Cornhuskers Kickoff With Iowa State
With all Big Six forces, except Oklahoma, turning their thoughts toward tomorrow's games, heavy duty practice was completed yesterday. The main focus will be on the Iowa State-Nebraska battle at Ames.
It will be the 36th meeting of the two schools and Nebraska boasts seven Rose Bowl performers on its experienced eleven. Vike Francis, Husker fullback, and Allen Zikmund, halfback, will be the big cogs in Nebraska's offensive drives. Ray Donels, making his debut as the new Iowa State coach, reports he will start virtually the same team that

performed so outstandingly against the Huskers last season. There still is a great doubt that Quarterback Royal Lohry will see any action for the Cyclones.
Except for the center and blocking back positions, Missouri will be at full strength, said Coach Don Faurot, as the Tigers completed practices yesterday for the Colorado U. game. Those two positions will be occupied by sophomores, taking the place of the injured Capt. Darold Jenkins and Harold Adams. Another veteran center, Jefferson Davis, is also keeping Jenkins and Adams company on the injury list. Jack Keith, former

Kansas City Westport star, will be Faurot's choice for the center assignment, with three other sophomores in reserve. They are: Bob Sweeney, Jack Marrow, and Nill Watson.

BIG SIX CLASHES
Nebraska against Iowa State, Colorado opposite Missouri, Kansas pitted with Washington, and Kansas State meeting Northwestern, sums up the Big Six assignments for this Saturday. The Oklahoma Sooners remain idle this weekend, resting on the laurels of their 19 to 0 victory over the Oklahoma Aggies last week.
Kansas will be the favorite against Washington. Washington has an all-veteran team, but last season's Washington record was three wins in nine starts so the Bears shouldn't be too tough. Players in the Jayhawk line watch as all-star material are Bob Githens, center; Bob Fluker, guard; Gene Long, tackle; and Hubert Ulrich, end. Despite the weather and condition of the field, Ralph Miller's passing and the ball carrying abilities of Ray Evans and Don Pollom should prove to be the deciding margin in favor of the Crimson and the Blue. If the contest is played in the mud and the rain, the Kansas team will have a tougher time.
With Royal Lohry injured and unable to play, the Iowa State offense will be weakened considerably. Nebraska looks two touchdowns better than the Cyclones on paper and if Vike Francis, Dale Bradley and the rest get going, the Cornhuskers triumph may be quite one-sided.
Missouri, despite the loss of two fine centers, Davis and Jenkins, rates about 12 to 15 points better than Colorado. Texas ran over the Buffaloes 34 to 6, and the Tigers from Columbia with Ice and Steuber at the helm, should do just as well.
Hobbs Adams of Kansas State will really take it on the chin with Lynn Waldorf's great Northwestern team as his foe. Led by All-American Alf Bauman, Bill DeCorrevont, and Don Clawson, the Wildcats from Evanston will be plenty rugged. Kansas State is a much better team than their showing indicated against Fort Hays State last week. However, Northwestern, one of the Big Ten's best, should chalk up an easy 20-point win.
NATIONAL GAMES OF INTEREST
Here's a few predictions on the highlight games of the country. Duke over Tennessee in a tosso扑 battle. Ed Dudley, Virginia's great back, to lead his team to victory over Yale. Navy over West Virginia with Bill Busik of the Middies making his 1941 debut in glory. Notre Dame to defeat Indiana in a tough one. Purdue to beat Pittsburgh by a touchdown.
Texas, led by Pete Layden and Jack Crain, should rout Louisiana State. Colgate's star-studded sophomore crew should be able to whip Penn State. Washington to edge out Oregon State, Columbia's better than Brown, Wisconsin to take Marquette, Stanford's "T" boys over U.C.L.A., California too strong for Washington State, Alabama's Crimson Tide to drown Mississippi State, Texas Christian over Arkansas, Fordham by a hair against Southern Methodist, and Michigan will down Iowa in a close one.

No Commercialism For Me--"Phog" Allen
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, whose recent prediction that big-time football can not survive past the present national emergency has been discussed widely, today presented evidence that basketball, as well as football, is not free from commercialism.
The "evidence" is a letter, received from a widely-known coach in a Southeastern conference school, offering to "send" to Dr. Allen a basketball player who is no longer eligible to compete in that conference.
*eligible to play here I would have kept him."
"I am interested in sending him to you," the letter reads, "as I feel that I would like to send you someone sometime that would do you some good. Naturally, if this boy were
Dr. Allen thanked him well-meaning correspondent for his kindness, and informed him that "we do not even have scholarships, nor do we have lucrative jobs that would enable him to make more than $20 a month."
According to Dr. Allen, this proposition is by no means a rare or unusual one. "Letters like this come in frequently. These boys are being given their tuition, board and room, books, and clothes. Some schools pay $90 a month on athletic scholarships. Multiply this figure by the number of men on the squad, and you will see how much commercialism is costing some schools."
Scholarship Stressed In Freshmen Football
The first and most important purpose of freshman football training is to weld the boy into the scholastic purpose of the University," Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach stated this morning.
He added that the second object of yearling football is to take off the rough edges of high school; to make men of the boys; to make them assume the mannerly appearance of the University. In losing the rough edges
they will learn how to balance their time for play, studies, and work.
The learning of football fundamentals rounds out this fresh football training. The players learn how to block, tackle, pass, and punt as individuals. Coach Replogle then shows them how to coordinate their individual ability and knowledge into a smooth-working team.
As freshmen, the players have no (continued to page five)
