Friday, December 17, 1948 (BsUKllWtVWWL BY HAROLD AE RAMS ON SporU Uliw Clair Bee ,a leading basketball coach, didn't stay in his own back yard when asked to forecast this sonson's Ail-American team. The Long Island university mentor, writing in a current sports magazine issued the fol lowing predictions: First Team: Kevin O'Shea, No tre Dame, forward; Tony Lavelli, Yale, forword; Ed McCauley, St. Louis, center; Vince Boryla, Den ver, guard; Ralph Beard, Ken tucky, ruard. Second Team: Dike Eddleman, Illinois; Bob Cousy, Holy Cross; Jim Mclntyre, Minnesota: Alex Gsoza, Kentucky; Slater Martin, Texas. Coach Potsy Clark's statement left a lot of room for speculation as to who and when a new coach is to be named. As to when, that is a question which can only be answered by Potsy himself and he hasn't been doing muc htalk ing lately. Except that is, at offi cial banquet functions. Who seems to be the biggest word in the dictionary right now. Husker fans have narrowed the coaching prospects down to three or four and are pulling for Paul Brown. Why they think it is Paul Brown seems to be a mystery. We think Potsy will come up with somebody that is least sus pected. Whoever the high moguls pick let's hope he'll get plenty of co-operation from all the univer sity fans. We are still of the opinion that if and when a new coach is picked he will not be any ciracle man. It will still take time to re build the once mighty Cornhusk er grid machine and will take all the ocoperation of everyone con cerned. Students here at the university can do just as much in helping this process by talking up the uni vcrsily w hen they are at home. j It will take time but Nebraskans ' have always been noted for their optimistic viewpoints. Frosh Tankers 1 Test Varsity ' Coach Hollie Lepley's frosh swimmers will test the varsity mermen in a pro-season warmup in the Coliseum pool Thursday night. The Comhuskcr swim coach realizes the two week Christmas acalion period is approaching and the U. of N. splash master is hastening to hold dress rehcrsal for his varsity tankers before the holiday spirit takes over. Heading the frosh contingent is Paul Gootz, Omaha, intramural record holder in the 220 yard free style and 150 yard backstroke. Classified I1ST Fi It-Hthrr .i!l!, nh iir.fmri.nl i.n-nl.licMM.n.

The date of his resignation co incided with the end of his con tract. Meanwhile Athletic Director George "Potsy" Clark issued a statement. He said. "To clear the ciecks for the advent of a new coach, when one is signed, we are not renewing contracts now in force." Claik's statement blasted previ ous rumors and made wide open expectations as to who the next Cornhusker football coach might be. Those who have been named most recently to take over the football coaching reins from Clark 1 are Paul Brown. Ray Elliot, Abe 1 Stuber. Bert LaBrucherie and George S;.uer. j Russell is 36 years old, married, I and the father of a nine-year-old i sen. He previously was an as sistai.t coach at Kansas State in , 1946.

The graduating letter men are: Alex Cochrane, Scottsbluff; Jack Hazen, Omaha, ends; Darwin Salestrom, St. Edward, and John Sedlacek, Sewards, guards; Bob Costello, Lincoln, center; and Frank Collopy, Scottsbluff, Dick Hutton, Auburn; Gerald Moore. Walthill, and Clctus Fischer, St. Edwards, backs. Backfield Toll Of these nine, only Fischer, Collopy and Costtllo were con sistent staiters, leaving almost a complete team returning for the 1949 season. The most serious toll will be taken in the backfield, with the loss of such fine all around backs as Cletus Fischer, Frank Collopy, and Dick Hutton. Fischer, who won his fourth letter this year, has always been a threat to Husker opponents. During his four years of competi tion, he has been chosen on sev eral All-Big Six teams in spite of the injuries that have plagued him. Frank Collopy, alte. mating at almost any position in the back- ! field, lettered in 1944-46-47-48. He has been a standout in every phase of the game, defensively : and offensively. Hutton Gone Third key back to be lost is Dick Hutton, three year letter man, the fastest man on the Husker roster. The Auburn speed boy had his greatest year as a sophomore in 1946, and was chosen on the All-Big Six team. His return to foim in the latter part of the 1948 season was one of the bright spots of a dismal ear. Returning lettermen: Ralph Damkroger, Mike DiBiase. Gerald Ferguson, Ken Fischer, Howard Fletcher, Jim Godfrey, Richard Googlein, Fred Golan, Fred Hawkins, Bob Lipps, Ray Magsa mon, Arden Means. Bill Mueller, Robert Mullen, Tom Novak, Herb Reese. Don Sailors, Bob Schneider, Charley Toogood, Del Weigand and Phil Young. NOTE SHEETS Decorated In formals for use ful Christmas Gifts, 50c to $1. Goldenrod Stationery Store tli No. I4t.

Take On Cincy Saturday Night Coach Harry Good's basketball squad start their road play to night at Lafayette, Ind., where they meet Purdue's Boilermakers. The Scarlet cagers take on Cin cinnati Saturday night to fill their week end schedule. Good indicated that he would start the same five he has started in the last three games. That means Henry Cech, Bob Cerv, Joe Malecek, Claude Retherford and Bus Whitehead will be on trie floor when the fun begins at Pur due tonight. The squad moved to Iafayette this morning after spending the night in Chicago. Good hopes to hold one more workout before game time on the Boilermaker court. Purdue is undefeated in first three starts with wins over De troit, Marquette and Kansas. Saturday's tilt with Cincinnati will put the Huskers in the under dog role. The Cincinnati squad led by Ralph Richter is rated as one of the top teams in the midwest. Purdue's Boilermakers will floor a strong team which lists nine returning lettermen. Bill Banks, 5-10 guard, is the only player on the squad under six feet. Other Purdue returnees are Rich Axmess. 6-3 forward; Bill Berberian, 6-0 guard; Andy Butchko, 6-4 center; Bill Butter field, 6-5 center; Norris Caudell, 6-3 forward; Julius Ritter, 6-3 center; Ralph Theissen, 6-3 guard; Howard Williams 6-0 guard.
