Sunday, December 10, 1939 The DAILY NEBIUSKAN ,1 Gageirs pent vMk ctbd over (Syties seiinr By June Bierbower. Probably the most significant meaning of the college sports edi tors all star football team pre sented In today's DAILY, is that it shows collitch writers read the papers. The boys who made the team, almost without exception, are players who received lots of pub licity in early or midseason, and since the ballots were mailed to Bob Kunkel in Montana before the last week in November, we poor eds didn't get to see many all star teams before balloting. So the fellows with good publicity agents the ones you read most about this year, are the guys who made the team. It probably isn't so bad at that. In fact, all the players on it have made one or more teams, and most of them have been on a major share of the all teams. In case you're interested, our ballot agreed with the final first team selections in seven places as we picked Kavanaugh, Boyd, Smith, Suffridge, Drahos, Harmon and Kinnick. Washington and Kimbrough were in our backfield, Wenzel of Tulane at one end, and Schliechl at center. Yes, we picked the boys about whom we had read the most, too. Our nominations from the Husker team were Rohrig, Seemann and Alfson the editors couldn't vote for players rom their own school on the two teams they submitted. Seemann's captaincy of the eighth team, which, by the way, had Brock of Purdue , Ison of Georgia Tech, Sommers of UCLA, and Bergner of Navy, meant that the Omahan got more votes than any man selected on that team. Jack "Monk" Meyer, who has been serving as a student manager for the Husker gridders, is going to give football a fling come spring practice. Meyer, who is in his fourth year In school here, went to Omaha Central, but had always been too light to play football until now. He weighs around 175, and the Biffer had him doing the passing against the varsity before the Kansas game and some of the sideliners who saw him said he was the best long passer on the field. He'll have lots of competi tion out there next spring, but says if he gets anywhere he'll stay around next fall to play. It's now certain that the Husk ers had an invitation to the Cotton Bowl game, Biff Jones having di vulged the fact at Kansas City. However, the Huskers didn't get their invitation until after Okla--homa had turned down their bid, ( and in view of that, and the fact ) that Nebraska's athletic council is opposed to bowl game partici- - pation for the Huskers, Jones didn't even bother to present the bid to the athletic board of control. Why the Sooners should be asked before the Huskers may be a question, but it was probably because the boys who did the ask ing thought Oklahoma would fall in line with their bowl ideas sooner than Nebraska not because they thought the Sooners were better (pardon that one) than Nebraska. But the Sooners fooled 'em, too the Orange Bowl having taught them a little lesson. Second half rally brings victory Nebraska wore down South Da kota's Coyotes in the second half last night to come through to an easy 39-15 win in the opening game of the season for both teams. Rube Hoy's team, playing with out a substitute throughout more than the first half, held the Husk ers to a 12-10 lead at half-time, but Nebraska with Al Randall leading the way, ran away from their tiring opponents as they rolled up another dozen points in the first seven minutes of play, and coasted from there. The Coy otes, who couldn't penetrate the Husker defense, relied to a great extent on shots from around the foul circle, and could not score a point during the first 16 min utes of the second half, substitute forward Albertson finally break ing the scoring ice with the Coy otes' first goal of the second half after the Huskers had poured m thirty-four. First halt slow The first half, although close, was ragged and slow, with the only excitement coming as the South Dakotans matinee idol for ward Quentin Evers poured in three nice baskets to keep his team in the running. Browne started Harry Pitcaith ley, Bud Tallman, Al Randall, Don Fitz and Charley Vacanti in the second half, and it was this team, sparked by Randall and Fitz, which pulled the Huskers out ahead. Randall, who was held scoreless in the first half, went on a basket-making spree, and piled up eleven points before he was removed in the latter stages of the game. Irv Yaffe, although troubled with sore feet, took over the Husker scoring after Randall, getting seven points in short order. Fitz starred Don fitz, Husker guard, who got eight points, played the best game of the evening, while Charley Vacanti, sophomore guard, looked good. Twenty-five men saw service in the game, thirteen of them Husk' ers. Browne used eleven men in the first half as against the five iron men of the Coyotes Snider, Evers, Ptak, Taplett and Cadwell, and the pace began to tell after the intermission. A grand total of thirty-two free shots were missed sixteen on each side. One came as forward Snider of the visitors held the ball too long as he stood to shoot and it went to the Huskers out of bounds. Guard Bob Taplett of South Dakota missed seven free throws alone, and didn't make one, Snider and his substitute, Jacob- sen, were both removed on fouls in the second half. Randall, Fitz and Yaffe led the Husker scoring while Evers' six was best for the visitors.

Big Six track meet comes toNU Spring carnival returns to Lincoln after year's absence The annual Big Six track meet returns to Nebraska U after an absence of a year, as the carnival was set to be held in Memorial stadium here May 17 and 18. The meet last year was held at Ames, la., and may be held away from Lincoln on alternate years in the past, Big Six directors indi cated at the conference meeting in Kansas City Friday. From all indications the Husk ers are practically assured of the meet on alternate years, and may have it oftener, the Husker track, one of the world's fastest, being especially liked by Big Six schools, Hotel accommodations at Lincoln are better than at any other con ference school, Iowa State having had extreme difficulty in taking care of the athletes there last year, some men having to spend one night in Des Moines. tthe demonstration given before the coaches and officials along with the high school athletes here for the all state football rally. In the afternoon Coach Carl B. "Rube" Hoy of South Dakota who was at last year a clinic also pre sented offensive tactics to the crowd as the frosh teams were again called into use.
