IPDIPY
By
Norman
Harris
When Slg Harris, Minnesota
scout, turns in his report to Ber
nie Blerman at Gopher head
quarters, probably his strongest
point, -which Bernie will work on
j
with no little delay, will be the
weakness of Nebraska's pass de
fense, at least the weakness that
showed up in the varsity-freshman
game Saturday.
Frosh back, Henry Rohn, prod
uct of Fremont high, completed
several nice passes, which weren't
just accidents during the fray.
Jerry Dutcher and Bob Ludwick,
Adolph Lewandowski's pair of
freshman wing hopes, snared them
without much trouble, as the flips
were true to their mark, besides
being genuine bullets.
What la more Important perhaps
than Harris' discovery of a weak
pass defense against the frosh
was the discovery of Kremonter
Rohn's passing ability. Big things
were expected of Henry as far as
track and field was concerned. He
has a reputation a a fine high
school football player, but still, he
was expected to be mors valuable
as a weight man for Ed Weir.
Indications lead us to believe
that Rohn will pass the ball with
greater accuracy in the future,
and as a good passer is one of
the most valuable assets the Ma
jor can possibly have next year,
his prominence in football is
likely, although not to be stated
definitely, to exceed his abilities
in track and field competition.
Jerry Dutcher and Bob Ludwick
are future Husker ends, for sure.
With a little more weight, Lud
wick will develop into a fine wing
man. His fingers have glue at their
tips. As for Dutcher, this former
Benson high hot-head is slated for
laurels in both football and basket
ball. Besides these three men, who
have made themselves so obvious
because of their ability to play the
game, there are at least a dozen
others on Lewandowski's freshman
squad who have potentialities that
sre liable to turn them into more
Brocks, Shireys, or Cardwclls. A
few of these are Hub Monsky. Jack
Stubbs, and Bob Sconce. There are
others, too, whom I can't bring to
mind at present.
Again speaking of Sig Harris,
the scout remarked after Satur
day's scrimmage that the Husk
er frosh were a great bunch, in
fact, one of the best frosh teams
he has ever seen... and coming
from 8ig... that's a compliment.
Recent developments of Husker
football were topped by Major
Jones boosting George Porter back
up to the first string line-up, prob
ably on the strength of his kick
ing and running in the frosh tilt.
Bud Cather, 150 pound Lincoln
halfback, was promoted to third
squad halfback, after his dis
play of fleet footedness and pass
Intercepts Saturday.
Incidentally in watching Bus
Knight practice kicking this after
noon, we noticed that the former
Jackson high flash booted four
balls over the practice field fence,
kicking from the bank at the edge
of the stadium. The ball must
travel some 70 years to clear the
fence. . .George PorU'r and Thurs
ton Phelps are still the most ac
curate punters. . .Phelps a little
stronger than the Denver quaitrr

Fumes and Fizzles
Doubtless indignant. Mike New
Berger of Omaha writes; "It looks
to me like the University of Ne
braska has been out Ivory hunting

university. When the head track I

head, for Biff Jones has always

four year university course, if he
would transfer to Beatrice. Well,

Pitt's offer.

Biff Chalk Talks
As Two Veterans
Limp With Injuries
Major Ponders 38-Year
Record of Three Wins
Minus the services of Charley
Brock and Sam Schwarzkopf, of
Jones gave the team a long chalk
talk and practice on aerial and
punting tactics Monday afternoon.
Brock worked out in a sweat suit
because of an infected ankle, and
Schwartzkopf is on the injured list
because of an arm injury.
Reports from Minneapolis are
full of praise for Bernie Blerman
and his now-mighty Gophers. After
moaning in print all last week,
Blerman now states that: "I didn't
think my boys could do that good."
The game with Washington, one
of the finest teams on the coast,
shows that Minnesota has tremen
dous power. Moreover they have a
fine pass defense and their defense
against ground attack is at least
equal to that of years gone by.
Against the Huskies they employed
only the simplest plays, and this
plus alertness enabled Bicrman to
withhold most of his trick plays
which will probably be seen next
Saturday. On the whole the work
manlike efficiency of the Gophers
was very unusual for so early in
the year.
There is no doubt but that Minn
esota can be stopped, but if they
played, like reported, the last three
quarters of the Washington game,
they will be hard to stop.
Victors Three Imes.
Over a span of 38 years Nebras
ka has won only three games, los
ing H and gaining a pair of ties
to the Gopher school. Last season's
unexpected victory over Minnesota
marked by Biff Jones' debut as
Cornhusker coach, must be termed
as one of the greatest victories in
N. U. football history.

