Fourteen Hoosier Veterans
Will Face Huskers Saturday
Husker gridmen again wont
about their tasks seriously yester
day, realizing that Saturday's task
is cut out for thenw Top task is
to "stop Hillenbrand" with his
mates second in importance.
Husker fa'ns haven't yet forgot
ten the 1941 Hoosier fray wherein
Master Hillenbrand, aided by di
minutive Chuck Jacoby, surprised
the Cornhuskers, 21-13. It won't
be a surprise this term. Hillen
brand and Jacoby are back, plus
a raft of capable sophomores and
1941 lettermen.
A majority ot the drill yester
day went to tightening the Husker
pass defense. Big Howard Debus
was tossing strikes at the third
Team while the first team took the
defense against Indiana plays used
by the frosh dub. Debus was toss
ing with fiery accuracy, indicat
ing Nebraska may have an aerial
say of its own.
Ki Eisenhart with a sore kwiee,
Fred Metheny recovering from a
chest cold, and Wally Hopp missed
over half of the drill.
Mentor Presnell can field a
dozen men who saw action against
the Hoosiers a year ago. Bo Mc
Millin has fourteen gridsters back
who saw action a year ago. In
diana's forward wall outweighs the
Scarlet line, 201 pounds to 193.
Backfield average also favors the
Hoosiers, 188-184.

Captain to Load
Eleven Saturday
If there is one individual on
the Husker team that the Hoos
iers will be watching Saturday
it is sure to be Allen Zikmund.
During his collegiate football
career "Zik" has played against
the Indianans twice scoring
touchdowns in both contests.
Two years ago he took a pass
from Harry Hopp for the
touchdown which gave Nebras
ka a 13-7 victory. Last year
on a short reverse he ran 36
yards to give the Huskers a 6-0
lead, but the Big Ten repre
sentatives won 21-13
..In naming Zikmund, game
captain for Saturday's game,
Coach Presnell had .in mind
"Zik's" success against Indiana.

That grey-haired old Hoosier daddy with the youthful zip

sophomore or two 1o add to the junior trio of Bill Hillenbrand,
Lou Saban, and Chuck Jacoby.
Another Tommy Harmon in-lhe-making, according to
justly proud Bloomington partisans, is sweeping through his
paces this week in preparation for his Saturday stand against
the Huskers.
AW Billy Hillenbrand did as a sophomore last year was
spin to seven touchdowns, play more than :U quarters out of
a possible .2, account for J,(iir yards in all-route gains, pass
for seven touchdowns, earn All-American rating on three teams
(as a soph!) and rated "player of the Big Ten season."
We now quote an item from the Hoosier house organ:
"Hillenbrand has shown in practice that he will be even more
potent."
In Ihe supporting east for Hillenbrand Productions we
have Chuck Jacoby, a stellar pass-snatcher and pass defender.
Opposing aerial specialists failed last year to complete one
pass over Jacoby 's territory.
Capt. Bob White bucked his way a 5.4 average in 71 attempts
last year as a Hoosier fullback. Signal-barker Lou Saban, de
scribed by Bo as "tougher than pig iron from bumper to
bumper" is back for more bone-crusing blocks.
Bo continues: ""We have one pai rof fine ends. Our
guards are green but they have fine physical equipment to
play that rugged position. John Bochnicka, Howard Brown,
I Vancis Linonis and Joe Zuzga are spohomores who have a lot
of speed for boys over 185.
"Bochnicka should be a great guard 103 pounds and can
run like a halfback. The joker is ,howcver, he never played
any football but even at that I have high hopes for him."
bochnicka at the moment is Indiana's third ranking guard.
