it is quite impossible for these fingers to type out a diagnosis for
a winning football team, but it does impress me, after my few
years of observation, that an essential characteristic of a winning
eleven is its desire to play football.
Some sihletes are born with this inherent characteristic and
desire for body contact and live for the fall months when they can
match their grit, prowess and football finesse against opposition
spurned by similar traits. :
Such an athlete is George Gohde. George is a handsome sophomore
at the University of Nebraska whose desire to play football deserves ber g
special praise auring ue pieseui unuiuaMi woms oncan..

Iowa State Swimmers Placed On The
1951 Ail-American Swimming Team
. Led by Bob Brown, sprinter,
Iowa State placed four men on
the 1951 all-Amencan swimming
team, Coach Jack McGuire an
nounced today.
In addition four other all-Amer-icans
are on the 1952 squad.
Brown won places in both the
50 and 100 yard free style relay
team which rated sixth in the na
tion. Other members of the Ail
American relay team were Ed
LaBerge; Russ Thomas, and Mai
Schmidt.
Brown set the 60-yard free
style record for the NCAA with
a mark of :Z7.3 while nis :su.?
time for the 100 is also a na
tional mark. Lee Anderson is
listed as the record holder for
the 200-yard back stroke with a
mark of 2:17.5. All three records
are for the 60-foot pool.
Mike LeM.iir and John Kruse,
both teammates at. Roosevelt of
... ..S,.-.,V!"-
Des Moines, and Dale Lucas of
North Des Moines, also made the
interscholastic ail-American team.
LeMair is a breast stroke man,
Kruse a sprinter, and Lucas earned
his place in the individual meaiey.
Kruse was also a member of the
Roosevelt sprint relay team. Kruse
and LeMair were two-thirds of
the nation's top medley relay
team.
Bob Best, a member of the 1951
Fullerton, Cal., junior college team
had three firsts and a second in
his All-American junior college
listings. He also set the national
junior college record of 1:03 for
the 100-yard breast stroke in 75
foot pools. Best, who is a transfer
student at Iowa State and not
eligible this fall, was No. 1 in both
the 100 and 200 yard breast stroke
events and a member of the Ful
lerton medley relay team which
was No. 1. He placed second in
the 150-yard individual medley.

record set by Howard Tippee in
1943 against Iowa Pre-flight.
' Mann leads the Big Seven
conference in passing with 63
completions in 131 tosses good
for 853 yards.
In Mai Schmidt, the Cyclones
also boast the conference's lead
ing pass receiver as he holds a
slight edge over Nebraska's Si
mon. However, Schmidt may be
called upon to go both ways
against the Cornhuskers, as ends
Bob Voefberg and Bob Rohwed
der are on the doubtful list due to
injuries. Schmidt has caught 20
passes for 331 yards thus far in
the campaign.
The Iowa State passing coupled
with a substantial ground offen
sive gives Glassford plenty of
reason for worry over the Husker
defense. A thorough workout for
the defensive platoon was given
the Huskers last night with more
slated for later in the week. In
dividual scrimmaging shared the
practice hours with the defensive
work.
Meanwhile, Business Manager
A. J. Lewandowski announced
that there are still bleacher seats
remaining for both the Colorado
and Oklahoma games. However,
the Oklahoma . supply is rapidly
dwindling.

squad for two years, capturing all-state prep honors in his senior
George's abilities also served him ' in baseball and basketball
as well as in the field of scholarship. He .was graduated from high
school with numerous athletic laurels and George was being boomed
for collegiate football.

George was one of the. finest trainers." George wasn't planning to
play on his press clippings.
George had a good year with the Nebraska frosh team that year
playing defensive halfback. He was a good pass defender and a
sharp tackier, fitting in well with Hanscom's freshman team plans.
The scene switcnes and it Is one year iater. After spending a
summer of hard labor to stay in shape, we see George accompany

VHead tutor, Bill Glassford, worked George at a new position,

ability to start quickly and get his assignments done.

Today, Coach Ike Hanscom will tell you that "George Is as well

'in bur way of thinking, George Gohde should serve as a symbol of

on the varsity football team who have lost all spirit and have taken
an "I don't give a damn attitude."
There are men who were not in possession of this football desire
we speak of; men in the same situation as George Gohde who quit
the game or went off to play for other schools. That's why you'll
not see names like Gasson, Anderson and Hoppens on any jNeorasKa
football grid roster.
To men like Levendusky. Sommers, Westih, Dale, Goll, and Tang-
dall whose spirits have likewise been undented for lending their serv
ices for B team games, is their much deserved credit due.
It wasn't too long ago that a pudgy 155 pound guard from Kimball
was wasting away his talent on the Nebraska Nubbins team. His
determination, desire and guts, landed him a starting berth of the
1950 scarlet team.
After his final year, Don Strasheim was awarded a place on the
all-conference football team and will go down in Nebraska
annuals as one of the finest lineman.
Let the Strasheim spirit guide you men and let us all hope that
the members of, for the most, part, an uninspired football team
arise and overcome a weakness 'that can claim a parade of opposi
tions touchdowns this fall.

Kappa Alpha Theta's number
one team made the highest num
ber of points so far recorded in
the girls volleyball tournament.
It will be difficult for any other
team to equal the Theta 76-11
win over the Kappa number three
team. Ginny Noble was server
while 46 of the Theta's 76 points
were made. Looking at the Theta
scoring against the Kappas the
Thetas will be one of the con
tenders for the intramural volley'
ball champions.
The scoring of the other Mon
day games was not quite so
spectacular. Alpha Xi Delta de
feated Chi Omega number

As a result the touchback's 2
points were the winning points of
the game.
Outstanding for the Phi Delts
were Steve McKenzie and Jim
Munger, who played outstanding
game at offense for his squad.
For the defeated team It was
Mac Bailey, Bill Weber, and Gene
Cotter, who tried their best to
push the ball over the double
stripes.
The ATOs did have two scor
ing opportunities in the came,
but the hard fighting defensive
Phi Delt squad would not let the
ATOs make the score.
The new Champions of the 1951
intramural "B" squad are Phi
Delta Theta, who defeated Beta
Theta Pi 19 to 0 in a very fine
game sparked with pass plays of
both squads.
It is quite apparent that 90 per
cent of the touchdowns were made
by passes this year because of the
inability to run the ball. This
game is no exception in the fact
that all three touchdowns and
extra points scores were made on
pass plays.
Steve McKenzie, who made a
very nice showing in the last
came with ATO, also played a
good game in this tilt.
His first pass went 25 yards to
Keith Glorfield, who scored for
his team. The extra point was no
good.
There was no more scoring in
the first quarter of the game,
but in the second quarter Mc
Kenzie again passed only this
time he passed 15 yards to Don
Wahl tor the score. On the con
version try the Phi Delts were
still unable to make It.
The final score in the cham
pionship came came as McKezie
threw 15 yards to Wahl, who than
scored the third and final touch-1
down of the 1951 intramural "B
squad games.
For the last extra point or tne
season it was McKenzie to Steve
Carvath.
Outstanding for the "B" squad
champs were Steve McKenzie. and
Steve Carvath. On defense it was
BUI Aldrich and Charley Haupt,
who did a lot of the hard playing
for the champs.
