Sflnjniclks Ilerm Rohrig Has Possibilities Says Jones. By Ed Steevet. Probably the biggest rise in fame wa have seen at this school for years la that of Little Herm Sshrig, aophomore from Lincoln gh school. Coach Jones, the new comer, has him playing a regu lar h a 1 fback spot and right ly ao. we be lieve. Herm is a r o 1 y poly youngster, and stands about as high as Elmer Dohrmann sit ting down. He runs like a scared fawn VtlERM ROHRIG either forwards or si deways. Fro. Lincoln Journal" ef ar trful that he has to fling them in Jl four directions to take a step. He has recently developed into ene of the better kickers of the prlng squad, especially from placement. It is tough to say whether Dame Autumn will find the local squat ter still keeping company with the other boys of the first eleven, but if he does he should scoop up tons of honors and such. If the maestro in the pit will play a little soft music we would like to put up a little serious p'ea. Last fall we started a cam paign that was to climax with the scent of purity, out instead it terminated in a stench. It was on subsidization and we called every school who used the pe cuniary plan a skunk. We lost the battle as the populace told us that we should let those who could cast their "dough" upon the water and see h it would "raise" into gridders, even tho they be "loafers." Well since we lost that fight, we would like to prove our broad mindedness by making this start line statement: "Subsidization would be a good thing for Hus kerland." It would be good to this extent NEBRASKA NEEDS A TRAINING TABLE. Many varsity gridders have vol unteered this dope to me repeat edly. "Last year," one player told me, "there would have been a different man on one of the reg ular spots had he had enough of the right kind of food. That man eats on 15 and 20 cents per day." If a football player can lose his vim plus 25 pounds due to lack of nourishment, it seems that the said table is in order. We still shrink from straight pay day in connection with collegiate football, but if a man plays football, the best college publicity ever, for a school, it should at least help him get the right kind of sorghum and beans. It was over a dispute of whether the Pitt gridders got school coins to go see Gypsy Rose gyp or to go to Slippy Joes for foamy beverages in celebra tion of the Rose Bowl conquest that Sutherland found himself in trouble. Yet on one of the Husker trips, one of the boys played a rousing game of soli taire because his pockets were too bare for the temptations of the street with the other boys. Of course the university feeds the lads enroute, but why not at home for the sake of physi cal fitness and burlier bruisers to win and advertise the Uni versity of Nebraska. Our doctrines are that school furnished hash would be more soothing to an empty stomach and far more legitimate than unpalat able cash. On the newly formed diamond squad Coach Wilbur Knight al most has two Olympic men. Paul Amen who cut didos at first sack for Hitler will definitely play the first base spot. Amen is a junior and thus is eligible. Another Olympian baseballer is Dow Wilson, a freshman. Being a yearling he cannot compete with the big boys even though he is probably one of the two best on the lot. It's an old university cus tom that all freshmen must wait a year. Wilson played on the opposite team from Amen and opposed each other this summer little thinking they would be team mates later. In Florida Wilson learned the abe's of baseball under the coaching of Max Carey.

Following the election, the Tas sels voted to have their annual initiation banquet at the Lincoln hotel on Friday night. April 9. The group decided not to have a spring party after the banquet. Members of the nominating com mittee who presented names of candidates for office at the meet ing were: Erma Bauer, chairman, Ardis Graybiel. Selma Schnitter, and Mildred Miller. I I iC 1 r 1 1 i .V WEDNESDAY, MAKCH GET EARNED REST; F Rohrig Looms as Possible Successor to Francis In Kicking Role. An enjoyable rest greeted the charges of Coach "Biff" Jones who have been going thru the mill in a week of intensive blocking drill with kick-off plays featuring the workouts Monday and Tues day. But despite the earned letup, Nebraska's spring footballers were considered far from being smooth by the major. The "Biffer" wasn't reaching for his crying towel as he fully well realized that his hopefuls couldn't possibly be in tip-top shape so early in the pre season drill. "Plenty of Fire." "The boys have plenty of fire and spirit," commented the beefy mandarin, "but it is going to take some hard practice to mold them into a smooth-working squad." Tuesday's kick-off rehearsal was featured by the porkhide- booting of Hermie Rohrig, sopomore back candidate. Rohrig was revealed as a place-kicker of some ability during a short dri?. over the up rights Saturday afternoon, and the Husker coaching siatr is grati fied in unearthing a consistent place-kicker, who may take the kicking position so capably held down last fall by Ail-American Sam Francis. Andrews Drops Seven. Squad members are gradually getting into shape with the heavy week of fundamental arm Dae of them. Saturday's scrimmage of a passive nature served to melt oft some of the excessive avoir dupois from several of the heftier squadmen who have been emerging from a long and hard winter of hibernation. Harris Andrews, half back candidate, was one of the heaviest losers, dropping seven pounds. Theme of the second week of Husker grid practice is the double wingback formationu. All plays based on this setup will be aired by Coach Jones during the week, as the gridmen's head tutor is try ing to get all his formations be fore the potential Huskers before spring vacation comes. On Injury Roster. Only three Cornhuskers are fail ing to answer the football bell. Adna Dobson, guard candidate, was on the sideline with an in fected arm; Charley Brock, sopho more center letterman. was kept out of the drill with an injured leg; and Paul Amen's sprained ankle, sustained in the Iowa State hoop mixer, kept the all-around Hus ker end nobbling around with a cane. Nebraska's coaching staff is hurrying the men along with in tentions of being able to demon strate to visiting prep coaches and players, in Lincoln for N.H.S.A.A. state basketball tourney this week, some of the Nebraska workouts in full force.

