EVTMNG STATF: JOl LINCOLN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1941. MwBe LWron bhb Cornhusker line coach confers with Philadelphia Eagles owner When Major Lawrence McOney Jonea returns from his vacation around the first of the month, there will be a bunch of "legal cap" given a thoro workout. Whenever Biff has a problem confronting him, he takes a pad of these long ruled yellow sheets, down in his basement study and draws a line down the middle of the page. Then he begins his "trial and On one aide he lists all the good things he can think of regarding the proposal; on the other aide all the reasons why this particular idea Is corny. Then he adds them up.

The dynasty that brought Nebraska its first Rose Bowl bid aeems to be falling apart. every man for him.self in this catch as catch can world and certainly this is the year for the Husker a.sai.stant coaches to have opportunities come their way.

Link has been here since 1935 when Coach Bible signed him. Lyman has come a long way since those first days when Link was first getting his sea legs as a coach. He had been a player for anme 20 years, counting his college career, and it didn't take him long to a.ssert his ability as a line coach. The thing that attracts the players to Unk is the fact that he is one of them. They come to him with their troubles, real and fancied, and they find always a sympathetic ear, because Unk is a kid at heart and always will be.

If vou put the "trial and yardstick on Link, the first entry would be registered on the negative side; too good a guy!

Lyman returned from a hurried trip to (Chicago, Thursday, where cont erred Unk l.ytiian. MEET CAWTHORNE. This fellow Cawthorn, Unk rival for the Job. Is what Bob Busby of the Lawrence Journal World describes as Borne of his eccentricities; 1. His team once walloped a rival 39 to 0, but Pete was unimpressed, and scrimmaged his Texa.s Tech boys after the contest.

2. Once after losing a game, Pete wouldn't let his players take a shower. "I want them to smell like goats," he explained. 3. It is claimed that he sometimes took his players 10 or 15 miles into the country, demanded their shoes and left them to walk back barefoot.

Biff Jones. Before taking up coaching Ly- njan played 15 years of professional football, missing only the 1931 season after leaving Ne- bra.ska at the end of the 1921 campaign. He is still listed as an all time All America pro tackle. His last season In pro ball was with the Chicago Bears in 1934. Pres.s dispatches fmm Chicago and Philadelphia have indicated that choice for the klaglea' coaching assignment rests between the Husker line mentor and Pete Cawthorn, who recently re.slgned as head coach at Texa.s Tech of Lubbock, Tex.

Major Jones, Nebraska U. athletic director and head coach, is vacationing in the south and could not be reached for comment. It is assumed that Lyman will await the return to Lincoln before giving Bell or Rooney a definite answer. Rig Bill Tilden injures legs in auto accideni MENDOTA. m.

Acting on the theory that the way to a horse mind is thru his pocketbook, spent the past six days sitting at Santa Anita park with my binoculars fixed on Charles S. wallet Before a squad of Pinkertons grabbed me on suspicion of pocket picking I learned several intriguing things. One is that the San Franciscan has not yet been convinced that his South American speedster, Kayak II, can regain the form which carried him to fir.st place in the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap in 1939 and to second money in 1940. Another is that Mioland, not Kayak II, will carry the hopes of the Howard stable when the same race is run for the seventh time on March 1. From what I tliscovered myself and what I learned from my special agent.

Howard has played Mioland heavily in the future book operated by the Baja California Turf club at Agua Caliente. He started playing him when the book opened and has been back with more since. He even has plunged a few bob on hia 3 year old, Cap, But for Kayak a dime. This Information has startled the turf fraternity in Southern California. It has been interpreted two ways.

Some people say Howard is so sure of whipping Challedon and the others with Mioland that he plans to send Kayak II to Hileah park in Florida for a try at the $50,000 Widener challenge cup to be run there the same day the handicap is run here. The others hold that Kayak II has lost his that Howard knows it. Just a Rumor. Between peeks thru my glasses, I talked to a number of well informed racing men. Unanimously, thev in.n'.sted that Floriila junket cnn bo dbsmissf'd as a rumor.

In the first place. Silent Tom Smith have to split his force, as obviously he be present at both races at the same time. And in the second place, these men say Howard is too much of a square shooter to ship south with one of his aces at this late date. If he did. trying for a double in the nation's two premier winter stakes, all the people who have backed Kayak II in the books would automatically lose their money without so much as a run.

Additionally, Howard would take the chance of gambling everything on a 1(K)-1 proposition, while if he keeps the intact at Santa Anita his chances are even.

Thurlo Mcfirady promised a shakeup in the Hastings college cage lineup against Doane Saturday night, after the Broncos, holders of the NCAC crown, had dropped their first conference game to York Tuesday.

White, a forward, has been out of the lineup for the past two games because of an influenza attack. Against the Tigers, Cley Richen- difer, all conference forward, probably will be shifted to the center position with Ralph Phelps, freshman, filling in the forwards with White.

He has been stripped of all his titles; his eyes are scarred from knives; Mead, his manager, lies ill and be in the comer shouting encouragement; and Armstrong faces a rough.

touTh clouter who blinded him with blood in their la.st fight. But the legend of the Human fighting heart rose above those blows of fate, and the cold blooded bookies made him a to 5 favorite to regain the welterweight championship he lost to Zivic. Whether Armstrong wins or loses, the ringside customers are going to get their $11.50 worth. If he wins, they w'ill yell themselves hoarse for one of the most popular fighters who ever pulled on leather. If he loses, they can tell in the years to his name is bracketed with and Gans and McAuliffe in the book of the they saw him give it one more try on a cold January evening In 1941.

They can take away a memory of the little Negro snorting and stomping, throwing windmill punches and moving eternally forward to give and take punishment. Figure Odds. The bookmakers figure why Armstnmg should be the favorite. Zivic is a good boxer, a rugged citizen and he dealt out such fearful punishment around the eyes last October that Armstrong was stumbling around the ring blind, fighting by instinct and the sound of leather crunching against flesh. Henry went to a surgeon and had some of the excess scar tkssue removed from around his eyes and said he was ready to try it again.

he still has the furious drive that carried him to the pinnacle where he was featherweight, lightweight and welterweight champion at the same time Is a question that w'iU be answered the first time Zivic hooks a hard one to the head. Armstrong is 28 years old. has been fighting more than 10 years and has had the incredible number of 350 fights. If he finds Friday night that the old zing there any more, he may call it quits. Armstrong will give away height, reach and weight but he is used to doing that.

Gets Draw With Garcia. He even fought for the middleweight UUe one time, getting a draw from Cerferino Garcia. Ziric will have an advanUge of three inches in reach, which is quite an item when you figure that Armstrong does most of his damage in close. His plan of campaign Friday night will be to get inside left and hammer away at the bodv. best bet will be to stand back and box in an attempt to start the blood flowing from eyes and then put across the finisher to the jaw.

Tardy in finding the hoop, Jackson was forced to come from arrears to check in with a 34-26 victory over Havelock Thursday evening on the Wesleyan timber. The Cardinals, careless with their passing and bucket sniping, found themselves on the short end of a 6-1 count before they clamped down to rack up their seventh straight victory. Havelock, well primed for the test, kept pace with Jackson out the first half but fell behind after the intermission and had to rely upon long, wild heaves in the waning moments.

'The 7-5 quarter lead was hacked to a 13-13 halftime tie, and Jackson was in command, 24-17, as the last period got under way. Rex Mercer, a SUb guard, did most of the offensive damage to Havelock. He potted four despite the fact he seldom drove in for a setup. B. Ketterer and Hubert Winter turned in effective floor games.
