Yesterday was "Chooseday.". . .
The election is now over and so
are campaign fights and radio
speeches hooting for various po
litical candidates. . . .
Nebraska's Cornhuskers are still
In the thick of their campaign and
have just begun to fight... The
Huskers started off on the wrong
foot (Minnesota 13, Nebraska 7)
but since then, the Scarlet stock
has suddenly surged upward due
to its recent victories. . . .
Voting power was strengthened
in the Big Ten region again when
the Huskers came back to hurdle
over Indiarfe Kansas was
swamped under foot by a scoring
landslide. . . . Missouri was passed
by and Oklahoma was overruled in
the last three Big Six games. . . .
Four more foes are needed to
be subdued before the Huskers
can sit in any authoritative chair.
...Worthy opponents such as
Iowa, Pittsburgh, Iowa State and
Kansas State have yet to be over
come. . . .
Campaign manager. Biff Jones,
won't settle for any ties.... He
wants all wins just as any man
ager would so demand News
from the enemy camps relate that
all foes are pointing for the Husk
ers.. . .
Nebraska may not completely
. landslide its remaining four foes,
but it should at least triumph over
mem u any or me football polls
are right.. . .
However, as in any campaign,
one little slip may spoil the whole
6ystem."'Let's hope that nothing
slips up in the Husker campaign.
... So far so good. ...
HITS AND BITS.
George Franck, Minnesota's star
back, is no stranger to Kansas.

Who's to start
left half post?
Attempted hy 5
Just before this season of foot
ball began, the Iowa Hawkeyes
were firmly expected to accom
plish achievements comparable to
those manufactured by the 1939
Iron Hawks.
However, something went wrong
along the line. The Hawks started
off with two wins swamping
South Dakota and Wisconsin
and then suffered three straight
reverses.
That is how the score stands
now with the Iowans. The loss of
Nile Kinnick was supposed to he
the only great loss, as the rest
of the team was predicted to out
shine last year's squad.
Left halfback ,
The absence of Kinnick has been
sorely felt. Saturday after Satur
day, Coach Eddie Anderson has
tried various men at that vacant
left halfback post
Players like Bill Stauss, Jim
Touel, Bob Bender and Tom Far
mer have all attempted that im
portant post. Most recent discov
ery for ownership of that spot is
Youel.
In practice this week Anderson
has been using Quarterback Al
Couppee at that station at times,
with Stauss moving over to the
signal calling position. The left
halfback and quarterback posts at
present are still in doubt.
Jones fears Ha-vks
One of these days the Iron
Hawks are going to get in the
groove and start clicking aga'Ji
That is why Coach Biff Jones is
so warning his Nebraska Corn
huskers. This Saturday could be
the day for the Hawks to bounce
back onto the victory road again.
The personnel of the first team
remains intact with the exception
of Hermie Rohrig working in th
first team backfield in place of
Harry Hopp. Willard Bunker is tt
right end on the second team, re
placing Marv in Thompson, who is
injured.

BILL STAUS3
And now, Dr. Ed Anderson re
vises his versatile Iowa backfield
even more. Bill Stauss, above, has
been shifted from his left halfback
station to quarterback to surplant
Al Couppee who has taken over
Stauss's job at the left halfback
post. Stauss worked last week at
right half, but Anderson sees a
better chance for him working in
at the signal calling post.
Gerry Kathol for the only other
second team change.
Don Rubottom has been changed
from a left halfback to a fullback
and is now on the third team t
that post. Henry Rohn is on the
fourth eleven. Dale Bradley and
Jack Vincent, sophomores, are
alternating the left half spot on
the thirds.

Dr. Anderson
seeks punch
for Nebraska
Iowa mentor attempts
stir Iowa spirit prior
to meeting Nebraska
One word rings out from the
University of Iowa practice field
this week. That word is punch and
more punch. Punch is what the
Iowa Hawks have been lacking
and is what Dr. Eddie Anderson
will be trying to insert in his vic
tory hungry team.
First move in this direction has
been a slight juggling of the line
up and some extra hard scrim
mage early in the week. Al Coup
pee has been moved to the left half
position and ills quarter backing
has been taken over by Bill Stauss
a triple threat sophomore who has
been coming along in good shape.
Stauss will be given a fight to
hold on to the job by both Jim
YouelL a passer ajid kicker, and
Bob Bender another soph with
triple threat qualifications.
Iron Mike Enich.
Still leading the line into ac
tion is big Mike Enich. Mike still
possesses those sixty minute qual
ities and is the bulwark of a
mighty tough line. The ends,
which have caught the eye of
many a critic, are very ably
manned by Ken Pettit, a reserve
of last year, and Jack Maher who
divided time between end and
guard last fall. Both these boys
are hot for catching those aerials
of Jim You ell, the passer deluxe
of the Iowa team.
Nebraska, in the meantime, is
busily preparing for another new
and different style of defense play.
Iowa employs the Notre Dame
system of play since the addition
of Coach Anderson. On top of
this, Nebraska will face another
passing outfit, and one that if the
