'I wanna play Wellington'
Christman plots defeat
of Husker 'Napoleons'
Pitchin' Paul Christman wants
to play Wellington.
Yes, Missouri's ace passer wants
to go down in football history as
a Wellington at Waterloo and
against Napoleon.
But there's a catch to all this
great ambition of Christman's. He
intends that Lincoln will be the
Waterloo and Nebraska will be
the Napoleon.
You see, Christman has billed
the Cornhuskers as the Big Six
football Napoleon this year. And
when Missouri's Tierers come to
Lincoln Saturday for the home
coming- game, he plans to play the
part of Wellington in the fall of
Napoleon.
Christman speaks.
In the September issue of the
Missouri Showme, Tiger monthly
publication, Christman so expresses
his desire to be football's Welling
ton in this conference.
Christman goes on to say that
the Huskers have "more veterans
than an American Legion con
vention." All-American Paul com
plains a bit about losing so many
star ends of the 1939 Tiger
eleven.
It happened to be that it was
these sterling flankmen that made
it possible for Christman to com
plete so many passes last year.
However, Christman warns, "But
you can Bet your next montn s
check from home we'll be in there
firing. And we won't wait to see
the whites of their eyes."
Who's Napoleon?
The loquacious Tiger quarter
back concluded with, "Sure, Ne
braska will be the boys to beat,
But the Huskers have small backs,
That means they should be a mite
easy to complete passes against
Now if I wind to throw, and if .
Gosh, how I'd like to play Well
ington against those Nebraska
Napoleons!"
Yes sir, Christman Is bound to
play Wellington, but maybe . Ne
braska's "Napoleons" will have
something to say about that there
"Waterloo" next Saturday.
Well, Husker Nappy's are out
to claim that this is not the year
for Wellington or Christman and
that the Cornhuskers wonx be de
feated by the Tigers either at
Waterloo or Lincoln. Are you
reading "Wellington" Christman?

Schmidt speaks
before school hoard
meeting on tax
The property tax, in spite of
its shortcomings, has important
merits," Professor E. B. Schmidt
of the University economics de
partment told a district meeting
of the Nebraska School Board as
sociation in Schuyler.
He pointed out these advan
tages: it is dependable, it produces
good revenue and it protects our
right to participate in local gov
ernment. "Taxes might be im
proved," he added, "by eliminat
ing certain types of property from
its scope, by instituting scientific
assessment practices and by re
vamping our administrative ma
chinery." Discussing tax delinquency, Pro
fessor Schmidt stated, "Much of
it is wholly unnecessary and could
quite easily be avoided by com
mencing the assessment earlier in
the year and by reducing the al
lotted time for completing the
various steps in the administra
tive process."
by Marvin Vandaveer. The Vis
count travelled some 50 yards
down the field only to have the
play penalized for a clipping er
ror on the run.
All in all, there was no doubt
as to the complete superiority of
the Huskers. The Nebraska front
line held the Kansas backs at bay
on the defense and out rushed
them on the offense. Four of the
Jayhawk passes fell into Nebraska
hands.
The scoring ability manufac
tured by the Nebraska substitutes
brought smiles to the faces of the
Husker coaching staff. Five of
the Husker scores were by the
replacements.
The Scarlet front line with Ray
Prochaska, Warren Alfson, Forest
Behm, Eddie Schwartzkopf and
second teamer Marvin Thompson
in particular all came up with
sterling performances.
Harry Hopp, the proud papa.
came through with fine running
and punting in his number one
back spot. Hermie Rohrig, roly
poly half back, .was not in suit
due to a shoulder injury sustained
in a midweek drill.
The driving: of Vike Francis and
Wayne Blue, the latter a sopho
more, stood out. Reserves Henry
Rohn and Kenney Simmons also
shared fullback burdens in fine
style.
Roy Petsch and Theos Thomp
son shared the quarterback bur
den. Bus Knight saw some action
but was kept out for the most part
by a weak ankle. Tailbacks Hopp,
Dale Bradley, Don Rubottom and
Jack Vincent all performed ablely
for the Husker cause.
For the Jayhawks, Ed Hall, Ed
Suage, Jake Fry and Marvin Van
daveer comprised one fine back
field. The latter's passing kept
the Huskers on their toes.
The work of Game Captain
Quido Massare, Jay Kern and Don
Pierce in the Kansas line stood
out