Pro' Wants Gridders Paid Cash Instead of Promises All-American Tackle - From Washington Goes on Kecord as Favoring; Payment for Gridiron Services In Crisp Money After Each Game. By Bruce Campbell. There are two sides to every question and football proselyting is no exception. ' There is the pro side and the con side. By pro I mean profes sional and that condition in uni versity circles is supposed to be shocking. However, I doubt if anyone who could spell "coach" would be shocked after the past two years of muck-raking and publicity on proselyting. First, let us go to the proselyte, consider his ways and be wised up. In this corner, representing the "Pay as We Play" faction is Paul Schwegler. weighing in at 200 and spread over a six feet four frame work. Paul was AU-American tackle at Washington university and is now a cinema technician, which last is a broad enough term for anybody. Schwegler, pal of the proselytes and soulmate of the subsidized, has been moved by the recent athletic director vs. coach squabble at P. U. to comment in this fashion. Paid Every Saturday. "Football players should be paid. And I mean paid in real, crisp money every Saturday night after the game by the comptroller, not in promises of a new student union building or an additional left wing for the library." There it is, in black and white, a demand for professionalism, just as I lifted it from the Chicago Daily News of March 1. Subsidizer Schwegler goes on to propose a union, to be called the National Football association, or something similar. Proselyting rules could be set up which would establish regions from which schools could draw their mate rial. Wages could be made on a sliding scale, according to the size of a school, the schedule played, the player's ability, and the school's ability to pay. Proposes Sit Down Strike. Paul even provides ways and means of accomplishing such a football players' Utopia. "A sit down strike would do it," he says, evidently riding on the assumption that if the players would sit down and take offense the public would sit up and take notice. Now that we have heard the views of a crass commercialist we can jump to the other extreme. It is' quite possible that Paul Schwegler said all this in a spirit of levity and with his tongue in his cheek, a twinkle in his eye. and his fingers crossed. If he did, why then I retell it in the same fashion. Now for the other extreme. The altruist is rather lonesome these days in athletic circles but there is a perfect example of "athletics for the hell of it" in the case of Johns Hopkins university. j Different at Johns Hopkins. Johns Hopkins officials have grown tired of all the fuss and furor over athletics and advance the strange opinion that university is for educational purposes and that athletics should be engaged in only for the fun and thrill the players get from competing. Therefore, that university has an nounced its policy of free admis sion to all athletics contests. There THE DAILY will be teams representing Johns Hopkins but their gladiatorial ef forts will not swell the treasury of the institution. Coaches are still in order since they are granted to be a help in aiding the athlete to have his fun. The athletic program will become a glorified intramural setup. The president has declared that the majority of Johns Hopkins stu dents don't get enough benefit from the present or hitherto prac ticed sport program and that the new plan will remedy this defect. Unattractive to Gridders. I, personally, will go out on a limb right now and predict that Johns Hopkins will not go thru their 1937 football season unde feated. This idea of true simon pure athletics is revolutionary and obviously can end in only one thing: Johns Hopkins will attract only serious minded young men who don't know a wingback from a canvasback and are apt to mis take a roving center for a principle in physics. They will have only an eye for their future medical profession and athletics will de cline rapidly. I hope this catastro phe will not reach the ears of Paul Schwegler. It would un doubtedly make him exceedingly indignant and might even bring this sit-down strike to a head. Just now, commercialism is leading true amateurism but whether athletics will receive real or psychic income in the future can be decided only by Father Time. Acacias, Sammies, S. A.

Expert Launderers RWMFMA NEDRASKAN E IN llllfi MEET Pfeiff's Runners Score 57 Points for Win; Greens Take Second. Capt. Bill Pfeiff s Orange run ners marked up 57 points to walk off with the tri-color meet held Tuesday under the east stadium. Jim Mather's Green aspirants placed second with 50 1-2 scores and Bob Kahler'a Reds, who have yet to crash into the victory col umn, finished last at 44. Living up to his state-wide reputation as a versatile athlete, Jim Mather, Arapahoe freshman, won the 50 yard low hurdles in :06.2. the 50 yard dash in :05.5 and the broad jump at 22 feet 31-2 inches. Four color meets have been staged thus far, and in each of them Mather has captured at least three firsts. Kahler Stars. Husky Bob Kahler, leader of the Reds, did more than justice to his squad as he came thru with initial places in the high jump at 5 feet 11 1-2 inches and the 50 yard high hurdles in the time of :06.8, besides placing second to Mather in the 50 yard low hurdles. In all tri-color engagements Kah ler has been a victor in at least two events. A former prep champ in the shot put. Bill Pfeiff, ex-Lincoln high field man, threw the ball 41 feet S inches to win a first with out encountering any difficulty. No one has yet taken a first from chunky Pfeiff and he always man ages to outpeg his rivals by sev eral feet. Richardson Downs Short. An upset occurred in the pole vault as Richardson, performing under the red banner, captured this event at 12 feet and defeated the usual winner. Robert Short. Green performer, who did not fare so well and had to content him self with a third place. Wes Evans, cne of Charley Stout's pro teges, managed to eke out Short for second place. Beverly Ott, one of the Orange team's bright stars, was not ex tended in the 440 yard dash and as a result steamed in at 53:3.
