Lincoln grid fans have plenty to
keep them busy this weekend.. In
fact they will be kept busy re
cuperating, from the two feature
tilts well into the next week. . .The
important one of course will be
Indiana and Nebraska with all the
festivities of Homecoming thrown
in for good measure ....
The first Mf of the double fea
ture for Capitol city fans will come
Friday night.however when Lincoln
High, number one ranking team
in the state, takes on Northeast
high number five in the state
ranks. . .This is really the highlight
of any prep grid game over the
weekend. . .
For years Lincoln high has been
accorded top places in the state
prep football situation. . .Being a
former Lincoln high student, we
know that the Links have one of
me consistently Dest learns in me
state... Then, last year, the three
smaller schools in northeast Lin
coln banded together in one school.
This week will see the get-together
of these schools. .Fireworks
are on tap and the outcome will
be close but Lincoln should come
out on top....
Qualms of fear peremated the
staff with George Able guard
was hurt In the last play of scrim
mage Wednesday . ernoon. It
was sufficient to end all scrimmage
for the Huskers for the rest of the
week....Prevously injured players
are just returning to the squad and
the coaches don't want to see any
more leaving on that account....
gA golfers will be interested in
a treat in store for them on Octo
ber 28 when two of the leading
feminine exponents of the golfing
game, Patty Berg and Helen Dit-
willer breeze in to town . . .The two
will pause long enough to give a
lecture demonstration and play an
exhibition round... Keep the date
in mind, gals . . .
John Klmbrough, Texas All
American has decided to go Holly
wood After December 1, he wi
give up the gridiron sport that
brought him a great deal of fame
and fortune to pursue a life under
the cameras. . .The football player
stjll rates higher in my estimation
than the great profile...

Coach Refutes
Phbg's Attack
Ll. Col. 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

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

And they might get the job
done.
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."

deadly
to the 621 yard mark that has
been rung up on the ground. 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 .

Conference Relay
Champs to Race
Sophs Saturday
Cornhusker cinder fans will get
a preview of Nebraska's 1942
quarter mile crop in Memorial
Stadium Saturday when the crack
sophomore mile relay foresome
matches strides wtih the Big Six
champion upperclass quartette be
tween halves of the Husker-In-diana
game.
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.
