men went thru a two hour pass
review with enthusiasm r.-ivcr be
fore seen at the Memorial stadium
practice lot.
Rated as underdogs in Satur
day's grid classic, the Cornhuskers
took to their task as a duck takes
to water. After finishing their
limbering up exercises, the foot
ballers were given a skull session
by the Biffer, who pointed out the
fine points of maneuvers to he
used by the Huskers against the
Nordics.
Since Minnesota is reputed to
have one of the most potent for
ward walls in the country, the
Nebraska board of strategy
thought it a good idea to whet
the Scarlet and Cream's passing
attack. The board's decision
pleased the Biffer, and so the
Huskers were shoved thru a long
rehearsal on pass work.
Shoe String Catches.
Mentor Jones had his backs ami
ends snare aerial heaves flipped
by the accurate hands of Johnny
Howell, Thurston Phelps and Har
ris Andrews. The receivers pulled
in many passes to their bosoms,
and several of the catches were
of the shoe string variety.
Lanky Elmer Dohrmann, flank
man hailing from Staplchurst, al
lowed but few flips slip thru his
sticky fingers. Dohrmann, well re
membering last season's heart
breaking loss to Minnesota, has
avowed to give the Biermen a
busy afternoon on both offensive
and defensive work.
Following the pass examination,
Couch Jones put his No. 1 squad
'thru n dummy scrimmage against
I a yearling outfit using Gopher
' plays. On the varsity first team
wi re Richardson and Dohrmann,
ends; Doyle and Shirey, tackles;
Mclirlng and English, guards;
Brock, center; Howell, quarter
back; Dodd and Andrews, half
hncks. and Mrllravey, fullback.
Paul Amen alternated with Rich
ardson at end.
Reserves Play Well.
While the first stringers were
entertaining a fro.sh bunch, Major
Jones pitted his second and third
teams against Coach Lewandow
ski's Ml outfit. In fln active bat
tle, the Huskcr reserves hung up
four tallies in short order.
Wild Bill Callihan, fullback
from Grand Island, earned the
first touchdown of the fracas after
receiving a lateral from Lloyd
Grimm, who, in turn, was given
the sphere by Jim Mather. A 40
yard pass from Bill Andreson to
Mather brought another score.
Halfback Andreson ended the
ceremony with a duo of touch
downs. The play of Andreson this
week merited him a promotion as
he was shifted from the third
string to the second varsity club.
Jim Mather Stars.
Arapahoe's Jim Mather, who
was also advanced to the second
team last Monday, caught the lik
ing; of the Husker coaches with
his playing yesterday. He not only
Time draws alarmingly nearer
to America's gridiron spectacle
of the week when Nebraska
opens her season with Minnesota
in Memorial Stadium, Conspicu
ously absent so far this week has
been any demonstration of pre
game spirit and certainly It can't
be that the student body is con
sidering the game "in the bag."
Perhaps they're only resigned to
the fate of another annual de
feat at the hands of Lief Bier
man's Vikings.
Over on the Cornhusker playlot
behind locked doors and a special
policeman, Major Biff Jones' boys
appear in a quite definite frame of
mind. They're not afraid of Min
nesota although respect for the
Gophers is tops. They're not saying
they'll win or that Minnesota'll
win. All they know is that they
are as good as the outfit who last
year held the Vikings scoreless
until a last minute fluke, letdown
or what have you enabled the
northerners to walk off the field
with the lion's share of points.
Tongues are bound to pop into
cheeks when you try to tell them
Nebraska's first-string is as good
as the 1936 outfit. The varsity
backfield operates even more
smoothly on offense than last
year's quartet, but an honest-to-ooodness
flaw lies in the sec
ondary pass defense. Halfbacks
who stand under six foot will
need wings to cope with six-foot
three flankmen crossing the sec
ordinary as potential pass receiv
ers. Backfield coaches, however,
arc probably ironing out this
wrinkle to smoothness with
thoughts of the Gopher ends In
mind.
There's nothing wrong with Ne
braska's varsity line, except for the
fact that the second and third
team forward walls hear only a
slight trace of resemblance to me
first stringers. One good line won't
be enough to stop the woodlanders
as sixty minutes of play would
he too much for the Cornhuskers
especially against the juggernaut
of a Gopher line. Experience alone
stands in the way of some of these
sophomores of varsity caliber.
