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.

Husker cagers to meet
strong Indiana team Friday;
Huffman captains Hoosiers
Nebraska's basketball team,
fresh from a 39-15 drubbing of
South Dakota, runs into stiffer
competition this week as Indiana's
Hoosiers play here Friday night
The Hoosiers are among the early
season favorites in the Big Ten,
and boast a fine team captained
by Marvin Huffman, brother of
the former Hoosier football ace.
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,
