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.

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.

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

ernoon. 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.

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.

Amid the din of graceful jumps

The University of Nebraska
Husker trackmen went up against
one of the nation's top track and
field squads yesterday in the gold
en sunshine of California and
came out on the short end of the
fracas. 1 The Bruins of the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley de
cisively downed the Scarlet and
Cream men with the final tally
reading 89 to 42.
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. Klem

four out-of-door meets this year.
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. California, on this '
score, has had four outdoor com
petitions already this year.
