one sprinter standing stu and the other
having a running start.
Year In and out Nebraska Is poten.
tally the strongest team In the Big
Six because the Huskers have the man
power, but last year they had narrow
squeeze to retain the championship,
playing ties with Missouri and Oklahoma.
OF course, Coach Bible was new. BY
this time he has had a chance to get
his system working. He has q group
of veteran linemen, but much depends
upon the performance of his sophomore
backs. 1t is safe to predict that the
Huskers will be contenders.
Kansas Is regarded by many observers
as likely to make a strong challenge
The Kansas freshmen walked over all
opposition last year. and with II letter
men returning Coach Hargiss will have
an experienced player for every position.
Then there is Jim Bausch, fullback
] saw this Bausch play against Illinois
In our opening game last season, and
he took my eye then. He weighs about
200, but is fast and agile A strong
offensive player, he backs up the line
on defense.
Tigers May Get Fierce.
Missouri has lost heavily, but the
Tigers, under Gwinn Henry, usually
make 1t hard for their rivals. Last
year 7-6 loss to the Kansas Aggies
cost Missouri the title, as 1t turned out
It will not be safe to count the Tigers
out.
Oklahoma, which finished fourth last
year, is likely to be better. The Kansas
Aggies. who were in the race until their
last Conference game with Nebraska,
have lost many good men, and Coach
30 McMillen will have to start building
again.
Iowa State lost all its five Confer
ence games last year, and certainly
should do better. Coach Workman has
a comfortable nucleus of letter men.
Several interesting intersectional
games will be played by Big Six teams,
Nebraska-Pitt Kansas-Pennsylvani
Missouri-New York and Iowa State
Illinois.
Ossie Solem's Drake Bulldogs, who
won the Missouri Valley championship
again last year, look good, and will
make strong bid for the title. Grin
nell, which tied Drake last year and
was accorded a tie for the champion
ship, will play full Conference sched-
ule this season. Grinnell Is expected to
be good, but will probably fall short Of
last years standard.
Oklahoma Aggies, with Lynn Waldorf
in his second season as coach, are like
~ W DC SCTOng, carrying OUT GIle PROM
Use of the closing games last year when
they were going well.
Creighton has a new coach, Arthur
Stark, former Kansas Aggies player,
who succeeds Chef Wynne. Creighton
stacks up to have about the same
strength as last year. Washington will
have new line, but strong backfield.
Last year oregon State stopped the
University of Detroit after Dorais' team
had won % straight victories, with one
tie. Marquette, interspersed. Dorais has
lost Brazil and a flock of other stall
warts, but the outlook is better than
fair. Iowa, .Fordham and Georgetown
are high spots on long schedule.
Marquette expects one of the strong
est teams in its history, with a dozen
veterans and strong sophomore ma
terial, both for line and backfield.
Drake and Boston Colleges are regarded
as the toughest obstacles in the path
Of Frank Murray's Milwaukeeans Mich
igan State will have green line and
veteran backfield. This will be the
second season for Coach Crowley, one
of the Notre Dame Four Horsemen.
Harold Smead, Michigan States cap
tain. strong center, has been lost be-
cause Of motor cycle accident.
