He said he had studied at Hopkins and Notre Dame, that he had served in a New York hospital. But he wouldn't be drawn out to any extent on his earlier career. COMFEREMCE LEAD IS OBJECTIVE OF LIMKS Omaha CentraVs Supremacy to Be Under Fire of Tech Gridders. Self assurance on the Lincoln high grid squad took a severe slap Saturday when a lightweight Falls City eleven rallied successfully after an early defensive lapse and held the Links scoreless for most of the four quarters of the game, and it is this slap that may send the Ballermen into at least temporary leadership of the Missouri Valley high school conference grid race at Sioux City Central this week. Last fall, Sioux City Central, a newcomer to the conference grid wars, invaded the Bailer stronghold and walked off with a 26 to 14 verdict and the distinction of being the only club to score on the Red and Black eleven.

The Sioux Cityans were, however, victims of an upset later in the season, and fell into the three way tie for the loop when Omaha Tech knocked them off. Sioux City Central served notice on the conference several weeks ago with a rousing 38 to 14 victory over Omaha Tech in Sioux City. To show on their side of the ledger, the Ballermen have a 34 to 0 '5 wOVr KMt eleven South 32 to trunced Omaha While two of the conference's temporary leaders fight it out for a place in the sun.

The Intricate regulations im posed by federal decree upon duck and goose hunters this year already have resulted in much confusion but with a little study the average sportsman will get thru the short season without any unhappy brushes with the conservation officers providing he doesn't try to skim too close to the shaky edge of illegal practices, thinking he might "get by." Dozens of Nebraskans "get by each year with their little tricks of law breaking and dozens more are caught up by the wardens.

You never can tell when one of these law enforcement men is going to pop up unexpectedly, which may partially, account for the high degree of law observance among the state's nimrods. The newspaper offices have had to answer many questions during the past ten days, as hunters seriously began to study the new rules. One question, which needed an interpretation by Secretary O'Connell of the game commission, concerned the flat swamp land in York county, around Utica and Waco, where, in wet years, the early fall shooting is pretty good. On these flats, hunters have built blinds anywhere that seemed advantageous on the edges, in the middle, along fences. Mere Weeds Not Shoreline.

The new rules say blinds must be within 100 feet of the shoreline, but they also define shoreline as permanent vegetation such as tall reeds and rushes which grow practically the year around. On large reed lined lakes blinds may be set out 100 feet from these The other day a questioner brought out the fact that the York county flats art almost completely grown up with a low lying aquatic vegetation, and he wondered if that fact would permit him to set a blind anywhere. But O'Connell doubted if that type of growth would come within the government's definition, and turned thumbs down. As a matter of fact, it will require a ruling from Washington to settle the question once and for all. Meanwhile, anyone who ignores the ruling and sets his blind in the middle of the flat will be subject to a sort of "tentative" arrest, with the probability he would be prosecuted if the government went against him.

They all have an alibi said O'Connell in explaining why the commission refuses to permit anyone, under any circumstances, to brmg back more than his own limit of five pheasants. Many hunters, honest in their intentions, often want to take home the day's bag made by another member of the family who is not returning at that time. There is no way it can be done. Nor can the birds be shipped. The hunter must accompany his own birds.

Reactionary Officials. The situation regarding "canned quacks" is still ud in the air. A Kansas City federal judge last week held that the government's ruling prohibiting the use of live decoys also included the use of phonograph recordings of live decoys' love calls, or whatever noise the decoy makes to entice its wild flying cousins within gun range. But the manuf acturerv against whom a temporary injunction was granted went right on ped dling his cacaphonous disks, claiming among other things that it was possible to record the noise made by a man with an artificial duck call. I DANGEROUS BUSINESS BREAK HUN LAWS Francis' Punting, Individual Line Play of Scarlet Improves.

BY JOHN BENTLEY. Saddened by the death of their beloved trainer, Martin McLean, Nebraska's Cornhuskers set about Monday rebuilding for another task which is getting bigger by the i ute stop ping the rapidly improv 1 ng Oklahoma Sooners en they come here Saturday. Back from the scoreless draw with Kansas State, where the Nebraskans h'ad HAROLD MOLMBECK to put on a pair of staunch goal line stands to ward off defeat, the squad was used up physically and mentally after four hard games. Coach Bible's problem this week will be to restore the energy and eest that has been burned out in the first four games of the campaign. Defensively at Manhattan the Hvtskers met the test but the offense couldn't make an effective gesture toward scoring, the closest the Nebraskans ever got to a touchdown being the Wildcat's 29 yard line.

Husker Offense Foxed. The bright spots in the Husker plays was the return of Sam Francis' punting, the defensive line play of Bob Mehring, Fred Shirey, Ken McGinnis and Jim Heldt However, on offense the Husker forwards were outfoxed by the Staters who were sliding along the line of scrimmage instead of charging thru. These tactics stopped the Huskers wide plays before they could get LaNoue and Card we 11 started but a cutback would have played havoc with this idea. Jerry LaNoue, best ground gainer against Minnesota, waa all in at the half at Manhattan. He had dropped seven pounds against the Gophers and the boiling sun again Saturday took its toll.

