CO JOHN Wrong BENTLEY STEVE HOKUF, ruddy of cheek and weighing no more than when he played plenty of football and basketball for Nebraska stopped by for an old time bag punching session. Steve used to do a little sports reporting for The Journal when he was at Nebraska and. he a nose for news. His stufr wasn't done by a "spook," either. As we were short handed those days- -and we still are in J.

C. 'Yes" Mr. Seacrest is listening as he was terday when I made some crack about "why should I work" and he immediately sent up a note saying he had some gardening and lawn manicuring in case I couldn't find anything else to do -and no one had any time to do any ghost writing, if you remember where we were when we started on this long, tortuous thought. However, Steve opened the conversation with a tribute to George Sauer in landing the New shire job and to Chick Justice, who signed on as his assistant. Hokuf will assist Dutch Witte at Wyoming next fall and that makes another unanimous Cornhusker staff.

Lloyd "Dauber" Grow, who was formerly with Witte at Wyoming, has gone into the oil business with headquarters in Laramie. Steve thinks the split of the Rocky Mountain conference will help as it brings together the stouter members. He says Witte put over a miracle in basketball last season when.

he took a group of green sophomores who apparently were not going any place and brought them around to where they were the sensation of the conference toward the close.

CHICAGO. (Copyright, 1937, UP). One more broken bone and one more laceration and the Chicago Cubs will break the mark for injuries established by the old Baltimore Orioles, the writer learned in an exclusive interview with the registered nurse who keeps the log book on the Chicago team. "Yes," the nurse told me as she busily whittled on a crutch, "when Rip Collins cracked his ankle sliding, our home 17th two casualty days of ago, the it season. The Orioles' record is 19.

We are tied with them on broken fingers, ligaments, and snapped vertebrae, but are shy one broken bone and laceration. I don't want to appear boastful, for fear it will jinx us, but I honestly believe we have a grand chance to set a new record." Gabby Chief Victim. The nurse dabbed her ears with a dash of Eau de Sloan's and asked if I would care to see the log book, a handsome tome bound in adhesive tape and profusely Illustrated with x-rays. As I thumbed thru its pages I jotted down the 1937 Cub injuries: Curt Davis, injured arm; Tex Carleton, chipped elbow; Bob Garbark, broken hand; Gabby Hartnett, strained arm; Gabby Hartnett, injured shoulder; Gabby Hartnett, reinjured shoulder; Gabby Hartnett, rereinjured shoulder; Larry French, broken right hand; Ken O'Day, bruised hand; Billy Herman, nail torn from finger; Bully Jurges, fractured wrist bone; Clay Bryant, flu; John Bottarini, injured finger; Gabby Hartnett, jammed finger; John Bottarini, spiked; Bill Lee, strained muscle; Bill Jurges, hurt shoulder; Charley Root, hurt pitching hand; Rip Collins, broken ankle. "A fine team spirit," I commented.

"Nearly every man on the squad has contributed something." "Yes," the nurse beamed, "the men have been splendid. word Especially of Mr. Hartnett. Without a complaint, he has carried along the boys who are in an injury slump. We are counting quite a bit on Cavaretta and Hack, I don't mind Those two haven't been able to break a thing, but telling you.

now that they know we are 80 near a record I am sure they will come thru." Endorsement Offers. The nurse also revealed to me that if the Cubs win the pennant the players will make more money out of the National league title than any other players in history. "Offers for endorsements are simply rolling in," she said. "Almost as many as requests for autographed x-rays. Here are a few of the offers that came in last week." Middle Illinois Iodine company: $2,500 for a group picture of the team admiring a bottle of iodine.

Hiram L. Potts Hot Water Bottle company: $4,000 for the right to make a Chicago Cubs model hot water bottle. Speedalong Crutch company: $2,640 for permission to manufacture Gabby Hartnett crutches. Interstate Stretchers, $2,500 for the right to use the slogan: "We litter. up the Cubs' dugout let us litter up your The nurse also told me that Mgr.

