Wednesday, September 22, T943 DAILY NEBRASKAN 3 SsmxJv By Larry Wentz Perhaps the best way for me to oxpiaiu the title of this article and to introduce myself to you, dear reader, would be to tell you what Coach l;0vaudovslu said to me at the training table last Saturday evening, lie said, "Wentz, until you get back up to the ninth team you will have to stop eating at the training table.. We have to draw the line somewhere and you're it." Now you know why the title. (Dr. Deepen, university physician, says 1 have a" bad knee. That's my story and I'll stick to it.) Reds Nudge Whites.

Ragged Display. Substituting frequently. Coach Ad Lewandowski tossed his entire player roster into the fray in an attempt to locate a smooth tunc tioning combination. However, after substitutions had weakened the A combination, the scoring punch was weakened and sub sprinkled elevens battled score- icssly the rest of the way. The boys looked good consider ing the facts. Three men out of about 50 have had experience in college football; the average weight per man is 170 pounds and the average height is five feet nine. However, the squad aver age doesn't mean much when one considers Harry Haitt. Lincoln, weighing 120, and Bob Hinz, Cen tral City, 279. Starting lineups for last Satur day's scrimmage: rn.

Start of practice here September 1 marked the 49th consecutive season Okla homa has put a football team in the field. Never has war caused an abandonment of the sport at Norman. Sooner teams composed of young campus trainees carried on in both 1917 end 1918 of the last war, finishing all-victorious the latter season with practically an all-freshman team. In fact, a comparison of the 1942 and 1943 Oklahoma squads discloses that the average Sooner player this year is 12.4 pounds lighter, an inch and one-half shorter and 1.5 years younger than the average last season. It's the greenest Oklahoma football squad since 1918. 1..T. I..G. '. R.O. R.T. U.K. U.K. I.. II. K.H. '.B. Heads of Cornlmsker Squad i V J ill i -wm i f ; X r n V 'MUM f I V f i 1 1 4 s4 Monday afternoon showed the outcome of Saturday's game. The shuffle in the A squad included Salisbury shifted to center posi tion in place of Hinz, and 279 pound Hinz from Central City was moved to right guard on the B team. Hansen took over Salis bury's position at fullback. On the B unit for last Monday R. Lock, Lincoln, played left tackle, Miller was shifted from quarterback to halfback and Rooney took over right half. Art Means, Lincoln All State guard, is now holding down a berth on the B team at left guard. As far as I know Means is still in Nevada where he went to accept a schol arship to play football. The way I understand it Nevada only has three games this year so Means decided to come home. A certain young gent from Mc Cook that ought to warm the coaches' hearts is Chuck Smith, now playing center on the B team. From what I have seen of him I would say that he can throw that 6 ft. 1 in. 200 pound frame of his around with the greatest agility. Two boys on the A team that help keep a steady line on things are the guards Hazard and Jacup ke. Good on both offensive and de fensive work, and those two men will be a mainstay in that for ward wall when the going gets tough. Center Salisbury will add to the steadiness of that line and then when you remember that Bert Gissler is over there at left end you can be sure that the first forward wall is under control. Courtesy Lincoln Join rial. Art Stark, left; Lew Lewandowski, center, and Ed Weir, right, head the 1943 Cornhusker football squad. Stark handles the backs; Lew andowski is head man and end coach; and Weir returns to coach ing the line. "Last Man Off Wake Island" is the only record we have of the valiant two weeks on Wake Is land. LL Col. Bayler was the only marine to escape death or capture at Wake Island, the only marine who fought there and at Midway and Guadalcanal. In this short account he tells of the early days of the war on Wake and Milway and in the "black gumbo mud" of Guadalcanal. mm Ut3 KD - 02j Corniihuskeirs We Have Carloads of Used Books to Save You Money eve up to 50 on Uses!
