The Huskera were eyeing the
games next fall as they went
through the paces of their semi
wlndup" of spring drills yesterday
afternoon. With everyone seeing
action the Yale team trounced the
Harvards by a score of 27-21.
Big Boy Blue was tooting his
horn again as he counted three
times for the Yales as well as
piling up nice yardage all after
noon. Blue was being pressed for
honors by a frosh member of the
Harvard backfield. Valentine Is his
home and his name is Hansen but
to the Yale team he was just plain
poison the whole game. He re
minded bystanders of little Hermie
Rohrig of last fall. His running
la on the tricky side with that ex
tra essential of speed thrown in.
Final tally.
The first score of the game
came when Sindt skirted around
his own left end for 30 yards and
the points. Francis kicked the
first of three extra points for the
conversion.
After this the Harvards opened
up a passing attack that had ev
eryone guessing. Bradley throw
ing to Jack Hazen accounted for
40 yards in two plays and then
Bradley picked up 15 on a jaunt
through tackle. The old combine
of Bradley and Hazen worked
again for 20 yards to be followed
by Bradley going over from the
14. Francis again kicked the
points.
The Yales took the ball over
and in about eight plays the ball
was over the goal in the posses
sion of Wayne Blue. Schleich was
good on the conversion.
Fail to convert.
The second score for the Yales
was short coming as they too,
demonstrated that they could pass.
A pass, Simmons to Athey, was
good for 40 yards from where
ramming Blue went over for the
points. The Blues fell behind as
Schleich failed to convert.
With the ball resting on the
midfield stripe, Vike Francis

pulled a sneaker and was away to
the ten yard stripe where he was
met by Big Howie Debus. Francis
lost ten yards trying the same
play but Hansen came back to
the three. Bradley took over and
made the score from the three
yard line. Francis kicked the point
Debus throws.
The Yales took over again and
with Debus on the throwing end
connected with several passes to
put the ball on the 22 yard mark.
Blue rammed to the five but lost
ten on the next play. On the fol
low up Blue fumbled but the ball
was picked up by Kathol who
brought it back to the one yard
line. Blue plunged through the
middle for the touchdown.
The last Yale score carr.c as a
result of passing, with Debus
throwing to Anderson for 20 yards
and the score.

A lot of souls got a bit of a
blast when they read of "Biff"
Jones army calf in the April Fool's
edition of this sheet. The whole
thing was a noble experiment
which gives much weight to our
contention that the "Biffer" Is a
major cog In the success of this
Institution's football teams.
Jones has a rather remarkable
career behind him and we feel
that it Is about time to give Husk
er fans a hunk of the history about
this big, quiet chap who never has
a lot to say, but always a lot to do.
The Husker mentor started his
football early. He played high
schoof football at Washington, D.
C, for Central High school in 1911
and 1912 and was a regular on
the Army team at West Point in
1915 and 1916. He was elected
captain of the Army outfit in 1917
but because of the war was grad
uated In August. , Jones played
and coached soldier football in San
Antonio during the 1917 season.
During the war he went overseas
and served as first lieutenant of
the 85th Aero Squadron A. E. F.
After the armistice he coached the
line and played tackle with the
Fifth division football team at
Luxemburg.
From 1919 to 1925 he was as
sistant football coach at the Army.
1926 saw the Major taking over
the head reins of the West Point
team.
For four years he held that post
and boasted a record of 928 points
to his opponents 319. He was
noted for his brilliant offensive
teams, being held scoreless but
three times during the entire four
year period. He is particularly
proud of the fact that Navy was
never able to defeat him and he
developed two great Ail-American
backs, "Llghthorse Harry" Wilson,
and Chris Cagle.
Thus his career moved along
rapidly and effectively. During a
three year tenure at Louisiana
State, his powerful Tiger teams
won 20, lost 5 and tied 5 games,
scoring 528 points to their oppon
ents 128. His 1933 team there was
undefeated.
Major Jones was transferred to
the University of Oklahoma in
1935 and while with the Sooners
handled the football coachship in
addition to his regular duties with
the military department. Building
a team from raw material, his
1936 Sooner outfit made the best
showing of any Big Six outfit
against the champion Cornhuskers.
His first year here, Jones sur
prised the football world by beat
ing Minnesota in his first game.
After defeating the Golden Goph
ers, the Huskers went ahead to
win the Big Six title and included
victories at the expense of Iowa
and Indiana In the Big Ten. The
only defeat that year was the 13-7
decision handed the Scarlet and
Cream by the Pitt Panthers.
We need say little more about
the Husker head coach after that
time. What better tribute can be
paid to any coach than to have
his team be chosen for play in the
nation's number I grid battle, the
Rosebowl fracas? Spike this with
his almost regular task of coach
ing the West team for the East
West battle and you have the story
of a great coach. Husker fans
have made a foster-son of the
major so that his name and con
tributions to their football are as
much NEBRASKA as the home
grown boys who pfay the game.

The actors and script seemed to
live on the stage in "House of
Box-Tops" and the audience was
kept laughing at the antics of a
house wife too engrossed in con
tests and possible prizes to take
care of her family. When the
"worm turned" and the family
took to contests, the audience
showed their approval by hearty
applause.

'On The Fence' Bierman
says 'just another team'
. . but we wonder
This year, as always, the Corn
huskers are casting "an anxious
and watchful eye on those Bier
man coached Vikings from Mlnnea
sota. Traditionally the Big Ten
foes of Nebraska's footballers,
Minnesota is always one of the big
gridiron hurdles. Nebraska espe
cially views with anxiety Minne
sota's undefeated team of last sea
son and carries a secret hope to
avenge that last year's close game.
There seems to be a shade of
optimism as Coach Bernle Bier
man discussed the spring football
workouts of his championship
team this week. Yet prospects are
tempered by a number of uncer
tainties that prevent too many fa
vorable predictions.
Many holdovers.
"We have a good number of
men who are holdovers from last
season and some of the freshmen
look as if they might fit Into the
scheme of things with normal de
velopment," Bierman says. "I
can't make any predictions, how
ever, until after I have worked
with the squad all thru the' spring.
Then, there is the draft to be con
sidered. That will probably affect
us some, altho we don't know just
how much."
Nineteen lettermen from last
year's team are participating in
spring workouts, while four others
are devoting their time to other
sports and postpone reporting un
til next fall. Four who were in
the starting line-up of the unde
feated 1940 team are working with
the spring squad. Two others are
competing in other sports. The
four are Tackles Dick Wildung
and Urban Odson, Guard Gordon
Paschka, and Halfback Bruce
Smith. Charley Ringer, end, and
Bob Sweiger, fullback, are com
peting with the golf and baseball
teams, respectively.
Six outstanding frosh.
Bierman pointed out six mem
bers of the freshman squad who
are candidates of particular prom
ise, and also predicts that several

Of Herman Frickey, a spark

he makes satisfactory progress,
he may help us." Also closely
