THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
m it s
By June Bier bower.
Snatching from the gridiron:
An unidentified Husker Wednes
day afternoon varied the usual
pcpping-up line which footballers
use to spur their mates on to
greater things. Instead of saying
the usual, "Get in there and fight,
you.. .. (censored)", a member of
one of the defensive teams came
thru with, "All right, converge,
you stooges!"
At Iowa U., Bob Wilson, a col
ored boy, whom they've nicknamed
"Yeah Man," came up from a de
fensive right half position in a re
cent workout, to smear the ball
carrier at the line of scrimmage.
Coach Eddie Anderson said:
"That was a good tackle. But how
in the world did you manage to
get up there so quick?"
"Ah's a fast man, Coach,"
Walker replied.
Then there's the time Elmer
Hubka, former Husker football
man, got to wear the famed brown
derby in law college for a week,
after this incident:
"Suppose," said the professor,
"a man courts a girl and becomes
engaged to her. At the same time
he seeks the hand of another girl
and they beocme betrothed. Now
if this man goes ahead with his
plans to marry the first girl and
on the day of the wedding turns
up at the church to find the sec
ond girl and her attorney there
also, what kind of defense could
he plead if brought to trial for the
apparent misunderstanding?"
Hubka's answer, which got him
the derby, was "Well,I think it
would be a good case of double
Jeopardy."
Around the conference: Norris
Holstrom, Kansas State basketball
guard, is suffering from high blood
pressure.. . .he is unable to report
for spring drills and will not be
permitted to play next year unless
his condition improves .... tackle
Harold Lahar is one of Oklahoma's
golf team members, and a good
one, too.. Jack Horacek, K-State's
sophomore basketball star, is a
member of the Wildcats' tennis
team. . .Iowa State's starting base
ball lineup will include four
sophomores against the Iowa State
Teachers this weekend. . . . Bob Al
len of KU is debating whether to
play varsity or intramural base
ball. Maurice Tillet, or The Angel, re

motive 25 feet along the tracks.
All right, you strong men, who's
