By Norris Anderson. Apart from football's pre-season bowl of arguments and the busi ness of forecasting All-Ameriea accolades for 1941 grid greats, one f the chief questions before the Cornhusker house is: "What hap pened to the Rose Bowl seniors?" Another 'T party. National popularity hoisted AU 'American Warren Alfson, sturdy Ray Prochaska and bouncing Her mie Rohrig to the All-Star roster for the annual August fracas with the professional champs.

The scrimmage session was too short, however, to give any basic information on the teams as a whole. The afternoon session was given over to perfecting pass defense and then came a partial scrim mage with the team on offense running plays against a defense composed of six men. The workout was to develop offensive power. Vike Starts Proceedings. Hard charging Vike Francis started off the fireworks when on the first play he slipped off tackle and was away for a good thirty five yards when he was forced out of bounds. But for the next few plays the first outfit was bogged down by the hard fighting fourth crew. Forrest Bachman, Lincoln cen ter, showed up well on the defense and slipped thru repeatedly to break up the play before it reached the line of scrimmage. Dale Brad ley drove thru for several good nins while the leading team had the ball. Go With Gusto. When the second and third strings went at each other with the former on the offense the fire works really began. Due to the fact that there were several in juries the second string backfield was changed to include Roy Long and Howard Debus at the halfback spots, Wayne Blue at fullback and Fred Metheny at quarter. Debus was driving for repeated gains and after a few plays the second string had moved the ball from the middle of the field where they received it to the double stripes, with Debus carrying it over. He kicked the extra point and Major Jones gave the boys the signal to head for the showers. Simmons first injury. One of the first injuries to a player this season came when the last teams were playing. Kenny Simmons, likeable back from Val entine, Neb., went into a pileup and came out with a cut on his right eye and a possible jaw in jury. The full extent of his in juries was not readily learned, nor for how long he would be out of practice. Willmer Hansen, the other stub of the team along with Simmons, tinned his ankle and had to sit out the rest of the period. During the morning practice kickolls and kickoff returns were practiced along with pass defense which seems to be an important part of Biff's training. Debus, Bradley, Francis and Simmons were doing the flipping and were hitting consistently. Another phase that has been em phasized the last few days was power punting. That is punting against the wind for distance and accuracy. The passing foursome named before were also doing the booting. The chances are thnt Monday will be used to perfect plays and that Tuesday might see the teams in full game scrimmage. Rehtns is Arizona exchange teacher Miss Anne-Marie Pwehttis, who received a B.
