We of the middlcwest who have witnessed the perform ances of Alf-wn, Rohrig, Luther vand "Hippity" Hopp over a pe iiod of three playing years are well convinced of their talents and capacities, and do not hesitate to predict that if their supporters vvill place a qualifying number of ballots for them htey undoubtedly . will give the Profcssoional Cham "pions, the Chicago Bears, a taste of the brilliant type of ball mani fested in the Big Six conference.

A 11-American guard. Warren AllV.on, is fiureiitly running in eighth place with the National ballot at !H),);,K votes, as Herman, "the barrel" sits in tenth position with 119,382. Nebraska fans, let's get behind these four boys with bushels of ballots and reward them for their three years of hard fought competition under the Scar let and Cream colors with berths on the 1941 All-Star lineup. It will be the first time in the history of the contest that four boys from one school have dominated the pro gram. Wibbels may do it. Magic and manpower constitute a combination of strength rarely found in any human being, even an Aryan, but when they are dis covered to be working haid-in-hand for the good of one individual the world usually sees a new champion of some kind. In this case these two mysterious forces seem to be working for advance ment of the sporting realm's dis cus record held by Indiana's Archie Harris. Casual remarks of a year and a half ago that a cer tain 21 year old Comhusker twirler would fling the platter to an all time high arc becoming more numerous as well as trace able now. "N" man Ed Wibbels seems to be the man foremost in the minds of all forecasters to shatter Archie's existing feat of 171 feet. Edscl's colossal heave of 16G is only 8 feet short now. All the while the mystery of his magic and manpower are growing and helping him in his easy workouts behind the stadium walls. The exercise this summer have been none too strenuous, but only con sistent, in that several times the old plate has sailed to distances of 1G0 feet with not too much ef fort applied. Ed's magic lies in the speed of his complicated windup, which working in coordination with the manpower found in his massive shoulders and arms, will someday within the next two or three years catapult the old disc to a distance somewhere on the other side of 174 feet, and the name of Ed Wibbels along with it. World series dope. By word of the mouth of that doctor of forecasters, that dean of predictors at thetender age of 19, that czar of Sixteenth street prog nisticators, Jim "Sugar" Roberts fearlessly asserts that the Yanks and the Dodgers will lock horns next autumn in the world series. With the heavy artillery guided by that sage of baseball, oj Mc Carthy, bringing another pennant home. Eor the sake of argument, Mr. Roberts can be reached at the 625 No. 16th, phone 2-4988, any hour after 8 p. m. daily. Ah! Parting.