Charley Grimm, because of the skill he has shown in running the Cubs this year, has been offered a position as superintendent of a large hospital. YOUTHFUL COLORADOAN WINS AT SCOTTSBLUFF SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (UP). Surviving a late rally by his opponent, Guy Lamoreaux, 19, of Sterling, won the Oregon Trails golf tournament championship here Wednesday by defeating Harold Fales of Orleans one up on the 36th hole.

OMAHA, (UP). Brimming with optimism over Nebraska's football prospects, Roy "Link" Lyman, Husker line coach, and erstwhile Grant county rancher, came to market Wednesday with a consignment of cattle. Nebraska football squad a number of its best men by graduation last season, Lyman said, but the team is going to have two great lines nevertheless.

Any shortage of material will be in the backfield. "We could use more good backs," Lyman said, "but taking the squad as a whole, we ought to have enough power to come thru, what looks like a mighty tough schedule without having to offer any alibis. Minnesota and Pitt should be the biggest games 1 for Nebraska this year." Late this month Lyman will go to Chicago to witness the game between the college All Stars and the Green Bay Packers. He will return to Lincoln in September for the opening of the practice season. Wearing a ten gallon sombrero and a deep coat of tan, Lyman looked more like a cowhand than a football coach.

There has not for long time, he said, but where been en good rain in Grant county there is any grass cattle are putting on flesh and should come market in good condition later in the fall.

15. YANKS LEAVING TRAIL OF BROKEN HEARTS IN THEIR FOAMING WAKE Red Sox Fall Hard in Twin Bill As Ruthless New Yorkers Bluster On. CUBS TAKE PITTSBURGH BY GEORGE KIRKSEY. NEW YORK. (UP).

Boston's Red Sox, who fought their way up from fourth to second place by winning 12 13 games, pulled themselves out of wreckage of a double defeat Thursday. The best things the Yanks do is K. challengers. S. They just polished off the White Sox, in four straight.

Boston was all excited about the Red Sox chances and 86,127 persons jammed Fenway park for the "crucial" battles. The Yanks routed their latest challengers, 8-5, in 14-innings, and 10-4 in 7 innings. It was the Yanks' tenth, straight victory and increased lead to games. It isn't so much the defeats, but it's the way the Yanks do it. They break their rivals' heart in the bargain.

At the start of each game the Yanks blasted away with a homer. Joe Di Maggio hit his 33rd with a man on in the first inning of the opener and then Lou Gehrig cracked his 28th with two mates aboard. The Red Sox had to fight uphill in both games, They tied the first game, 4-4, in the ninth but the tension was too much for them. They cracked wide open in the. 14th and the Yanks poured over four runs.

In the second game the Yanks got away to a four run lead and Red Sox fought valiantly to tie the score, 4-4. But the Yanks slammed over six runs in the sixth. Never a Dull Moment. The Yanks always put on a big show. They almost precipitated a the first game.

Jake Powell got free all in the, tenth inning of caught in a rundown between second and third and charged into Pinky Higgins. The players squared away but the umpires quickly quelled the uprising. Myril Hoag crashed into Catcher Berg in the first game, and Berg had to retire. Catcher Gene DeSautels was tossed out of the first game for protesting decisions on balls and strikes by Umpire Kolls, and First Baseman Jimmy Foxx had to the bat. Yanks are around.

Things always Shappen when the In the other American league games Cleveland won a double- header from the St. Louis Browns, 5-2 and 7-2, and Washington beat the Athletics, 5-4. Bob Feller ited the Browns to seven hits, three of them scratches, to score his third victory for the season. Cubs Trim Clay "Curly Pictspuraharyant. pitched the Chicago Cubs to a 5-1 triumph over Pittsburgh and increased the Cubs' National league lead to games over the idle Giants.

Bryant allowed only five hits in besting Red Lucas. Galan hit homer No. 17 and Hartnett No. 8. The St.

Louis Cardinals beat Cincinnati, 3-2, scoring the winning run in the ninth. Pepper Martin tore a ligament in his leg in sliding into third base and will be laid up for two weeks. No other games were played. Wednesday's heroes Those Yankee siege guns, Rolfe, Di Maggio and Gehrig who rattled out ten hits, scored eight runs and drove in ten more as they led the attack against the Red Sox.
