WEDNESDAY, JANUARY W,
Th DAILY NEBRASKAN
IT
By June Qtertowe.
It. H. Barnard of the mechanical
engineering department sends over
a page from the Illinois Alumni
News for January 1&40. Contained
on said page is a story on the foot
ball banquet given in Champaign
in honor of the football game, and
at which Harry Stuhldreher, Wis
consin coach, spoke. To quote the
article:
"Recalling numerous Incidents
of his (Stuhldreher's) career,
when he was one of the "four
horsemen" of Notre Dame, he
mentioned Nebraska as having
at that time some of the great
est "human specimens" he ever
saw runners who didn't dodge
but plowed right o thru Lay
den got curvature of the spine
trying to stop Dave Noble."
As Mr. Barnard suggests, the
memory of the Nebraska power
houses lie faced must be indelibly
stamped in Stuhldreher's mind for
him, a former Notre Dame player,
now a Wisconsin coach, to speak
to an Illinois team about a Ne
braska game.
Elmer Hackney seems to be one
cf the champion "hard luck guys"
in college athletics right now. Last
spring after Hack broke the in
tercollegiate shot put record he
was hailed as the country's No. 1
strong man a champion shot put
ter and potential All-American
football player.
Unfortunately for him, tho,
two tough breaks came, and he's
just another "would have been"
for the present, at least.
That knee injury he suffered
against Colorado ended his college
football career and some of the
wise boys say they don't think it
will stand up for pro football. Now,
a wrist injury he suffered, also in
a football game, has ruined his
shot putting ability, even tho he
still wants to heave the shot left
handed. Coach W. H. Browne's basket
ball team will be going into the
Missouri game Saturday night to
break a four-game jinx the Tigers
hold over the Huskers. In other
words, Nebraska hasn't beaten
Missouri since the 1936-1937 sea
son when the Huskers tied the
Kansas Jayhawks for the Big Six
title, and won two games from
Missouri in doing it.
Last year and the year before,
tho, the Huskers dropped both
games, at Lincoln and Columbia
to their persimmon be it foes.
They led at half-time In both
game at Lincoln and Columbia
half. Then the year before tha
Tigers had won both games.
Missouri is the only team in the
Big Six which holds a mark like
that over Nebraska, as the Husk
ers have beaten every other team
in the league at least once in the
last two years. And with that two
years in a row the football team
has lost to the Tigers, it doesn't
make us too happy, and Saturday
night is about as good a time as
any for something to be done about
it.
Jim "Sweet" Lalanne has been
suspended for the present quarter
at North Carolina because of an
"irregularity in examinations un
der the honor system" at that
school... the grid ace may apply
for reinstatement at the end of
the term, but he'll not be In school
during spring practice. . .tsk. . .
tsk. . .Oklahoma A. & M. sports
writers are advocating good rea
son! why the Aggies should step
into the Big Six if Nebraska should
step into the Big Ten... all very
simple, y'know...the Los Angeles
city council voted down a resolu
tion to shift the Rose Bowl game
to the coliseum there . . . said shift
would provide more seating capac
ity, and therein money. . .also less
traffic congestion. . .but another
good reason for said proposal was
that the council didn't get passes
to the Tennessee-USC game.
If Irv Yaffe, little Husker for
ward wants to think he's a big
Ight footer, all he has to do is
look at a picture of him which ap
peared in the Minneapolis Tribune
before the Husker-Gopher game
The picture showed Yaffe bending
over and holding a basketball, and
was taken at such an angle as to
make him look like a giant.
Beneath it the story which no
where mentioned Yaffe as being
the shortest man on the team, said:
"They grow their basketball play'

Cornhusker cogers begin
workouts for Big Six game
Saturday night at Missouri
Nebraska's basketball team yes
terday began work for their Sat
urday night game with Missouri
at Columbia.
The Tigers have yet to play a
conferenoe game, while the Husk
ers, fresh from a 44-28 win over
Iowa State, will be after their first
win from Missouri since 1937, and
their first win on the road since
1938, as they dropped all five
out-of-town games last year.
The Huskers were missing shots
against. Iowa State, altho the
Cyclones were colder yet. Nebras
ka showed promise against the
Ames team,, and if they can keep
their play up, should be able to
make it an interesting scrap
against the Tigers, who are de
fending the title share which they
hold with Oklahoma.
Tiger record spotted.
Missouri's record is not so im
pressive this season. Like the
Huskers they have won. one more
game than they have lost, but
Nebraska has played the stiffer
schedule. However, the Tigers are
expected to be improved for the
conference race, and will hold the
advantage of playing at home.

W, H. BROWNE:
Lincoln Journal and Star..
The Brownemen expect their
first real test in conference play
Saturday when they travel to Co
lumbia. In expectation of a hard
game, Browne is working his
squad to smooth out the rough
spots.
Ames team ranks
high in grades
AMES, Iowa. Not only is the
Iowa State college basketball
team one of the best in recent
years, but it also does well aca
demically. According to the grades for the
fall quarter, just released, the 12
men on the basketball squad rank
above the average student at Iowa
State. The figures show that the
cagers came through with an aver
age of 2.53, which is higher than
the usual fall all-college average.
This grade point is more than half
way between C and B. An aver
age of C is 2 and a B average
ranks as 3.
Co-captain Bob Menze, senior
guard, topped the cagers with a
3.33 average. Carol Schneider,
sophomore center, ranked second
with a 3.18 average.
The cagers collected 29 hours of
A and 63 hours of B for the quar
ter's work.
itely dropped football in favor of
track, shattered the Drake relay
mark last year when he tossed the
plate 158 feet
Nebraska will again be weak in
the distance events, but the main
worry of the Husker track coach
right now is to find someone to fill
the shoes of Simmons in the 440
as no bright prospects have as yet
put in their appearance.
The Big Six indoor meet this
year will -be staged in Kansas
City's big new field house, March
8 and 9. Conference officials re
cently signed a ten year contract
to hold future meets in the K. C,
arena.
