Now injuries are creeping into the Husker fold... Not exactly se rious misfortunes as yet, but if they increase the bright outlook will become much more dim... A few wrenching of valuable knees and turned ankles will cause less playing, naturally. . . . The quarterback situation, right now, has been hardest hit... Two letter-men are on the so-called hos pital sile of the ledger... Roy "Cowboy" Petsch will be out for a week with a wrenched knee and Theos Thompson is being: bothered by a bad ankle... At tackle, Royal "King Kong" Kahler is taking all practices light... Baseball (major league, that is) U an odd sport... When you are winning, you are sitting on top of the world... When you are losing, your job isn't worth paying your next month's rent in advance On Wednesday, the New York Giants had just lost their tenth consecutive game. . .Rumors will Boon start to fly about how un settled Manager Bill Terry's posi tion actually is. . .In fact, this may be the year for him to receive the axe... But he isn't the only major league pilot with shaky underpin nings, as Fred Haney of the Browns, Do' Prothro of tbe Phil lies, and Oscar Vitt, chief of the Indian tribe of "bawl babies" has not been assured of a job for 1941. .. Sport hash: A father-son catch ing combination n at work in the National league. . .Jimmy Wilson, coach of the Cincinnati Reds, has hts son serving as batting practice catcher. . .Colorado college has the heaviest tonnage among Rocky Vountain coaches. .. Bully Van de Graaff and hie new lieu tenar.f. Clark de Groote, are at tempting to train down to about 240 each for the coming cam paign,.. Humor note (?????): When Coaches Paddy Driscoll of Mar quette and Pete Cawthon of Texas Tech sat at a ehinfest in Chicago the other day, Paddy got the drop on the colorful southwestern men tor who will bring his Red Raiders to Milwaukee on October 26... "Pete, you'd better start worry Inq," chirped the Marquette coach. "That hotel where your team will Stay in Milwaukee only has regulation-sized doors so rt looks like the boys may have to sleep in the street"... Indiana looms as Husker's mighty foe Bo McMillin's eleven on march with seasoned start in strong lineup By Mick Bierbower.

Y i,0 MCMILLm Bo McMillin's Indiana squad should go places this year with tyo experienced forward walls and Hurlin' Hal Hursh, veteran triple threater. The Hoosier's meet the Huskers here this year, Oct. 12. Indiana takes n Dana Bible's Texas Long horns the pre vious Saturday and should have their hands full stop ping Jack Crain, speedy junior back. The Hoosiers' s c h e d u le, al ways a tough one, is no ex ception t h i 3 year. Bo's boys play at home only three times and the recipients of Hoosier hospital ity will be Texas, Iowa and Mich igan State. The Huskers are their first foes away from home and the other four are Northwestern, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Purdue. Potent Big Ten eleven. Indiana opened the 1939 season with a tie with Nebraska and went on to win two and lose four. But the Hoosiers can be counted on to turn the tables this year and should be a strong contender for the Big Ten title. With Hursh heaving passes be hind veteran linemen, the Indiana air attack should be exceptionally effective. Hursh was the leading passer of the Big Ten last year and should be able to hit the arms of the ends for more than one touchdown this season. Dale Swlhart, Earl Doloway and Mickey McGuire can furnish first aid in forward passing Swlhart, a quarterback, may be the first sophomore to crash the first string, due to Tuffy Brooks' leg in jury. Another on the injured list is Frank Smith, 200 pound tackle who pu'led a tendon Tuesday, A star in Hal Hursh. The so-called experts are rating Indiana among the leaders this year, and are doing anything but overestimating their power. Mc Millin can be counted on to have a crushing attack with his 17 k?t termen, two capable lines and de pendable Hal Hursh. Sunday: Kansas.
