Dale Ruser, who underwent an
operation for a knee injury
Wednesd&y, was injured in the
midst of a match in the Kansas
State meet. ... he elected to finish
it out instead of default to Leonard
Porter of the Wildcats and got a
big hand from the K-State crowd.
. . . latest report is that Rowdy
Rudy Matulka, South's all state
tackle, very definitely will enroll
here in September. . . . Roy Coch
ran. the Indiana hurdler, hails
from Mississippi. ... he is a junior,
and a brother of "Commodore"
Cochran, a member of the 1928
Olympic team when he was at
Indiana. . . . Roy did the 60 in
6.2 seconds at the same meet in
which he broke the world's indoor
quarter mile mark.
A rather amusing Incident oc
curred in the National indoor
A. A. U. meet when the one-mile
walk was run off, or walked off
as the case may be. The first
three men to finish in that pet
peeve event, were disqualified for
running, and the surprised fourth
man was awarded first place. Otto
Kotraba, who won that event here
finished second, and in addition to
being qualified, lost a shoe in the
midst of the race.
Justin Bowers, the Oklahoma
tackle who was killed in an auto
-accident Wednesday, was named
on C. E. McEride's all Big Six
team over Gil Duggan his team
mate. The big Sooner from Jack
Benny's home town, Waukegan,
Illinois, had another year left, and
might have been a big star next
fall had not the tragedy occurred
He was one of the best linemen
against the Huskers here, and out
shown Duggan in last November s
game.
That all-important Kansas-Mis
souri Big Six game was nearly
moved to Kansas City where a
bigger crowd could be drawn than
in Lawrence. . . . Phog Allen and
George Edwards okayed the move,
but Chancellor Malott of KU didn't
want the game taken off the cam
pus. . . . Emil Narick, Pitt half
back seems to be quite the boy.
. . . he's supposed to be the
smoothest member (not athlet
ically speaking) of last year's
football team. ... he had a chance
at the part Robert Stack played
in "First Love" that of being the
first man to kiss Deanna Durbin
on the screen. . . . then, the uni
versity gave a Christmas party
for the students. . . . and little
Emil was Santy Claws.
Players get equipment
this afternoon; men to
work on fundamentals
Biff Jones will call out the 1940
football team for the first time
today, as candidates will begin
checking out equipment at 3:45
this afternoon.
Jones is looking for a squad of
between 80 and 90 aspirants, and
has invited all prospective players
to report. A general meeting will
be held to outline the plans of the
six weeks' training period.
It is likely most of the time will
be spent on fundamentals, and
Jones may revise the offense some
what. Most of the candidates will
be experienced men, and Jones will
be out to correct their last year s
faults.
Letter winners, varsity hold
overs and frosh from last year
are expected out to take advantage
of the recent wave of warm
weather. The coaching staff has
welcomed the milder temperatures,
and it is probable that more prac
tices will be held out-of-doors than
last year, with all of the snow hav
ing disappeared from the practice
field.
Most of the players have been
working out under the east stadi
um under the direction of Lyman
and Presnell. With the ending of
basketball Browne has joined the
coaching staff. Practice will con
tinue for six weeks, but no prac
tice will be held during spring
vacation.
Gone from the 1940 team will
be first string ends George See-
mann, as well as first string
tackle Sam Schwartzkopf, Adna
Dobson, Bill Herrmann, Bob Ra
mey, and George Porter, all of
whom have used up their eligibil
ity.
Bob DeFruiter, sophomore half
back, will be ineligible for sure
next year, while a few other men
are also in danger scholastically.
Since most of the first and sec
ond string players are returning,
the frosh will have tough compe
tition if they expect to crash the
first two units, although there are
several exceptionally fine first
year men.

rate in having soils which allow
for the infiltration of moisture,"
Dr. Condra declared. "Only the
Bhaly, hilly sections, mainly in the
northwest part of the state, form
an impervious surface which en
courages almost total runoff. The
sandy and loess soils, which appear
on the surface thruout most of
the state, allow for considerable
absorption."
Investigations are now under
way, he said, to develop better
methods of forcing more of the
rainfall into the ground. Valuable
aids are proper vegetative cover,
storage dams, strip, contour and
terrace farming, he explained.
Various Speakers.
A. A. Horn of Papillion, presi
dent of the drillers, presided. Fol
lowing a noon luncheon at the
chamber of commerce, the group
assembled in Nebraska hal nl the
afternoon to hear talks by Dr.
Condra, Prof. C. J. Frankforter of
the department of chemistry, who
discussed "The Invisible in water";
and C. B. Schultz, assistant direc
tor of the museum, who described
the type of animal life which in
habited this country thousands of
years ago.
The annual Dutch lunch will be
held at 6:30 in the Lincoln hotel,
Chancellor Boucher and Gov. Coch

Nebraska's indoor track team
will go against a powerful Okla
homa crew Saturday night, and al
though the Sooners are threaten
ing the Huskers on every side, Ne
braska's chances have been
strengthened by the return of Bob
Kahler.
Kahler has been out of competi
tion with a nulled muscle for a
month. He will compete against
the Sooners in the low hurdles tuid
possibly in the high hurdles.
Weir pessimistic
Husker Coach Ed Weir says the
odds favor the strong Oklahoma
team and fears that it will be a
tough meet. Last year the Sooner
team beat Nebraska 54 to 50, when
Bob Simmons pulled a muscle be
fore the meet and as a result had
to withdraw from competition.
His points would have won the
meet for Nebraska. Oklahoma has
a strong freshman crew from last
year which beat a far-from-weak
Husker frosh team in a postal
meet last year.
Lyda brHliant.
Oklahoma is especially strong in
Bill Lyda, Orv Matthews and Jack
Morris. Lyda, sophomore, a great
distance runner, had 1:58.9 mark
in the half mile last spring which
was better than Harold Brooks,
while in Orv Matthews the -Sooners
have a good sprinter. His y.7 sec
onds in the century was better
than Gene Littler could do. He has
turned in times of 6.3 and 6.4
seconds in the 60 this year.
Saturday's meet will be Okla
homa's first and only one before
the Big Six championships at Kan
sas City next week-end. It is
rather doubtful as to whether Jack
Morris, who is conference indoor
hurdles champion, will make the
trip, due to influenza. John Jacobs
is in the hospital as the result of
an appendectomy, while Dick
Smethers has the flu.
Hunt should wtti,
Pre-meet dope rates the Huskers
n. sure bets in the Dole vault and
shot, what with Harold Hunt and
Ed Wibbels in those events.
Gene Littler may set a new track
record in the 440, what with Fred
Coogan, Sooner runner who pushed
Simmons to last spring s record
and matthews who did :49.6 in
high school running against him
The hurdles, if Morris runs, are a
tossup, although Bill Smutz may
win for the Huskers whether or
not Morris is in it
Oral Hairston, sophomore and
Smutz will fight it out in the broad
jump. . The Husker distance men,
Brooks, Walker, Cook and Garrels
will duel with Ray Ganan, one of
the best in the Big Six, and Lyda.
