SEVEN
DAILY NEBRASKAN
The other five's family affairs...
Oklahoma
Kansas
Kansas State
Elmer Hackney, the One Man
Gang, will lead Kansas State's
gridiron hopes this year, as the
potential all-American comes back
for his last year. He has learned
to pass, and will have three good
men, Elmer Niemann, Melvin See
lye, and Jim Brock with him in
the backfield, with Merle Whit
lock and Art Kirk in reserve.
Ends are no problem, what with
Don Crumbaker, all-conference
material, and Don Munzer, another
letterman holding down stalling
positions at present. A talented
group of squadmen and sopho
mores furnish reserves.
Filling the post of tackle Shir
ley Davis after a week of practice
is Ralph Huffman, his understudy
last year, Joe DeBord and Ken
Makalous, both veterans, are also
in the running. Bill Beezley will
be at the other tackle, and Bernie
VVciner is back at one guard. At
Staley Pitts' old guard post will
probably be a sophomore, Ed
Huff, 205 pounder, or 166 pound
Charles Fairman. To replace Ken
Nordstrom at center comes his
understudy last year Faul Hannah.
Missouri
Don Faurot's boys will be in the
thick of the Big Six fight again as
Paul Christman, one of the best
passers in the country leads them
into the gridiron grind. The Tiger
backfield will probably have Bob
Faurot, Jim Starmer and Bill
Cunningham along .with Christ
man. Faurot and Starmer are vet
erans, while Cunningham was
forced out of competition last year
by a broken leg. Ronald King, a
sophomore, is giving Faurot a
battle, while Jerry Notowitz, Star
mer's replacement, is on the in
jury list. Jerry Davis is a good
sophomore prospect.
The Orf twins, Ronald and Rob
ert, will probably hold down the
end positions, unless Stillman
Rouse, pass grabbing Adonis beat3
one of them out. Captain Kenny
Haas will be at one tackle and Bob
Wakeman, a squadman at the
other, unless sophomore Ray Dodd
comes thru to get Wakeman's po
sition. Guards will be well cov
ered by Bob Waldorf, Lowell
Pickett, and George Ellis, but the
big job will be to replace center
Jack Kinni.son. That task will lie
between Don Duchck, 190, and
Charley Moser, a 170 pound spitfire.
Iowa State
Loss of Henry Wilder for the
year because his parents' objection
to his playing football leaves the
Cyclones pretty well shot in the
backfield, but all is not lost at
Ames.
Returning at ends are Captain
Martin Boswell and Bill Bliss, who
was told he could play football by
Mayo Brothers after an earlier
medical decree had ruled him out.
Bob Moody, who won a frosh
numeral at Nebraska several years
ago, will probably be at one tackle,
while Bernard Mickelson, a sopho
more, and Howard Buck a veteran,
will fight it out for the other posi
tion. Three veteran guards, Duncan
Glab, Ernest Mueller, and Tom
Smith, will try to make the Ames
campus forget Ed Bock. Jack
West, a fine center, will hold down
that position. Don Griswold, Merle
Osborne and Lindsey Vinsel, all
veterans, a-nd the two latter 200
pounders, will probably compose
three-fourths of the backfield.
Hugh Vickerstaff, Howard Medin,
Bill Lechtenburg and Bob Barrow
are veterans from last year, and
Wilder's successor will probably
come from one of that group.
Prospects at Oklahoma are for
a bigger, faster eleven, although
Coach Tom Stidham is worried
about lack of experience in the
backfield, as the Sooners lost five
of their best backs, including all
conference Hugh McCullough.
Gone also from Oklahoma are ail
American end Waddy Young and
guard Jim Thomas.
The veteran line will include let
termen Frank Ivy and John Shirk
at ends, tackles Gil Duggan and
Justin Bowers, Ralph Stephenson
and J. R. Manley at guards and
Novel Wood or Clifton Speegle at
center. Jerry Bolton, regular guard
last year, is still bothered by a
fractured knee received in the
Oklahoma A. & M. game.
An all-veteran combination of
Bill Jennings, Bob Seymour, Beryl
Clark and Dick Favor may start
the early games, but before long
two sensational sophomores, Jack
Jacobs, a Creek Indian, and Or
ville Matthews, fine sprinter, may
crash the starting lineup. Howard
McCarthy, running star, is out of
football because of a broken hip.
Paul Woodson, giant blocking
back, is the dark horse of the
sophomore crew, and he along with
soph tackle Roger Eason look to
be slated for stardom.
Twenty-two lettermen are re
porting for football practice at
Kansas U. to Coach Gwinn Henry,
who will coach the Jayhawks for
the first time this year.
At one end will be Steve Renko,
veteran from last year while John
Berge and Russ Chitwood, letter
men, and squadman Ralph Schaake
fight it out for the other position.
Monte Merkel, 220 pound letter
man, and Jim Holloway and W. F.
Jack, big sophomores, will take
care of the tackle positions.
The Jays are well fortified at
guard, where last year's regukirs,
Quido Massarc, and Mike Sihla
nick hold forth. Jack Turner and
Dan Naramore, veterans, are
scrapping for center.
Dick Amcrine, Milt Sullivant,
Frank Bukaly and Bill Bnssen.
have been working in the back
field, and the all-letterman com
bination looks good. Ralph Miller,
soph sensation last year, has the
doctor's okay to play despite an
injured knee, but may not see
much service. Bussen, a 205 pound
fullback is one of the hardest hit
ting Jay backs since Jim Haunch.

ing the ball. An interception halted
their goal ward march, and the
Greens took over. Most of the play
was carried on between the two
forty yard lines for the remainder
of the quarter. Alfson, Treston and
Monsky turned in some good work
for the Red line, while Blue Meier,
and Hopp were the big guns in the
Green defense.
With the two starting teams
bark into the lineup, the Greens
got down inside the thirty with
Hopp doing most of the running,
getting 33 on one attempt and 16
on another. Herndon, Alfson and
Monsky were submarining to make
mime nice tackles.
The Reds were completing passes
to Rain as they t to the Green

18 yard pass to Roy Petsch which
got the Reds to the Greens' 12,

Final score of the day came
when Chick Carper blocked a

other long scrimmage is on slate
for Saturday, what with only a
few practice sessions left in prepa

As I See Ss
BY JUNE BIER BOWER.
Jerry Prochaska, sophomore
end candidate, has run up quite a
scoring mark the pnst week in
practice. Tuesday afternoon he
got two touchdowns, and again
yesterday he scored two more.
Mcbbe he's going to be an oppor
tunist like Larry Kelley (we mean
on the football field, not in jour
nalistic endeavors.)
Jim Wertmann, Villisca, Iowa
Lboy, who was a member of the
Husker frosh football squad last
year, is out for freshman football
at Iowa State this fall. . .Lyle Vil
son, former Omaha Central cage
star, and the ace of Creighton's
frosh team last year, has enrolled
here... The NU school f journal
ism, that good old alma mammy,
has among its freshmen Clyde
"Hank" Taylor, star Lexington
hurdler, and Max Young, Bethany
athlete.
While speaking of the south
west, we notice that Fred Thorn
sen, former Husker player, will
have a line averaging a cool 216
pounds this fall... the Razorba ks,
largely a sophomore team last
year, might be terrific this fall. . .
Thomsen has 18 men over 200
pounds, and they're real two hun
dred pounders 225, 215, etc., with
few under 210... Saul Singer, a
sophomore from Brooklyn, is 6-4
and weighs 251... end John Frei
berger, a 6-8 boy, is pretty frail,
though . . . he's a meusley 21 2
pounder.
