Husker Mentor Wonders Until Gridders Play Coach Bcrnie Masterson of the University of Nebraska football team is perplexed. Wherever he has been lately he is met with this comment: "Well, I see you have a great football team coming up this fall." The Cornhusker coach, in foot ball for 19 years as a player and coacn, wonders now anyone is able to tell what a football team will do until it has bumped heads in actual combat with another earn. Lack of experience in the play ers now assigned to the first three teams makes their future a huge question mark. Tackles Green. There are sis? players in the first string who have had no previous experience. These six include both tackle positions. Only two players, Jack Hazen, at end, and Eddie Schwartzkopf, guard, are playing their final season. The second lineup has five freshmen .three with one year's experience and three with two years. The third lineup has six freshmen, two with a years sea soning and three with two years. "There it is reduced to basic facts," said Coach Masterson. 'And to my knowledge no one has yet figured out a substitute for experience in football." It - - )' r, i't Courtesy Lincoln Journal. DICK THOMPSON The Husk er quarterback who will see plenty of action this season in Bernie Masterson's T formation.

There's a record turnout for football new faces in the coaching ranks full schedules for Husker teams and the fromise of full stands to view these teams. Among the new faces is Harry Good, now head basketball coach Good comes to Nebraska from In diana where he had outstanding success with the Hoosier cage teams. With a nucleus for a po tentially good basketball team on the campus, Good should be the man to pull the cage sport back into the prominence it deserves in the athletic program. Another newcomer is Ilolhe Lepley, varsity swimming: coach and member of the physical ed ucation staff. He will get his first bit f action tomorrow when he directs the state high school swimming: championships which will be held during the day at the university pool in the coliseum. More new additions to the coaching family are several for mer Cornhusker football stars who have been engaged to assist Pop Klein with the Nubbins and frosh pigskin performers. Ray Prochas ka, outstanding end on the Rose Bowl squad is head coach of the Nubbins outfit, . assisted bv Bob Kahler. Bob Mehring, Bob Mc Nutt and Dale Bradley are other Huskers of by gone days back in the football picture.

The Nebraska front line will be facing the nephew of one of Minnesota's all-time greats on September 28 when Dean Wid seth, takes his position as a tackle seth .takes his position as a tackle spot against Gomer Jones' charges. Playing for Great Lakes last season, Widseth earned his spurs against top flight opposition. His coach in 1945, Paul Brown, de clared that Dean was a "humdinger." In keeping with a Husker tradi tion of long standing, only two members of the 51-man squad now considered as the Nebraska varsitv are from outside the state. End Fritz Mandula from Younusl own Ohio, and Tackle Roger Johnson oi facandia, Minnesota, who played for Potsy Clark last season as a navy unit trainee, are the two gridders who do not consider Ne braska as their home state.
