Even black seen against the luster of their HuskersEnd Spring Grid Impressive Drills Lend Rosy Hue to Autumnal Outlook; Lots of Vets. LINCOLN, April 18 UP) Spring football practice ended at the Uni versity of Nebraska yesterday, after a scrimmage in which end Ray Prochaska galloped 42 yards for the only touchdown. The work of Harry Hopp and Vike Francis, backs, also stood out. Prochaska, playing on the "Harvard" squad, grabbed a lateral from a surprised "Yale" gridder and was out in the open before his opponents realized what had happened. Warren Alfson, guard, converted to give Harvard a 7 to 0 victory.

Hopp and Francis were members of the Yale squad, and their replacements. Jack Vincent and Ken Simmons, gave creditable performances. The longest gain of the afternoon came when Hopp, failing to find a receiver for a pass, raced around end for 17 yards and then tossed to Bob Kahler for another 30 yard gain. This scorng threat failed, however. Sideline observers rated the practice season as one of the most successful.

An abundance of experienced players was on hand and the customary missed assignments were lacking. The Huskers went at the work with a zest and few dropped out after the opening day's drill. Bad weather was somewhat a handicap at the start, but no time was lost. One of the principal problems remaining to be faced is scholastic difficulties. Another Is bolsteiing the ends.

These will remain to be solved when the fall practice season opens.

BUT WHIP A'S, 4-1 By Judson Bailey (Associated Press Sports Writer) Until Joe DiMaggio gets back into the lineup for the New York Yankees the world champions are sure to see a constant stream of southpaw pitching. Connie who has to take chances with what material he has masquerading as pitchers, tried a righthander yesterday in the only game of the day in the major leagues, and the McCarthy-men went right to work for a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics.

But Mr. Mack knows the formula as well as he knows every other rule of the thuaib in baseball He gambled with Lefty (Chubby) Dean and won the opener the da before and he has announced that young Herman Besse. a rookie southpaw from Memphis, will be thrown into the lions' den today. Scheme Doesn't Always Work Although the scheme doesn't always work, the American league managers have been feeding left handers to the Yankees for years With DiMaggio in sick bay, the Yankees have five lefthanded batters In the lineup, four of them, coming to the plate in succession. Besides DiMaggio, the only righthanded hitting outfielder on the Yankee squad is Jake Powell and he is in a hospital and may be lost for many weeks because of a brain concussion.

DiMaggio hop-fed to get back into harness tomorrow when the Yanks make their first home stand against the Senators, but the Yankees themselves thought he might be out for several more days until his twisted knee strengthens. There is no question that his power against both right and left-handed pitching is missed. In the opener which New York lost in ten innings Yanks collected six hits, none of them more than a single, and yesterday they won with a somewhat skimpy seven. The only one of these good for more than one base was a homer by Charley Keller. KeUer Takes Charge In fact the Yanks might have been edge out again in spite of Monte Pearson's four-hit pitching if Killer hadn't expressed his authority.

He walked to lead off the fourth inning and scored" New York's first run, homered for the second and drove in the fourth with a single. Unfavorable weather forced postponement of all the other games.

By Bob McCormlck ALBANY, N. April 18 Cf Bob Pastor, who went 21 round with Joe Louis, aimed few verbal blows at the fight business and came up with the idea that you have to be a politician to get bout nowadays. "Boxing has hit a new low," Pastor told an Albany service club yesterday, "when a ranking, fighter has to go out on a stump and make speeches like a politician to get himself a fight." After he'd returned to his Saratoga Springs home, Bob amplified his itata-ment. it seems, figures he's a ranking fighter, as good as any heavyweight around save, maybe. Champion Joe.

Didn't he go go ten rounds with Louis before tha latter had won his title? And didn't he clip the champ a few good ones before finally going down In the eleventh round of their championship fight last September? "Yes, and 111 slip him a few good ones again, if they ever let me in the ring with him." he said, confident'. still think I can lick that Louis. I've fought him twice In two years and beaten every good heavyweight around but I still can't get a No Bout Since December Tastor might have something there. Since his last Louis battto he's fought just once, winning a ten round decision over Buddy Scott in Dallas, last December. Twice he claims to have been set to go but each time something hoppened.

"Lee Savold was supposed ta fight me," he explained, "but he went out and got himself licked by one of my former sparring mates, Johnny Whiter. Then I was set to meet Billy Conn but ha got a case of bolls and I was put off again." "What I really want." ha added, "is another shot at Louis and that title and I'm certain Pop (Jimmia Johnston, Pastor's manager) will get It for me. "But If I hava to stump tha country like a politician to get fights, okay, then I'll do it."
