THURSDAY, MAis 23, 1939 DAILY NEBRASKAN FIFTEEN i ml t I ltd! xa V 91 by June Bierbower Strange thing about the three scrimmages Biff Jones' Huskers have staged this spring is that of the five touchdowns scored, none has been scored by experienced players. Ken Simmons, stocky 1C5 pound Valentine socker, who has already become quite the talk of Husker spring drills, has scored twice once on a short plunge thru the line, and Tuesday on a 60 yard run. Simmons, a sophomore this year, was carried on the squad last fall, but didn't get into any games. Henry Rohn of Fremont, who turned in a nifty ball-carrying job Tuesday as well as scoring one touchdown, is a frosh, as is Har old Kennedy, Beatrice, who made one of Saturday's scores. Jack Vincent, O'Neill, who ran 60 yards for a touchdown Satur day, is in his second year with the freshmen. Glen Oatman of Lawrence Kas., will be a busy young man tliis spring. Oatman, a star amaieur golfer, will be coaching both the Kansas golf and tennis teams, and the schedule has been ar ranged so that both teams will have their meets on the same days and in the same towns. Oatman. who will brina his lit tle brood to Lincoln May 15, was a Jayhawk golf star while in school, havina been araduated two years ago. Last spring he coached the K. U. golf team, but this is his first year with the tennis sauad. Incidentally, the best ten nis prospect at Kansas is Sopho more BasKetoan star nowara tn- gleman. Boyce Gatewood, ace Texas hurdler, suffered a leg injury in an early season track meet, and may be lost to his team for the season. .. .two Baylor freshman backs, Parks and Wilson, are be ing counted on to lead the Bears' attack up here next year.... fat ty Berg is really going to town in that Mid-South goll tourna ment her 148 for two rounds is 18 under women's par.... she has 75-73 for her first two scores.. woman's par is 83.... Elmer Lay den missed the first day of spring practice at Notre Dame because of illness. .. .the Irish are knee deep in backfield material. .. .Bob Sag gau, the Dcnnison, la., flash, will be a junior next year. .. .Harry Stevenson and Ben Sheridan are other returning halfbacks, while Steve Sitko, the boy who called a running play instead of a punt on fourth down against Southern Cal on one momentous occasion last fall is at quarterback. .. .two more vets, Joe Thesing and Milt Piepul are leading the fullback field. .. .Creston, la., whose high school won the Hawkeye state basketball championship, is the home of Husker eager Bud Tall man. Dick Toole, Kansas State sopho more, broke the Wildcat varsity mark as he won that event at the 440 mark as he won that event nt the Armour Tc t relays Saturday he did it in 50.6 Toole is but a sophomore, and the win was his f irst in varsity competition .... his parents had followed the team from Goodland, Kas., to watch him.... two former K. U. basket ball players were chosen on the all America cage team named following Inst week's A. A. U. meet at Denver. ( Mm spring grica practice indicates triumphant season for HnskeE's Drills reveal promising material for next fall BY DAVID THOMPSON. If spring practice is any indica tion, a controversial statement in itself, Nebraska should not be faced with any reserve problem when the grid season opens next September. Seventeen of the gridders are out for the end positions, 15 for tackle assignments, 19 for guard positions, 9 for the pivot spot, and 30 out to have one of the four starting backfield spots. Numbers alone do not give great assurance of strength in the ranks of the shock troops, but coupled with the experience among them it paints an im pressive picture of what may be expected. Four of the 17 ends saw some service last year. These include Fred Preston, Raymond Prochaska, George Secman and Jack Ashburn. Along with Glenn Schluckbeir there is a strong freshman crop of wingmen offering the Biffer plenty of leeway in his choice of ends next fall. Tackle Prospects Good. There will be no gap in the tackle situation next fall under normal conditions for names like Forrest Behm, Royal Kahler, Leonard Muskin, Clarence Hern- don, Sam Schwarzkopf, and Paul Goctowski belie any shortage of material or experience in these spots. Again a strong frosh group with boys like Vic Schleich, Ralph Whitehead, Francis Leik, and Jack Nelson provides a bulwark to fall back upon. The guard spots offer least in the way of experience with only Adna Dobson, Arlo Klum, and Warren Alfson back of the top last season guards. However here the freshman team effectively fills the gap with first stringer post tions almost three-fourths theirs. These are Hub Monsky, George Abel, and George Stearns, who along with the others on the frosh guard roster will vie for regular berths next fall. Four Experienced Centers. Four centers have picked up part of the necessary experience for strong competition. Bob Ramey, Bob Burruss, Fred Meier, and Dale Ruser fall under this category. Frosh candidates for the center position include Howard Kelly, Louis Burger, and Herschel Pahl. Veteran ball carriers and block ers back in the Husker backfield are very numerous. Roy Petsch, Walt Luther, Hermie Rohrig, Theos Thompson, Bus Knight, Harry Hopp, George Porter, and Kenneth Simmons. Seriously threatening there vets are fresh men like Henry Rohn, Ray Smit Jack Vincent, Jacob Ferguson, Harold Kennedy, Wayne Blue, and the frosh in eligibility Vike Francis. One can well conclude from this and watching their spring per formance? that the Huskers will go into competition