Thursday, April II, 1940 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Yalcs edge Harverds 14-13 as Bob Kahler tallies twice; Butch Luther, Alf son score mm, ft mii mm 1 rnjijUiifti-JUiimi juu SHE w 1S If ! By June Bierbower. The Huskers' end situation, which may be called "acute," if one is speaidng in relative terms, ian't any more so that way than is Missouri's or Oklahoma's, in all probability. Missouri was plucked cleaner than a singed hen when Blaine Currence, Stillman Rouse and the two Orfs were iost. Right there went the four best ends the Tigers had, with only reserves Norvalle Wallach and Frank Amelung left. Wallach is 6-3 tall and weight 204, and will probably be Jimmy Starmer's main aid in catching Paul Christ man's passes next fall. Bob Steuber, a 190 pound fresh man, who has played some time in the backfield, and who i a sprinter in addition, may get one of the starting positions. Any way you look at it, though, the Tigers have only two experienced men and men who didn't play much at that. It will be interesting to see what Paul the Chrissie can do without his ends. Oklahoma lost Frank Ivy, John Shirk and Alton Coppage, three of the best ends in the conference, but they're not quite in at bad a fix as Missouri. Two giant ends, Louis "Tree Top Sharpe" and Lyle Smith, who played a little as sophomores last year, and got in some competition may be the regu lars. Tom Stidham, though, is try ing Bill Jennings, a very capable back, and Cliff Speegle, an out standing center, at end. That indi cates either that Stidham thinks the end situation is pretty acute, or that the Sooners have backs and centers to spare. What with Matthews, Jacobs, Martin and : few more returning in the back field, and with Marsee and Wood back as centers, the Sooner coach can at least afford to experiment during spring drills. Ray Prochaaka and Fred Pres ton, two major lettermen return ing for the Huskers, have been playing regularly for the Harvard squad, and look like the starters next fall. The Husker ends, with the exception of Bob Ludwick, lack speed, and the coaching staff has been shifting the ends around fast and furiously to find someone to pair up with the ex-Lincoln high player, who turned in a good de fensive game Saturday.

Harvard's last quarter drive failed to overtake the Yales yes terday, and the Eli's edged out a 14 to 13 victory as Warren Alf son's placement after his touch down sailed wide of the bars. Bob Kahler scored twice for the Yales, then Butch Luther ran 40 yards for a Harvard touchdown, and Alfson blocked nnd recovered John Thomp son's punt for a score. That left the socle 14 to 13, Harry Uopp having convert ed both Yale BOB KAHLER journal A Stnr. touchdowns ,as did Alfson for the Harvards, but the Red guard couldn't tie the score, as just be fore Biff Jones sent the two teams to the showers. One drive halted. The Yale firsts started against the Harvard seconds, and with Harry Hopp and Vike Francis playing the leading roles, got to the Reds, but were stopped for downs there. Dale Bradley, tho, punted into the stiff wind for the Eli's, and the ball went out of bounds on the 15. Harry Hopp from that point pitched one to Bob Kahler who got the first Yale touchdown, then kicked the extra point. Later in the same period after Bradley had kicked out of bounds on his own 42 the Eli's started their second scoring drive. A pass from Hopp to Bus Knight, and two consecutive first downs by plunging Vike Francis, who was ripping things up, put the ball on the Reds' 8. From that point Mr. Kahler went into action again, and scored on a reverse. Hop padded the sec ond extra point. The Biffer sent in hia first Har vard team against the Yale sec onds, and early in the period Butch Luther got away for a 25 yard run to the Eli 36 for the Har vards. Don Rubottom passed to him for a first down on the Z6, another pass took it to the 18 and Wayne Blue made it a first and ten on the 14. Blue couldn't get his hands on a bad pass from center, and Willard Bunker recov ered it on the 20 for the Reds to stop the first threat. John Thompson punted out on his own 42 three plays later Luther got two yards on a reverse then took the ball from Blue on a reverse through tackle and sped 40 yards for the first Harvard touchdown. Alfson made the extra point. Hold for downs. The second Harvard score came after the Yales had held the Reds for downs on the four yard line Don Rubottom had punted over the goal, and he returned John Thompson's punt back to the Yale's 45. Two Rubottom passes were knocked down, then Wayne Sindt, subbing for Walt Luther, whipped around end on a reverse to the 18. Rubottom went to the 14, but a fumble put the ball back on the 27. Rubottom then shot one toward Ray Prochaaka in the end "M" CLUB amboree! with Sepia King of Swing FRIDAY, APRIL 19 3 mH Softbollers start despite bad weather Seven games played yesterday; 21 Barb clubs enter tourney Seven intramural Softball games ere run off yesterday, despite the cold weather, in the first day's competition in the year's last sport.
