Army Reds Drop Navy Blues, 3046
Spring Football Drills End
With Last Intersquad Tilt
By Jack Simpson.
Coach Glenn Presnell called spring football practice to an abrupt
halt Saturday afternoon when the Army eleven downed the Navy
gridders in the final inter-squad scrimmage 30 to 16, before a chilly
crowd of 1,500 Husker fans at Memorial Stadium.
Sparked by the running of Wally Hopp and the ball toting and
kicking of Dale Bradley the Army gridders ran roughshod over the
Navy eleven. Roy Long, Allen Zikmund and K. Eisenhart proved to
be the star for the losers. Long passed and ran well while Zikmund
did a fine Job on the receiving end of the aerials..
Eisenhart Shines.
Eisenhart played an important part in the success of the Navy
offense while the bulk of the defensive work for the Navy was handled
by the center Stranathan, who played a bang up game for the losers.
He threw the Army ground gainers for many loses. Gelwick played
a good defensive game for the victorious Army team.
Hopp and Bradley went across
for pay dirt for 12 points each.
Vic Schleich, talented toe artist,
booted the pigskin over the cross
bar four times, once a 20 yard
field goal. Zikmund and Murphy
scored the losers tallies.
Army Rides to Score.
The Army taking Long's kick
that bounded out on their own
36 yard strip set-up their first
score. Hopp hit the line and
smashed through to the Navy's
41 and a first down. A Metheny
to Bradley pass was good to the
20 yard line and another first
down. Bradley hit the line three
times and finally plunged through
to the 10 yard chalk which gave
the Army a first down and 10
yards to pay dirt.
Bradley hit the center of the
Navy forward wall going to the
five and then the two yard line.
Hopp plunged over from the two
for the first goal of the game.
Stranathan blocked Schleich place
ment for the extra-point. The ini
tial quarter ended with the Army
on top by a 6 to 0 score.
Bradley Scores Next.
A few minutes after the second
quarter opened the Army eleven
pushed over their second tally.
Dale Eradley caught hold of the
pigskin and set it sailing 65 yards
to the Navy four inch line. The
Navy booted out to the 25 ana
in four plays Biadley went over
from the one yard stripe. Schleich
made the placement. Army 13,
Navy 0.
Howard Debus standing in the
shadow of his own goal flipped
Allen Zikmund an aerial which he
snatched with one hand. .With
the Army secondary after him
Zikmund streaked 70 yards to pay
dirt for the first Navv Koal.
At haff time it look as if the
Navy had an outside chance to
down the hard running Army
eleven. But before the final gun
sounded the Army scored many
crushing blows to the Navy. The
Blue shirted gridders were just
not a match for the power of the
Army line and running attack.
Early in the third quarter and
after failing to gain in three at
tempts the Army decided to let
the educated toe of Vic Schleich
talk. Schleich standing on the
ravy 20 yard strips split the
middle of the bars to give the Navy
an added three points. Hopp tallied
from the one and Schleich hit the
cross bars once again in the third
period to bring the count 23 to 7
and the end of the third period
The Army broke afire to out
score their powerful opponents In
the final stanza. Bradley twisted
and spun his way from the 30
to score, but this final goal by
the Army men put fire into the
eyes of the underdog who went
ahead and scored nine points be
fore the final gun stopped another
drive.

Other league 2 contests saw
the ZBTs nipping the Sammies

coming back to eke out a 10-9

SPORTING activity seems
campus and even throughout the nation this weekend ... Of course
there was the big grid get-together yesterday in the stadium . . . And
sav wasn't the weather nice for that
not much is going on . . . Ben Hogan
golf . . . Mrs. Whitney's derby hopes
favorite nag beat out Whirlaway recently . . . The Citrus league is
progressing and the Cardinals' Musial is being touted as the rookie
of the year . . . But aside from
the easy-going sportsmen.
COME to think of it, this was and still should be a good week
end for golf ... All of you club-swing'ers have a chance to make use
of some of the better courses In the state ... All of them, Broadview,
Lincoln Country club, Pioneers and so on report that the courses are
all up to par . . . And speaking of par it might not be a bad idea to
go out and try to crack it.
AFTER cogitating for a little while, we thought that we
might pass on. some gripes that have been made in our vicinity . . .
First, we think it would be a good idea to change the softball set-up
. . . The way it is now there is a field behind the coliseum ... All
well and good but it just so happens that about the time the I-M
teams come out to play, the smoke stack on the university's heating
unit starts belching smoke . , . Thursday night, yours truly was one
of about twenty-five to head for the diamond . . . Evidently, the smoke
stack saw us co'ming because it immediately started giving plenty of
soot-filled smoke that was plenty hard to breathe.
IF the wind had not been so cooperative, the invading smoke
might not have been noticed ... But in just a second about twenty
five fellows were trying to get the soot out of their eyes ... We
were one of them . . . Some of them got the soot out but others, we
were Included, had a lot of fun trying to get it out for the next two
days ... All the while everyone was coughing from the smoke fumes
... If they expect teams to play there (they, meaning anyone who can
control the situation) then they should remove at least some of the
larger hazards . . . Just the soot removed would help.
ANOTHER gripe which we have heard in increasing tempo
and force concerns intramurals also ... The consensus of opinion is
that whenever the I-M set-up is enveloped in constant bickerings, dis
putes and claims of foul as it assuredly is at the present time, then
will the purpose be lost ... It seems like it is getting to the point
that teams aren't worried about
whether or not they will find cause
like . . A well-defined set of binding rules, rigidly adhered to is the
onlv wav to run the system ...
r
noe to the list of gripers on this
EVERYONE we have asked
Presnell's liberal plan to allow spectators to come to practice sessions
. . . It gives a closer feeling between
set-up at Nebraska ... At times,
have to be tacked up.
Sooners May
Run Distance
Relay at Drake
NORMAN, Okla.-- Oklahoma
may try the four-mile relay at the
Drake Relays April 24 and 25 at
Des Moiiies, Iowa, John Jacobs,
Sooner track coach, says.
Four men from each school
compete in this event, each man
running one mile and handing the
baton to a team mate.
The Sooners haven't entered a
four-mile relay since 1927, fifteen
years ago, when their medley
quartet of Russel Carson, Harold
Keith, Jack Sides and Leslie Nib
lack placed second in that event
at Drake, losing by a scant foot
to Oregon State.
Likes the Distance.
Jacobs likes the four-mile as
signment at Des Moines this year

though, the no visitors sign will
because it ties in well with what
is nrobablv Oklahoma's- strongest
relav. the distance medley which
the Sooners won almost without
opposition ' at the Texas Relays
last month.
Also, the two relays are run on
different days at Drake which
would insure a well-rested Sooner
entry for each place.
Personnel of the Sooner four
mile quartet at Des Moines this
year probably would be Bill Lyda,
Hoty Burns, Warren Lehman and
Dick Smethers. The only natural
milcrs of this group are Smethers,
who did 4:19.8 in a dual meet last
year, and Burns, a Washington,
closely to 4:30 this spring.
However Jacobs believes Lyda
and Lehman could run pretty dec
ent miles, with training. Lyda, the
Big Six 440-yard king, can run
anything from 60 yards through
three miles. As a sophomore train
ing for the Big Six two-mile meet
of 1939, Lyda ran a mile In 4:27
Lehman ran a 10:07 two-mile on
Oklahoma's Big Six championship
team last fall.
