There were very few books at the Curtis Institute of Block and Tackle, but there were many long, hard hours of classroom work. The clossroom the Curtis football field the teachers, the varsity football coaches headed by Coach Glassford. The team, according to reports received from the training grounds, has come a long way since last fall; but Glassford still is not satisfied. Nine football games are slated for the 1950 C 'huskers. Indiana University, sparked by one of the best aerial attacks in the Big Ten, invades Memorial stadium September 30 to open the 1950 season for Nebraska. A week later the Huskers are off for Minneapolis, meeting the Coach Bernie Bierman's Golden Gophers. Minnesota has always been one of the nation's power houses and it looks like the Paul Bunyons will be living up to their past reputat -n. The Indiana Hoosiers have been tabbed by Big Ten sports writers to be one of the chal lengers for the coveted crown. After their disappointing season last year which found them with only one victory in nine games, the "Fighting Hoosiers" are after a better year. Pennant Races Are Beginning to Show Who is going to win the Amer ican league pennant? Will it be Detroit, New York or Boston the three teams with the greatest possibility of earn ing their ticket to the World Series or will Cleveland break loose from their present losing streak? Those are the paramount ques tions facing the baseball world today. Detroit has the schedule with them, but the Sox and the Yanks are currently riding a heavy winstreak. Odds-makers have gven De troit a slight edge over the Yanks and Sox, but a couple of loses in a row for any one of the teams could mean the title.

Marwin Anderson, 6-1, 210 from Shenandoah, la., who was an Iowa All-Stater in 1948, and Dick Hartnett 6-1, 255 from Sioux City, la., are making strong bids for the guard positions. Jim Oliver, Shelton; James Brown, Steubenville, Ohio; Grant Whitney, Ainsworfh, and Bud Praetor, Humboldt, are outstand ing centers. Freshman Coach Ike Hanscom is optimistic about the backfield material. "The backs are the tallest and fastest we've had at Nebraska in recent years," he said Kay Novak, husky Omaha Tech triple threater, leads the quar ter becks. Novak stands 6-1, and weighs 193. Pushing the Omaha luminary is Tom Carodine, former Boys Town speedster; Dick Anderson, Fairbury, and John Bordogna, Turtle Creek, Pa. "Halfbacks To Spare" "We have halfbacks to spare," Coach Hanscom said. "Some of them will be shifted into the line to add depth there." Leading the halfback brigade are Ladd Cochrane. Scottsbluff; Duane Gay, Beatrice; George Gohde, Lincoln High; Bill Scha backer, Minden; Jim TangedalL Superior, and Dick Westin, Omaha Benson. The size and speed of the frosh fullbacks is something to watch. Don (Big Don) Vogt 6-2. 216 pound line cracker from Water town, S. D is one of the great prospects.

As Indiana pounds Into it.; second week of prei season rrrctice the evidence points tbwaru the Hoosiers of 1950 being pretty fair hands at snatching a football out of the air. In 194P ' disappointing season of one victory in nine games, the Hoosiers still managed to com plete 75 passes in 171 attempts, good for 1,081 yards and seven touchdownsi' '.- Out of the nine players' who ,4 if& shared in the 75 completions, seven have returned and they accounted for 68 of them, a to tal of 1148 yards and all seven touchdowns. The other seven completions by non-returning players were short-gainers and totaled only 33 yards. Leading the pack, of course, is Clifton (Doc) Anderson, Cape May, N. junior, who establi shed a new Big Ten record with 21 catches in his sophomore season. Anderson logged an In diana record of 28 completions for 458 yards over the season. On the other flank, Hugh Cra ton, senior from Vincennes, gathered in 13 tosses for 209 yands, while versatile Bobby Robertson, the South Bend half back who led the Conference in punting last season, caught 15 good for 180 yards. Of the other returning players, Halfback Jim Gomory caught four for 81 yards; Halfback Al Tutsie, four for 54; Halfback Mickey Marshall, three for 55, and Fullback Arnold Bowman, one. In addition to those glue-fingered returnees. Sophomore Ends Bob Inserra, Monongahela, Pa., and Jerry Anderson, Grand Ra pids, Minn., rate a high opinion from coaches on their possibili ties. Halfback Eugene (Pat) Ged man, a sophomore of promise from Duquesne, Pa., falls in the same category as a potentially good receiver. The hitch comes in the origi nating portion of the air attack, j All but three of last years 7: successful tosses ' were thrown by Nick Sebek, a 1950 gradua tion loss. Whether the all-sophomore quarterback staff paced by Lou D'Achille, of Beaver Falls, Pa., Ray Petrauskas and John Zuger. both of Homestead, Pa., can do as well remains to be seen. Coaches are hopeful that an ex pected improvement in the Indi ana running attack might make the passing equal to, if not ex ceeding, that of last year. In a pinch, Eo'ert son and Tut sie could handle a share of the throwing. Courtefy ol Lincoln Journal.
