the pleasant surprises abundant.
Only Jack Dodd, Johnny Howell,
and Ron Douglas were firmly en
trenched in the minds of the Husk
er sports minded. All three of
lather carriers served careers dur
ing th past years in the roles of
apprentices, more or less. Dodd, a
mercury footed lad, played second
Instrument to Jerry Nanoue, the
Wisner flash. Howell and Douglas
both played similar ball to Sam
Francis, both claiming triple threat
titles just as Sam'l does. During
the last it was often difficult to
determine in whose armpits the
porkhide was resting.
Dark Horses Show Up.
Coming up- for plenty of recog
nition unexpectedly were Bill An
dreson, hard hitting and shifty;
Andrews, comparable to Dodd;
Plock, slight and slick; Phelps,
big, a thrice threater, and you
might say brainy; Morris and

Weight plus speed can create quite some notice on any football
team, and Veron Neprud, Husker asset, embodies both. This blond
husky weighs 245 pounds, and moves around with the greatest of
case.

With such a quartet to carry the.

Good 01' Days Back.
In the tackle department no one
can now go around telling- about
the good ol' days when men wci
just that and weighed in only by
the hundreds. Highest ranking in
avoir du pois is Vernon Neprun
who tips the beam at 245. Fred
Shirey who did so nobly last sea
son has a temporsry option on
one tackle spot, standing head and
shoulders above all competition.
In the absence of Jack Kllis,
who has succumbed to scholastic
difficulties. Sam Schwartzkopf has
been adding his two hundred
pounds to the opposite side of the
line. Sam is only a freshman, hail
ing from Lincoln high. His spurs
have been won only by the hard
and persistent effoit for which he
has long been noted
Schwareikopf Climbs Ladder.
Sehwartzkopf's climb meant Ted
Doyle's downfall. The big Irish
man has all the makings and the
service stripes to work his way
back into the running if he but
develops the speed and expends a
bit more of the honest sweat. From
the flank position came another
freshman tackle of Lincoln high,
Bob Mills. Mills was all state at
his end spot and to date has been
doing equally well at the inside
assignment. He is close to two
hundred with plenty of speed and
a long range set of arms.
Two other young standouts in
the burly division ai-e McPherson
and Boschult. Both press the
scales to capacity, a seemingly
need only a bit of seasoning by
time. One might say that the
tackle outlook adds plenty of
weight to the championship pic
ture. The weight is not the major
statistic concerning the tacWe
prospects of next season, however,
for each man presents more than
an average amount of grid apti
tude. 0, r'
man wat offered the tame
chance many months ago and
turned it .down although, ac
cording to reports, he was of
fered a huge salary.
The National Open Golf Tour
nament is coming up again. An
annouueenient by the governing
committee of twenty-eight courses
throughout the country at which
qualifying rounds may be played
has started the guesses as to who
will shoot their way into the finals
and who will drop by the way.
Will it be some unknown such as
Sam Parks of lifst year, or will
it be an old faithful like Gene
Sarazen, Walter Hugen, or Olin
Dutra. It may be an amateur like
Lawson Little, Johnny Goodman,
or a heavy money winner such as
Denny Shute, Henry Picard

Speaking of golf, do you remem

last year? If you do you haven't
forgotten Gene Sarazen's double
eagle deuce in the finals to wipe
Craig Wood off the map again.
Wood is the original "hard luck
golfer' 'of the crowd. Three times
he has oeen on the verge of taking
a championship only to have some
impossible thing happen and ruin
it all. Once Wood had a three foot
putt for a title. The ball rolled
straight as an arrow to the cup.
hit a ridge and rolled away. The
second time It was also a short
putt, only a photographer's camera
clicked in the middle of his swing
and sent the ball in a cockeyed
route around the cup. Everything
was going to be different last year
tho. Wood was far antad of the
field in the Bobby Jones' invita
tion meet at Augusta. Gene Saia-
zen was his only threat and Gene
was three over Wood's figures and
didn't have a chance. No?, well,
Gene sunk a 320 yard brassie shot
from the fairway foi a two on a
par five hole. Playing golf for the
rest of the round Sarazen tied
Wood and beat him the nevt day

if he can't do something about it

one morning, I noticed that so
light was coming thru my lone
window, into the cabin. Upon
opening the door, much to my sur
prise, 1 found that in order to g"0
outside X had to tunnel thru thir
teen feet of snow. On my way up
I encountered one of my huskiea,
snug as a bear in a cubby hole that
the warmth of hia body had cre
ated. After reaching the top it
was so cold that my breath fro re
as I expelled it from my lung.
"Noticing that the smoke from
my chimney had froren over a
two mile etretch, I sawed it into
two foot chunks to burn in my
fireplace because of the carbon it
contained."
His second story also pertains
to the weather, only this time it's
a dust storm.
The Dust Flew Thick.
"While driving thru the sand
hills in the fall of 1928, on my
way back to achool, Z encountered
the weirdest and most blinding
dust storm of my caier. After
traveling a few miles thru this
seemingly uncanny wilderness, I
observed an object near the aide
of the road. Going over to it and
picking it up, I found that it was
a sombrero. Beneath it lo and
behold, penetrating the dust, was
the bead of a Mexican.
"Asking him if I could help him
to any way, he replied, 'No, but I
would appreciate it very much if
you woaild give this nag of mine a
kick on the shins, so I can get
home in time for aupper'."
Mr. Stephens' iinal contribution
concerns heat and Nebraska corn
fields. ""A very unusual story was
told me by a Nebraska corn
farmer, of a hot summer back in
July of 1888. He related that the
heat became so intense and suffo
cating that his corn, m-hich was
till on the stalks, popped and
covered the fields from e'ght to
ten feet with a anowlike aubstance.
Some of the popped corn flew
around his pair of mules in an
adjoining: pasture and they fror
to death.'"

over the campus and then turning;
out for football practice, Phelps
has during his four semester in
school been prominent in things
unusual and usually unbefitting a
football player. He was first a
member of the university players,
activity which be enjoyed to the
utmost His hopes now are to
soon to become a member of the
Kosmet Klub, for which he u
probably earnestly vending tick
ets at this very moment On the
campus social register one will
find his name well distributed.
The dramatic ball was given tts
first impetus in Exeter high school
and it was in such duties that
the blonde back received supreme
elatement In his senior year he
won a huge loving cup at a de
clamatory contest staged in Bea
trice, Nebraska, It required sev
eral days for the Phelps bosom
to subside after the victory. Upon
his arrival back in the home et
tlement he was required to pres
ent the trophy to the school at
which time be gave a presentation
speech that he can still recite
word for word.
He held the limelight also in
football and basket ball in the
high school, being the subject of
plenty of news print in his prep
grid days. In a scarlet jersey this
spring he has displayed himseii
as a potential passer and kicker
plus being a plenty capable signal
barker. His size is a desirable 175
pounds and six feet Hi age is
nineteen.
Off the record we might say
that Phelps runs over with per
sonality. His Phi Kappa Psi
brother will not deny this state
ment nor will his many female
acquaintances. As for hie ver

a slight devotion to the 'S" street
