Of the 19 lettermen returning to
the Nebraska football lineup this
year, 13 are seniors. . . . And 8 of
those seniors are holding down
positions on the so-called "first
Husker team." . . .
Looking over the 1940 Corn,
busker roster, we find that only
one player hails from outslate.
. . . Bob McNutt signs Colby,
Kan., on his registration blanks.
. . . And that town is in northern
Kansas. . . ,
Schleich is heaviest.
Seven Huskers weigh over the
200 mark-Behm, Blue, Francis,
Royal Kahler, Leik, McNutt, and
Pchleich - with Schleich carrying
the heaviest tonnage. . . . Vic sends
the scales whirling to 221, while
McNutt and "King Kong" register
a pound less. . . .
The tallest squad member is
Forrest Behm who towers up to
6 feet 4. . . . Warren Alfson is the
"Pappy" of the team with 25 years
as his age. . . . Clarence Herndon
has seen 24 summers. . . .
Five Huskers weigh less than
170 pounds. . . . Bonahoom.
Metheny, Myers, Simmons, and
Vincent are the light weights. . . .
Bob Bonahoom is the lightest with
only 162 pounds of flesh and bone
and fight. . . .
Sports at large.
You may talk about your Joe
tiaMggio8 and Terry Moores and
Mel Otts as the best flycatchers in
the game. . . . But Cincinnati has
two who can field with the best
. . . Jimmy Ripple has played in
only 31 games, but his fielding
record is spotless. . . . And Harry
Craft, another Red outfielder,
his first error of the season on
Wednesday. . . . He'd been a reg
ular up to the time when Ripple
Joined the 1940 National league
champions. . . .
Nebraska's last football captain
for a complete season, George
Farley, takes over the coaching
reins at Nebraska Wesleyan when
Coach Dwight Thomas is called
from the Plainsmen for National
Guard active duty. , , . Farley full
backed the Huskers in 1927-29
and was a former coach at Wes
leyan from 1934 to 1937. . . .
What a caddy!
Lawson Little used Hal Pierce,
president of the United States golf
association for his caddy during
an exhibition round of golf in
Boston, Tuesday. . . . Tou see, all
the regular caddies bad gone to
the American Legion parade. . . .
Anytime a sports writer or any
other writer believes be baa too
much to write, he might receJl the
career of Damon Runyon, noted
feature writer. , . . Runyon esti
mates be has written over 73,
000,000 words -in over 40 year
. . . We young'ns have a long way
to go- and a lot to learn. . . , My.
my, waxing professorial ai; 1
fatherly-like. . . . That's enough
of this for now. , . .
Missionary slops
finger amputation
hy elbow thrust
Losing a valuable ring may lie
and enough experience for moat
people, but when a finger is lost
with it the loss is magnified
greatly.
Thus says Rev. Ixronard J.
Christian, head of the Foothow
minion in China, who imrely es
cad having one of his digits
rhopped off by a bandit who was
attempting to rob him of a ring.
Rev. Christian prevented the
operation by striking his adversary
with his elbow, knocking him
backwards, and wrenching off the
ring and handing it to the bandit
when the latter had recovered.
This experience occurred while
Rev. Christian and his wife were
being held captive by a band of
desperadoes.
Rev. Christian related his ex
periences before a joint meeting
of the Scrooby and College clubs
at the Vine Congregational
church last Sunday.

season and prospects are much

this time last year. Michigan

The Hawkeyes' schedule was no

Kinnick graduates.
Major loss of 1939 was that
capable field general. All-American
halfback. Nile Kinnick. Kin
nick was a triple threater, but his
passing will be missed more than
anything else this year. Tackle
Wally Bergstrom. who played al
most every minute of every 1939
game, is another player Iowa will
miss.
However, 16 lettermen have re
ported to Dr. Eddie Anderson.
Hawkeye mentor. Dr. Anderson
received the coach of the year
award in 1939. And as he puts it.
Iowa will be "stronger at all po
sitions except the ends and left
halfback." Erwin Prasse and Dick
Evans are the ends who will not
be back this year.

By Bill Flory.
Several Nebraska opponents
jumped the gun on her yesterday
as they tuned up for the season
play.
Looming large in the minds of
the Huskers and their fans was
the outcome of the Minnesota
game with Washington. The
Golden Gophers came out on the
big end f a 19-14 decision. Cap
italizing on breaks and using their
speed to good advantage the Min
neaotana thrilled a crowd of some
44.000.
Speedster George Franck picked
up a loose ball on the first play
of the game and ran 9S yards to
give the Bierman -coached team a
lead they never relinquished.
Ftanck served notice on the Corn
buskers that he was not to be
trifled with as he ran, kicked and
defended so nobly that he will not
then meet in the championship
playoff. The intramural office will
present medals to the players of
the first and second place teams
at the end of the season, while
the members of the winning team
will be the guests of the Barb
Union at a dinner with the Towne
Club, the university barb girls or
ganization. Football 7 man teams.
Seven pjayers from each team
are allowed on the field at one
time, four linemen and three
tackfield men, with regular touch
football rules being enforced.
These rules will be roosted at a
later date
A successful intra barb club
touch footbal program last year
found 24 teams entered with over
300 beys participating. This year's
program will consist of competi
tion in volleyball, basketball, soft
ball and, if enough interest war
rants their inclusion, baseball,
ping-pong, tennis and other sports
will be added to the program.

note
Four returning guards who let
tered are Herman Snider, Henry
Luebcke, Charles Tollafson and
Max Hawkins.
Mike Enich and Jim Walker
should be two high caliber tackles.
I and they will have plenty of rein
forcements in Bob Otto and sophs
Al Urban, George Fable, Joe Byrd
and Paul Hewing. Lettermen Ken
Pettit and Jack Maher are ends,
and others will be Sophomores Bill
Parker, Wilford Burkett and Steve
Mizen.
Murphy stands out.
Ray Murphy will be one of the
outstanding fullbacks of the year
and Al Couppee is one of the most
capable quarterbacks seen in Iowa
in many a year. Bill Green and
Henry Vollenweider, two other
fullbacks who lettered in 1939,
will be back. '
Iowa opens Oct. 5 with South
Dakota, and then will play Wis
consin. Indiana, Minnesota, Pur
due, Nebraska. Notre Dame and
Illinois. The Hawkeyes play in
Lincoln. Nov. 9.
Dr. Anderson can boast a team
averaging better than 190 pounds
ner man and a stronp list of re
serves. With plenty of lettermen
sophs, the Hawkeyes should really
go places this year.
Next: Pittsburgh,
soon be forgotten by the fans of
Minnesota.
Missouri win, 40-26.
Pitchin' Paul Christman and his
mates from Missouri also gave
notice that they were not to be
counted out of this year's Big Six
race. They trimmed the St, Louis
representatives, 40 to 26. Long
runs featured the Missouri attack.
Pittsburgh gave aaaurance that
they were not the team of old as
they watched Ohio State backs
put on a track meet to pile up a
score of 30 to 7 against them.
Power, their old mainstay. Was
the reason for their one and only
counter.
The Panthers held the heavier
Ohio State team for two periods
but gave way to the onslaught in
the second half to the superior
forces of the Staters.
Kansas State won rts initial
start by running over Emporia
Teachers 21 to 16. Iowa State lost
their second game of the season
to a cagey Denver U team 14 to 7.
