Ah, fame at last!
Under the heading of "Will Ne
braska Sports Editor's Face Be
Red!" Dick Kelly, a brazen Dutch
man who writes a column called
Claw Marks in the Daily Califor
nlan, takes a crack, or rather five
or six of them at the "unorthodox
move of the Cornhusker daily."
Says he:
"It's just a case of going the
Daily lowan one further, or per
haps, too far. Last fall the latter
campus organ assigned the society
editor to cover football practice
after the editor and sports editor
had been carried off the field by
irate football players who didn't
like the criticism levied at their
ability."
Well, to that, Mr. Kelly, let us
say that Iowa and Nebraska are
two different places, for which all
of us in Cornhuskerland are very
thankful. Nebraska football is of
(-Huch caliber that "Rag" editors
and sports editors don't have to
criticise it much and when they
do, they have enough of that old
quality, horse sense, to make
themselves scarce until the affair
blows over.
"Overlooking the question of the
unfairness of such a move to mas
culine members of the Nebraskan
without interpreting the move as
a capituation to the coach and the
gridders who justly or otherwise
resent unfavorable criticism, and
forgetting it's just a publicity gag,
we still see complications in the
unorthodox move of the Corn
husker daily."
As to the unfairness of the move
to masculine members of the
DAILY NEBRSKAN our only an
swcr can be that members of the
sports department are working
just as hard for a gal editor as
they did for a man.
Then Kelly questions our knowl
edge of the ropes of men's ath
letics at Nebraska U. We haven't
told him yet that we served two
semesters as a sports columnist
and reporter of the DAILY NE
BRASKAN and during that time
found out a lot of things he thinks
we don t know yet.
For instance: "What's Miss Bier
bower gonna say when she walks
Into the grid mentor's office next
' fall and the coach greets her with
a handclasp that feels more like
a vise and a slap on the back that
seem sto pack enough wallop to
knock a couple of ribs loose."
If that's Kelly's impression of
Biffer Jones, we're stopping him
right there. The boys learn their
manners at West Point, and take
it from us, Biffer learned very
well.
Then: "What's Miss Bierbower
gonna say when she hears a for
getful coach let out a string of
cuss words that would shock a
Nebraska mule-skinner because
things aren't going along smooth
ly?" Guess Mr. Kelly doesn't know
yours truly just about grew up
on a baseball diamond. Seriously,
a former sports editor of the Rag
said he had never heard an N. U.
coach cuss.
"How's the Coach gonna explain
to Miss IBerbower why the star
blocking back who took a physical
beating in last week's game wilt
have to staw away from practice
for a few days?.
"Is Miss Bierbower gonna get
mad when she finds out she can't
visit the dressing room after a
football game the ideal spot to
get some inside dope on the game
. simply because the players are
walking around In their birthday
suits?"
First, we're sports editor for the
spring semester, not for next fall
But If poor Mr. Kelly la worrying
about red faces, dressing rooms.

Inspired by their victory over
the league leading Iowa State
quintet and endowed with the in
tention of avenging an early sea
son loss, Nebraska's hardworking
basketball team pitched into scrim
mage with a vengence this week
in preparation for the crucial Kan
sas State game tomorrow night.
The Wildcats upset the Husk
ers 43 to 38 in the first encounter,
and Nebraska is determined to
prevent a second such happening
The lineup for scrimmage re
mained the same as started the
last three games: Thomas and Ko
vanda at forwards; Randall, cen
ter, and Werner and Fitz at
guards. Lloyd Grimm, Bob Elliott
Bud Tallman, Jack Jackson, and
Irvin Yaffe made up the second
combination working against the
freshmen.
Free Throw Points.
Practice from the free throw
line received its share of attention
as the Huskers have won and lost
games in this department. Ne
braska won its first game from
California with gift tosses and
dropped a close one to U. C. L. A.
because of failure to hit from the
foul circle.
Tip shots and rebounds also re
ceived attention, as the scarlet
and Cream have been weak in this
phase in games to date. The im
proved defensive ability of tall Al
Randall gives promise of causing
Nebraska s remaining opponents a
lot of grief.
Nebraska's hopes of being up
on the top of the heap at the end
of the season depends a lot on the
ability of the Huskers to beat the
"away from home" jinx in its two
remaining off campus conference
games. Kansas is the only team to
date which has been successful in
winning a Big Six game away
from the home court, beating Kan
sas State at Manhattan.
Same Schedule.
Kansas State plays the same
number of games at home and
away as do the Huskers, with two
away and three at Manhattan.
Iowa State, the league leaders r.s
well as the second place Missouri
team face the worst part of the
season between now and the end
of the race, the Cyclones playing
three out of four on foreign courts,
and the Tigers three out of five
away. Oklahoma, tied with Mis
souri for second place, also has
three out of five games to play
far away from the safety of Nor
man. Kansas, with only four con
ference contests left on their
schedule, has only one to play
away from Lawrence.
Iowa State's victory over Mis
souri at Ames Saturday night put
them on the top of the heap and
lowered the Tigers to a tie for
second and third with Oklahoma.
etc., wel'll put him straight. As a
sports columnist for two semesters
we managed to get along without
any embarrassing incidents. Then,
as sports editor, one can send out
someone else to invade dressing
rooms, interview coaches, etc. As
for getting mad when I find out
I can't visit the dressing room
after a football game no woman
with even a subpar amount of
sense would expect to do that. Per
haps it would interest Mr. Kelly's
suspicious soul to know also that
women arent allowed In the Ne
braska press box. Then he would
have something else to squawk
over.
Anyway, we'll have to thank
Kelly, old soul, for one thing. He
practically wrote this column for
today. Maybe he didn't know my
granr'pappy's name was OLuby,
and that he hailed from County
Cork.
