When an irresistible force hits
an immovable object something is
bound to happen. . .This axiom
holds true along the line of foot
ball just as along motor vehicle
highways. . .
The team that can put a lot f
weight on the field without sacri
ficing the matter of speed is the
team that is going to win the ball
games . . . Nebraska can hold its
own with any of the Big Six teams
on this subject . . .
Oklahoma holds the edge on all
of the conference in the weight de
partment with quite an airay of
beef on cleats . . . They average
about 212 pounds in the line...
Here are the seven who get to
gether to produce this nigh unbe
lievable firgue. . .
W. G. Lamb, end, 187; Roger
Eason, tackle, 210; Ralph Harris,
guard, 245; Jack Marsee. center,
185; Joe Allton, guard, 231; How
ard Teeter, tackle, 234; and Jim
Tyree, end, 195. . . ,
The backfield brings down the
average, recording 179... The
backs have speed however, and
when you get a fast backfield
clicking behind a big line, it looks
like a championship outfit. . .The
team average is still 195...
Nebraska comes next in the
average figures. . .The linemen
average 197 pounds while the
backs are the heaviest in the con
ference boasting 189 pounds. . .To
gether they average 193. . .
In the line the Huskers need
take nothing from any team due
to the speed that they have along
with the weight. . .George Abel,
fastest guard in the midwest,
Chintz Herndon, Freddy Meier and
Bob Ludwick will lead the speed
group ...
Kansas faiaie
ranks next with
192 average...
Their line
weighs 203
pounds and
Hobbs Adams
calls it one of
t ??4 the best in his
experience and
he has had the
experience . . .
The backfield
at 183 is touted
as 'the best in
the conference.'
t
Hobba Adantt
Kansas U., beaten Friday by
Temple, 31-9, has an aggressive
line that should tip the scales at
201 with the backfield light at
180...
Iowa State is the last upon
whom we have figures. . .They will
send a team out that will stack up
at 189 with'the line weighing 196
and the backs 182. .