A stolid line ... a precision
plus backfield . . . tough-toed
punters . . . bullseye aerial aces
. . good goal-bound gallopers
stand out in the 1937 Cornhusker
situation. Weak spots glare too
behind barred doors and prob
ably will stick out like sore
thumbs Saturday afternoon. But
who's going to win? That is a
question.
Tomorrow, this writer will rush
in where angels fear to tread
around, Huskerdom to go out on a
limb for the Minnesota-Nebraska
outcome. It'll more than likely be
wrong, but there's a chance, a re
mote one, that my guiding angel
is watching over me as watchfully
as last year when a score of games
per week were predicted after a
fashion. Who's got an ouija board
handy ?

ran' well but also exhibited skill
in punting. Altho he is not near
ly as accurate as Howell in boot
ing the ball, Mather has potenti
alities of becoming a classy
kicker.
As the clays go on, it is becom
ing more evident that Lowell
English is the best extra point
kicker on the team. The sturdy
guard has proven his ability to
kick extra points to the utmost
satisfaction of Biff Jones.
Sports editor of the Minneapolis
Journal, Dick Ctillum, arrived in
Lincoln Wednesday to cover the
I tusker-Gopher battle. Dick Mac-
Millan. another sports scribe from
the Twin Cities, will get here
today.
With the Minnesota-Nebraska
game but two days off, this is an
opportune time for Husker grid
lovers to take a look at the Gopher
roster, and then form conclusions
as to the chances the Cornhuskers
have of defeating the visitors.
A sports release, compiled by
the University of Minnesota News
Service, shows that Coach Bier
man has 27 major lcttermen re
turning to the fold this season
besides 16 reserves and 35 prom
ising sophomores. The Vikings
have the greatest array of grid
talent they have had in many sea
sons.
Known for his powerhouse plays,
Mentor Bierman used 55 players
as Minnesota won its opening
game last Saturday from North
Dakota State, 69-7. His reserves
played practically as well as the
first stringers in this contest, and
Coach Bierman is counting heav
ily on the subs to aid in tripping
Major Jones' Hu3kers Saturday.
Ray King at Helm.
Glue-fingered Capt. Ray King
is playing his third season at end
for the Norsemen. If called upon,
as he frequently is, King can
punt, and do a good job of it. He
is 6 feet 2 and weighs 195 pounds.
Playing the other flank post is
Dwight Reed, a senior from St.
Paul. Of wiry stature, Reed is a
hard-hitting open field blocker.
He is 6 feet in height and weighs
180 pounds.
Nebraska football fans well re
member Halfback Andy Uram,
who ran for a touchdown in the
last 68 seconds of the game to
boat N. U. at Minneapolis in '36.
This pesky, back will be here Sat
urday with intentions of harassing
the Joncjyncn and spectators.
Uram, a senior, is 5 feet 11 and
weighs 180 pounds.
An Enviable Record.
Halfback Rudy Gmitro comes to
Lincoln with an enviable 1936 in
dividual yardage record. In 20 at
tempts at toting the sphere, Gmit
ro covered 195 vards for an av
erage of 9.75 yards per try. How
ever, he scored but one touchdown
last year, which means that he
set the pins for many tallies made
by his colleagues. Gmitro, another
senior, is 5 feet 8 and weighs
165 pounds.
Lawrence Buhler, fullback; Wil
liam Matheny, halfback, and Vic
Spadaccini, quarterback, are per
formers from the '36 outfit who
will roam the grid rectangle here
Saturday. Buhler is a junior wnne
Matheny and Spadaccini are seniors.
Lettermen of wide repute in the
line are Horace Tell, Frances
Twedell and Bob Weld, guards;
John Kulbltski, center, and Louis
Midler, tackle. However. Coach
Bierman has plenty of line re- i
placements. j
The outstanding sophomore of:
the squad is Harold Van Every, !
a 175 pound halfback. He has been
pushing the veterans for a starting
berth thruout the past three weeks. 1
Cornhusker fans will get a glance
at him in action Saturday.
NEBRASKA MAY BEAT
MINNESOTA, BUT
WE DOUBT IT.
As time grows short before com
ing of the Great Golden Avalanche
from the lakes of Minnesota,
doubt shrouds the gam more and
more.
The general statement, offered
by any and everyone without
thought, has been for weeks, "Oh,
Minnesota will skin the pants off
Nebraska!"
