With the Minnesota game only
a few days away, it's time for
this department to come out of
its shell and do a little forecast
ing... not exactly to predict so
many touchdowns, for that is
the most fatal mistake a sports
writer can make... not even a
coach knows how many touch
downs his team will score In
any one game.
What I have to say Is simply
this. Biff Jones is rated by many
top notch ob
servers ks one
of the best de
fensive coaches
in the country,
and by Allan
Gould of the
AP us the best.
This year, he
has a compar
atively inexper
ienced line and
a swell back
field. Last year
the s i t u a tion
was reversed.
Well, with a
fast, smart,
backf ield, t h e
timing of interference and running
plays will be no difficult tnsk, and
the lincme-,i have their grunting
assignments to curry out. Tricky
running play designed to get
backs past the line of scrimmage
would do the trick here, and the
Biffer Is highly capable of devis
ing them.
Biff has always been noted for
his record of never losing an open
ing game, probably due to the fa'jt
that he caxr bring a green squad
into shape for their opening game
faster than most coaches. His ;
methods of working players in va

Punters work on' one part of
the field, passers over here,

always there is something def
inite for each man to be doing.

they work, the fundamentals on

H those plays work, all well an.i
good... if they don't, then the
coach is blamed moie.so than are
the players. . and P.iff is a pretty
popular guy mound here.
So far, after viewing every
single practice ses.slon, after see
ing the fronh game ami after read
ing the articles written on the
Minnesota-Washington game. I'd
say that anyone traveling K)0 odd

Campus Cop
Promises Tickets
Sergeant Regler, campus police
man, turned traffic cop for 15 min
utes Tuesday noon when the signal
light at 14th and R stuck. An
electrician fixed the connections in
short order. Altho the heavy noon
time traffic became congested,
there were no mishaps. The ser
geant explained that the trouble
was due to the fact that the knife
switch which automatically chang
es the lights, stuck in one position.
For traffic violations, Sgt. Reg
ler is still handing out warning
cards. After 12 p. 111. Sunday, how
ever, offenders will not get off so
easily, for Monday, official police
tags will be given to violators of
traffic laws.
Frosh Learn Plays
Yearlings Use
Minnesota Plays
Against Varsity
Frosh football men have been
helping the varsity this week by
learning plays and formations
that the scouts have brought
back from Minnesota and Iowa
State. Harold Erowne, varsity end
coach, watched Minnesota roll
over the Washington Huskies last
Saturday, and Freshman coach
Lewandowskl went to Denver for
a look at Iowa State.
At this time every year quite
a numbei of freshmen drop out
of football practice and later in
the year a few more drop out be
cause of scholastic difficulties.
Out of such a large quad that the
freshman coaches had to work
with this year, not so many have
dropped. This is an encouraging
sign for future Cornhusker fool
ball teams.

Second, there is the subject of
what to read on the journey to
Minnesota, besides labels. This is
easy. You can buy your favorite
Lincoln newspaper and keep it
from public consumption for about
five minutes or Imp a heavier,
thicker Minneapolis paper and
keep it two minutes longer. It
wouhl also be well to have a
weight chart comparing the two
teams so that there will be no
rhanee of starting a fight with
someone else over that moment
ous point.
Third, there is the question, or
rather, the problem, of company.
There is no uniform solution for
this. You're on your own here.
No Pennants.
Fourth, there ia the matter of
what souveneirs to buy or what
to take into the stadium. Stay
away from pennants until after
game time. In fact, as soon as you
have sealed yourself In the sta
dium, it would be wise to look
around you and collar all the pen
nants in sight If you value your
eyesight. It Is also a good thing
to let somebody else buy a pro
gram because it will soon become
a community affair anyway. You
should particularly make It a point
not to wear your own hat. Any
old thing off of a street peddler's
horse's head will do. That's what
your hat will look like anyway at
the end of the game.
(If there aren't too many com
plaints received on this today,
there might be another article cov
ering; what was omitted today, or
going a step farther , and telling
you what should be brought back
from Minnesota besides a head
ache.)
Minnesota's pass defense, which,
along with its quarterbacking was
not so good in the crucial mo
ments of last year's game with
the Huskers, looked pretty bright
against Washington, It's common
knowledge now that lineman Bob
Johnson, who plays defensive half
back, intercepted one Huskie pass
and went 77 yards for a score.
Minnesota intercepted four other
tosses, while eight were incom
plete. The ex-Chicago boys did get
86 yards on the four passes they
completed, but their passing
threats eventually would wind up
in an interception on the Gophers'
part.

Certain Minnesota observes and

fooled as to Biff Jones system
this year as they were last. Last
fall the varsity didn't show much
in the freshman game, and when
warned that the Huskers were

scoffed at the idea. He didn't think
Biff would waste a practice by
forward passes this year, and de
