"Starting out on the
right foot" is the term
to be applied to Fresh
men Football Coach
Lewadowski for his sin
cere talk to over 100
freshman footballers
trying out for the 1938
freshmanteam. That
talk of Lew's was most
notable because he
stressed scholarship as being the
main activity of every grldman on
the. squad, even tho his interest
in football niay seem to over
shadow his desires to obtain an
education. Also placed above foot
hall by Lew was work, in order to
stay in university to get the
sought for education.
"Football It third on my Hit
ef Importance for these fresh
men. Scholarship, and work
rank above football," stated the
frosh headman.
In careful and clear terms, he
explained to the yearlings that
they were to make sure they car
ried enough credit hours to Weep
them eligible for both the semester
preceding football season and the
semester during play. Using a few
varsity men as examples, he out
lined the importance that scholar
ship plays in the strength of any
team.
The sincerity of Lew's talk won
over every freshman in the locker
room. The coach will be liked from
tho rtart. all of which will go
toward easier handling of the team,
which, in turn should help produce
a fine group of sophomores for
next year.
Oct. 1 will see the greatest throng
of Cornhuskers ever to make a trip
to another city for a football game.
Five thousand center, block seats
have been reserved by Nebraskans,
and they are almost sold out.
Trainloads are making the trek
with thousands going by automo
bile. Our only hope is that Nebraska
rooters will maintain some sem
blance of self-respect in a foreign
camp, whether the team wins or
loses. Water dumped from the
windows of the Nicolctt hotel in
Minneapolis onto the streets won't
leave a favorable impression on
Gopher city citizens neither will
excuses and alibis in case of a loss.

"A long way to go," was nil

hour siTiininase yesterday aft
ernoon. Sloppy liloi-kinir. poor taek
liiiir, and weal; line play were
noticeable thruout the two hour
session. Several scores were
registered during the mix, with
George Porter, Denver senior
chalking up the first of four
touchdowns. The lanky quarter
back went over from the 4 yard
line while playing with the'see
striiifr lineup.
Next score was Marv Plock's
42 yard run down the light side
line on a double reverse. Blocking

of the linemen
made the run
possible, giving
credit to Plock

Tackle Thankless Jobs
Equipment Men Handle
All Grid Trimmings
By Jim De Wolf.
During the football games many
no doubt wonder who the men are
who take care of the huge amount
of equipment footballers use and
how much a complete outfit costs.
The average uniform costs 90 dol
lars. This does not include special
helmets, shin guards and other ex
tras. Men who give out the equipment
have one of the toughest jobs that
the university can give. Altho the
job does not last lor the work has
to be free from errors and fast.
Pop Weir, father of Ed Weir, now
head track coach, is the fellow
who gives out freshman football
and track equipment. Sixty-eight
years old "Pop" has been issuing
equipment for six years and is still
going strong. Before doing this he
had been farming for over a quar
ter of a century.
The fellow who holds the other
of two thankless jobs is Floyd Bot
torff, called plain Floyd by all the
varsity players, whose equipment
he takes car of. He has been giv
ing out equipment to Nebraska
teams for the past nine years. His
lob is an all year around one as
he repairs, dries and checks out all
the equipment. One of his most im
portant jobs is to mark all equip
ment. Incidentally, he was the one
who painted all the quarter sleeve
shirts so that no one but football
players could use them.
The least we can do for "these
men who keep the uniforms shiny
so that the players look fine on
those Saturday afternoons is to re
member them when the team trots
out on the field Oct. 9 against
Iowa State.
John Morrison, a recent grad
uate of the university, has been
invited to be a member of tli
University of California expedi
tion to South America. He took
his second degree here tyicr Dr.
R. J. Pool, chairman of .toe de
partment of botany.

Line plays were marred with
piling up of first stringers by third
stringers, who, supposedly are
much weaker. Most of the long
gains were made around ends,
with first string backs coining
thru with timely blocking.
Only casualty resulting from
the workout was a slightly twisted
ankle to Worrall, fourth string
back. The Injury should not keep
him out of practice Monday. Alf
son, second string guard, saw no
action, favoiinsr an iniured knee.
