Bfffoy, SepTemb'er T7, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 Bchchwarmcr BY HAROLD ABKAMSON. tDsrfljr Nrsrassaa, Newels MMor). This season the nation's lead ing newspapers and wire services have agreed on new form for football summaries which better fits the new manner of play. The old style was to run the starting 11 names by position with the rival left ends opposite each other and so on through the line up. Names of substitutes were grouped lower "in the summary. The form was retained even though grid routine out -da ted the system. In the new form names of all ends who get into the game will be carried together as will the tackles, guards, centers and backs. No longer will a starter, who may play only a few min utes in the game be given more credit than a fellow who com. tn late, but sees more action. Backs no longer will be broken down into quarters, left halfs, right halfs am fullbacks. Differ ent formations now make the du ties of quarters entirely different. No attempt will be made to sep arate the left tackles from the right tackles because on many teams the players work on both sides during the .game. This year football enthusiasts should see some real old-fashioned football campaigning. The wartime supermen have almost deserted the gridiron and the squads will be younger, faster, and easier for the coaches to handle. The peacetime draft doesn't have coaches too worried. Some of the players are ex-servicemen and many others are enlisted in the active reserves. These boys will not be called for peacetime duty. We'll pick Notre Dame to top Michigan again this year for top ranking in the national football picture. Then we'll pick Michig an, Texas, Southern Methodist, Penn State, Georgia Tech, Cali fornia, Norlh Carolina and Army to complete the top ten. We don't like to pick favorites but Benchwarmer will really stick his neck out to pick these sectional champions: East, Penn State; Midwest, Notre Dame, with Michigan the Big Nine champion; South, North Carolina U.; South east, Georgia Tech; Southwest, Southern Methodist; Big Seven, Missouri; Rocky Mountain, Den ver; Pacific Coast, California. Since every other sports writer in the country is picking All American - teams Benchwarmer can be no different.

Derricote (Michigan), Justice (North Carolina U.), Bill Elliot (Minnesota). From the standpoint of a base ball spectator both Boston clubs may be monopolizing the base ball spotlight in the world series this fall. The Braves hold a five-game advantage over the second place Pirates, while the Red Sox are one and one-half games up on the New York Yankees. With ball players like Williams, currently hitting .377, Pesky, Spence, and Tebbets, the Red Sox are almost sure to increase their game and one-half lead. Men like Torgeson, Elliot, Heath, and Holmes guarantee that the Boston Braves will win the pennant. Here Are Your Winners Expert (?)

Tight Race in Big 7 Predicted According to advance dope, the Big Seven conference will have one of its tightest football races in history. Optimistic reports from the conference schools show many lettermen returning to bol ster weak spots at any position. At Oklahoma Coach Bud Wil kinson has inserted many sopho mores into the starting lineup. The SmrtOT hackfied is composed entirely flf sophs except for Dar rel Royal, veteran halfback. Ok lahoma opens its season Sept. 25 when they travel to California to nwe Santa Clara Missouri again will be near the top of the conference scramble. The Tigers will make use of their fleet backfield in Coach Don Fau rot's version of the "T." Last year's co-champions, Kan sas have ben hurt bv gradua tion and the lure of the pro teams. ' With Ray t-vans, uuo Schnellbacher, Red Hogan, Lynn McNutt, Don Fambrough and others missing, KU may have to be content with a runnerup spot. Iowa State is ready for its opener against Nebraska, Sept. 25 at Lincoln. Twenty-two lettermen havp rpnnrtpd to Coach Abe Stu- ber, and the Iowans will give their opponents busy afternoons. Down at Manhattan, Kas., Coach Ralph Graham sees hope -of breaking the Wildcats' 26-game losing streak, but admits that hop ping out of the cellar will be a tough assignment. Morale is high and the team is willing. Colorado U will make its debut in the Big Seven this year with 18 lettermen on tap. Lack of weight in the backfield is Coach Dallas Ward's biggest headache. With Harry Narcisian and Roland Gregory in the lineup the Buffs have speed aplenty but injuries may hamper them through the season.
