SEVEN IVAARVIN PLOCK RETURNS TO HUSICE R SQUAD Jones Juggles Varsity Backfield Seeking Winning Combination Mentor Assigns Tentative Posts To Varsity Squad Nebraska footballers got their first taste of rough work yester day afternoon as they concluded their practice session for the day with the initial scrimmage of the year late Wednesday after noon. Charley Brock, excused to take his part In the "registration mill; Marv Plock, favoring a leg Injury, and Lloyd Grimm, care ful of an attack of bolls on his neck were the only squad mem bers not taking part in the scrimmage. Bob Burruss, Omaha soph, took Brock's place in the first string line; Ray Prochaska, Ulysses, handled Grimm's spot, and Harry Hopp, Hrstlngs back, took over Plock's position. Hopp, Herm Rohrig, and George Porter figured im the scoring, with Hopp and Porter scoring touchdowns, Rohrig a placement. Only casualty re sulting was a broken nose on Bill Iverson, guard, which will keep the lad out for a day or so. Cornhusker backfield assign ments were shifted Wednesday morning, with Marv Ptock, Lincoln speedster, reporting: in uniform. Ploek had been taking things easy in ine infirm ary, resting' an Injured leg for the first few days of the practice. Harry Hopp, Hastings sophomore was shifted to a sec ond string half back post to make way for I'lock. The first Robert Kahler and Lloyd Grimm at ends. Bob Mills and Forrest Benin, tackles; Adna Dobson and Bill Pfieff, guards; Charley Brcck, center. Among the other ends, Ken Shindo appears most likely tn break the first string, with Sam Schwartzkopf a fair bet to dis place Belim or Mills at tackle. Center Bob Burruss of Omaha will probably draw No. 2 center spot this year behind the redoubtable Charley Brock.

Twenty of these are lettermen, which means no one should under rate the Gophars. Minnesota's first game is against the Huskies from Washington. and Nebraska's chances against Minnesota would probably be. better if the Gophers happen to win that first game... after a somewhat disastrous sea son (for Minnesota anywayi last year, the Gophers are out to re gain their former ranking as No. t team in this man's country, and Nebraska is one. perhaps the high est hurdle in their path. A win over Washington would give them something to ease over, while a loss to the Huskies would ncces-j sarilv drive them harder and set their minds more to the task of beating Nebraska .. .they're out for revenge as it is.

Ana ii noiu ut eventful manner, second and third stringers will do most of the work, and then the steam roller will steam. Pitt doesn't have the easiest schedule of any big team, but it certainly doesn't have the most difficult. . .Minnesota probably has that spot, playing Big Ten teams, Washington, Nebraska and other major tntcrsectionals. Pitt has. in the past, played weak, underdog teams at the first of the season, not mentioning any schools. . .but those teams simply were not trie standard of a team that should have a game scheduled with the Panthers. No Set-Up. Nebraska hasn't a bed of roses schedule either. True, many times, some of the Big Six op ponents are much weaker than the Huskers, but of late, most of the conference members have been giving the Huskers a run for their money. Kansas and Oklahoma last year played the Biffer's boys to standstills. Kan sas State came too close for any Emount of comfort. Iowa State fought hard until lack of re serves and weight disadvantage beat them down ... no, Ne braska can't be accused of sluff ing so far as scheduling tough teams is concerned. This year, Sutherland brings his Panthers to Memorial stadium. . . Last year's game in Panther hol low was one of the best games of the season even though the Husk ers were on the short end of a 13 to 7 score, as Rabbit Dodd skipped some 70 yards with a punt return. Brute strength, reserves, weight ... all came to Jock's aid . , . the Huskers fought hard, rs hard as they were able but were unable to stem the steam rolling Panthers in that last quarter , . . this year may see the same thing happen. No Takers. No coach Nebraska has would be willing to stack a bet that Ne braska will take either Minnesota or Pitt. Many fans consider the Minnesota game a fluke. It's true Minnesota had a distinct edge in yardage and first downs ... so did Pitt. Yet the scores were close, and the games were packed with thrills. Whether Messrs. Jones, Ly man, Presnell, and Browne can mold a line that will hold the Gophers and the Panthers and a backfield that will fool that pair, remains to be seen. The back field job will not be as difficult to solve as will the barricading problem ... all we can do Is wait , . . and hope.

Eugene Littler, one of the great est prep stars ever produced by the Cornhusker state is back after spending last year at Compton junior college In California. Littler is a splinter in track and u half back in football. Another trans fer is Dick Liake, 202 tackle from Hastings, who attended St. Bene dicts at Atchison, Kansas, last year. Also out of the 1,700 freshmen were Herb Grote and Jerry Dutcher, the boys who led Omaha Benson to many a victory last year. I Dutcher was one of the highest scorers in basketball Benson has ever had, and Grote is holder of the state record in the javelin. Both will participate in football, basketball and track. Jerry Nem itz, small hut mighty product of Hastings, expected to go far in football, basketball and tennis, is also on hand. Two of tho bigger boys that enrolled were Vic Schleich from Lincoln, hovering close to 220 pounds, and Henry Rohn from Kremont, Schleich put the shot and played tackle at Lincoln high last year. Rohn, apparently in fine physical shape, is the best man Fremont has sent to the Cornhuslters in years.
