I oring through last year's copies
of the Daily, we came to an issue
jn particular that provided a great
deal of interest to us. . . It was the
issue that came out the day before
the Huskers' last game of the sea
son. . . That is, the last scheduled
game of the season. . . In that
paper was a list of Nebraska play
ers that were for the last time
donning football equipment to play
in Memorial Stadium.
There was a great number of
then in fact, there were 13
names on this list. . , Warren
Alfson, Ray Prochaska, Royal
Kahler, Bob Kahler, Theos Thomp
son, Leonard Muskin, Bob Bur
russ, Walt Luther, Forrest Behm,
Roy Petsch, Harry Hopp and
Herm Rohrig were the players. . .
They were the backbone of the
team so to speak for they had
carried the Huskers through a
tough schedule with but a single
loss.
Eight Starters Were Lost.
Of these 13, Alfson, Prochaska,
Royal Kahler, Burruss, Luther,
Behm, Petsch, Hopp and Rohrig
had starting assignments. . . Eight
starters were lost to the team and
at that point, sports scribes
throughout the nation were busy
figuring out Nebraska's chances
for the coming year. . . We have
seen these results, five losses and
three wins with one tough game
left on the slate. . . This gives
ample evidence of what a team
can expect after losing eight start
ers and five needed substitutes.
.
Outlook Slightly Brighter.
This year things are different
as it will be the swan song for
seven seniors. . . These seven grid
ders have turned in a great deal
of good football at this institu
tion and no matter the season,
these players have been putting

serve all of the praise that they
get. . . On this list will be the
names of George Abel, Vike

Meier and Fred Preston. . . Let's
give this list a little closer scru

Leaving will be George Abel,
picked by several on All-American
teams at guard. . . George stands
6-2 and weighs 200 pounds. . . He

is outstanding on defense and his
speed makes him an effective run
ning guard. . . Vike Francis, The
Viscount, will be playing for the
last time also, and leaves a good
record behind him. . . Last year,
when the Rose Bowl game was
Dlaved. Vike turned in a terrific
game and scored one of the
touches. . . Due to ineligibility, he
has been out for the Minnesota
and Pitt games but last week
against Iowa U. he turned in one
of his old-time performances. . .
Vike stands 6-2 and weighs 208.
Clarence and Fred.
Clarence Herndon, a 200 pound
six footer, has been a thorn in
the opponents' sides for the entire
season. . . He is one of the big
reasons for their failure to gain
through the left side of the line
in every tilt. . . Chintz was a 60
minute man in the Rose Bowl
last January. Fred Meier vacates
his center post after next Satur
day. . . Freddy is a never-to-be'
forgotten center, famed for a cen
ter around play that put the
Huskers in easy scoring distance
and eased them out of a tight
situation last fall. He weighs 185
and is 5-11.
Preston Last Starter.
Fred Preston, a 6-3, 190 pound
end, will be ending up a career
that sparkles with good defensive
stands. . . Against Iowa, Freddy
rose to the heights when be
blocked a Hawk punt, sending the
ball careening into the end zone
where the Huskers recovered for
the tying touchdown. . . This
concludes the seniors that will be
starting for the last time.
Don't Forget Them.
On the sidelines will be two
more seniors. . . Injuries have
kept them out of the majority of
the games. . . They are Kenny
Simmons and Bob Ludwick. ,
Kenny was the first casualty of
the Huskers this season when he
sustained a broken jaw bone In
a scrimmage before the Iowa
State game. . , He had his mouth
wired shut for several weeks but
finally he got the O.K. to play.
Against Indiana, Kenny rose to
the heights and was the spark
that kept the Huskers from fall
ing apart. . . Then before the
Minnesota game, he had a knee
torn out of joint in a passing
drill and has been out 'ever
since. . . He weighs but 160 and
stands 5-72.
Bob Ludwick, 6-0 and 175
pounds, has been well hit by the
injury jinx all year. . . A bad ankle
injury forced him out of the Btart
ing lineup and has kept him out
the greater percentage of the
games... Lud lettered last year at
the end position,
Indian Jack Jacobs Is
Major Oklahoma Threat
Aided by Junior Golding
The Huskers have met teams
with a lot of good backfield men
this year Lohry, Miller, Hillen
brand and Jacoby, Zelzanek, Ice,
Steuber and Wade, Daly and Gar-
naas, Jones, Farmer and Couppee
and Green and this Saturday, Ok
lahoma will field a team whose
line has been a problem all sea
son; good backs are available, and
in quantities.
Sparked in the backfield by Jack
Jacobs, the pride of the Creek In
dians and Soonerland, the Okla-
homans made their best showing
of the season cgainst Marquette
last Saturday. In that game, Tail
back Jacobs was flanked by Orv
Mathews, speediest man on the
team, at quarter, Fullback Bill
Campbell and Junior Godling at
the wingback.
Golding and Jacobs.
Golding and Jacobs rank third
and fourth in scoring done this
season among Big Six players,
with 42 and 36 points respectively.
Strangely enough, a Sooner play
er who has not scored a touchdown
this season, is in fifth place with
32 points. Guard Jack Haberlein
has kicked 23 points for conver
sions and three field goals.
Last year Haberlein saw his only
playing time come in the form of
extra point-kicking, and he place-
kicked 13 in 14 attempts, which
means the Huskers will have to
keep the Sooners outside of the
35 yard line.

"Fats" Ineligible.
The Oklahomans, with the ex
ception of Ralph "Fats" Harris,
245 pound senior guard, will be at
full strength.
While the Huskers have met
several formations this season
single wing, double wing, "spin
ner wing," and the T they'll have
a new one to figure out in their
last battle; it's Coach Dewey Lus
ter's "A" formation, based on ball
concealment with twb or three
backfield men faking a carry on
every play.
If the "A" starts rolling --as it
did against Iowa State, K. U., and
Marquette it'll be a long after
noon for the Huskers, and if the
"A" doesn't start rolling as it
didn't against Texas and Missouri
it'll be a finish for the Huskers
they way they started the season,
with two wins.

Missouri's strong gridiron club
breezed past Kansas 45-6 Saturday
to bag the 1941 Big Six grid tro
phy. Outscoring the opposition,
153-19, the Tigers bowed only to
Ohio State during the season.
Oklahoma and Nebraska are
slated to collide at Lincoln Satur
day in a match that will decide the
Big Six runnerup. Oklahoma can
claim undisputed runnerup spot
with a victory while a Husker win
would force a Nebraska-Sooner tie
for second.
Nebraska's rejuvenated crew
squeezed out a 14-13 decision over
dangerous Iowa Saturday. Okla
homa smothered hitherto potent
Marquette, 61-14, in one of the big
surprises of the day. Only non
conference games Saturday are the
Marquette-Iowa State and Arizona-Kansas
State frays.
Letlermen Back
In Three Spots
For Jerry Adam
Three major lettermen are work
ing out regularly with Mentor
Jerry Adam's Comhusker wres
tling squad.
Newt Copple, 1939-40 veteran,
will battle with George Cockle,
two year vet, for the top spot in
the 145 pound division. Herb Jack
man, 220 pound heavyweight, is
the other seasoned grappler on
deck.
Ed Copplfi, up from the 1939-40
frosh team, is favored to lead the
155 pounders. Ken Huesmoller,
minor letterman last year, and
Bob Poe are top candidates for
the 165 pound position. Darrel
Copple has the edge over other
135 pounders.
An all-university wrestling tour
ney, date for Dec. 15, should bring
other potent gmnt-and-groan art
ists to the fore.