next year with the best balanced squad in many a year. Nov radio station mokes dehui vifh Follies prevue Broadcasting a prevue of to night's Coed Follies, the univer sity's new radio studio in the Temple basement was inaugurated into the bioadcasting world of fea ture programs last night, engi neered by Radio Director Thoodorc Diers. The coeils literally broadcast be hind the "eight-ball," the studio's latest model microphone, using the big velocity mike which hangs from a "boom" stand for the musi cal numbers. The program, carried by KFOR, marked the first eve ing program to be broadcast by the studio, which is already a cam pus beehive. an 4 Kappa Szgs run up high bowling score Betas, D.U.'s, Delts, A.G.R.'s, Phi Delts also win intramural matches Doug Hall paced the Kappa Sigs to victory over the Pi. K. A.'s in the intramural bowling last night with his total of 380. The 1623 to tal of the Kappa Sig bowlers was high for the evening's perform ance while the Ti. K. A.'s ranked second in totals for the night. In other matches the Ecta's, sparked by Charles Pillsbury who scored 352, defeated Phi Sigma Kappa 1513-1231. Dean Scheele bowled 307 for the losers. DU took another third round match by de feating Xi Psi Phi 1466 to 1384 Chapin got 360 for the losers while Epperson led the D. U.'s with 324. Delta Tau Delta won from P. A. D. by forfeit in the finale of the round. Tuesday night Phi Delta Theta won from Zeta Beta Tau 1398 to 1296. Bill Fox led the victors with an even 300 while Stan Slosburg was the big gun of the Z. B.

Sooners lose an cage meet Oregon trips Drake's 'Boy Scats' by 55-37 Oklahoma, Big Six basketball champs, dropped a 55 to 37 con test to Oregon university in the finals of the western regional tournament of the National Col legiate Athletic association in the Treasure Island coliseum of the Golden Gate international exposi tion Tuesday night. Drake's men were unable to penetrate Oregon defense effec tively, while the elongated Web feet pierced the Sooner ranks for frequent setups. It was the un canny ability of the Oregon for wards to make their one hand push shots that proved the nem csm of the midwest entry. The Orgonians led from late in the first canto until the end of the game, never letting Oklahoma get close enough to seriously threaten except imediately nftcr the start of the final period when the Sooners came within three points of the winners. Here Lnddy Gale, Oregon center took over anil sent the winners out to an un beatable lead. Yesterday afternoon came a constant stream of French phon etics students, one after the other, droning into mike "Bonjour, jeune homme, qu'avez vous fait pendant la journce?" and hearing their voices ground back to them from the fine-cut e'ght inch rec ords, two minutes and 20 seconds to a record. Yesterday morning the choir of university singers recorded the program they will present at their spring concert Sunday afternoon, to check on the smotthncss of their rendition. Sound proofed with double win dows and foot thick walls lined Silks, patent leathers for Nebraska athletes Since this Is basicly a fashion edition we felt that it would be the proper thing for us to air our views on sports apparel. Because nearly half the specta tors at all Nebraska athletic con tests are women, why shouldn't athletes wear uniforms and suits pleasing to the feminine eye? Instead of bulky, dull colored brown football pants, why not a delicate pink rose shade, bordered with light blue stripes on the sides ? Instead of heavy, soapy white woolen stockings, why not flesh colored silks, with arrows on the ankles? Instead of dull black, cleated leather football shoes, why not patent leather, shiny black ox- Silk or rayon or cellanese polo shirts instead of hot, disgusting jersies. . .glistening white ones. Instead of thick, ugly leather with presswood squares, the new studio has three rooms, the large broadcasting room, with mikes, oversize clock, piano, amplifier, scattered chairs and a corner cup board for script; a small control room containing the recording ma chine, control board laden with paraphenalia comprehensible only to radio engineers, and with pack ing boxes for Director Diers to stand on; and an entry or ob servation room. Handfuls of "wax wool" are stored carefully in a coffee can. The half-mile long strands of wax finer than hair which the needle cuts from the wax records make fluffy balls of highly inflammable "wool," which you can hold up to your friends and say, Took, my voice." The twelve-inch record is three-quarters of a mile long. The flat aluminum discs, smooth and shining to begin with, are rubbed with oil to soften them up a little, then placed on the cork padded revolving discs to be cut. Recording the voices of the campus activities students in groups, Mr. Diers expects to ac quire an extensive catalogue of students voices, from which talent may be drawn when needed to supplement the speech department voices. The studio will make elec trical transcription programs by university students and faculty to be sent to stations out in the state, thus facilitating time ar rangements for university pro grams. Every morning the weather re port goes out from the studio, and a program arranged by Ag col lege is broadcast daily at 12:15. The speech department does "Sketches from Life," minute representations of famous char acters, every Friday afternoon at 4:30. Next week they do "Alice in Wonderland." The services of the studio are open to all students and depart ments of the university.
