I Wednesday, September 23, 1942. DAILY NEBRASKAN 1 ? I i .'05 By Norrie Anderson ) (Sports Editor) S Time has arrived, as the walrus says, for the nation's various grid iron "experts" to expound, dis sertate, and in short "blow up" prospects over the country. Most accurate grid magazine of the lot is the Norman Sper publi cation, replete with individual game statistics. Prof. Sper delves thoroly into the mechanism of the current Husker machine, then sums it up with: "The fight for second place hon ors in the Big Six conference will be between Nebraska and Okla homa with the Cornhuskcrs edg ing the Sooners out of the place spot. At center, right tackle, and fullback, no experienced player is available. Last years squad showed a deficiency in defending against forward passes and their rushing defense could be improved. With a predominately junior squad Ne braska should field a better team this year and hang on to place honors behind Missouri." Pictorial yearbook and the foot ball annual, more gaudy an nals of gTidom, both anticipate a comeback for the Huskers. Our Fred Ware in the Annual hints at a potential firewagon: "There's the meat and muscle here for a team of typical Nebraska style and standard, and these boys may travel faster and higher than com parative specifications now would indicate. Wilton Hazzard's description of Vic S.Hleich, star Husker tackle, in the Annual hkmwmim is torrid. Ac cording to Haz zard, Vic is "oak legged, cask torsoed, and kewpie-fac-ed." Dale Brad ley "lengthens his tireless pis tons to their full stroke, which shoots them high, at Freshman footballers with Coach "Bill" Pfeiff at the helm charting the coarse, will swing into their first official practice session Friday afternoon after a preliminary meeting and physical examinations Thursday. Freshman training quarters are located in the east end of the new Field House with the 142 can didates slated to go through their paces on the frosh field northeast of the Field House. Football suits will be issued to all newscomers all day, Friday, at the showing of an identification card. Sideline Slants . . Anticipating Iowa's heavy aerial threat, Maestro Glenn Presnell devoted a majority of yesterday's drill to defending against aerials. Presnell had every Husker marksman on the firing line, flagging the ball out to the ends. Particularly ejecessful among the Husker backs were Howard Debus, Roy Long and Dick Thompc:-. Diminutive Dick Thompson whipped the ball out with vengence, hitting nearly 50 percent of his tar gets. Varsity pivot, Forrie Back man again favored his chipped elbow and viewed the proceed ings from the sidelines. 1 ' I Swi r i 3" Mi most against ggjSSt 1 Oi - '' his plow-share j V jaw" while Al kJimniM J Z i k m u n d is victor schloch "Antelope geared." Vic also performed such miscel laneous tasks as "making rubble of entire segments of defenses" and "arriving in the opposing backfield ahead of the ball." These Huskers are a super race! In serene definance of rubber rationing, the old Husker rubber man Herman Rohrig beamed at Corn Cobs Meet Tonight All Corn Cobs will meet tonight at 7:30 in room 313 of the Stu dent Union building. Franklin White, president of the organiza tion, stresses its importance and asks all members to be on hand. Juke Dance at 5 The first matinee dance of the year will be held in the Union ball room this afternoon at 5 p. m. The music will be furnished by the nickleodeon. the Husker workout yesterday from a kibitzer setting. Ccrman Herman was trimly clad in his aviation cadet uniform, which emphasized army condition ing. Hermie claimed he is down to 180, 15 pounds lighter than his Cornhusker days. "Haven't seen much actual army work yet, tho," grinned Herm, "Been too busy playing football." He played against his old Husker cohort, Harry Hopp, in the recent Army-Detroit Lion fracas. "Boy those kids are big" said the for mer All-Big Six halfback, with eyes on Sehleich and Eisenhart, "I'd almost be afraid to mix with 'em." .. tv-r! sJ Ik if B &m off Freshmen are urged by Head man "Bill" Pfeiff, Freshman coach to consult the athletic department on any of their university prob lems. Pfeiff also stated the ad mittance to Nebraska varsity foot ball games is based on weekly attendance. If a player is out four times his name will be on the pass gate list or he will be given a ticket. Freshman footballers are also banned from competition in the intramural league. Doctors Available.

Hitting two stationary dummies with crushing blocks, I did more zag-zigging. I dived into the tack ling dummy and as I crawled away the canvas bag remarked, "And they call me a dummy."

The gridiron candidates that I had watched always run on the length of the field and into the fieldhouse. However, I was carried from that spot to the student in firmary by a tackle and a full back.
