Where, oh where, can the
Rose Bowl seniors he?
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. Once
again the Huskcr luminaries sat in
on a "T party" and once again
the affair terminated with the
guests under the table. Alfson's
slashing: guard play during a brief
appearance certified his Ail-American
citation.

gaged the fourth unit and the sec
ond met the third with several interesting-
results. 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.
