Thursday. October 5. 1939 The DAILY NEBRASKAN 7 tonnes sends team trough BltM drill '5w Goroher samnie Huskers go through last stiff workout before Minnesota tilt By John McDermott. Coach Biff Jones had his squad working in high pear yesterday afternoon as the Minnesota game draws near. Rain cut short the workout yesterday but the Husk ers had about 90 minutes of stiff drill before they were chased in side. The end and b&ckfield men were working on passes both on the of fensive and defensive, and were running through some new plays especially designed for Minnesota. The linemen were on the defense against a freshman team using Minnesota power and line plays. Both outfits spent about 40 min utes working on these two phases. lb Stresses passing. Later Jones assembled his squad into teams and had them working against each other. He was par ticularly stressing the passing at tack and was also pointing out mistakes in the defense of the second team. He then switched and had his first team on the de fense and the second outfit was throwing aerials. Particular stress was also put on protection for the passer, and it was noticed that blocking was picking up. Jones had almost all of his first three squads working and was giving them all an equal chance to demonstrate their ability. He was mixing the line-ups consider ably in working out a satisfactory starting combination. He has made no comments upon his changes and refuses to divulge a probable starting eleven.

Generally speaking, Minnesota's tackles have less experience than the Huskers. Of course, no Nebraskan can match the 420 minutes experience Capt. Win Pedersen, who also let tered in Ma sophomore term, got last year. However, the only other experienced tackle on the squad, Syrus Johnson, a senior, and the other starter, got in only three games last year, playing but 15! 2 minutes. Neil Litman. 195 pounds. Carl Magnussen, 215, and Urban Olson, 225, were on the Bquad last year, but had no experience in games. The Huskers are outweighted, with Royal Kahler being the heaviest at 21S. Kahler played "less than 100 minutes last year as did Sam Schwartzkopf, altho Sam got a major letter two years ago, and should get an other this year if he plays as he did against Indiana. Leonard Muskin won a major letter as a guard last season, while Forrest Bchm was the regular Husker right tackle. Tho there's not as much bulk there, the Husker tackles as a whole have been thru tougher battles than the Cophers. RALLY DANCE 9-12 o'clock IOC Person DAVE HAUN'S ORCHESTRA, , i i . : u .
