Sophomores, as usual, will carry
the load Saturday as Ed Weir
sends an 18 man Husker squad
into action at the Kansas Relays
at Lawrence.
Harold Hunt, North Platte, the
Biff Six's best pole vaulter; Goth
enburg's Harold Brooks, Nebras
ka's best distance man in years,
and Bill Smutz, Pawnee City, Big
Six indoor low hurdles champion,
are in the entry list.
Hunt is entered in the pole
vault, Brooks in the four-mile re
lay and the sprint medley, and
Smutz is in the 120 high hurdles,
the broad jump and the sprint
medley.
Littler a favorite.
Red Littler, phenomenal sopho
more sprinter, is one of the fa
vorites in the hundred, along with
Welby Williams of North Texas
and Myron Piker of Northwestern.
George Abel, another new man, is
also entered in the hundred. The
Husker sprint medley team will be
picked from an all sophomore
group including Littler, Smutz,
Abel, Brooks, and Norman Davis,

Edsel Wibbeln has the best com

stiff competition from Jack
Hughes of Texas. Ray Prochaska,

form this early In the season.

is entered in the javelin. Knight,
who surprised by winning last
year's Big Six crown, will have a
star teammate in Herb Grote,

ers, having been kept out of com
petition by a bad knee last year.

Knight searches
for hitting as
baseballcrs drill
In effort to find some hitting
power on his Nebraska ball nine,
Coach Wilbur Knight sent his
baseball prospects through an en
longated hitting drill Monday aft
ernoon. An Intrasquad game was
held with varsity pitchers Harry
Truscott and Raymond Doyle op
posing each other.
The first team infield was re
vamped with Oscar Tegtmcicr
taking over first, Bob Searle was
playing third base, and Leonara
Van Buskirk was subbing for Ber
nie LeMastcr at shortstop.

Funny part of last Saturday's
scrimmage was watching the Yale
first team drive to a score against
the Harvard firsts, then letting
Harvard's second team score on
them. Of course, it was only a
twenty-yard drive which brought
the first tally scored against the
first string Reds all year, who in
cidentally were playing without
their regular ends Prochaska and
Preston. However, the H.U s de
served it, because the Reds were
given a chance on the Yale's 20,
but they couldn't put it across.
The Biffer, who was more or less
"chaperoning" each team on of
fense, called for Dale Bradley to
throw the pass which Vike Fran
cis intercepted, to start the Yales
on their way. To even things up.
he turned the ball over to the
Harvards after the touchdown.
Don Rubottom's touchdown
against the Yales was the first
scored by a reserve team against
a first team this spring, too. The
Harvard first team scored on the
Yale first team a couple of Satur
days ago, although last Saturday
was the first time the Yale's could
do it.
Harry Hopp turned in two nice
runs after he was apparently
trapped trying to pass... the first
time he got nearly 20 yards, and
the next time around 15... al
though the gains were due par
tially to careless tackling, Hopp
showed a fine change of pace and
some powerful running on the two
occasions. . .veteran guards Alf
son, Abel and Schwartzkopf look
better every day. . .behind them
George Stearns, Howard Zorn,
Lynn Myers and Francis Green
lief, none of whom have had any
experience, are all coming along
fast... the Huskers are certainly
not lacking in fullbacks. .. .Vikc
Francis has been blasting 'em
this spring Wayne Blue was
smacking the second Yale line for
four and five yards at a crack
Saturday. . .little Ken Simmons
has been a consistent ground
gainer all season... he showed he
had plenty of defensive ability in
the Kansas State game last fall.
...Hank Rohn has been out most
of the spring because of some bad
teeth, but he proved his worth last
fall.
For the first time in history,
every Big Ten school will be en
tered in the Drake Relays.... A
Southern Cal, sophomore, Leroy
Weed by name, is said on good au
thority to have run the mile in
4:12.8 in a recent warmup meet
against the S. C. Athletic Associa
tion.... Dean Cromwell, his coach,
tho, padded the time up to 4:18.7,
the way it appeared in the sum
maries of the meet. .. .Oklahoma
spring football drills will continue
"indefinitely and maybe longer,"
according to Tom Stldham....
Russell Bradford, who went to
Nebraska a few weeks, then was
at Wayne a while, has shown up
at Iowa State Teachers college.

Everybody else is doing it, so
why not the sports staff of the
DAILY? Picking the ultimate out
come of the major league races,
we mean. A huddle was formed
Monday afternoon and three,
scribes came up with the results
predicted in the following para
graphs. Tuesday afternoon, the big
league circus gets under way to
last until the first week in Osto-
ber. A lot of batting and pitching
will roll under the bridge before
me lortncoming campaigns will be
concluded and the selections pre
sented here are only the way the
teams size up at the present and
the way the three crystal gazers
believe should be the final results.
Sports Editor, June (Swami)
Bierbower, Alex (Grantland Rice)
Mills, and Jim (Yahudi) Evinger
spent many a thoughtful moment
before coming up with their se
lections, so they must not be taken
with a grain of salt.
All three scriblers were unani
mous in picking the Yankees to re
peat in the American league, while
in the senior loop, Cincinnati drew
top honors on two sheets and the
St. Louis Cardinals a first place
on the other chart. The poor Phil
adelphia Phillies and St. Louis
Browns seemed doomed to finish
in the cellars according to the
chrystal gazers. The selections:
