Atwitit tiwrolw atwi Jmifnif I May Be Wrong By Dick jmtmi Coach Bill Glasaford is still fighting an uphill battle in his recruiting efforts to build a better football team for the University of Nebraska. As evidenced by the report on grants-in-aid for the past school year, the Huskers are not having much luck at getting better students to do the football playing. getting Again this fall 39 per cent of tht spring practice squad will be gone. There are some good play- ert, tome average players and aome poor players in the list of the absentees. But all in all the waste of time, effort and money has again been terrific.

One question which always arises Is the advisability of out- state recruiting. This year 14 bojra dropped who were receiving a full grant-in-aid. A full scholarship amounts to about $900 a year for an outslate boy and $700 for a Nebraska lad. Half of the 14 full riders were from outstate. The argument advanced against going into such states as Pennsylvania and Iowa is that if Nebraska can get the boys away from the state schools in those states, then they are getting the second rate boys.

This is not always true but it may be generally true. Something New Glassford, as if he have enough headaches, found out there is always something new under the sun this spring when four of his kids were shunted out of school for having participated in a panty raid. One of these was Jerry Peter.sen of Cambridge who wa.s a cinch for a starting tackle berth. There is a glimmer of hope some erf these boys may get back into school. However, if they do, ancfs are they will be placed on probation and be eligible 0 an extra curricular activi- tives, including football.

Loss of Halfback Don Comstock will be a bitter jolt to NU hopes this fall. Comstock was erne (rf the fin- est halfbacks In the Midwest. He had power, speed and deception. Teamed with Willie Greenlaw, hr gave NU a brilliant halfback paid. Both had two years to go in their varsity careers.

Comstock failed to pass summer school. Greenlaw is currently working on an extension course which he must complete by the opening of school to be eligible this fall. Finrhrr Shift? Chances are that Glas.sford will try Rex Fischer at halfback as soon as fall camp gets under way. The Oakland lad seems to sp every i as a quarterback and every fall as a haltoack. He is a good runner and passer.

This i he nailed down the No. 1 quarterback off Fischer 1 a ssford's split T. But Glassford has another good T-man in Don Erway of Lincoln and may feel more secure there than he does at halfback. Erway missed the spring drills to undergo a knee operation. If he is at strength, he will probably run the Huskers this fall.

TTie new substitution rules will allow coaches free use of their players and one quarterback may be able to do the jdb. Last year Danny Brown and Erway split the duties. Fischer didn't get to see too much action as he filled in at both halfback and quarterback.

Toledo Hot But Pennant Chances Fade By United Press The Toledo Smi jumped from fourth to a second place tie in the American Asaociati(m, but their chances of catching the league- leading Minneapolis Millers seemed all but gone. The Millers tocrft their third straight from the fading Omaha Cards Tuesday night with an eight- run ninth inning rally that swept them to a 16-13 victory.

Toledo made its jump by whipping Louiavilie, 8-3. It was tied for the runner-up spot with Denver which lost its second straight game to St. Paul, 7-3. In a second division battle, Indianapolis tocrfc Charleston, 7-1. Monte Irvin started the Miller attack with a first inning homer, but Omaha went ahead with four- run innings in the fifth and sixth.

The Cards threw in three relief pitchers in the disastrous ninth in an attempt to halt the Minneapolis onslaught. Toledo also had a big inning, pushing across seven runs in the fourth. Bob Broome homered for Louisville in the third and Harold Daniels slammed one out of the park for Toledo in the seventh. St. Paul eame up with four runs in the seventh to provide the margin of victory.

At Indianapolis, the Indians and Charleston had the same number hits nine but Indian pitcher Hmvard Rode- moyer allow a run after the second inning. Pueblo Muffs Chance to Gain Half Game on First Place Barrmi Hallow lb bBurback Harriann a cMcUml Valais By United Press Pueblo missed a chance to gain a half-game on Colorado Springs when it split a Western League doubleheader with Des Moines Tuesday 7-2 and 1-2. The Dodgers were in a ma.stcrful, 12 hit mood in the opener but got only five hiU off Bruin A1 Lary in the night- Jankina, Ba cap. Sioux big fifth inning was enough to edge Wichita, 4-3, in the other game, wrecking Indian Bob four-hitter. Harrison struck out 13 and established a new record of 236 for one season in the reorganised Western League.

But he blew a 3-6 lead in the fifth with free passes to first base. An outfield error finished the Indians. fWiI Gawt PUEBLO 3 114 3 1 1 2 013 0 3 1 3 3 113 0 Conda aa 3 0 0 2 Janklna 1 0 0 0 Barnhart lb 4 10 0 OravM 9 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 10 0 0 S4tS4i Vaiala oat for Barm In OUi.
