Charlie Miller Revives
Gym Sport for Scarlet
BV DOC RINGLER
Tull up o chair next to Charlie
Miller sometime and let him tell
you about the gymnastic enter
prise he directs at Nebraska U.
Gymnastics, to the muscular, dark
haired Miller, is simply a hobby.
Right now, however, he's groom
ing his charges for another year
of competition, and that's no small
job.
"It takes endless hours of
daily practice to develop the
grace and poise needed in this
particular sport," Coach Mil
ler remarked, "Just look at the
length of time the boys put in
for a comparatively short season.
They start working; out in Sep
tember and are still hard at
work when school closes in
June. Even then you cannot
say that anyone attains perfect
form."
Conch Miller is not only inter
ested in turning out a winning
team, but puts definite emphasis
in the confidence, friendship, and
sportsmanship they should gain
from this sport.
War Intrrupts.
Coach Miller had just begun to
put the Nebraska gymnastic team
im the map when the war struck.
He will again start from scratch,
with all the present material being
green and with little or no pre
vious experience. It will take time
to build the team up to pre-war
standings, but you can bet your
bottom dollar it will be done. Mil
ler was a captain in the Army
Air Corps and received his dis
charge in February, 1946. Ne
braska has had no gymnastic team
since the 1941-42 season and Mil
ler is once more faced with the
task of rebuilding his team.
Let's turn back a few pages and
look at what Miller has accomp
lished during the past years.
Miller started his "dream"
back in the winter of 1935. He
received no pay for his long:
hours of tutoring: and all ath
letes that competed bourht their
r;
Courtesy Lincoln Journal.
own uniforms and equipment
besides paying for their own
transportation.
Gradually, Nebraska's depart
ment of athletics began to take
an interest in the sport. Mainly
because of the efforts of Major
"Biff" Jones, former director of
athletics, gymnastics now has a
spot on the athletic budget.
Only Loop Team
Miller has given Nebraska the
only gym team in the Big Six
Conference. In overall competi
tion the Huskers have won 27
meets while losing 20. This in
cludes the six Rocky Mountain
A. A. U. titles the Huskers have
captured.
Miller's main problem so far
has been to find athletes with
previous experience. This has been
difficult to do because few schools
in the state offer the sport in their
athletic programs. This problem
has been worked on before the
war and has been resumed again
this year.

Championship
In the final freshman football
game of the season, undefeated
Yale captured the league cham
pionship with a hard fought 7-0
victory over a stubborn Princeton
eleven.
The contest was another exam
ple of one team completely domi
nating the play during the first
half and then relinquishing the
spotlight to their opponents the
last two quarters.
Beckwith Stars.
In the second quarter Ralph
Beckwith, flashy Albion halfback,
broke loose and ran to the 2-yard
line where he stumbled and fell,
short of a touchdown. It was only
a matter of seconds, however, un
til Yale had a touchdown, for
Beckwith circled his own right
end and scored standing up. He
also booted the extra point to
complete the day's scoring.
The second half was a differ
ent story as Princeton outplayed
Yale the entire 24 minutes. AI-
