Bible Puts Ends Thru Brief
Passing Session to
Mend Errors.
Correcting: the errors of Wed
nesday's scrimmage game. Coach
D. X. Bible sent the Huskers thru
a dummy scrimmage and signal
drill Thursday afternoon on the
south practice lot.
Line Coach Roy "Link" Lyman
conducted a group session of line
men demonstrating the mistakes
made by the forward walls of the
Red and White teams. Blocking
fnd tackling technique was
stressed in the workout.
A short punting practice was
held under the watchful eye of the
rotund head coach. Sam Francis,
Ron Douglas, Thurston Phelps and
Bill Andresen did the punting with
the two seniors holding a good ad
vantage over the two soph pros
pects. End Coach Browne held a black
board lesson for the flank men in
an attempt to clear up any mis
takes. Paul Amen. Elmer Dohr-
. j man, Lloyd Grimm, Les McDonald,
V- Jack Mercier, John Richardson,
Ken Shindo. Bernie Smith and Virsr
Yelkin were on hand to learn their
end assignments.
Set Up Pass Defense.
Hurrying practice along. Coach
Bible called the ends and backs to-
gether for a short passing session.
Doing the passing were Sam
Francis, Harris Andrews, Thurston
Phelps, Bill Callihan, Lloyd Card
well, and Bill Andresen.
A pass defense was set up with
Charley Brock and Sam Francis at
the defensive fullback positions,
Ron Douglas and Harris Andrews
at the halfback posts, and Lloyd
Cardwell at the safety point.
T Passive teams were set up for
a signal drill with the coaches run-

Coach Bible indicated that the
Husker squad would not be divided
into the varsity team and the "B"
team until after the frosh game
next Saturday. The keenness of
competition for positions on the
first team is so Veen, Coach Bible
declared, that the team roster may
be shifting daily. A fair idea of
which men will go to the "B"
squad under Coach Lawrence Ely
will be determined in a practice
game on the varsity lot Saturday,
Sept. 19. The game is open to the
public.

Tilt With Gopher Champs
Looms as Highlight
In Grid Agenda.
Cause for some concern in
Cornhusker grid circles is the
fact that the 1936 schedule is de
void of any so called "breathers"
because of the odd itinerary the
Huskers have had mapped cut for
them.
In a little over two weeks Iowa
State will be Nebraska's first grid
guest. Ames can hardly be dis
missed as an opening game for the
Cornhuskers. Last year the Cy
clones gave the Huskers a close
game until Wild Hoss Cardwell
broke loose for a touchdown sprint.
Nebraska made 20 points to Iowa
State s 7 last fall.
Altho not overlooking the Iowa
State game, the Huskers are de
cidedly pointing for the Minnesota
game at Minneapolis the week fol
lowing. The Gophers open their
slate against Washington and have
open date the week before the
Husker game. What the Wash
ington Huskies do against Bernie
Bicrman't national championship
juggernaut may be indicative of
Nebraska's possibilities to do what
all other grid elevens have failed
to do in the last three years
beat Minnesota!
Indiana Follows Gophers.
A new foe, Indiana, follows
Minnesota on the Husker grid
slate. Press reports from the
Hoosier state indicate a strong
team this fall which hopes to
lick Michigan the week before they
come to Huskerland.
What might develop into Ne
braska's touughest Big Six scrap
is the contest at Norman Oct. 24.
Last fall the Snoners bowed to
Coach D. . Bible's Cornhuskers 19
to 0, but Major "Biff" Jones has
had another year to work his
shock troops into shape and they
are prepared to avenge last year's
whitewashing, according to Sooner
press reports.
K. U. lost to the Huskers by a
touchdown last fall, 19 to 13, but
hope to turn the tables. The Jay
hawks are in their prime in No
vember and will give the Corn
huskers a full afternoon in Memor
ial Stadium Nov. 7.
Pitt Biggest Home Foe.
Nebraska's biggest home game
will be the Pitt contest the next
week. Jock Sutherland has been
lauding the Huskers to the high
heavens as the midwest's best
eleven, but his gushy outpourings
leave the wise Husker patrons
with their tongues in their re
spective cheeks. Pitt is after na
tional honors again this fall, and
a win over Nebraska will boost
their stock. Fitt took six points
to Nebraska's none in the closest
game on the 1935 Husker slate.
Kansas State marred Nebraska's
conference record last fall with
a nothing to nothing deadlock.
How these two teams fare this
fall may decide the conference
championship. It is the last home
game of the season.
The Cornhuskers will go to the
west coast to wind up their slate
against Oregon State at Portland.
Oregon State, under the mentor
ship of Lon Stiner, former Husker,
lost 26 to 20 Nebraska last fall.
With the return of "Red" Gray,
star back. Oregon State will have
a tough club this fall.
Now, pick a setup if you can!
Faculty Reinstates
Trojan (Juartrrback
(By College News Service.)
LOS ANGELES The eligibil
ity mix-up which threatened to
keep Glenn Thompson, hard run
ning Trojan quarterback and full
back, out of University of South
ern California's grid lineup this
season has been straightened out
to the satisfaction of everyone
concerned, it was announced this
week.
"It ;vas all a mistake." said Jeff
Cravath. assistant to Coach How
ard Jones. Cravath made it his
business to investigate the cause
of the tiouble when the faculty
athletic advisor's off;ee one day
came forth with the announce
ment that Thompson's scholarship
i records were not all thev should
be. The assistant coach, however,
said he found that Glenn had not
been properly credited with cer
tain items and that now everv-
j thing is 'hunky-dory."