The Husker pass defense will undoubtedly come in for attention in this week's drills as the Stat ers caught the Huskers too many times out of position on forwards. Too Many Ag Reserves. One of the surprising things about the State team was Wes Fry's ability to meet the avalanche of Husker reserves with fresh men of his own who capably carried on the battle. It appeared that the Huskers would have an edge when the sun began tiring the Wildcats but Fry wasn't caught napping and kept shooting in shock troops to relieve his regulars. Return of Red Elder to the Wildcat backfield added tremendous punch to the offense of the Manhattan team.

However, the game at Manhattan is ended for everyone except the ex officio quarterbacks in Aggietown who were in the same position as those in Lincoln a week ago after the Minnesota game, the Wildcat followers having figured out two thousand ways whereby the Aggies could have cashed in on their two golden opportunities, one from the 1 yard line, the other from the seven. It's now Oklahoma or bust. Sooners Impressive. The Sooners indicated that Riff" Jones, their new coach, is instilling the same winning ways into them that have marked the other teams he has directed at Army and Louisiana State. The Sooners swamped Iowa State by almost as many points as the Huskers and the manner in which the Sooners accomplished this feat waa even more impressive.

The Oklahomans rang up eighteen first downs to three for the Iowans, 328 net yards from scrimmage to 37 for the Cyclones. Nebraska made sixteen first downs to three for the Iowans, and 314 net yards to 97. However, the most amazing part of the Sooner Cyclone statistics was in the punt averages, the Sooner kickers averaging 52.6 yards on eleven kicks. With his convertible backfields, one pony and the other composed of the bruisers, Jones will have an eleven here Saturday that will push the Huskers to the heights to win. MAIL CARRIER DIES.

Frederick Ware, sports editor of the Omaha World Herald, for years an outstanding booster of Nebraska university football teams, became the Corn huskers' severest critic, following the team's rather sorry showing at Manhattan Saturday. The Cornhuskers, Ware wrote in his column, have been handi capped to no small extent "by the oopsy daisy attitude of a decided minority of the players." This group, Ware intimates, did not put in its best licks against Kansas State Saturday. To Ware it appeared that this group was not dismayed by the game's outcome, or even mildly cast down about it "The stalemate didn't please Coach Bible or a half dozen members or so of the players," Ware wrote. "But the majority of them and those include some of the most oft spoken names seemed satisfied enough. "A guy is supposed to try to do his best, whether he is playing solely for pleasure or for profit.

"I don't think all the Bible boys tried their best, even when allowance is made for the wearing, tearing Minnesota contest. "There is a clear difference between playing football for fun and making a joke of it.

PLATTERS SNARE NO. 5 BY JOHN CRONLEY. Out of a tumultuous series of contests last week that included two of the season's most amazing upheavals, emerged a suddenly narrowed field of unbeaten and untied Nebraska high school teams, North Platte, Crelghton Prep, Mitchell and Lincoln. With their favorites apparently well under way to sectional and statewide football prominence, Omaha Benson and Grand Island fans looked on in wonder as Omaha Tech and Kearney outfits that had already seen their own title hopes slide into the discard because of earlier setbacks definitely demolished pennant anticipations of the two erstwhile standouts. Racing along a step ahead of the rest of the field is North Platte, with five in a row.

Next in order are Prep and Mitchell with four apiece, while Lincoln has won its first three starts. The Links, incidentally, applied the eraser to Falls City's fine record. A Cervantes to Kahler aerial pushed Grand Island out ahead of Kearney but the Bearcats clawed back with a third period duplicate when Loewensteln converted a Third City fumble. The Wyants then proceeded to punch the Islanders' front rank to bits, marching' 70 yards down the field with Moran picking off a lateral to score 't i However there wasn't anything merciful in the 18 0 humiliation Tech caused Benson to suffer. Maroon followers ought to remember Vernon Gaston for quite some time.

In his final appearance with the Techs Gaston chased the Bunnies down a hole and pushed it in after them. The Tech halfback roamed all over the field to ring the bell twice for the winners, and Variano added the other marker. Brown Jugs Are Tough. Falls City suffered its first reversal since 1933 when the little Brown Jugs failed to shadow George Binger, the Links' end climaxing a 70 yard drive by pulling down a scoring pass. End Elam cost the southeastern champs a score when he dropped to a knee in completing a long aerial near the Lincoln goal.

The Brownies, in their first encounter with the Red and Black, proved beyond all doubt that they are ripe for big time football. Of the other leaders only Mitchell was in danger as the far westerners saw their goal line crossed for the first time by the Morrill battlers that held Mitchell to a 13 6 win. The latter is just about in the clear in its drive for the Western loop flag; Morrill ranked as one of the toughest entries of the league. "Kayo" Robino, who was a great little helper as the Jays won the last state cage tournament here, put on a one man taming act against the Tigers of Fremont who curled up 25 0. Robino went over twice and was instrumental in all of the Palrangs' scores.

Another one man band tuned up at North Platte as Ivan Wilson's kids about put the clincher on the Southwestern pennant. Floyd Newton nearly played a solo for the Platters' 19 6 triumph. Lincoln and Omaha tribes had pretty good hunting while banging away at fairly stiff opposition.
