John Micheleson, former Pitt back, never played pro football because Jock Sutherland promised him an assistant's coaching job wherever he (Jock) coached.... now he's taking Michelesen with him to the Brooklyn Dodgers, but there's a little question as to draft rights which various pro teams may hold on the ex-Pitt player... he'll play, not coach. While on that subject, they say the Washington U. football players had been casting around for offers from other schools when they heard Sutherland might get the coaching job there. . . .said players were afraid Jock would bring along tome boys of his own and boot the Washington players out of their campus jobs. We hear that Rudy Matulka, two-year all state tackle from Omaha South, will probably enrol here next fall and not at Southern Cal as waa previously reported .... for those who are getting too happy about next year's football prospects, need we remind them that the Hunkers face Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa and Pittsburgh, four Saturdays in a row.... they play the Sooncrs and Titt away from home. .. .first three games are Minnesota at Minneapolis, Indiana here, and Kansas at Law rence. .. .that's the earliest the Huskers have met KU in some time.... last two games, with Iowa State and Kansas State, are here.. .. .that's the latest the Huskers have played the Cyclones in a long time, too.

Prep gymnasts get instructions Coaches and athletes from five Nebraska high schools plowed through Saturday's snowstorm to receive instructions in gymnastics from Coach Charley Miller and the Husker gymnastics squad in preparation for the first Nebraska high school gym meet which is to be held early this March. Thirty-six athletes ana five coaches represented Grand Island, Hastings, Nelson, Omaha Benson, and Omaha Tech high schools at the demonstration.

Speaking of showing the boys from the old home state, Hart mann Geotze certainly had a night of it against the Tigers. .. .his performance, both offensively and defensively wa3 just about as good as we've seen a sophomore turn in.... shades of the days when Al Werner, Sam Francis, Bill Anderson used to play against KU.... funny how peaple love a winner.... at Saturday night's basketball game, an unidentified rooter near the Missouri bench, who had evidently been hit on the head once too often or who had had one too many at Freddie's was all for the Huskers as long as they were ahead. .. .greatest team you ever saw. . . .but he was pretty sour on them at the end of the game.... from the sounds of the comments the Huskers got toward the end as compared with those they got at the beginning, a lot of other winner-lovers agreed with him.... but they weren't bo vociferous, or nearly so funny. respectively, are the other men en tered, and any one of them may be a potential champion. First two rounds of the light heavyweight and heavy divisions will be run off in Wednesday's "sudden-death" affair, leaving only the championship event for Thurs day. Dean Condra presides at geologist's meeting Dean G. E. Condra director of the conservation and survey di vision, who is president of the American Association of State Geologists will preside at the an nual convention of the organiza tion in Washington, D.

Cribbing has never been so much in the open as found during this last exam according to the editorial "As long as grades are at a premium we object to this persistent gypping." Dean Edgar A. Holt praised the editorial and stated "recently evi dence of cheating has come to light, and we are taking steps to remedy the condition by watching classes more closely."

No women prexics say the vomcn Russell Sage college's 700 women students overwhelmingly voted against members of their sex becoming president of the United States, vice president or even a cabinet member. The recent poll announced that women lack the required physical and emotional stability; have not yet acquired sufficient experience in public affairs and cannot "es cape the pettiness of life."
