Francis A. Schmidt, the newly
resigned coach of Ohio State, was
a former Cornhusker footballer in
1904-06 and bascballer in the lat
ter year. The down-town pressure
in Columbus was too great for
Schmidt.
The ex-Husker athlete's record
at the Buckeye school was impres
sive, having won 39 games, lost 16,
tied one and won the Western
conference title in 1939 in the
years since he went to Ohio State
in 1935.
A loyal Ohio State alumni, in
Lincoln this last fall, said that
Schmidt was the best coach in the
land six days in the week, but on
Saturday he was one of the worst.
That observer's belief was that
Schmidt tried to run too many
things on Saturdays and the strife
between hir, coaching aids back
fired too often.
Since the upswing of Creigh
ton U basketball, there has been a
lot of comparison between the
Bluejays and the Nebraska five
on the cage floor. Quite a few
Omaha people in school here state
that they believe the Huskers
would lose to the Croightonians if
they ever met on the maples.
Comparative scores don't
tell whole story, but here's the
way Gate City fans look at
the situation right now. Last
Saturday night, Nebraska de
feated Marquette 35-20. Mon
day night, Creighton defeated
Marquette 57-12. There't a

Kentucky, pride of the South

strong foe of the Nebraska five,
tonight at 8 p. m. in the coliseum.
Long a power in the the south, the
Wildcats will probably be the
Huskers' strongest opponent this
season.

for argument in this respect.
Listed among the backs for the

he is rated by many as the fast

regular and according to scoring
and individual performances, Jof

Despite Jeffery, there are some

All-university
wrestle medals
given by Adam
The 194 all-university wrestle
conducted by wrestling coach
Jerry Adam and sponsored by the
intramural department is nearly
complete with only several bouts
to determine second place medals
left on the docket. The meet was
held last week with preliminaries
last Thursday and finals on Fri
day. In th 121 pound division Diok
Terry won the title with Bill Tier

a pair of 136 pounders, mixed with
the former coming out on top in
first place. Ed Copple, brother of
letterman Newt Copple, took the
mat and won the 145 pounds di
vision without too much effort.
For the runner-up spot Ken Huse
moller must wrestle Don Scott.
Veteran Floyd Ring won the 155
division in an easy manner while
Don Probst must battle Louis
Wells to clinch the second position.

Jackman wins heavy
The heavyweight division was
won by a heavyweight, in all
senses, Herb Jackman, 240 pounds
after a skirmish with John Peters,
another big one.
The winners in all weights will
receive gold medals with their
names inscribed on the back and
the runnersup win themselves sil
ver medals similarly inscribed.
Coach Adam got a good line on
freshmen and novice wrestlers
thruout this tourney and it will aid
in determination of squad per
sonnel in some cases.
Cagcrs to use
backboard like
kidney-bean'
Cornhusker basketball fans are
probably puzzled with the ap
pearance of a new type of back
board at the first home game
last Saturday with Marquette. The
backboard is know in basketball
circles as the "kidney-bean" type
due to the similarity of its shape
with that of a kidney bean.
Made of sheet steel the new
backboard is more lively than the
former ones of wood which were
used until this year. The "kidney
-bean" is approved by the National
Basketball Rules Committee and
is the only type that will be used
in Big Six play this year.
More angle shots
It has replaced the old type
after an extensive study of the
positions that the basketball hit
during games and since the lower
corners on the old tpye were
hardly even used the new system
has been adopted. Also by cutting
of the bottom corners players
have greater positions from which
to shoot and it will be a help to
spectators who sit in the end zone.
There are no sharp comers to tear
the ball as happened before.
In the two games the the Corn
huskers have played this year,
both types have been used with
out an appreciable difference in
shot percentages although it
seemed to hamper Marquette in its
assault on the basket in the opin
ion of Coach "Chili" Armstrong.
