In a finish that would do credit
to any century dash, Nebraska's
bespectacled Bobby Ginn sprinted
home a half yard ahead of Okla
homa's Bill Lyda in the two mile
dual between the I tuskers and
Sooners, Saturday morning pre
ceeding the game in the time of
9:45.3.
It was a race between two great
runners, Lyda and Ginn, all the
way with Dick Smethers charging
into first place several times dur
ing the race but falling back to
a poor third when the two mile
marker was readied.
Sprint Did It.
All the way around the last
lap of the eight lap grind Lyda
drove forward and then Ginn
closed up the gap. In the last 50
yards both put on a sprint that
would do credit to any 220 yard
man and Ginn finally pushed him
self out in front in the last 15
yards.
As for team totals, the Sooners
captured a second, third, fourth
and sixth place out of the eight
places offered to score 15 points
while the Huskers had to be con
tent with first, fifth, seventh and
eighth for a total of 21 points.
In a two mile run the team of
four men that scores the lowest
number of points wins the dual.
This makes the second victory for
the Oklahoma team this year and
the first loss for Nebraska.
Time Good.
At the mile Smethers was in
first place with Lyda, second;
Ginn, third. The time was good in
t the opinion of Nebraska coach, Ed
Weir, with the weather right and
the track fast.
The way that the eight runners
came in: Bob Ginn, Nebraska,
first; Bill Lyda, Oklahoma, sec
ond; Dick Smethers, Oklahoma,
third; Hoyt Burns, Oklahoma,
fourth; Paul Johrde, Nebraska,
fifth; Howard Pruitt, Oklahoma,
sixth; Arden Kersey, Nebraska,
seventh; Jim Brogan, Nebraska,
eighth. Harlan Culwell of Nebras
ka and Warren Layman of Okla
homa ran unattached.

Two years ago this fall, Gwinn
Henry took over the task of head
master for Kansas gridiron out
comes, and never did a coach face
a more hopeless job. Any Kansas
high school athlete who had ambi
tions of making good in college
football left the Sunflower state
for Colorado, California, or Okla
homa. When Gwinn stepped in, he
wasn't even blessed with a good
holdover crop of lettermen and
frosh prospects.
In his first two years, '39 and
'40, Henry was able to win only
two ball games each fall, and
those against small teams. How
ever, this is his third season and
the outlook looms brighter. Nine
men came up to the varsity from
last year's frosh team labeled as
future stars and six of them are
in the present line-up as sopho
mores. Kansas doesn't figure to
win many games this autumn, but
it wouldn't surprise team followers
if Henry's boys sprang a few up
sets. A Team Analysis
The strongest position on the
Kansas squad is at end. Henry has
four fine flankers in Ulrich, Ha
gen, Schaake and Hardman. On
Say--You Guys & Gals!

Shown on the way to the Kansas 17 yard line at the game yesterday Is Dale Bradley, Nebraska
a pass. This 35 yard run paved the way for the Husker's initial sco re in the first quarter.
the left wing Is "Hub" Ulrich, 193
pound senior, one of the best de
fensive ends in the valley. Under
studying Ulrich is another senior,
Ralph Schaake, while two juniors,
Paul Hardman and Bob Hagen,
share the right wing duties quite
capably.
The top three varsity tackles
happen to be sophomores. Jack
Tenenbaum (2101 and Gene
"Chief" Long (204) are starters
with Warren Hodges (215) as
their first relief man. As a fresh
man. Hodges was rated as a com
ing All-American but somehow he
hasn't been able to find himself
in varsity competition. .
The guard situation is fair, al
though considerably weakened by
injuries at the present moment.
Of the best four guards. Fluker.
Merkel, Kern and Crawford, all
but Crawford will graduate in
June. In Bob Fluker (207) left
guard, Gwinn Henry believes he
has one of the conference's best.
The regular center is Bob Gith
ens, a 190 pound sophomore. Gith
ens, against Temple and Washing
ton, proved to be a worthy succes
sor for all-star Don Pierce ('40).
The only other pivot man on the
squad is another sophomore, Dale
Lowery.
In Ralph Miller, senior quarter
back, lie all of Kansas' hopes for
success this season. Miller has an
impressive three year record in
passing and punting, in addition
to being a good ball carrier. Har
lan Altman, sophomore, may take
Miller's place as signal caller next
fall.
Three of the first four Jayhawk
halfbacks will return next season
and each one of the trio has great
potentialities. In the present start
ers, sophomores Ray Evans (181)
and Ray Niblo (184), Kansas has
a pair of future greats. Niblo will
take over Miller's passing and
kicking assignments next fall
while Evans bids fair to be the
top ground gainer for K. U. for
this season and the next two years.
Don Pollom, a junior who is press
ing Niblo for his job, ran 26 yards
to score on Temple and will snatch
a few headlines before he finishes
competition.
Henry depends upon a sopho
more redhead and a junior letter
man to handle his fullbacking.
Don "Red Dog" Ettinger, 195
pound first year man, is colorful
and good. Give him another year
and he should be the best in the
Big Six. No. 2 line smasher is Kd
Linquist, tow-headed junior, who
ran 18 yards for a touchdown
against Washington the only time
he got to carry the ball.
If the draft doesn't put an end
to college football as "Phog" Allen
thinks it will, Gwinn Henry should
have one of the finest teams in
the Big Six in another year or
two. Watch the Jayhawkers of
1942.
Ed. Note C lint Kanaga is
sports editor of the K. U. student
paper. He wrote this guest column
for the Daily before the game
yesterday.
