Nubbins Set
For Kansans
Friday Nigbt
Nebraska's Nubbins Friday will
journey to Ft Riley, Kansas,
where they will initiate their ab
breviated two game schedule un
der the lights Friday evening
against the much publicised Can-tours.
Thus far this year the Husker
a squad has for the most part
delegated most of their time to
ward executing Indiana, Minne
sota and Notre Dame plays against
the Varsity. It has only been in
the last six or seven days that
Coach Ray DeBolt has had the
chance to send his charges through
some of their own offensive for
mations. Defensively the Nubbins
have proven themselves capable
of staunch play and should look
good. As for the offense, Detsolt
has such sprint stars as Harry
Meginnis and Chuck Peterson,
who may come through when
called upon, and with the shift
of fullback Ben Munson to the
right half position the Nebraska
backfield will contain both speed
and power. Most of the offense
will come on the ground as far
as the Huskers are concerned as
most of the time spent has gone
to polishing power plays.
Thirty-three Man Squad.
Carrying thirty-three men on
the traveling squad which will
leave Friday noon and arrive in
Ft. Riley at four the same after
noon Coach DeBolt expects to use
three full teams against the Can
tours. The starting lineup will include
Harlen Powley and Sophus Lar
son at ends, Oscar Mussman and
Bob Harrington at guard, William
Kimball and Ken Ackerman at
tackle and Hubert Unger at cen
ter. In the backfield, Rus Hale
will take over the quarterback
chares, while Harry Meginnis and
Munson fill in at the halfback
posts with Dean DaMoude get
ting the nod at full. The first
team line averages 192 while the
' backfield scales 177 per man.
Others slated to see a lot of
action at Lou Kempkes at tackle,
Harry Fox, at end and Jim Peters
at the left half spot.
No word has come from Ft.
Riley as to the strength of their
team since the reports that Glen
Davis, Chuck Fusion, and John
West were to play for them. These
three great West Point Ail-Americans
would indeed give the Husk
ers plenty to aim at Friday night
if they play. However, Davis is
reported out of action with a
bad knee leaving Fusion and West
as possible opposition for the Nubbins.

The boys who play for pay, says Stanley Frank, are often thrown
for a loss by the tiniest personal crises. They develop more complexes
than any psych major ever heard of. But Red Smith, the New York
Giants' line coach, knows how to baby the bruisers . . . and make 'em
outdo even Frank Merriwell himself when it comes to the old college
try. Don't miss the amusing article in this week's Post about th
fellow who is pro football's one-man court of human relations.
