QUARTERBACKS: Thurston MwIm Is the single casualty in this department. Harry Hopp Stands Out in Memory BY FREDERICK WARE. (Sporti Editor, Omaha World-Herald.) Sigma Delta Chi invited me to set down my notions of the "high spots" of the Cornhuskers' recent campaign. The highest spot was the finish. Four or five weeks before the finish I reflected: "Gosh, I'll be glad when this is over." Thanks giving evening I was darned sorry the boys had played their last game. The team that licked Kansas State and Iowa and Kansas, and lost to Pitt was a vastly differ ent array than that which, for one reason or another (principally lack of no-now) stumbled thru its Oc tober assignments. The team learned. It fulfilled Major Jones' September futures reading. The Maje, you may have heard, thought his kids would be a lot better in November than in October. He didn't have very high hopes for a prosperous October. Line Comes Through. Against Iowa,1 and against Kan sas State, particularly during the nrst 'half, Nebraska was repre sented by a' better' offensive ' line than that ' which' helped to build the fine 1937' record: That line's functioning in' these 'two games may well have been the team high spots for the entire autumn. Another fine performance of the good old one-for-all and all-for-one was the defensive play in the Pitt contest, particularly in the early stages. I've seen the Huskers play eleven Pitt games; Though they WtvmgA Lincoln Journal. BIFF JONES. lost this fall's meeting by a bigger score than a good many previous encounters, never did I see Pitt re verses stopped so effectively. Mis piays, errors, gave the Panthers their scoring opportunities. At no time until the final game did the Husker forwards present a defense so sturdy as marked the piay of 1937's forwards almost thruout, but I doubt if any scarlet armored rampart in many a season ever performed a feat so brilliant a the line-and-secondary's goal line stand against Kansas State against Elnier Hackney, who as a human projectile must rank with Minnesota's fabulous Nagurski. These, I think, were the season's team high spots. Football is a team game. Seldom can one or Line Starts C icking in Final Two Affrays two brilliant performers succeed against balanced formidabillty. If this were possible, then the Husk ers wouldn't have lost on some of those October Saturdays. Jack Dodd s beautiful impudence would have been sufficient to lick Minnesota. Alert players have swiped the ball before, but never in the midwestern big-time was this sort of larceny committed with such brilliance. November Upsurge. Charley Brock's grand defensive play would have been enough to keep Oklahoma scoreless Charley Brock s and Bill Callihan a. George Seemann's fine work at end against Pitt, directly or indi rectly would have netted points and so, of course, would Brock's unparalleled performance. Seemann did even better against Kansas State, and the Huskers won because the whole lineup was playing a fine game. Dodd galloped long distances in other contests, and Brock and Callihan not only played grand defensive ball but blocked magnificently as well, Brock particularly and their mates were blocking and tackling too. Herman Rohrig bounced over long yardage as he, like Dodd, had also done in losing contests but these times the standout perform ances were the embroidery to sound and substantial team ma neuvers, and victory was Ne braska's. Three times out of four in November victory was Nebras ka's, and the standout item of the season was the team's upsurge in that final four weeks. George Knight and George Porter will all bo back. HALFBACKS: Jack Dodd and Marvin Ploek are both lost. Her man Rohrig, Thefts Thompson, Walter Luther and Roy Petsch will be back and Vike Francis is also slated to return having enrolled for second semester work. Ill health forced him out last fall.

Sports Scribe Lauds Athletic Department BY GREGG M'BRIDE. (BporU Writer Oru&ha-W'orld Herald.) The 1938 All-Nebraska high school football selection will be announced next Sunday, and as I study the hundreds of lettera re ceived with nominations for tne mythical team I am reminded that from this group within the next few years will be assembled tne Jniversity of Nebraska tooioau team. The Cornhuskers each year are numbered among the few athletic teams whose members call as their home the state which they repre sent on the football field, the bas ketball court and the cinder path. Each year the University team becomes the melting pot which molds a team whose players coma from every section of the state. Unusual Grid Crop. Thia year's high school football crop presents an unusually attrac tive list of promising college pros pects. The teams which moved Into top rank in the prep circle nave been versatile outfits with stal wart lines and fast, clever backs. The forward and lateral pass has been stressed more than ever ai tho in the pinch most of the lead ing teams have relied on power to pull them thru the important games. The ten top teams at the close of the 1938 pigskin campaign were: Lincoln, North Platte, Omaha Central, Columbus, Creighton Prep, Omaha South, York, Scottsbluff, Alliance, Curtis Ag gies. Interest in high school football increases each year. One needs only to travel to realize the close tab. Nebraska fans keep on tha progress of the prep teams. Let a sports writer make a mistake in a prep story and a flood of mail pours in to "steer him right." In the Panhandle sector fans can tell you prep stars and team records of leading eastern aggregations. Along the Missouri river fans can give you the qualilicauons oi tne western prep leaders. Much of the success of Nebraska high school football is due to the energetic work done by the prep coaches and the fatherly interest manifested in the high school boys (Continued on Page 8.) in the Iowa State game and dit not play after that. There are several players who stayed thru the season with the varsity but did not compete. This list includes Fred Meier and Dale Ruser, centers; Leo Hann and Fred Preston, ends; and Harold Herndon, tackle. No attempt will be made to dis cuss tne rresnmen piayers wno will be coming up to the varsity next fall, albeit there are ten or twelve of these yearlings who will be of great help, v David Leavitt Wins Awards Beaux-Arts Honors Architecture Student David Leavitt of Leigh, Neb, Junior In the department of archi tecture at the university, who sev eral days ago received national recognition in a nationwide archi tectural contest, received word that his "nine hour sketch" prob lem" was given honorable mention in another more recent national competition sitonsored by the Beaux Arts Institute of Dt-Mign in New York.