Francis. caught in a line dive, thejtion in the Husker backfield this
picture might be exclusive in its season. He passes, punts, and
plunges. The two men enacting
the grapplers' stunt in the fore
ground are Lowell English and
Jack Ellis. English in the bear

Weir Plans Defense Game
for Yearlings with the
Varsity Team.
Nearly a hundred freshman
gridiron hopefuls had their first
brisk workout Thursday afternoon
in a tackling practice and pass de
fense. Coach Ed Weir plans to
put the yearlings defensively
against the varsity Saturday.
Fundamentals of defense, for
mation, blocking and tackling will
be stressed during the next few
days. Offensive drill will com
mence next week. The frosh must
round into shape with no loss of
time, for they open the season
with the varsity Sept. 26.
Following is the frosh grid
roster:
ATHLETIC SCHEDULE:
i
Inter-Club Competition to;
Follow Same Course j
Last Year.
Representatives of 18 social
fraternites gathered at the N club
room in the coliseum Thursday
evening to discuss plans for the
1936-37 inter-fraternity competi
tion. Harold rvtz, director of in
trimural athletics, presided at the
meeting.
This year's intramural program
will be inaugerated in two weeks
if all fraternities approve. This
will avoid the hurrying up of the
competition that comes at the end
of the school year, such as hap
pened last year.
The program will follow similar
lines as last year in the sequence
of sports. Touch football is the
opening sport on the inter-fraternity
calendar.
Discussion on the various eligi
bility rules was held with em
phasis on the technicalities deal
ing with class "A" and class "B"
basketball Last year's sport pro
gram will be retained intact, un
less Greek letter houses request
the dropping or adding of some
minor sports. Pingpong will be
added to the intramural compct.
and badminton may be introduced
later in the war.

Simultaneously as the squirrels
began to burden their jaws with
nutz and stuff, odd, yet perfectly
logical things began to boom on
the Gridiron of the University of
Nebraska. All last spring as the
Huskers began to take shape in
that very successful spring cam
paign of theirs there was a certain
end who kept the printers running
back to the store room for more
ink with which to splash his name
ever the sport pages. It was he
who was patted, not infrequently
: on the back for his blocking, his
' pass snagging, his defensive, and
even his booting skill.
! "He'll be the best in scarlet," the
! barber shop ensemble wailed.
I The lad's appelation was Virgil
i Yelkin. Yet today he seems to be
sawing a second instrument to
I both Elmer Dohrmann, tempora
( nly on the bench with an unfit
: ' nee, and Les McDonald.
Direct antithesis to this is the
lease of Ron Douglas, who last year
I was second only to John, the vice
I president, for complete obscurity
from the front ranks. Probably
that queer niose you have been
hearing was the worm turning for
yesterday, toilay and probably to
morrow and the next day this for
mer Crete star has made them all
sit up and perk.
Being the fly weight of the bark
field with his meager 161 pounds,
he has pitched that much more
earnestly until he has earned the
title, at least at this early date, as
the squad's hardest hitter.
If by this time you are still with
me and are scanning the lines for
a moral to this talk, there is only
this Past performances, spring
drill and the like are about as sig
nificant to construction of the now
Cornhuskers as a razor blade sale
means to our Red sk;n brothers.
General physical condition of the
new grid outfit looks to be as fit
as the proverbial fiddle, yet there
are trivial details that need to be
worked out of the stiffened mus
cles of Bible's burlies. Elmer
Dohrmann, 205 pound end, gives
the mentors more concern than
any one else on the injury roster.
His mishap was a badly twisted
knee sustained in the first, and
incidentally successful, scrimmage.
Bob Ray, alternate pivot man, is
doing a "swell" job of hobbling on
a cane due to an ankle in the same
condition. The same fracas brought
on his jinx.
Still another bit of adversity is
a swollen jaw that looks like a
mouth full of all day suckers and
worn by Bob Ramcy, a fast rising
center.
Johnny Howell, upon whose
shoulders the Husker strategy lies
this fall, is accompanied by a
badly beaten shoulder, and Thurs
ton Phelps' hins look like the walls !
of the Tasty Pastry shop, they are j
so badly bruised, otherwise all is I
calm on the Whatever front the
stadium is on.
Wednesday Samuel Schwartz
kopf made an official decision of
such importance that it set the
usual amount of slanderous anvils
to ringing. Sam, who was being
groomed for a tackle spot on the
first eleven, has decided to swap
his red jersey for a freshman blue
and play another year among the
yearlings.
The instant this was done some
of the most intimate with the for
tune and failure angle of the team
hung their heads in disappoint
ment, for in case you have not
heard, Sam is a fine tackle, a
mighty fine tackle. Others began
to murmur rumors of scholastics,
misunderstandings, etc, etc, etc. It
is, however, the true desire of the
boy with the hard name that
everyone know the why of the
deal. He has four years in school
since he is taking four years in
business administration and two in
Ag.
Why. I ask you will another
year of experience hurt any man,
even as adept at gridding as Sam ?

For Chief William Loane West,
full- blooded Cherokee Indian and
"chief" by virtue of the honorary
title conferred upon him during
the height of his gridiron fame by
admiring fellow tribesmen, the

literally just that.
I At 40 he hopes to be amonz
California's first-string tackles on
Coach Stub Allison's 1936 Bear
eleven and the fact that he is re-
turning to the University of Cali
