Upon graduating from his pr. p school, this athlete sought a school that was not offering him every advantage for his enrolling in that particular institution. Many middlewestern colleges of fered this star athlete scholar ships if he were to enroll at their school. But he didn't. He chose Ne braska. A uni versity which did not bid for his services.

That big boy. as you have probably guessea, is Bob McNutt, the Colby, Kas., blood -sweating behemoth. A member of Ad Lewandowskl's Scout Club last fall to preserve another year of athletic eligibility. Bob now shines as a great tackle prospect for the 1941-43 football McNutt is taken for granted now as a star for the future in Husker grid annals. His 220 pounds over his 6 foot frame, coupled with his speed and agility for 8 boy his size, makes the horizon rosy. And now another McNutt is go ing to be graduated from Colby come May. His name is Lynn, Bob's 185 pound brother. The younger McNutt is an all state Kansas fullback, an all around track star, an all-conference basketball nominee, a good baseballer, and president of the Colby National Honor Soicety. But other schools have also found out about Lynn. Northwest ern. Dartmouth, Texas besides the Kansas universities have offered Lynn athletic scholarships. However, Bob's brother has not accepted any "foreign" bid as yet. Chances are Nebraska would like to see Lynn enroll here just as much as Bob would. But that re mains to be seen.
