A certain youns; man down in
Lawrence, Kansas, recently put
out his jaw with some untimely
criticism of that Behoofs foot
ball situation. Censored prop
erly, he now Is attempting to
help Nebraska football fortunes
with a statement, written by
him in the October 28 Issue of
the University Daily Kansan.
Lostor Kappleman is the Kan
san's Sports Editor. Hp writes a
column called Kap in this Kor-
lier , . . rather nice for a society
page. He says:
"It's quite a line that Riff
Jones is putting out at Ne
braska. ... In fact it's so Rood
its own backs can't even get
through it."
Please, Mr. Kap., have you seen
Nebraska's line this year? Did
you know Link Lyman was coach
ing the line? Did you know that
Nebraska's goal line threats this
year, save for one in the Missouri
game were brought about by line
plays? Did vou hear of the block
ing Hermie Rohrig received on his
9(i yard Jaunt against Missouri
Have you ever heard of Charlie
Brock? . . . and what reason do
you have, what information have
you procured to influence you to
make such a statement?
It's true that Nebraska's line is
green, with five sophomores in it
It's true that the goal line punch
hasn't come to the surface this
year. But still, better would it be
in your case if you wait until Sat
urday to criticize any part

Charleses Brock and Warren will

team. Charlie Brock weighs 196;
Warren, 184. Both are seniors,
, both mainstays on their respective
teams.

Oh, yes ... Mr. Kappelman of
Kansas . . , Nebraska challenges
your statement that you have the
best balanced backfield in the Big
Six. The Huskers have punters

blockers in Dodd, CallihBn, Knight

Lindsay Winds Up Drill
With Secret Sessions;
Jayhawk Hopes Rise
Riding high on the crest of their
surprising 27 to 7 victory over
Kansas State, Ad Lindsay's Jay
hawkers have been huddled Into
secret sessions for the remainder
of this. week.
Four K. U. Stars upon whom
Lindsay will depend to break the
Cornhusker jinx are Ralph Miller,
sophomore halfback, triple threat
er; Dave Shirk, mainstay of the
Jayhawk ends; Charlie Warren,
senior center, boosted by K.U. as
all conference center; and Max Ue
plogle, hard running Jayhawk
back.
These four have been standouts
in the Jays lineup week after
week, with Miller finally incurring
an Injury that sent him to the
bench.
The quartet will lead the Kansas
attack against the Nebraska inva
sion, which will bring with it win
less team, prepared to vent its
pent up fury on K.U. at Mount
Oread.
2,000 Follow Squad.
Husker sophomores feel that a
victory over Kansas would help
inject more of a punch before the
Titt game. They'll need the punch
and will be trying hard to lick the
Jayhawkers.
After an up and down season so
far. Kansas should be settled down
to its regular brand of football, at
least for this year. Inspired play
helped lick the Wildcats from
Manhattan, but that play will have
to be just as inspired to lick the
Huskers.
If Nebraska loses, the chances
are most likely that they will end
up in sixth place in the Big Six,
the position they occupy at
present.
Both Kansas and Kansas State.
the Huskers two remaining con
ference opponents feel that Ne
braska is due and are not at all
preparing any definite victory
celebrations after the games.
Cornhusker rooters, some 500
from the student body alone,
should number at least 2,000

From Lester Kappleman's Korn-
er in the Daily Kansan last week:
It's quite a line that Biff Jones is
putting out at Nebraska. ..In fact
it's so good its own backs can't
even get thru it." Had the Husk
ers beaten Mizzou or had Kansas
State beaten the Jayhavvks we
would have some other retort be
sides the one that the gag is pretty
stale by now it seems as tho we
heard a lot about it after the 1937
Oklahoma game. Maybe Kap will
have a different one after fcauir
day unless the Huskers are saving
up for ritt again, eh?
That one about saving up for
Pitt wasn't meant sarcastically.
for the Huskers might have a bet
ter chance- if you can call it that
against the Pant hers should they
(Nebraska) lose" Saturday. Re
member last year when the, until
then anemic. Jayhawks tied me
Huskers before the Pitt game?
Nebraska just about pulled the
fastest one of the season by show
ing unexepeeted fire the next Sat
urday against the Panthers who
nerhans took the game a nil loo
lightly because of the Huskers
poor shownig of the previous
week . . .
Stillman Rouse, who did some
great pass catching for Missouri
Saturday, attended a si. mhus
high school where a former Kan
University player coaches. Jack
Kinnison and Jim Starmer are
both from Kansas. Maybe that's
why the Pennsylvania and Chicago
boys go to Kansas, eh?
More from Kansas U: Thirty-
five Jayhawk freshmen grid
ders uprooted a goalpost on the
K-State field, and brought it
back to Lawrence where they
planted it with an outstretched
brace pointing toward Lincoln..
Kansas so outplayed the Staters
In the last half that the losers
made only one first down in the
last 30 minutes, and were unable
to cross midfield during that
time... The game ended with
Kansas in possession of the ball
on State's 12 yard line... The
Jays are pretty chesty about
that win Saturday and about
last year's tie, ami they're our
oldest opponent and about the
least successful, might we add.
Saturday leftovers: Littlest line
man on the field was Chillicothe
Charley Moser, sub Miztou center.
There's been lots of talk about
Missouri marking down their play
er's weights, but Moser must be
pretty leaden if he hits 170, at
which he was listed. . .Jack Dodd's
great chase and tackle of Jerry

midfield and crossed the goal line

make a swell one for the punsters

Win-Storved Varsity
Prepares for 'Loop
Basement' Struggle
Cavorting between the rain
drops of yesterday's drizzle, the
Biffer's Cornhuskers got down to
the business of preparing them
selves for what now looms as a
really Important Big Six tangle be
tween two evenly matched teams.
In years past, the Kansas game,
altho never considered a cincli,
was lust another Big Six game for
which no absolute strategic and
physical battle plans had to be de
vised. But 1938 sees a new situa
tion, with a Cornhusker team
coming up to its sixth game ot me
season without having chalked up
a victory.
Kvery member of the Jones Boys
knows that inexperience has taken
Its toll this year. They also know
that many Husker followers have
gone out on the limb to predict a
Kansas victory after the showing
the Jayhawkers made against the
Aggies Saturday.
The first string of Seeman, Pro
chaska, Behm. Mills, Hermann,
Muskin, Brock, Hopp, Rohrig,
Dodd and Callihan will work this
week to correct blocking mistakes,
defensive tactics, offensive forma
tions and especially pass defense.
Winless Wonders.
Hu pass defense Saturday
wasn't .jack far enough to knock
down those seven league throws of
Christman. and consequently the
Tigers copfed.
Husker blocking Saturday was
the best it has been this year,
leaving continuity only to be hoped
for. Defensive work of the line was
I weak, especially during the first
. half, with the result that Mr. Link
Lyman has probably decided to do
some whip cracking this week. Ob
servers noticed that the center of
the defensive wall was constantly
being pushed back, with Callihan
and Brock having to make most of
the tackles.
Backfield blocking of Dodd and
Callihan pleased the coaching staff.
as did the general run of block
ing during the game. Moving pic
tures showed some missed assign
ments, but a few are to be ex
pected. Spirit of the squad is somewhat
dampened by the winless string of
Saturdays, but that spirit is not
quenched. Most of the squad is
composed of sophomores who are
not licked yet.
Frosh defensive and offensive
squads, running Kansas plays are
preparing for a hard week, expect
ing first stringers to bear down in
preps for Kansas.
