Huskers Have Something This Year, They Believe
Won't Go Into November Without Victory This Season According to U.P. Writer
By Carl Lundquist United Press Staff Correspondent
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 27—(UP)—The Nebraska Comhuskers won't go into November this season without a football victory. That is what happened last year for the first time since 1899 and the major gives a veiled promise that it won't happen again this year.
The major is Coach Lawrence M. Jones, the old army man, who found that "suicide" schedules and unseasoned players did
not mix. The schedule is no easier this year, but the players are harder.
Almost every member of the Nebraska line is back for another try this year, and there are enough lettermen in the backfield to give a broad hint that the Cornhuskers once more may be a power, both in and out of the Big Six Conference. Depends on Power.
Since Jones long has been an exponent of power football and depends upon strong line material to make his running plays register, it is the forwards that are going to get most of the credit for whatever happens this year. Jones is banking on such fellows as Bill Hermann and Adna Dobson, two-year men at the guard positions, and Royal Kahler and Forrent Behm, to carry on the all-important work force. There is more than casual public list last month piously because Nebraska was being treated casually by the sports writers. All have been drilled to a fine edge in the rudiments of play, stressed by Jones, and probably will do most of the heavy work through the season.
Jones isn't even trying to find a center who can take the place of Charley Brock, the major graduation loss. The task of taking his job goes to Bob Ramey, who was his understudy for two seasons.
The end situation looks promising with Ray Prochaska and Jack Ashburn, both holder regulars, probably the first team starters. Jerry Prochaska, Ray's younger brother, also has first team aspirations and there are about four sophomores who may make good.
Knight a Hotshot
A fast stepping junior, George Knight, gave promise last season of becoming one of the best backs in the midlands and is sure of getting one of the regular backfield jobs. He probably will start at quarter. A pair of triple threat veterans, Herman Robrig and Harry Hopp, have almost halftabback jobs. Vike Francis, a sophomore, may get the fullback post if he can keep up his scholastic standing. Francis is a handsome father from Franville, handed away a farm, and Braska all-American of several seasons ago. Other backfield talent included Bob De Fruiter and Walter Luther, both halfs, Roy Pesch, quarter and Robert Kahler, full.
Nebraska hasn't issued up on its "big league" schedule. The Cornhuskers open on Sept. 30 at Bloomington against Indiana and return home to take on the Minnesota Gophers Oct. 7. After these two tests against Big Ten opponents, the Huskers play the conference opener against Iowa State at Annes on Oct. 14, then try out the Southwest conference when Baylor wins. In March 21, Kansas State is the foe at Manhattan on Oct. 28 and Missouri at Columbia on Nov. 4. The "Huskers" play Kansas at home on Nov. 11, journey to Pittsburgh for the annual game with the Panthers on Nov. 18 and return home to finish the season against Oklahoma on Nov. 25.
Quack Club Tryouts Are Scheduled for Saturday
Quack Club tryouts will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Mickie Learnd, ed40, president of the club, will be in charge. Those interested in becoming members must pass the following tests: resting back stroke, side stroke, side overarm stroke, and front crawl. In addition, they must swim 15 lengths of the pool, float or tread water for one minute, and do a standing front dive.
Nazis Grab 11 British-the three clubs. Swan also rates topts in aerial defense and linebacking. These are the capabilities of Killer Swan, who after playing only in his senior year at high school, was idle at Drake in football until his junior year. He has earned two letters playing basketball.

Young Fans To See Game
- High School Students Get Special Rates to Cyclone Grid Tilt
DICK AMERINE
Youthful football fans of the state and surrounding territory will have their day Saturday, Oct. 7, when the Jayhawks play Iowa-State at Lawrence.
High school students will be admitted to the game for twenty-five cents. Upon purchasing a ticket at their high school or at the stadium they will receive a shirt which encloses a small envelope containing the souvenir program for one game.
Notice of the special arrangements for young fans has been sent to 500 high schools in this territory, and already a number of schools have written for blocks of tickets. The largest request was from Wyndotte high school of Kansas City, Kansas, which wrote for 200 tickets.
In addition to the high school student arrangements, the Athletic Association has announced that Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Campfire Girls of this region will be its guest representatives. The organizations are expected to be in uniform and accompanied by a leader.
HOLDEN LINES By CLAVELLE HOLDEN, Kansan Sports Reporter
The first casualties of the present grid campaign came Tuesday when a Texas University special football train was wrecked at Hillsap, Texas. Other teams in the conference needn't jump to conclusions, the train carried only fans. The football team was to have been picked up at Sweetwater, Texas, and thus was not on the train at the time.
Things should really happen when Ralph "Muscle Man" Stevenson and 10 other Oklahomaans meet Northwestern in a couple of weeks. Stvenson maintains it is a personal battle. A couple of his Ponca City high school buddies are first string men at Evanston. "Steve" says he is going to prove to them they made a mistake when they left Soonerland.
With plenty of publicity coming out about Jack Jacobs down at Norman your scribe says keep a close eye on Orville Matthews. Matthews is one of the boys who went to the west coast to school and then returned to his state university. The Chickkaha flyer, as he was known in high school, was one of three Oklahoma boys who returned from California this year. Said fact caused Sooner scribes to report "All quiet on the western front." P. S. They're still peeved about those two boys on the Northwestern varsity.
"Hey Elmer" at Manhattan these days may mean that Coach Frys is yelling at one of his two star backs, Hackney or Nierman, or it may mean the "hubbies" are being called home. Hackney and Nierman are the only married men on the Wildcat squad this year. You will probably hear them referred to as "One Man Gang" and just plain old "Butch." I wonder what they are called at home?

'Killer' Swan Will Be Drake's Ace in Hole

★ Star Bulldog Pivet Man Will Do Most of Kicking Against the Jayhawks
Des Moines, Sept. 26—(Special)—When honors are passed out later this fall for commendable gridron performances, you can count Drake's performance for his share. Anyway, that's the guess the critics around here venture.
Drafted for service at center in 1938, Swan came through an few players have done at Drake. His team was not a good one, and they chose him to co-captain for 1939.
He played more minutes last year than any man on the squad and lacked but two minutes of competing in three full contests. A top-ranking player was named the toughest player on the squad — thus the nickname, “Killer.”
There are further reasons this year why the critics are lauding this 195-pound powerhouse.
This year he'll do the kicking off, a majority of the punting and most of the placecking for extra points. That's an unusual job for a center. But Swan has been doing the best job of all the players on the squad at
