Although the Husker veteran
backs have been getting practi
cally all the sports space, some of
the new boys had their day Sat
urday, especially In the backfield.
Dale Bradley, ex-Bethany high
great, scored the only Harvard
touchdown after he had taken
Harry Hopp's place. He went over
on three tries from the eight yard
line, after a fast-charging Red
ST ee had got through Yale's pro
tection of would-be punter Jack
Vincent on the Eli 8. A previous
Bradley-led Harvard offensive had
come to an end when Bob Bur
runs pulled a good old Husker
ball-swiping stunt from Bradley
who was carrying the pigskin at
that particular time.
Johnny Thompson, slender young
brother of Theos was tailback for
the second Yale combination and
turned in a fine job of punting,
passing and running. Thompson
was supposed to be light for col
lege football, but that didn't seem
to be bothering him.
Marvin Athey, of the Harvards,
another newcomer, turned in some
nice running, especially on one
pass intercepLion. Ernie Weekes,
ex-Central all stater, was running
well for the Eli's, and turned in
the best pass catch of the day as
he scooped one of Thompson's
from around his shoe string.
Elmer Hackney has been hit
ting 52 feet in recent shot tryouts.
.S. S. Reque, coach of Luther
college of Decorah, Iowa, where
the Huskers will play their first
baseball game, has coached there
twenty-five years... only two vet
erans are back for this year's
team.. . .Harold Byrd, Oklahoma
wrestler, gave Dale Hanson, star
Minnesota 128 pounder, his first
defeat in years and years as Byrd
won the national collegiate cham
pionship from the Gopher Satur-
f Hoosier who tossed a few passes
JT TSigainst the Huskers last fall, is a
atcher on the L U. baseball team.
.VJirn Lalanne, the North Caro
lina U. halfback who was booted
out for a while because of an "in
fraction of the honor system" or
just plain cribbing to you, is back
in school, or at least is out for
spring football practice ... 'twould
be fine if the attempt to standard
ize tabulation of football statistics
by the national football rules com
mittee would succeed... it would
make things much simpler for
sports writers, readers and such,
but of course, it's the old matter
of touchdowns, extra points, etc.,
.which count, and the boys don't
have any trouble in tabulating
them.
Strange, these ail-American bas
ketball teams... NCAA officials
picked one at Kansas City just
from Indiana and KU players...
see mi as though they should have
qualified It somewhat by calling it
the "all Indiana-Kansas" team...
forwards were Engleman of KU,
selected the captain; McCreary of
Indiana; center was Menke of In-
t!jia, guards were Huffman of In---na
and Allen of Kansas.. . .Jay
hawks Ebling, Harp and Voran
made the second team... Arm
strong and Zimmer of Indiana
were on it, too what happened
to our boys Miller of Kansas and
Dro of Indiana?
Oklahoma A. & M. recently gave
out the first freshman football
numerals they had awarded in
y'ars and y'ars Bespectacled
Harry Truseott, promising new
pitcher on the Husker baseball
team, spent two years at Annap
olis...his eyes, though, gave him
trouble, and he was honorably dis
charged from the academy where
he had a good scholastic record
. . .Truseott is a brother of Creiglv
ton's fullback, A. Truseott.

Pitchers Harry Truseott and
Ray Doyle held the "Blue Sky
rockets" to three hits as the "Red
Raiders" beat the regulars, 13 to
1. Coach Wilbur Knight took ad
vantage of the warm weather and
put the Husker baseballers
through a seven Inning game on
the varsity diamond yesterday.
Truseott, outstanding ple.be
pitcher at Annapolis a couple of
years ago, worked four innings
allowing the Skyrockets two
scratch hits. The Blue boys scored
in the last of the sixth when Wil
son walked and Tegtmeier hit a
double. The Raiders had a field
day and scored in all but the
seventh inning.
Hall outstanding.
Outstanding hitter of the day
was Dick Hall of the subs who
got two for three, including the
longest blow, a triple. None of
the first club got more than one
blow. However, the starting pitch
er for the Blue club, Wibbels,
didn't seem to be using all his
stuff.
Coach Knight announced after
practice that he was pleased with
the workout and if the weather
continues to be good, practice
games will be held every day. The
Husker coach believes that the
best results are obtained if regu
lar games are played.
The frosh team, with Coach
A. J. Lewandowski in charge, is
16 lettermen return as Hobbs Adams opens
spring football practice at Kansas State
MANHATTAN, Kas. An en
thusiastic squad of Kansas State
college footballers, including 16
lettermen, started a six-week
schedule of spring practice ses
sions last week before the scru
tinising eyes of John Harold
(Hobbs) Adams and his new
coaching staff.
Adams, who has been assistant
to Coach Howard Jones at the
University of Southern California,
arrived Sunday to take up his
new duties as head coach at K-
State. Aiding him are O. L. (Chili)
Cochrane, recently promoted to
the No. 1 assistant coach's job,
and Bill Schutte, formerly basket
ball and assistant football mentor
at San Diego, Calif., high school.
To go six weeks.
Six weeks of intensive work are
scheduled by Adams to Introduce
the basic formations the Wildcats
will employ against their Big Six
conference foes next autumn. But
the curly-haired football professor
pointed out that the fundamental
style of play used at K-State the
past five years ties into his plans
and that this will allow more time
to be spent on developing an of
fensive attack.
The task of developing younger
men to fill vacancies left by nine
senior lettermen confronts the
mentors. The seniors, all of whom
were regulars last fall, are Don
Crumbaker and Elvis McCutcheon,
ends; Ralph Huffman, tackle; Bill
BeezJey, guard; Paul Hannah, cen
ter; Melvin Seelye and Frank
Sicks, quarterbacks; Jim Brock,
halfback; and Elmer Hackney,
fullhack.
While Adams must develop
freshmen to plug the graduation
holes and carry a large part of
the relief burden, K-State's 1939
freshman crop was above average
and included several promising
lads for duty in both the line and
backfield.
Three lettermen Wallace Swan
son, Richard Peters and Don Mun
rer are available for the end jobs.
