HUSKERS DROP 41-28 CAGE TILT AT AMES

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.
