Wide Mileage
Members of the University of
Nebraska athletic staff are con
vinced that the state of Nebraska
is as large as the stale of Texas.
They obtained this impression
in 1947 after traveling 36,338
miles, or one and one-half times
around the world, otaff members
visited 88 towns to show football
and basketball movies and speak
at various athletic dinners.
This mileage total does not in
clude a thorough coverage of high
school basketball tournaments last
spring when the staff fanned out
over the state to watch the prep
teams in action and to meet the
athletes.
These 36,338 miles were cov
ered in eight months from Jan
uary to May and from October
to December. Of all the dates ac
cepted, only twice did weather
stop the safaris, once at Ham
burg, la., and another at Sid
ney, Neb.
In 1948 the athletic staff has
covered a total of 4,454 miles from
January 1 until March 5, appear
ing in 16 towns. . I

UA fair shake for every fresh
man reporting for football."
That has been Coach George
"Potsy" Clark's aim since he
took over the duties of head foot
ball coach and athletic director at
the University of Nebraska.
In addition to an enlarged
freshman coaching staff, Coach
Clark had 50,000 square feet of
the practice field where the fresh
men work out sodded this sum
mer. More Individual Attention.
"The first year men are not
only entitled to more individual
attention but a decent place upon
which to hold their workouts," he
added.
The varsity used the freshman
field, which lies between the Field
House and the Coliseum, this
spring. Players were sometimes
hardly discernible due to the
clouds of dust.
L. F. "Pop" Klein, a veteran of
over 25 years of coaching, will
head the enlarged freshman
coaching staff. The other coaches
will be H. H. "Ike" Hanscom,
coach at Scottsbluff high the past
three years: Harry J. Miller, coach
at Cambridge, Neb., high last fall,
and Neal Parsons, assistant coach
at Nebraska Wesleyan a year ago.
Pop came to the university in
1945 from Kearney State Teach
ers college where he turned out
winning clubs in all sports for ten
seasons. Prior to that time he
was coach at Crete high, where
his teams were outstanding.
Versed in Clark Style.
The frosh football boss is well
versed in Potsy Clark's style of
play, having served under him
during the 1945 season.
Hanscom, besides coaching at
Scottsbluff, has coached at Mona
hans, Texas, Flandreau, S. D.,
and Deadwood, S. D., for a total of
20 years.
Miller will assist with the
freshman duties while completing
work for a masters degree. Par
sons coached at Rulo, Barneston,
Chester and Wahoo before serving
at Wesleyan.
All frosh candidates will begin
practice sessions the first day of
classes, September 16 at 4 p. m.
Physical examinations will be
given on Wednesday, September
