The DAILY NEBltASKAN
Jfm

, By June Blerbower.
' Average home crowd at each
of Nebraska's home games this
year was better than last, the
Huskers drawing an average of
30,037 spectators to each of the
four games. Last year, five games
drew a 141,267 total for an av
erage mark of 28,253.
The last game of the season
that against Oklahoma, which was
the largest crowd at any game
played within the Big Six this
year brought the old mark up,
next highest attendance coming,
of course, at the Minnesota game.
The past two Gopher games
here have been outdrawn by other
contests the Indiana crowd two
'years ago having been the biggest
ever to witness a Lincoln game.
Of course, the knotholers didn't
get to see either Minnesota game,
and when heads are counted, a
dime seat means as much as one
for $2.50. Then, too, some of the
more faint hearted ones may have
stayed away from those two
Minnesota games because they
"couldn't stand to see the Husk
ers lose."

Hooker Herring, the Princeton
tackle whose leg was amputated
after an Injury in the Brown
game, was awarded a football
letter. . .Dwlght Parks and Jack

are outstanding basketball pros

ning teams... Iowa U. played four
home games in 1938... they drew
only 45,100 fans in all... they
played four games at-home this
year. ..total attendance was 126,
000... of course two of the home
games this year were with Notre
Dame and Minnesota.
Did you notice the scoring ave
rages compiled by Hugh Fullerton
,by sections this year? The poor
old midwest went on a scoring
slump dropping from a 15.17
average last year to a 12.47 mark
this year. The Huskers came pretty
close to that mark, averaging
12.67 points per game, which was
under the nation's scoring average
of 13.06. Next lowest sectional
average was in the far west 12.70.

mat squad
By Harl Hunt.
With five lettermen returning1 to
bolster one of the largest mat
squads in Cornhusker history,
uoacn Jerry Adams is looking for
ward to the wrestling season with
a sly look in his eye.
Although the Huskers lost Bill
Luke and Jim Knight through the
portals of graduation, Milton Kus
ka, 121 pound Big Six runnerup,
Lee Clare, 135, Ray Tomes, 155,
Paul Fidler, 165, and George See
mann, heavyweight, are expected
to garner quite a few points dur
ing the coming matches. Along
with these are Sam Salerno, 128,
Art Adams, 175, and George
Cockle, 145. Salerno, former A. A.
U. wrestler, is the all university
number and medal champ in his
weight division. Adams and Cockle
are the present point leaders in the
ag college-city campus dual meet.
Shelley Condon and Herb Ros
enthal, two of last year's letter
men are out of school but may re
turn next semester. Only shortage
of good material is in the 128 and
135 pound classes.
Among the non-lettermen mak
ing a strong bid for varsity berths
are Dick Terry, 121; Fred Hanson,
Dale Hunt, Jack Cannell, 128: Er

Newton Copple, Bob Vakoc, Har
old Walkup, 155; Dick Stastny,

With good men as these sur
rounding him, Adam may have a
surprise In store for other Big
Six wrestlers Nebraska's grapplers
could get no better than fourth in
the Big Six championships at Ames
last year, but the tough Husker
coach is determined to build a mat
team this year that would do just
