Sports Editor
Here are some sidelights on the
sports staffs weekly football se
lections. After last week's poor record,
the staff came back to hit a col-
ctive percentage of .850. Experts
?k Donavon and Cub Clem were
tops picking ten out of ten win
ning teams. Fritz Simpson picked
nine while Bob Thelps, Lee Harris
and Denchwarmcr hit eight.
Cub Clem moved into first place
while Fritz Simpson is breathing
very hard on the back of Cub
ber' neck. Fritz is only one game
back of Clem.
In answer to a number of quer
ies regarding our policy of pick
ing Nebraska, the staff has com
plete faith that the Huskers will
win their remaining games. We
have decided to go along with
Coach Potsy Clark's "upsetist" at
titude and believe that new day
is coming for the Huskers. So from I
now on it's Nebraska win, lose,
or draw.
College Grid Factories
Moral paralysis has made col
lege football at most institutions
a frankly professional enterprise
in which pi.ycrs are paid for
their service, "football factories"
are deeply involved in staging
commercial entertainment, and
coaches are hired to produce win
ning teams rathe rthan "build
character," The Saturday Evening
Post charges in an editorial "Foot
ball's Dirty Linen Sometimes
Shows."
"College football has grown for
too big for its britches, ' the Post
declares. "No one believes that
we can turn the clock back . . .
but it does seem odd that the very
institutions that are supposed to
instruct our young to teach them
integrity of thought should lend
their names and their resources
to the kind of chicanery that
seems to go with the Saturday
afternoon agitation of a bag of
wind."
Beat Kansas
Sooncrs lo Try
For Grand Slam
Coach Bud Wilkinson's Okla
homa Sooners will try for a
sweep against Southwest confer
ence teams this year when they
move against smartly handled
Texas Christian at 8 p. m. Satur
day bsneath the new lights of the
T.C.U. stadium.
Last year Coach Dutch Meyer's
Froggics, upset the Sooners, 20-7,
at Norman, one of two defeats
suffered by Wilkinson's Big Six
Conference eo-champs. Oklahoma
already has avenged last year's
Texas defeat by shading the
Steers at the Dallas Cotton Bowl,
20-14. But can they handle the
Frogs, tops in poise and coolness
and with a keen brain directing
them on the field?
Chief concern of the Oklahoma
coaches was whether three injured
first stringers, Co-Captain Wade
Walker at right tackle, Center
Pete Tillman, and Linebacker
Myrle Greathouse would be ready
to go Saturday. George Brewer is
out with a broken foot.

NU Sidelights
Things will be different next
year. That was the conclusion of
Jack McCartney, a member of
the University of Nebraska fresh
man football team. Jack played
the 1947 season with Northwest
ern University.
"I am getting hit harder in
these freshman scrimmages than
I was last year with Northwest
ern," the North Platte halfback
declared.
