of the final outcome of the war."

There Is No Place Like ...
Dr. Arthur E. 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.

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. The out-

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
