TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1939 DAILY NEBRASKAN THREE HUSKERS DROP 41-28 CAGE TILT AT AMES r 9t by June Bierbower Wednesday afternoon Biff Jones' Huskers go out for their first work of spring drills, and, as per usual, there will be little monkey business when the boys start. First game of next year is Sept. 29 at Bloomington against Bo McMillan's Hoosiers, and with fall drills beginning Sept. 10, most of the work before the Hoosier game will have to be done this spring. The 700 mile trip to Bloomington will cut the Huskers out of at least a day of practice next fall, too. Saturday's exhibition four lap re lay by frosh relay team members must have been fine news to Husker football as well as track followers. Three members of the team which set a new freshman relay mark of 1:51.5 seconds for the indoor track are footballers. The fourth, Red Littler, ace of the outfit, was some shakes as a grid star in high school, although he has given the game up now. Jack Benger and Bob DeFruiter, who ran first and third for the team, are halfbacks, and DeFruiter, looked last fall as though he would furnish lots of competition for Jack Dodd's old position. George Able the remaining team member la a 200 pound tackle, but is one of the best sprinters in school. The boys in the hinterlands really "got hot" last week after Jim McNatt of Oklahoma poured in 29 points against Iowa State a week ago Friday, Howard Fngelman of K. U. followed with 27 against the Sooners Bill Menke of Indiana, a sophomore as is Engelman, made 28 points against Minnesota, and Captain Jimmy Hull of Ohio State got 27 against Wisconsin. . .Pitt's basket ball squad sounds about like the footballers take Straloski, Mil- anovich and Vujnovic for a sample ....Pitt has added baseball as a major sport this year for the first time in recent years Paul Fag- ler, Kansas State halfback and sprinter, has another football sea son left although this is his last track season He was out of football in 1937 because of a knee operation, but came back to school and competed in varsity track last spring. . . .As a sophomore he' was a member of the 1936 football team and the next spring's track squad Herb Scheffler, Oklahoma's basketball center, was an all American semi-pro first baseman in 1937, and will report for base ball as soon as the cage season ends. Metcalfe- (Continued from Page 1) calfe vigorously said that "com munists, fascists and nazis will all use the constitution as a shield while they bite at the very hearU of democracy." Metcalfe made clear that he was speaking as a private ctizen and was not voicing the opinions of the committee. He became at tached to the investigating com mittee because of the inside knowl edge he had gained as a reportct and as a member of the German American bund. Nazis Number Half Million. The speaker estimated that there were at lea-it million nazl followers and the fascist and communist organizations number ed nearly a quarter of a million each. Propaganda Is the most danger ous weapon of the movements and not war machines, Metcalfe' de clared. The evidence of this propa ganda lies largely in the major urban center, especially along the seaboards, but he warned the peo ple of the plains area must keep a constant vigilance for their ap pearance.

Iowa State, the defending title holder, enters the meet odds on favorites to repeat their feat by virtue of their decisive wins over the Huskers, Kansas, and Kansas State already this year. Okla homa and Nebraska offer the only serious threat to Iowa State su premacy. Both, boast substantial victories over K-State, while Ne braska has an added victory over Kansas to its credit. Middle Distance, Diving Best. Main Nebraska strength lies in the middle distance, and diving events. Pete Hagelin, student coach, along with Houghton Furr. and Bob Chatt if he is well, give the Huskers strength in the 220 and 440, all having victories over conference teams. Ralph Worden. sophomore diving sensation, has lost only one out of six contests, none of these in the conference. Jarrett of Oklahoma, last years diving champ, fell to Novak of K-St.ate, who in turn lost tc Worden. Only four of last years winners are returning this season in an at tempt to retain their crowns. George Haldeman, Iowa State, is the only doublewinner who returns holding both the 50 yard freestyle and 150 yard backstroke titles. Another Cyclone champ, back to retain his title is Gene Armstrong conference backstroke veteran. Jarrett of Oklahoma comes back with the toughest assignment of the group in the diving. Fletcher Spicer was Nebraska's only first place winner last year, copping the 220 yard freestyle event, and high point man for the Huskers in the meet. His place will be capably filled by Pete Hagelin in the meet Friday and Saturday.
