Westbrook, director of the University of Nebraska school of music, is also an ardent sport follower. Cornhusker sports in all divisions have a sturdy follower in Dr. Westbrook. He can tell you who won the Big Six foot ball championship in 1940 or who that left halfback was for Missouri in 1941. Dr. Westbrook now informs us that the splendid Corn- husker band, one of the best in the nation, may not perform again until after the war. Don Lentz's musicians were slated to perform for the spring military parade, but now the R0TC activation has forced cancellation of that affair. We neved realized the mettle of the Husker band until the Rose Bowl game. When those Scarlet bandsmen strode onto that sunny Pasadena turf to accompaniment of a tremen dous ovation from the stands, a tingle of pride went down the spine of every Nebraskan present. 'When I saw that band, I became a Cornhusker all over again," remarked Ray Richards, former UN gridder and pres ent line coach at UCLA. Chili Armstrong, frosh grid and cage tuor, is recipent of recent letter from Lt. Col. Harold Petz, former member of the University athletic staff. Lt. Col. Petz is now stationed in Africa, "where things are really happening." He reports a pleasant voyage across and recently acquired a lamp for his tent. Compared to the way these natives live, we live like kings, wrote Petz. We dropped in with Bob Dcindorfer, sports head of the Columbia Missourian, to chat with Sec Taylor, amiable sports maestro of the Des Moines Register, Saturday morning. See's two boys, both under 20, in the service provide bis main source of conversation. "My oldest boy wrote me today about a new way of play ing golf," grinned Sec, glancing at a letter. "The boys use hand grenades and fly over the holes. If they dump the bombs on the hole, it counts as a hole in one. Maybe this type of sport would do away with some of those Sunday golfers," Starter for the runners at the College View-Teachers prep meet Tuesday afternoon on the Stadium cinders was the honor able Victor Schleich. Armed with an 13th century pistol, all that can be mus tered in these war times, big Vig used enough ammunition to sponsor a McArthnr exhibition. nCMSSIFIED ! Sna P dajr. IWJ Payable la Mruw Uy.

Note to Huskers Iowa State Closes Football AMES, Iowa, April 27 Spring football has run its usual one month course at Iowa State but has generated more enthusiasm than in many years in spite of the uncertainties of college sports programs in war time. The enthusiasm was not pro duced by prospects of a great football team, either.

Great Style no more than look for fair even There was a lot more concen tration on football than we had expected," said Mike Michalske, Cyclone football coach. "With the war upper most in every mind we didn't expect a large turnout and we were certain that many of the boys would lose interest. And what happens? The longer the season went on the more men re ported. All the players were con scientious about it, too. Of the 45 men on our list only two failed to report regularly, and one of those left school for the army. Probably the biggest boost Cy clone football got during the spring came when Meredith War ner, former Des Moines high school star, reported. Michalske and his staff rated Warner as an offensive football player of No. I caliber, a back "who can really scamper." The top linemen were Bob Broms of Estherville and Don 8ie bold of Ackley. Broms was ranked better than any center the varsity had last fall while Siebold showed so much improvement that the staff feels he will finally achieve the stardom so long predicted for him. Of the 43 men reporting at the end of the season Michalske may have as many as 17 or as few as II available for next fall
