Bradley, J . Thompson score
touchdowns, Schleich kicks
extra point as Harvards win
By Jim Evfoger.
It may be th spring aeaaoa,
but the weather elements gave
football a fall background, Sat
urday afternoon, aa the Corchua
ker Harvards and Tales battled
on the stadium sod in typical
mid-November weather, cloudy,
dreary, windy, and the tempera
ture hovering around the middle
The outcome of the game how
ever, found the Harvards nipping
the Yales 7-6 and being the com
plete masters of the situation
thruout the first three quarters.
Freshman Dale Bradley pushed
across the first score, skirting end
for 5 yards and Vic Schleich place
kicked the extra point that spelled
victory for the Reds in the second
period.
Another freshman, John Thomp
son, added the second touchdown,
also sweeping end to score from
the 20, but George "Bus" Knight's
placement was blocked in the last
quarter.
Reds Get to 10.
The Harvard first had it all over
the Yales in the first period with
Dale Bradley and Walter "Butch"
Luther sparking a drive that took
the ball to the Yale 10, but a last
down pass from Bradley to Marvin
Athey was long on the goal line
as the quarter ended.
The Harvard seconds were not
to be denied. In the second canto,
they came back with another rush
aided by Bradley passes to Fred
Metheny and to Marvin Thomp
son for a first down on the 10
yard line. On the third play, Brad
ley lugged the ball over from the
6.
The first teams came back in
the third quarter and the Reds got
back to work again. Don Rubot
tom, Wayne Blue, and Butch
Luther supplied the fireworks,
working the ball to the Yale 12
before losing the ball on downs.
Yale's seconds came back to
spark the play in the last period
led by Johnny Thompson and Ken
Simmons. The Yale score came
late with Thompson running 20
yards to score. Harvard a few
plays previous had stopped a Yale
drive on the 4.
The Harvards gained their vic
tory thru a more spirited drive,
which wss especially noticeable
between the play of the first
teams. Only injury of the day
was suffered by Theos Thompson
who wrenched his knee. Lineups:

Around sixty aspiring baseball
players were out yesterday as the
diamond team played two games
at the same 'time . . . which is a
very nice turnout for temperatures
like Saturday . . . from the sub
lime to the not-so-something or
other: Johnny McDermott, veteran
Husker, played his first intra-
squad baseball game the other
day ... on his first time at bat
on the first ball pitched Mac bat
ted out a home run ... he came
up to bat twice again in the same
inning, and struck out.
High schoolers: Howard Debus,
great Lincoln athletic star, is well
on the way to another great track
season ... in the interclass meet
at LHS, Debus did 51-4 in the
shot, 159-9 & in the discus, and
pitched the javelin 184 feet . .
He didn't even enter the pole vault
in which he got over 12 feet last
year . . . some time ago he broad
jumped for the first time . . . got
21 feet ort the first try . . . for
those who noticed in Cy Sherman's
column Tuesday about the off
campus UCLA agent who is try
ing to line up Waldo Winter of
Jackson; about the Oregon State
enthusiast who is after both Win
ter and his teammate Red Nei
hardt; and'about the Iowa booster
who is trying to lure Neihardt to
Hawkeyetown: A similar article
appeared in Paul Zimmerman's
Los Angeles Times column on the
same day . . . Zimmie, a former
Husker trackman, evidently got
his information from the same
place as Cy, and said he could
furnish proof of what he said to
Pacific Coast Commissioner Ath-
erton or anyone else.
K-State added
for track meet
here, April 23
Kansas State has been added to
the Cornhuaker track slate, the
Wildcats having been scheduled
for a Wednesday, April 23, appear
ance on Memorial Stadium cinders.
The Staters opened their out
door season as they lost 77 2-3 to
55 1-3 at Norman, against Okla
homa's Sooners.
Three tennis and golf dates
have been shifted, as the Huskers
will travel to Kansas State, April
ltf ana to Kansas U., April 20, in
stead of the first week in Mav.
The Kansas-Nebraska matches
slated for April 20 here have been
moved to May 4.
Defending champions return
in field events at KU relays
LAWRKNCK. Kas., April 3.
For the flrtit time in the history
of the Kansas relays, defending
chairji(ns will compete in every
one of the field events at the big
track and field carnival April 20.
All six of last year's winners in
the field events are back to de
fend their titles. Two of the men
will be shooting for their third
straight championships.
"Glamour boy" of the Kansas
Reluys the past two years has
been Beefus Bryan, colorful Uni
versity of Texas pole vaulter. The
Longhorn ace won the pole vault
both years, setting new records on
each occasion. In 1939 he vaulted
14 feet 2 inches here and 14 feet 1
at the Border Olympics.
Other two-time winner Is big
Elmer Hackney from Kansas
State. Hackney pushed the iron
ball 50 feet to win here as a soph
omore and last year set a new
meet record in winning.
Hackney Improving.
Later in the season the Wildcat
star made the second best heave
in "ports annals, by putting the
shot 5! fcrt 11 inches. A wrist In
Jury handicapped Hackney early
this season, but he has been look
inr much improved recentlv.
Big as Hackney is, he has to
concede the size championship to
jck tiugnes or Texas, last year's
winner in the discus throw. The
burly Longhorn weight man scales
in at 200 noiinrls Hrnrhm pnn.
slstently has been bettering the
ueiays aiscus rccora or 154 feet
this season.
Dick Schnacke of Iowa State
will have to down a crack field to
win the high jump again this year.
Schnacke made the best leap of
his career, 6 feet 5ft inches, to
win here last Bpring. The Iowa
State star is one of four seniors
among the defending champions.
Schumitzky returns.
Two Missouri aces round out
the crew of last year's winners
who will be back in action April
20. Sol Schumitzky, limber Tigsf
broad jumper, leaped 24 feet 4
inches to capture his event as a
sophomore last spring.
Missouri's other winner was Bob
Waldram, southpaw Javelin throw
er. Waldram, a high school sensa
tion, was second here in 1938 and
moved up to first last year. Both
years he hurled the Javelin more
than 200 feet
