ffuesday, December 12, 1939 Tlie DAILY NERRASKAN Indoor track begins Jan. 20 with meet rrw im l o Jtmi & f if J- -TR-T imi iuii is x i m if i By June Bierbower. Evidently the Oklahoma players who took part in the Orange Bowl game last year have had enough out of the season footballing to do them for a while. Frank Spence, sports editor of the Oklahoma Daily, says in a let ter to this column: "The bowl talk this week had the students more excited than the football players. Jack Jacobs and some of the sophomores seemed anxious, but the seniors seemed to be ready to have the afternoons off for a while. Dick Fullerton, the Pitt center who was seriously injured when he Buffered a brain concussion against Fordham, was released from a hospital last week... he won't be able to attend classes un til February. . .Bob Seymour, Ok lahoma fullback, was married last week end... the Robertson who knocked down that fourth down fourth quarter pass for USC against UCLA is the Bob Robert eon who was an all-stater at Cen tral in Omaha five years ago. . . and our man Charley Brock is still showing the world why he's a great center... he snagged two more passes as Green Bay won the pro championship, one of them as the Giants were threatening to score. Two freshmen and two varsity players are facing a pretty dreary Christmas vacation. . .Ed VVibbels, whose football career was termi nated, at least temporarily, in the 1938 Iowa State game by a knee injury, has been wearing a brace on his injured knee. . .he's to take it off by Christmas vacation, and if the knee isn't healed he'll un dergo an operation for it... Jerry Prochaska, sub end who was in jured this season before he could get in time for a letter, will very probably have to undergo an op eration on his knee during vaca tion. . .same goes for Bob McNutt, star frosh tackle, who injured a knee this fall. . .Russ Erehm, frosh back, has a broken cartilage, too, and may have to have a operation during Christmas vacation. More than one-fourth of the University of Arkansas student body are relatives of graduates or former students of that institution. RENT CARS Always Open Good Cars Lowered Price The friendly place.

The Huskers listened to a talk by Coach Browne on the mistakes they made Friday night, and worked on plays against a man to man defense such as the Hoosiers use. Bud Tallman, Harry Pitcaith ley, Al Randall, Sid Held and Don Fitz were working on the first unit, as the varsity seconds scrim maged the "B" team. Charley Brock stars as Packers win pro crown According to Jim Gallagher, INS sports writer, Nebraska's Charley Brock, who is playing his first year of pro football with the Green Bay Packers, was the shin ing light of the pro championship game between Green Bay and the New York Giants which the Packers won, 27 to 0. Says Mr. Gallagher: "Charley Brock, Green Bay's freshman center from Nebraska, and Larry Craig, freshman end and blocking back, were the standout men on the field. Brock intercepted two passes that meant touchdowns; he tackled Tuffy Leamans to prevent a score; he passed the ball per fectly and blocked like a demon on offense; he tackled viciously." Green Bay drafts Nil's George Seemann George Seemann, the Huskers' senior end from Omaha, was drafted by the Green Bay Packers, newly crowned professional foot ball champions, Saturday night, as professional grid representatives met to take their pick of the 1939 college crop. Seemann, who had previously indicated he would be Interested in a professional offer, was the only Husker drafted at the meet ing. Semann, who is 6 feet 1 inch tail, and weighs 195, is a fine de fensive end, having looked espe cially good against Oklahoma, THESE AEfvAKTAGES htfere yea plan K ..A ,ur.d-trP ' M ..nd tor to one wY .,ha dolian i r- , 0;, and T ' lu.ury wV .11 hoM'V LUXURY RIDEI i J tVaia mod- .. r comfort ha- V ..
