Browne Defends Intercollegiate Football Dr. Phog Allen, the eminent Jay hawk basketball coaching wizard, told a press meeting several weeks ago that intercollegiate football would never be itself after the blow struck by the present mil itary crisis. Lieut. ColW. Harold Browne, Husker court coach and as istant grid men tor, takes issue with Dr. Phog in a letter from headquarters at Mansfield La., where he is on active army W. H. BROWNE duty. "As I sit at .Lincoln Journal m y improvis ed desk and office here in the midst of some of Louisiana's pine trees completing a few of my dut ies as the executive officer, I can see a sight that is good for my kind of sore eyes I am sure you will appreciate the point as I try to develope it in these hastily writ ten lines. Soldiers Play Football. "About 200 yards across the fields to a clearing wehre our ve hides are properly lined in a motor pool, and all drivers and assistant drivers are supposed to be busily engaged in what we call first and second echelon main tenance, I see this sight, "fhere are some 40 men in nondescript uni forms, and of all things, playing football. They have hastily organ ized sides, use a huddle, give some kind of instructions, jump out of that huddle with a spirit, speed, and enthusiasm that would do Justice to a major eleven. "The ball (yes, a football) is snapped and a smash off tackle or an end run was never enjoyed more. The tackeling is fair, there is no flinching when the ball car rier runs the line, and the pile- up is on of effervescing enthu siasm and pleasure. Fumbles, bad passes from center, poor blocking etc., are greatly in evidence. That does not matter it is the game the spirit of the contest that they are enjoying. Refreshes Them. "They are their own officials and the ball changes sides with very little other that a kidding dls sent. I know I should insist on return to duty, but I also know they are not in condition to stand the 'gaff and that in a very short Probable Starting Lineup . ... . . . . K..UI.- I.,.., 1A 1 .

The following will give some idea of what the Big Nine team must accomplish before they reach the goal they have set. For the first time this season the first team will be complete without injuries, and Colonel Bo McMillin has been smiling a little as he plots suprises for Nebraska. Starting Backfield Complete. The Hoosier starting backfield which was slated to start the sea son will be ready for the game. This unit was split up before the first game by injuries and the ex perts have been wondering what would happen when they got to gether. Now they will know. During early season ratings, In diana was ranked high on the pos sible undefeated list due to the po tential greatness of their back field composed of Billy Hildebrand, left half; Lou Saban, blocker; Dale Swihart, right half and Earl Dolo way at full. Thoughts in the air. The Hoosiers have a reputation of belne an air minded club with 37 of 91 passes clicking so far this season to account for 478 yards This total by the air route is close time they will return to their duties refreshed and in a better frame of mind. The field is rough, and the weeds are high, and a poorer place could hardly be found, Therefore if they escape without any serious injuries 1 11 be glad to feel the laxity in duty justified. "You can't kill, or legislate out a spirit Football represents so much of - the spirit of a game where mental, physical and emo tional expressions have a whole some outlet that youth will demand and have, in one way or another, Thei'efore, it would be folly for our colleges to attempt to kill the game. ' Little Ground for Phog's Words, "I have enjoyed some 20 years of association with atnletics ana the teachers of these sports, and have found very little grouna ior the rash statement made by Phog. Such logic can only come from emotional judgement rather man rationalizing' the facts to be had. I for one could not sit by and allow such statements to go un-chRllene-ed. Hence this expression of the viewpoint of one who has given many years to coaching and is looking forward to the time when he can acraln be a part of the great game of football, and allied coaching duties."

On the throwing end of the aerials has been Hillebrand and Doloway and from all indications, it will be these two to watch during the game. With all of these things to their credit the Hoosiers think that they have at last found the winning combination and with that thought uppermost are prepared to shoot the works. Defense Ranks Second. The Huskers have something of a record to hold up since the Scar let squad currently ranks second in the nation in the matter of rushing defense. In two games Ne braska's opponents have gained but yards on the ground route. This record will probably fall Saturday due to the stiffer op position, but the forward wall is proud of that figure and promises to do everything to maintain it A slight bit of gloom has hit the stronghold at Bloomington with the announcement that first string end Howard Elliott would not be able to play due to a knee injury that will keep him out for three weeks. Selleck Smiles. John K. Selleck, business man ager of the athletic department, intimated that a throng of 32,000 or better would attend the tilt and that the knothole sections will be open again even if it means the sacrifice of some general admis sions. Here are the statistics that have been compiled between both teams in the five years during which the two teams have been competing. With the knowledge that the Huskers have won three and the other two games have resulted in ties, it can be seen that the Hoo siers have always put a strong aggregation on the field every year .

Red Littler, one of the top 440 men in the nation last year, will anchor the senior team. Bill Smutz, Big Six high hurdle champ; Don Morris, Scottsbluff sprinter; - and Arden Kersey, distance man, comprise the upperclass team. The sophomore relay team, un beaten during the 1941 season, fea tures Benson's Al Brown in the anchor slot. Bill Connor, Bayard high luminary; Paul Davidson, former North Platte sprinter; and Bill Rheil, another top prospect, will carry the baton ahead of Brown. A 150-pound man would weigh almost 50,000,000 pounds on one of the newly-found white dwarf stars, it is estimated by Willen J. Luyten, professor of astronomy at the University of Minnesota.
