I Br C " "V I Chrii A Speaking of prophets. , With "Red" Eugene Littler be ing beat out in his pt event in Berkeley yesterday afternoon, we can't help but remember what the wise old owl of the Herald sports world, Fred Ware, said in his 'Col umn yesterday morn. In his last minute comments, Ware said, "In deed, if Littler manages to out hurry the brilliant Grover Klem mer in the quarter mile it will be an upset. "Grover has been able to polish himself outdoors pretty often whi'e Red has been forced to do the best he could on the many-kap oval beneath the stadium. Klemmer was clocked last Monday in 47.4 seconds. Red has run even faster than that but not this year. He won't be able to until he has drawn his vitamins directly from the sun for two weeks or so;" The time of the race was 47 flat. Ware has another for his "I told you so" category. Of scretcy schedules . . . The Huskers' gridiron schedule for this coming season is a wicked one from way back. A perfect schedule calls for home games on every other Saturday. But look at this one. The Cornhuskers will open at Iowa State, return to Lin coln for two games, then hit the road for three consecutive week ends at Missouri, Kansas State, and Minnesota. The heavy, work comes in November. On consecu tive weekends the Oornhuskers win meet Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Iowa and Oklahoma. Minnesota has a roster of veterans, Oklahoma is now considered the big threat and obstacle in the Big Six cham pionship race. Th3 schedule is as follows: Oct. 4, Iowa State at Ames; Oct. 11, Kansas at Lincoln; Oct. If, Indiana at Lincoln; Oct. 25, Missouri at Columbia. Nov. 1, Knnsas State ct Manhattan; Nov. 6, Minnesota at Minneapolis; Nov. Jf. Pittsburgh at Lincoln; Nov. 22, Iowa at Lincoln, and Nov. 29 Oklahoma at Lincoln.

Short talks wre made by commanders of all JSTS ii?s Husker nine; other game postponed Kansas State's diamond nine topped the Nebraska baseballera in the initial Big Six tilt for both teams Friday afternoon by a score of 5 to 7 when the Huskers hur'er, Ernie Swanson,, weakened momen tarily with two, out in the sixth inning to permit four hits and a walk that accounted for three runs. The second game, scheduled for yesterday afternoon, was rained out. According to present plans, the tilt will be played off later in the season. According to Big Six rulings, each session calls for two games to be played by the con testing teams. Kirkland pitches. Floyd Kirkland a veteran of other campaigns, was on the UN golfers ready for Oklahoma Nebraska's golf team teed off Thursday afternoon, April 17 at Lincoln Country club, and deter mined five qualifiers for the match with Oklahoma, April 26th. The five men who qualified over the 18 hole course and their scores are Jack Hyland, 79, Don Albii, 82; Byron Adams, 84, Edwin Lauf, 87, and Jack Weidman, 90. Jack Weidman, the only return ing lettermen, was low qualifier at the fifth position as competition proved keen. However, each man can now challenge the man direct ly above him, and thus obtain a higher position if he wins. Coach Ed Newkirk was not worried over the surprisingly high scores carded by each man since the course was in poor condition. With the grass too long in the fairways and the gTeens too fast, the golfers were at a great disadvantage. Ne predictions. Newkirk withholds any . predic tions about the chances of this year's team. But with only one veteran returning great improve ment will have to be shown by the new men for a winning team. Al lan and Adams have shown im provement, and both should shoot consistently in the 708. Jack Hy land has already showa that his scores too should run in the 70's. Four men will leave for Okla homa some time Friday to com pete with the Oklahoma team Saturday afternoon. the companies and other Pershing Rifles dignitaries.

He hurled an 11-hit ball game for Kansas but kept the Husker blows well scattered. Final tabulations showed both teams had five errors during the game. Although Nebraska was trail ing by one run at the end of the sixth inning when Swanson was batted out of the box by the Kan sas batsmen, he had permitted only five blows during the first part of the game and none since the second inning. Hornsby, Kansas shortstop, drew first blood for the Aggies when he blasted a 2-1 pitch to deep center field for a home run. Swanson was the only Husker baseballer to take a trip around the plate. His tally came in the fourth inning. Held in field. In this game, Sid Held, last year's Itffterman who saw a lot of action on the mound, held down the right field position. This change came after the double de feats of last weekend when tha Husker team went down seriously a two consecutive days before the Big Sevn champs, the University of Colorado. Held plays either of the two places. An eye on Girls smmar mmmm tM am' Sports I wandered into the WAA office the other day to get' an idea from Ruth Mathers as to what I should write for this column.

The last girl had hardly made her exit before every girl was back on the stage rehearsing a particularly rough spot which had stymied her during the dance. Amid the din of graceful jumps and falls, I spotted Betty Groth practicing her solo part in one oi the numbers.

High point man for the Huskers was Bill Smutz. The stride and jump boy copped first place in the 120 high hurdle race and came in under the tape in second spot in the 220 low hurdle event. Smutz entered the broad jump and came thru to win third in that particu lar event. Eugene "Red" Littler came in second in his pet event, behind California's champion Klemmer. Klemmer covered the 440 yards in 47 seconds flat. This time repre sented a speed that Littler was not expected to come up to.

Littler won the 220 yard dash. Making a distinctive mark for Nebraska was Bob Ginn in the mile run. Bob copped this event when he covered the distance in 4:11.1. This represents one of the faster runs in collegiate competi tion. According to reports, the Husker distance man paced the field to the tape. The Husker team, according to most authorities, went into the meet under two different handi caps. Their practice sessions this spring have been held indoors due to the inclement Nebraska weather. The Bruins, on the other hand, had the advantage of many outdoor practices. In the field of competition, the UN squad has had one meet, that of last Tues day, when they came out on top in a four way tussle with teams from the three Utah colleges in Salt Lake City.
