Rumor department ... No soon
er had Bert LaBrucherie resigned
than rumors came out telling of
the Uclan eoaeh accepting an of
fer from "Dear Old Nebraska U."
Rumors still persist about Coach
Paul Brown. The mere mention
of the former Cleveland Ram pro
fessional coach seems to put a
wild eyed gleam in the eyes of
most Husker grid fans.
Other prospects mentioned in
the rumor department are Hrry
Stuhldreher, former roach at Wis
consin and now athletic director
at that school. Stuhldreher, who
was one of the famous Four
Horsemen, didn't fare too well in
the won-lost denartn ejit either.
Another who has heen mentioned
is Ray Elliot, University of Il
linois. Paul Brown might very well
fke over at UCLA as he has
been quoted as wanting to coach
on the west coast.
One of the earlier rumors hit
this department in early October
when Des Moines, la., writers
wrote that Iowa State's Abe Stu
ber would be on hand in Lincoln
in 1949 to assume the duties of
head football coach.
Whatever comes of all these ru
mors we're rot going to lose any
sleep over them. Let's just sit
back and watch what happens
because that is all we can do.
Marv Grimm, holder of the Big
Seven conference sprint cham
pionship, thinks conference swim
mine is roinff to be very tisht
this year. Marv who is enjojinit
his third year on the Husker swim
team this year sees Iowa State
ending up with the title.
The Cyclones have Roger Watts
who qualilied seventh in the
Olympic 1500 meters race. Also
listed on the Iowa State team is
Ed LaBerge. sophomore sprinter
who will probably give Grimm a
rough time in the struggle for the
sprint title.

Lepley Preps
Splash Squad
Hollie Lepley, U of N swim
ming coach, is prepping his
varsity swim crew for the forth
coming season. Lepley's splash
ers have been going thru their
paces daily since mid-November
in the Coliseum pool.
Lepley who is moaning over
the lack of depth and over all
team strength says he will build
his swim squad around six re
turning lettermen.
Bill Genton in the backstroke,
Jack Campbell in the backstroke
and freestyle sprints, Conrad
King, breast stroke veteran,
Gould "Fig" Flagg, last year's
conference runner-up in diving
and Perry Branch and Marv
Grimm in the freestyle sprints.
Grimm has headed Lepley's
splashers copping the conference
titles in the 50 and 100 yard
freestyle events for two succes
sive years.
"We may use Grimm in the
Husker Cagers Outpoint
Opposition in Three Tilts
Coach Harry Good's Cornhusker
basketball team have outscored
their first three opponents 1T4 to
152 points in the first month of
basketball.
Claude Retherford, flashy for
ward, still leads Nebraska scorers
with 35 points. Retherford is be-
Lepley said. Marv is a junior
and has an additional year of
competition left as does Jack
Campbell.
Branch, Flagg, King and Fen
ton are seniors' and will be
splashing for the scarlet their
last year.
Coach Lepley will also draw
from last year's promising fresh
man squad. Those who look good
are Ed Craren, diving; Ted Kana
mine, freestyle sprints: Bill
Greer and Bob Phelps breast
stroke and George Hill middle
is being planned after Christmas. I middle distance some this year," I distance.
