BY C. E. McBRIDE THE patriarch of Nebraska football, in fact the patriarch of everything Nebraska, has returned again to the dust whence he came, but the name of Charles Sumner Uncle Cyps grace a chapter in athletic and state history of Nebraska. Back in 1900 as a young sportswriter in Lincoln, Cy Sherman first called Nebraska football players Cornhuskers.

He had rebelled against the early name of Bugeater and when he discovered that Antelopes, the replacement name, were akin to the goat family, he quickly cast that one aside. Glorying always In the football fame of Nebra.ska, Cy had the satisfaction of seeing the moniker he had supplied became not only the official name of I niversitv of Nebra.ska athletes, but the official name of the state, adopted bv legislative MAGl lKE SOLD New York Giants announced Monday me sale of Outfielder Jack Maguire to the Pittsburgh Pirates on waivers For many years Nebraska dominated football in this sector arici au through those years Cy name was synonymous with Cornhusker football. He wrote well, prolifically and staunchly in support of his beloved Cornhuskers. He was a loyalist in the extreme and woe betide the writer who by any chance wrote critically of the Cornhuskers. He was quick to pick an error, keen in resentment ot anything he considered a slur against his Cornhuskers and never slow in expressing his indignation both in letters to the offender and through the columns of his paper.

In later years he mellowed although he seldom failed to an- a cue that seemed to call for a Nebraska response.

A 200. Makes any lunch Bypr.s Ilnrsert, llametz. Ot your favorite soda store or stand vna.k€s fortd Peaiee pRNIE Mehl, present sports editor of The Star, has his Sherman memories, too. It was a Kansas game at Lincoln perhaps a dozen years ago that found Mehl innocently sauntering into your Kansas had carried the ball down the field but held for downs so close to the Nebraska goal that Mehl referred to it as the six-inch line. When Cy read that line, he caught fire.

How any observer the far away press box could designate a six-inch line was beyond the Sherman comprehension. Anyway, he quite possibly resented the implication that any hostile team could get that close to the Nebraska goal. Quite a voluminous correspondence developed between our Mr. Mehl and Mr. Sherman.

"The ball got farther back from that six-inch line with every letter from Cy," recalls The sports editor, "until finally I was convinced that Kansas work the ball beyond the middle of the field." It should be stated, however, that Sherman and Mehl became fast friends, each with a wholesome admiration and liking for the other. ily OniaiiM SiiritiK? iJNitn.N De?

IN his story of the Nebraska-Kansas game last fall, Bob Busby The Star sports staff and a KU alumnus, referred in his lead paragraph to the pass interception of a Nebraska guard as the hinge on which the game swung toward the Huskers. Perhaps Author Busby, being a KU grad, might have toned that lead to a softer strain but. be that as it may, your Cyrus was up in arms when he had read the story. Approaching 80.

he V3as still able and willing to take his place on the firing line when anyone seemed to be reflecting on the soundness of Nebraska football, "Since I ask," wrote Your Uncle Cyrus, "would it be proper to classify the Rex Hoy interception as even a remote approach to a fluke? An aggressive, alert Nebraska forward playing the great game of football as it is supposed to be played, successfully rushes the KU passer so that the ball is deflected into the air where possession is immediately taken over by another charging and alert Nebraska forward, who runs to a A fluke, Mr. Busby describes it.
