This, the last column of the
semester, and probably the last
one edited by yours truly, will
serve as a review only slightly
nnd as one man's forecast of what
is to eomo in this world of sport
during the next year.
Baseball, not far off now, will
see the Ruppertless Yankees lift
the former brewer's name further
into baseball's heaven by copping
another American League cham
pionship, and then go on to their
fourth straight World Series, prob
ably against the Giants . . . and
the Giants will lose.
Michigan and Minnesota will
be powers in the Big Ten, Car
negie Tech in the East, Ten
nessee in the South-East, Cali
fornia on the coast, Oklahoma
and Nebraska in the Mid-West
... in football.
Nebraska and Oklahoma should
be tops in Big Six basketball,
although Oklahoma went hay-wire
Monday night, dropping a 51 to 42
verdict to Menze's Cyclones.
Kansas State and Iowa State
will top conference wrestling. Iowa
State has the best swimmers.
Missouri has a hard hitting, quick
fielding baseball squad coming up
that will be favored to retain its
title for the third straight year.
The pro football race is never
anything to pick. ... I think the
winners sort of rotate.
Joe Louis will still be heavy
weight champ when 1940 rolls
around, Henry Armstrong will still
be the best little man, and Sea
biscuit will have become the
greatest money winner of all thor
oughbreds. Johnny Goodman w ill not win
the National Amateur, Guhldahl
won't repeat In the open, and
Sncad will be the top moneyed
pro again. Patty Berg; will
dominate women's coif. In 1940,
the United States will win the
Olympics, and there will be a
N'ebraskan on the squad ... his
picture was on the five cent
Olympic stamp in 1932 ... a
discus thrower.
In 1940, methinks, Cornhusker
Aiotball fortunes will rise to new
heights . . . and Nebraska may go
-bowling. Joe Louis by 1940
may have become too weary to
Into his crown and young Lou
Nova will be the next man to
avoid boxing's banana skins.
The Sig F.ps reign in intra
murals should extend into 1939
nnd perhaps 40, with the other
Sigs on 16th street, together with
the Fidelts and A.T.O.'s and
Fiji's following in behind . . .
maybe one of them will overtake
the Sigeppers.
The Rag will conquer the
Cornhusker football, basketball,
wrestling, swimming, handball,
tennis, squash, track, and field
teams, and w ill lose in the bull
throwing contest.
Don Budge will be THE pro
fessional tennis player, Joe Di
Maggio will win the home run
race, one of the Waners, the bat
ting crown. Monte Stratton may
pitch an exhibition game, but his
courage, foolish in its sincerity,
won't hold out nine innings against
the Yankees or Tigers.
Omaha still won't have a pro
fessional baseball team, and Lin
coln's won't win the state league
title. Iowa U. will have a suc
cessful football season in 1940 and
Chicago will break even in 1939
against such schools as Wabash
and other little denominational in
stitutions. Notre Dame will hit the top
next year and take the skids after
Saggau leaves, but will come back.

In Husker Victories
LAWRENCE, Kan., Jan. 1(1.
University ot Kansas athletic
teams are beginning to fear every
out-of-state opponent that has a
Kansas boy on its roster. It seems
that those Sunflower state prod
ucts always have their best nights
against the Jayhawkers.
Particularly is this true of Ne
braska, where, a Kansas boy pared
the Hunkers to a victory over the
Jayhawks basketball team Satur
day night, and another Kan. prod
uct kicked a field goal that de
feated the Kansas football team
last fall. In previous years It was
Sam Francis of Oberlin, Kansas
who wrecked the Jayhawk grid
ders. Alton Werner, who was a high
school basketball star at Frank
fort, Kansas scored 13 points from
his guard position Saturday night

Northwestern's first victory in
four Big Ten games, and Minne
sota's first loss in the same num

Minnesota missed nine free
throws, while the Wildcats made
all but four of their gift tosses.
The score was tied six times, but
Northwestern was never headed
after edging out in front, 22-20.
Minnesota won from Nebraska
66-37, as the Gopheis made more
than 50 percent of their shots.
Dave McMillan's boys also beat
several strong teams in their east

to load Nebraska to a 48-37 victory
over Kansas.
Fumble Leads to Field Goal.
Last fall it was Bill Andreson
of Plninville, Kansas who ruined
the Jayhawkers. In the dying
minutes of the Kansas-Nebraska
football game, Kansas led 7-0 and
was on the verge of defeating the
Huskers for the first time in 22
years.
But a Kansas tumble gave Ne
braska the hall around the Jay
hawk 20 yard line. Alter a few
plays Andreson, a senior, came
into the game to kick a perfect
field goal and victory had been
snatched from Kansas once again.
Wednesday night the Jayhawk
basketball team has another Kan
san to deal with and you can bet
that they are going to watch every
movement he makes. The man in
question is Blaine Currcnce, 6 foot
5 Inch Missouri center from Phil
lipshurg, Kansas.

Since this is the last Rug issue
for the semester. It should be the
occasion fur someimng exua si"
cial, but, sad to say, it will be the
same old stuff
First of all, ft little comment on
this Big Six basketball race, which
tonic further turn for the dally
side Monday night as Iowa Slate
beat Oklahoma. Missouri beat
Iowa State bv more than 20 pnir.'s
and barely beat Oklahoma. In fact,
the Sooners would have won had
Vernon Mullen made two free
throws in the last seconds of play
instead of the one that put Okla
home into a tie which necessitated
the fatal extra period. Missouri,
which looked pretty bad early in
the season, is at the top ot uv
conference with two victories,
while Kansas has lost two of its
first three games.
This is being written before the
Nebraska-K. Slate game, which,
with Saturday night's form the
Huskers should win, but which
they very well might not.
u
C. E. McBride in the Kansas
City Star tells of the time a bright
idea of Paul Schissler, then as
sistant coach here, saved Nebras
ka's hide against Kansas.
It seems that the Husker-Jny-hawk
battle was being foucjht on
what is now the practice field in
the midst of a downpour which
would put a 1939 Nebraska cloud
burst to shame. Neither side could
make any headway, and both
teams and spectators were slightly
disgusted with ihe whole thing.
Schissler, however, suggested a
change of uniforms and head conch
Kline consented. The dressing
rooms were about a block from
the campus, but there was one
lone shower in the mechanical en
gineering building storeroom, and
that's where the boys went. Schis-.
sler appointed a student "valet ' to
each player. Said student helped
the player off with his muddy,
sloppy clothes and into dry, clean
equipment all in the 15 minuies
intermission. In addition, he had
arranged for each student attend-1
ant to rub the player's cleats with '
a praphite substance to throw off '
mud.
Just as the bright, beaming
Huskers frisked on to the field,
the rain stopped, out came the sun.
and the crowd cheered. The effect
was disastrous on the Jayhawks.
who had come back in soggy,
heavy uniforms, and the Huskers
came thru to victory. j
I
Also notice that Kansas feels
pretty hurt about the fact that :
first Sam Francis, then Bill An
dreson, and now Al Werner, have
been nasty little boys and have
beaten their old home state for
Nebraska. And we thought Kan
sas State was the school that
was complaining about playing
caboose to the rest of the Big Six.