When a football eleven trots
onto the field you may be sure
that there are three leaders among
them. There will be the acting cap
tain, the quarterback, and the nat
ural leader. Each will help share
the burden of trying to conduct
the team to victory. Occasionally
two of these leadership assign
ments will be held by one man.
Surh is the case with Thurston
Ha is charted with doine the
heavy thinking for the Husker ag
greKalion this year, and also has
natural tendencies toward leader
ship. Phelps is not only a quick
thinking quarterback, but is also
a field general whose decision can
be relied upon by the other mem
bers of the team.
Last year "Thursty" played ser

varsity when Johnnie was on the
bench with injuries. This will be a
much harder year for Phelps,
however, as he will be called upon
to do a substantial share of tly?
punting and passing, besides his
regular duties as pilot.
The call of Law nearly plucked
Phelps from under the Biffer'l
nose. He was planning to enter
law college last spring, but that
would automatically make him in-
possessed a degree. Therefore, he
decided to enroll for another year
in the College of Arts and Science,
and complete his three years of
varsity football.
Thurston has one year of voting
experience lichlnd him, snd wt-lphs
in at 13. He is a product of Fx
eter, Neh and is often called the
"Exeter Earthquake" by the mem
bers of the squad.
The fact that "Thursty" was In

bearing on the prewnt. He may be

around the campus with some filly

This weekend sees Big Six
prestige (what there is of it) put
to a pretty stern test. The old
league didn't do so badly over the
weekend, with Iowa State beating
Denver, and Kansas barely up
setting D. X. Bible's Texans.
However, last weekend's games
look a bit dull when one takes a
peek at Saturday's games. There's
already been enough said about
the Minneapolis affair, so we'll
skip that for a while. Kansas State
is another midland team who in
vades Big Ten territory, the Wild
cats going after Northwestern,
who are also Wildcats. Oklahoma
has nothing more to do than run
up against Rice, a team picked for
national supremacy by some writ
ers. '
Kansas will try for their sec
ond victory of the season this
time against Notre Dame. Mis
souri won't have any setup against
Colorado, but their assignment,
along with that of Iowa State
against Luther college, looks like
the easiest in the league. How
ever, Luther, although unknown
nationally, will be laying for the
State team, and may make a
pretty tough afternoon for the Cy
clones. Pity the country's poor frosh
Saturday. Missouri beat their
yearlings 103-6, with Bill Ame
lung, heretofore mostly known as
a passer, scoring five touchdowns.
Bill Cunningham, 195 pound soph
omore ace for the Tigers, frac
tured a small bone in his leg, and
may be out for the season, though.
At isconsin. in a two hour scrim
mager the Badgers scored 15
touchdowns and eleven extra
points, with Captain Howie Weiss
scoring four touches and three
conversions.
C. E. McEride of the Kansas
City Star is pretty "high" on
Ralph Miller, Kansas sophomore
who passed for one of the Jay
hawks touchdowns against Texas,
and ran 90 yards on a pass inter
ception for another. He says Miller
may be another Lloyd Cardwell
or Sam Francis. Miller nearly lost
the Jayhawks' lead nft"- "stnb

Star of '24
Returns to
'Choppy' Rhodes
Coaches Blair Team
In Blair, Neb., a small town
I north of Omaha, a once famous
j N. U. gridiron star is making a
I new name for himself in the foot
ball world. It was back in the
years of "23" and "24" that th
name "Choppy Rhodes' was a
watchword among Nebraska foot
ball fans. It was "Choppy Rhodes"
who helped lead the Cornhuskers
to victories over Notre Dame and
many of the other stronger teams
in the country. His dashing speed
and efficiency on the field became
almost legendary. Then, like all
other stars, "Choppy" graduated.
For several years, his name took
a back seat on the sport pages of
the midwest. Then in 1933
"Choppy Rhodes" was again in
cluded in the writing vocabulary
of every sports editor. However,
this time, it was not gridder
Rhodes but Coach "Choppy
Rhodes, mentor for the University
of Wyoming's winning 11.
After a comparatively short
stay, "Choppy" left Wyoming's
coaching staff for a position with
a Nebraska concrete firm. During
his years with that company, he
was constantly bothered with the
"yen to be back directing ath
letlcs. This summer, the board of
education at Blair offered him
contract to coach their high school
football team and he accepted.
Blair had not had a football
team for a year and when "Chop
py" called his first practice ses'
sion. he found most of his ma'
terial eager but pitifully inexperi-
successful, would have

Rhea, another tormer Nebraska
gridder, he set about teaching his
boys football from the bottom up.
A week ago Friday night, he
sent his comparatively light and
inexperienced team against a
much heavier and more experi

When the final gun went off,
"Choppy's" proteges had piledTip

With a fine start on a success

real test will come later this sea

the Creighton Prepsters from Om

make his comeback into the sports

Husker followers are always
glad to see good teams at Lincoln

two schools comes a very great
percentage of Nebraska U. per

this year, and may not come
