Hawkins, H tiding Named
Co-Capfains For Opener
Bill Hawkins trd Marlin Hilding, ; for the honor along with the other
the two ends for head coach Bill j end. Marlin Hilding. Marlin is a
Jennings, have received the nod Wf,
for both years, Hilding hails from
Red Oak, Iowa and led the squad
last year in minutes played for
the Cornhuskers. Last year he
garnered seven passes for 84 yards
for a 12-yard average.
Hawkins nabbed five aerials last
year for a 13.6 average and fin
ished second in team scoring be
hind Jerry Brown and tying with
Willie Greenlaw for point total.
Husker Coach, Bill Jennings, in
naming the two ends co-captains
declared "We're going to give the
"H" Saturday.",
Actually, all of the senior letter
men are co-captains this year but
each week Jennings will nominate
two to serve as the official team
leaders.
George Harshman is one senior
who won't fall under Jennings
for the co-captainship for this Sat
urday'g football opener against
Washington State College.
Hawkins will be playing h i s
third year for the Scarlet and
Cream and for the third year will
be playing a new position. To add
more confusing information, the
Beatrice player will be playing for
his third grid coach in as many
seasons.
Bill made his football debut in
1955 at the guard position for
coach Bill Glassford. Then in 1956
he started at the halfback slot for
Pet Elliott. The 1957 grid season
has him scheduled to play the
wing position for Jennings and do
the coin flipping for the coach
in the WSC game.
Hawkins, who excells in track
as well as football, was tabbed

share the leadership program this
fall, however. The veteran failed
to clear scholastic barriers, leav
ing regular signal calling to sopho
more Harry Tolly. Tolly will be
backed by Roy Stinnett, 'a junior.
Harshman was the Husker's top
punter and place kicker. It was
his last minute field goal that
eased Nebraska to a 9-7 victory
over Iowa State last year. He
punted 22 times for a 37.5 yard
average and booted six of nine
extra point attempts.
Jennings said that defensive
ability will play a big part in his
selection of a regular quarterback.
"We won't have the ball more
than half the time," Bill said, "so
ability to run a team isn't the
prime requisite. We've got to be
able to stop the opposition the
other half of the time."

When Nebraska's Cornhuskers

sportscasters and sportswriters are
calling the strongest KU team in
five years.

Los Angeles
Makes Last
Try For Bums
In the seemingly decisionless de
bate as to what happens to the
Brooklyn Dodgers, the Los Angeles
City Council placed a "firm and UB"
final offer" on the desk of thehis
Dodger president, Walter O'Mal
ley. The council had earlier voted 11
i to approve a plan mapped by
official negotiator Harold McClel
lan after hearing Mayor Norris
Poulson say that the city had
reached a "crossroads" witn 0'
Malley. The plan which Los Angeles of
fered O'Malley includes a trade
of 300 acres of land in Chavez
Ravine in downtown Los Angeles,
with two million dollars in im
provements on it to the Dodgers in
exchange for the Dodgers Wrig'.ey
Field.
The city would retain half the
oil and mineral rights to the
acreage. This, in Los Angeles, is
an important provision, for many
parts of the city are underlain
with oil deposits.
Meanwhile, in New Yrrk, Mayor
which was once 27 at the end of
spring practice, has shrunken to 22
through the early September mill
ing. The Jayhawkers will present
their best halfback corps in five
years for the 1957 contest with
Nebraska. This is not to say this j
year's gang will be as good as the j
1952 ensemble, but it should cer- j
tainly be the best in head coach
Chuck Mather's four-year regime.

Kansas quarterbacking is good
as far as it goes two-deep with
Wally Strauch and Bob Marshall.
These are the only two established
hands in camp.
Strauch, an alternate regular for
two seasons, was Big Seven pass
ing champion last year with 596
yards. Marshall played the defense
exceptionally well for a sophomore
in 1956 and is a tough, fast runner.
The return of Don Feller, Ail

shifting of Floyd. As a freshman

Then comes that horrid three game road trip which finds Nebraska
stopping in Pittsburgh, Manhattan, and West Point, Pittsburgh, I must
admit, will probably measure Nebraska, but Kansas State can't jinx
us forever, and, in spite of brave talk, Army is rebuilding. With a little
determination and the breaks Nebraska could be 3-1 at the end of their
pilgrimage. I will sally onto the proverbial limb and say definitely
the Huskers will at least be 2-2. '
The next one is at home against Syracuse. The Orange were tops
last year, but a team can't lose 22 leUermen and slay tops. This is
where the Big Red will crack above the .500 mark.
Missouri is another thing, however. The Tieers didn't like getting
beat for the third straight year on a pass that smacked as much of
fluke as it did skill. Playing the percentages, I will say the Huskers
will lose this one-
