The DAILY NKKRASKAN
E IT !
Husker
sophomores
draw praise
By June Bierbower,
Although the Huskers boat Pitt
and Oklahoma on successive Sat
urdays, and although they
whipped the Sooncrs much more
decisively than did Missouri, the
dear old press doesn't seem to
want to have anything to do with
Nebraska, that NU-Missouri thing
some time ago having seemingly
eourcd the boys on Nebraska.
However, we shouldn't squawk.
When the boys decide to take note
of the fact that only four of the
twenty-three men who faced the
Sooners are seniors, things will
be stirring so that by next Sep
tember, the Huskcrs will be on
one hot spot.
Things right now look plenty
bright for thst time and when
the ballyhoo boys get through
they'll probably look brighter. Ne
braska plays at home five times
next fall, having "only four" road
games Oklahoma, Pitt, Minne
sota and Kansas. That will be
gratifying to some of them who
are always raving about Ne
braska's being good on their home
field, won't it?
And, getting into the future
still farther- do you know Nc
biaaka plays Minnesota and Pitt
on successive Saturdays in 1941?
Richt now. were trcttinrr a lit
tie previous, 'though. It's nice to
think about 1940 in case flunk-
itis, along with injuries and ill
ness, etc., doesn't crop out. But
you can be a little more certain
that you're right when you gloat
about what's already happened, so
we'll occupy most of this day's
column on Saturday and such.

Harold Claassen, Associated
rrcss writer, in listing the high
lights of the Big Six season,
picked, among other things, a
team of sophomore all-stars of
1939 or the stars of 1941, and on
it were four Husker sophomores
and four first year men from Oklahoma.
Claassen, in picking the young
sters' all-star group of 13, put
Bob Ludwick at one end, had Ed
Schwartzkopf and George Abel as
two of the guards, and had Vike
Francis a back.
Sooners picked.
The Sooners were Louis "Tree
Top'-Sharpe, an end, Roger Ea-
son, tackle, Ralph Harris, guard
and Jack Jacobs back. Kansas rep

John Hancock of K-State was the
center, while other backs were
Missouri's Bill Cunningham, Bob
Seaburg of Iowa State, and Kent
Duve of Kansas State.

braslra team against Oklahoma
said the Huskcrs, on the day they
played Baylor were the best co

Huskcrs really clicked on that day

Ei first gesme
Coach W. H. Browne, fresh from
Nebraska's successful gridiron
wars, joined his basketball team
last night as the Huskcrs contin
ued drills for their opening game
of the season with South Dakota
here a week from Saturday night.
Sid Held, prcmis.ng sophomore
guard from Lincoln high who is
bidding for a first team berth this
year, had three teeth pulled re
cently and will be laid up for the
next few days.
No starting lineup has been
picked altho Harry Pitcaithley and
Don Fitz, lcttormen from last year
and both former Jackson high
aces, look sure of starters posi
tions, Titt at forward and Fitz at
guard.
Goetze stars.
Al Randall should be at center
if he finds his scoring eye. Held
has been used somewhat at center
as well as guard, and Hartmann
Goetze, a fine sophomore forward
prospect, has worked at center.
Goetze will probably crash the
starting lineup alongside Pitcaith
ley. Les Livingston, Hastings and
Warren Radtke, Council Bluffs,
both sophomores, are outstanding
guard prospects, and the starting
lineup should come from the men
listed above.
Returning major lettermen are
Fitz, Randall, Pitcaithley, and Bob
Thcrien, center, and Irv Yaffe, for
ward. Bud Tallman, forward, has
won two minor letters.
Sophs coming up.
Among the sophomores who will
have to be reckoned with are John
Hay, Charley Vacanti, Lyle King,
Don Pollock and Bob Carey, while
up from last year's B team arc
Don Schultz, Fred Uhlman, Bruce
Duncan and Leonard Van Busk irk.
Footballers who may report to
Browne are Harry Hopp, Fred
Preston and Bus Knight.
The Huskcrs play eleven of their
18 games at home tms year, hav
ing the most attractive home
schedule in history. Besides the
other five Big Six teams. South
Dakota, Indiana, Stanford, Utah
Detroit and California play here.