Now, however, the Huskcr back
ers are placing more faith in their
local grid prodigies and few, ex
cept professional bookies will lay
any money against them. Those
who make a living at betting on
the gridiron plunders will give 18
points and take the Gophers.
Those who make a living follow
ing the teams, sports scribes,
won't give any points.
Jones Boys Underdogs.
Nebraska will go into the fray
as the canine on the bottom. The
reason for this Is the two games
played by the respective teams
last week. While the home town
huskies were grinding out a 38-0
win over their freshmen, the Vik
ings were having a field day over
the North Dakotans 69-7. Fifty
five Biermen saw action in the
fray, 29 of them being lettermen.
Coach Biff has barely a full team
of vets.
Wnicrhts of the Gonliers are
heavier than R. O. T. C. rifles feel
on a hot day. The forward wall
presents a near 20U pounn aver
age. Nebraska's is about 1S5.
Another advantage of the Goph
ers, tho it be a phantom one, is
their reputation. As king of foot
ball for the past few years, Minne
sota is bound to make any oppo
nent feel a bit like a pup against
a mighty oak.
Nebraska Has Thin Skinned Turf.
BUT, on the Huskers side there ,
are some omnipotent factors. Ne
braska has more than most critics
are giving them credit for, includ- j
intr an A number 1 backfield, an ;
aerial attack, a fast charging line, j
and an unsurpassable desire to i
"BIFF .BIERMAN!" The game
will be played on the Husker grid
iron and under native conditions
and thus one more factor on our
side. .
Snenkimr of teh Nebraska grid
iron; its condition is not so good.
This next Saturday will present
some of the poorest sod, on which
Nebraska has opened a season,
for several years. Its turf
appears to have been constructed
SCHULTE'S TWO-MILERS
COMPETEIN 'FEEL-OUT'
Andrews, Brownlee, Koch,
Owen, Allen Timed
For Six Laps.
Faced with the momentous
problem of trying to carry on
their marathon activities in the
face of the usual week-before-the-Minnesota-game
turmoil, Coach
Schulte's two mile aspirants put
up a nrave iigni againsi me ouas
Tuesday as five of them were put
under the watch for six laps
around the grass on the inside of
the curb.
Wilson Andrews completed the
distance, judged to be around a
mile and a quarter, in 5;51, toi-
lowcd by John Brownlee, Fred
Koch. Paul Owen, and Bob Allen.
All of the times were excellent for
this early season workout and in
the face of prevailing conditions.
Coach Schulte ordered another
"feel out" Friday.

S.A.E., Phi Psis Win by Low
Margin in League 3
Opening Round.
Long runs were in evidence yes- .
terday afternoon at the "flats" as
league No, 3 of the intramurals
swung into action.
Bill Shuck, of the victorious R.
A. E. team made the only touch
down with a 95 yard run to nip
the Sigma Chi's. Schroeder of
the Thi Sigma Kappa's intercepted
a pass and ran 98 yards for a
touchdown against the Phi Psi's
but the Phi Psi pass combination
Myer to Swartz wiped out the
Phi Sig's early lead and the game
was finally decided by the team
who made the most yardage in
four downs. Phi Psi won.
on the cross wc.wl puzzle plan and
in the 50 yard line vitals, it is as
thin as eyelids on a fish.
YEARLINGS TAKE
LITTLE BRUISING;
REDS TAPER OFF
Knight, Francis, Wibbels,
Newton, Hopp Rest as
Seconds Play.
Frosh footballers had an easy
time of it yesterday, spending
about two hours in dummy play
practice. A light scrimmage
against the varsity followed the
signal practice.
The play drills were confined
mainly to passing.
Coach Ed Weil of the freshman
squad did a little shifting in the
first and second string lineup dur-
I ing practice ana several immiuwns
were given a chance to show up.
Meier Laid Up.
Meier, who was playing center
on the first team, is still heing
held out of practices flue to a
sprained ankle he sustained in the
varsity-freshman game. Loo Ben
son is getting the call during
Meier's absence.
The first frosh backfield: Hopp,
Newton, Wibbels and Knight were
on the sidelines during the varsity
scrimmage as was Vike Francis,
strong bidder for a first string
backfield post.
The second string line was pitted
against the No. 1 varsity outfit
while the first string tangled with
the varsity seconds in last night's
scrimmage.
