Hunkers Face Tough Assignment of Three Encounters
Within Week; Shadow of Ineligibility Still
Hovers Over Heads of Two Nctsters.
By Ed Steeves.
Coach W. H. Browne has hail
his iron plenty hot this week iron
ine out last week's faults. The
team now looms up as a better j
working machine, tho still a little
indennite.
Three games
come to the
Huskers within

The first Is Sat

order are Min

-st.t. journal. State Tuesday.
Lew is bringing a better club to
town than the one to whom the
Huskers bowed last Friday. His
team is taller, and more seasoned
than were the Dakota Coyotes.
The Huskers are being daily re
vamped and Browne Is vowing to
temper each man into a woll
wrought player, rather than to
specialize five or six as per usual.
The starting quintet now listed in
cludes Howard Baker and Bob
Parsons, forwards; Floyd Ebaugh,
center; and Harry Sorenson, and
Elmer Dohrmann, guards. Men
now pushing for posts are Ernie
White and Bob Elliott, forwards;
Plus Amen, Baker, Werner and
Baxter, handy men.
A pair of the squad's best were
still stui'rng in the glow of mid
night oil last night in attempt to
be on the eligible role this next
six weeks. They were Harry Sor
enson, best ball handler on the
squad and Alton Werner, sopho
lv.ore, forward. There were several
others on the down list, but all but
the two scaled back into the dean'3
grace.
Virgil Yelkin, who has climbed
from the cellar of Husker cage
dom to varsity rank by virtue of
his showing against Luther col
lege last week, may get a chance
to start at guard this Saturday.
Standing 6 feot 2 inches, Yelkin
stands as the only man able to
amply fill a gapping back court
job. In high school the stalwart
guard was rated as one of the
state's best.

Speaking at the Omaha "N"
clJb banquet Tuesday night given
In honor of Nebraska's coaching
thru failure of faeulty members
staff and the 1936 Cornhuskcr
squad, Lawrence Perry, eastern
sportswrlter, paid tribute to Ne
braska as one of the cleanest
schools in the land In regard to
subsidization of players. He advo
cated a policy for colleges who ob
serve the amenities to refrain from
playing those who do not. All very
true, Mr. Perry, but do you think
that those who do will stop play
ing those who do not when the
ominous Carnegie Foundation re
port comes out? The annual Car
neqie report proves to be a ter
rific expose of proselyting of ath
letes, but dropping of subsidized
opponents has never been the di
rect aftermath of this report.
About 750 people jammed the
Fontonelle Hotel to ogle the Corn
huskers and to hear the sneakers.
Omaha's N club men outdid them
selves in putting on a gala ban
quet while squad members rhowed
their versatality by presenting
some very impioniptu takeoffs on
the Husker coaches. Student Man
nger Don Wlemer snd Quarterback
Thurston Phelps stole the show
with their imitations, so they say.
Last week, All-American Sam
Francis and his great running
mate, Lloyd Cardwell, were In Om
aha at the Brandels department
store where they developed a pow
erful case of writers' cramps by
signing autograph books. Some of
the Cornhusker enthusiasts be
came so enraptured at the sight of
the two Nebraska grid heroes that
they crashed thru the window in
which the Huskers were on exhibi
tion. Their appearance in Omaha's
biggest place did not Injure their
simon-pure standing, In case
you're interested.

Altho his Washington Huskies
will contend for a so-called myth
ical national championship U the
Rose Bowl against Pitt New Years
day, Jimmy Phelan has not iv.gned
a renewal of hi? football contract
with the University of Washing
ton. Talk came from Seattle weeks
ago that Phelan might not renew
his contract but no word was raid
where or what he'd do. In other
words, Washington doesn't want
Phelan, which I think is Wash
ington's loss. Playing under "a
coach without a contract," the
Huskies may not be psychological
ly fit to twist the Pitt Panther's
tail. I'm not welching on my for
mer prediction that Washington
will win this Rose Bowl contest,
but a Huskie letdown might be at
tributed to this coach problem.
Speaking of coaches, it looks as
if Ad Llndsey will remain at the
helm of the grid ship of state at
K. U., despite the fact that a poll
conducted by the Daily Kan3an
among the student body resulted
in an overwhelming vote for get
ting a new K. U. football coach.
What power the student body on
Mt. Oread has will be determined
when the Jayhawk athletic council
determines the fate of the 1937
K. U. grid wars. The Daily Kan
san raised an awful stink about
the matter, going even farther
than writing a parody of the K. U.
"Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U."
chant. It went like this: "Rock
Chalk, Dead Hawk, P. U!"

History was made Thursday
morning. Three great Cornhusker
footballers sallied forth from Hus
kerland for San Francisco to start
training for the West in the an
nual East-West charity grid classic
on New Years day. It goes without
saying that the three great are
Sa'm'l Francis, Lloyd Cardwell and
Les McDonald. It's no picnic as
Babe Hollingberry. West mentor,
is famed as a "two-aday" practice
slave-driver. The history aspect
comes in when one remembers ihat
this is the first time in Husker
annals that three seniors have
made the trip. In 1934. it was
Franklin Meier and in 1935. it was
Jerry LaNoue end Bernie Scherer.

Mather, who is a potential back

several fortes, among them being
high jumping, .printing and pole

from this runner as a member of