looks to Omaha vet
to aid Nebraska chances
Jack Barry, who won the Big
Six swimming titles in the 220 and
440 yard events, is returning to
competition for his last year with
the Huskcrs, and Coach Pete
Hagelin is depending on the Oma-
han to put the Huskers high up
in the conference standings.
Iowa State should furnish the
toughest competition this year, as
the defending Big Six champions
will be strong again. Dual meets
have been signed with all the Big
Six teams except Missouri, which
hasn't a team. Grinncll and Minne
sota are also on the schedule, while
more meets are to be arranged.
Lettermen back.
Lettermen from last year are
Fred Rodenbeck, Lincoln breast-
stroker, Bob Simmons, sprint man
from Chicago, and Ralph Worden,
Alliance, conference diving cham
pion. Simmons at present is suf
fering from a fungus growth on
his hand, and Chatt is busy with
his books.
Eest of the sophomores are Bill
Edwards, Lincoln; Gene Widfclt,
Omaha; Ray Rolland, and Fred
Fairman, the latter from Shang
hai, China.
The freshman team is the most
powerful in several years, listing
Don Hilgert, Les Oldfield, Tom
Woods and Lee Hull, all of whom
were stars at Lincoln high school.
Best of the varsity candidates
are backstrokers Dick Van Horn,
Lincoln; Lloyd O'Neill, Naponce;
Cy Miller, Lincoln; breaststrokers
Rodenbeck and LeRoy Foster, Lin
coln; sprinters Edwards, Widfcldt,
and Neil Hand, who hails from
Lincoln; distance men Barry,
Chatt, Chet Fleisbach, Scottsbluff,
Charles Roberts, Lincoln, and
Fairman; and divers Nrom Body,

By Harl Hunt.
All's well that ends well. Ne
braska achieved its cherished year
long hope of downing Oklahoma.
With the 1939 season tucked away
to the satisfaction of Cornluisker
fans, the only remaining topic to
be d'.scusskd by the Downtown
Quarterback's Association is:
What teams will be selected for
the post-season bowl classics?
Two of the nation's top elevens,
Southern California and Tenncsse,
have yet to play two teams apiece
before the curtain drops on their
fx'iedules. Unbeaten Tcnessee must
get past a couple of plenty tough
outfits, Kentucky and Auburn.
Southern Caliofrnia, tied by Ore
gon in the season's opener, still has
two strong obstacles in Washing
ton and unbeaten but twice tied
U.C.L.A.
Important games coming.
No national final ranking is
possible until these contests have
been played. However, the teams
most in the running are Cornell,
Tennessee, Texas A. & M., Tulane,
Duqucsne, Georgetown, and U.S.C.
Tennessee is currently regarded
ns the No. 1 choice for the Rose
Bowl spot, with Cornell hot on the
Vols tail. Cornell completed its
first perfect season in 16 years
with a 26 to 0 victory over Penn
sylvania. Texas A. & M. must set
back Dana Bible's Texas eleven
Thursday after an idle week end.
Tulane, a good bowl bet, has only
Louisiana State in ils way. Du
qucsne boosted its national stand
ing with a Z2 to 7 win over
Carnegie Tech. Detroit is not ex
pected to provide much of an ob
stacle for the Dukes on Dec. 2.
U. S. C. strong.
The Trojans of Southern Cali
fornia, who have been getting
steadily better, are regarded as
tops on the West Coast since their
20 to 12 trouncing of Notre Dame.
The Trojans pack too much of a
wallop for U. C. L. A., their
strongest contender for the coast
title. The Uclans mu"t also get
past Santa Clara to maintain their
unbeaten record.
A Tcnncsscc-U. S. C. meeting is
generally regarded as a natural for
the Rore Bowl affair. Southern
California has power, speed and
endless reserve power; Tennesee
has power, speed, and reserves to
burn. Cornell, altho it has no sin
gle star, has a great, smooth
working team, that is simply all
team. Carl Snavcly's boys have
beaten Ohio State, Big Ten champ,
which in turn "beat Missouri, the
king of the Big Six.
Northern prospects.
Among the northern prospects
for the Orange Bowl, are Missouri,
Duquesne and Georgetown. If the
officials for the Florida tilt can't
chase down Tennessee, Texas A.
& M. or Georgia Tech might get
the call for the southern represent
ative. Ohio State won the Big Ten ti
tle as Iowa was held to a tie by
Northwestern while Francis
Schmidt's team was losing to
Michigan, UCLA played its third
tie of the year, this with Oregon
State in the Pacific Coast confer
ence as USC played an out of con
ference game and stayed in the
lead. Missouri won the Big Six ti
tle by whipping Kansas, while
Duke cinched the Southern league
title with a win over North Caro
lina State. In the Southeastern
league, Georgia Tech has won the
most games, but undefeated Ten
nessee and Tulane are temporarily
tied for second. Texas A. & M.
cinched the Southwest litle as Bay
lor lost, while Cornell won the Ivy
league crown.
