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

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

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.

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

in the Iowa State game and dit not

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

be of great help, v
