A look aM he Huskers . .
BY JOHN M'DERMOTT.
Nebraska's Cornhuskera going
into the first game are definitely
an improved squad over the 1938
Varsity. The squad as a whole has
come along fast since last spring.
The wingman
Big question around here is, of
course, about how the Husker-
Hoosier game la going to turn out
Saturday.
Both squads are composed main
ly of Juniors, and both have plenty
of stuff in the backficld, although
the Huskers probably have th
edge there if for no other rearon
than the fact that two Hooslors,
Clee Maddox and Cobb Lewis are
out because of injuries.
In the line, the Huskers will be
missing Charley Brock and the
Hoosiors will miss Bob Haak. for
whom 'tis said the Hoosiers have
had trouble finding suitable re
nlacements. The Huskers have
two lettermen back at center, and
one of them. Bob Burruss, who
will be first substitute for game
captain Bob Ramey, played a great
came acauist the Hoosiers last
year.
Both squads are strong at
guards. Captain Jim Logan and a
tough sophomore Gene White will
be at that position for Indiana
white Hub Monsky and Warren
A If son are leading a good group of
guard aspirants here. Dwight
Gahm along with an ace sopho
more Jurkiewicz give the Hoosiers
strength at center.
The Hoosiers don't have any end
as good as George Seemann un
less Seemann's knee won't hold up.
The other ends of both squads are
about even as far as ability is
concerned.
So you can draw your own con
clusions about the game from this
our four-star special prediction
isn't due for publication until to
morrow. First pep rally of the season is
tonight when it is hoped there will
be enough campusites at the rally
to make themselves heard above
the droning of the little bugs which
gather around the lights at night.
Last year there waa quite a bit
of talk about so-called jitterbugism
that had struck the Nebraska
team. We've talked about that be
fore, but if there was any jitter
bugism it seemed to this column it
was on the part of the campus in
general, which seemed to be under
the impression that pep rallies
were for cow colleges and high
jchool kids.
Not that we believe in anyone
working him or herself into a
lather about a football game, but
we're sure it wouldn't hurt any
thing to come out and see what a
rally looks like.
The rally committee has been
working hard' all week at least
brother Norm Harris says they
have on a nifty program, and
want everyone to turn out.
Adna Dobson's remarks to
freshman convocation yesterday, in
which he said the send-off rallies
are very important to the team
when it goes on a trip, are tru
so if you want the last pro-Ne
braska crowd to be a big one, turn
out tonite at 6:30. '

Four vet tackles.
S. Schwartzkopf, Behm, Muskin,
who played guard last season, and
R. Kahler are the seasoned tackles.
However, sophomore Herndon is
slated for one starting assignment
and Behm will hold down the
other. With three veterans in re
serve and Schleich and Knickrehm,
sophomores, the tackle situation
seems to be good.
Three varsity guards, Alfson and
Dobson and Hermann are back.
Monsky, E. Schwartzkopf and
Abel are the sophomore candi
dates. All three have been press
ing the vets, and Mosky is slated
i to start at left guard. Abel is a
sprinter, and he may be called
upon to lead the Interference. E.
Schwartzkopf has been doing a
stellar job on the defense in prac
tice. Dobson, who started out slow
this season, should be fighting it
out for a starting post. He has had
two years experience, and he
should be heard from.
Ramey, Burruss back.
The center position lists two
veterans, Ramey and Burruss.
Both are good snapper-backs, and
have been backing up the line well.

Whether that p re-season dope is
true or not will be shown against
Indiana. Quarterbacks listed in
clude: Petsch, Knight and Thomp
son. Knight did quite a bit of sig
nal calling last year, and Petsch
also saw plenty of service toward
the end of the season. Both are
capable field generals and both
have plenty of spirit and fight. T.
Thompson is an inexperienced sig
nal barker but is a smart field
general.
As for halfbacks, Rohrig, Hopp,

three are all good sized boys and
are expected to contribute their
share of touchdowns. Luther is
good defense man, especially
against enemy passes. DeFruiter
and Kahler are both good broken
field runners.
Fullbacks are Francis, Rohn and
Blue, a trio of sophomores who
are plenty tough. Francis has the
nod for the starting assignment,
but will be kept stepping to beat
out the other two men. All are
hard plungers and strong on de

Their best season was in 1902

and un scored on in ten games.
Worst season was way back in
1S99 with the Cornhuskers win
ning only two, losing seven and
tying one. Longest winning streak
was from 1901 to 1904 when they
rolled up a total of 30 games be
fore being defeated.
