Jones has had to keep the public from watching practice mostly because there's no room for anyone else on the small practice field other than the players but Saturday the boys who wish they were running the team will get to watch to their heart's delight. It will be the student body's only chance to see a preview edi tion of Jones' 1939 team. There's no better way to get a line on a team than to see them, and if the game is held on the stadium field, we're advising all of you who can to come watch the Huskers in their first public spring appear ance since 1937. Sports stories, like times, do change, it seems. In fact, one doesn't have to go any farther than this campus witness the stories concerning Nebraska's football team last spring as com pared to those what there are of them of this spring. Along about last April one Alan Gould, then Associated Press sports chief, dropped into Nebraska's spring practice. Even up to that time the Husk ers had been pretty well talked about, but after Mr. Gould left Lincoln the tales really raged. Gould wrote an article about the Huskers in which he, unintention ally although unfortunately put Biff Jones and his Husker gndders on a spot from which they didn't jump until along about the time they had lost five games. No sports writers outside the state took any consideration of the inexperience of the Huskers, preferring to tell their readers about the prowess of Nebraska's vaunted frosh who breathed fire and ate nails. Now, the situation is reversed. Those freshmen, now in their sophomore year with one season of experience behind them, will be one year older and better next fall but if you've seen anything about Nebraska's football pros- Public may see final scrimmage Jones to open gates if weather permits game to be played Saturday Nebraska football fans will have an opportunity to see the Corn husker grid team in action Satur day as the Harvards go against the Yales in the last scrimmage of the year, if weather permits the game to be played on the sta dium field. The game, to begin at 2 o'clock, will be the last appearance of the Huskers until they begin practice next fall in preparation for their 1939 season. Harvards are leading the Yales, 6-3, and have two scrimmages re maining, one this afternoon, and Saturday's. Bob DeFruiter, star freshman back, has finished with spring football in order to catch up with studies he missed during a siege of flu. Louis Burger, frosh center candidate, suffered a sprained ankle in Tuesday's scrimmage. Losers lead after four innings; winners rally The Yannigans led the Varsity for four innings, 2-1, as the two teams played one of their few practice games of the season, Tuesday afternoon, but the first stringers came thru to win, 7-2. Brune, pitching for the second squad, allowed but two hits in the four innings he worked. He fanned four men, while on the mound, whiffing three straight in the sec ond inning. Brune and Worral pitched for the Yannigans, and At wood and Truscott were on the mound for the first string. Wilson held the hitting: honors for the day, getting four for four. Diamond soft. Taking all into consideration, a soft diamond and a grass v infield. both teams played good ball. Not until the fifth inning did the Var sity tie the game. In the sixth, they scored two more runs and were never headed. Tom Moates. who has been do ing much of the catching was at first base for the Varsity today, while Vernon Thomsen took Frank Ruhino's post at third. The box score: Varsity. pects in any papers outside of Nebraska except for a line or two of copy you've seen lots more than we have. However, we're not squawk ing about that, and neither is Biff Jones. There's nothing quite so much fun as an old fashioned surprise party and Jones might come up with a few next year. Anyway, there is, at this time, no danger of the Huskers being overrated and it's a lot simpler to be the underdog than the favorite.
