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."

No Outfits
For Cairers:
drills Near
Referees Wanted
All men interested in officiating
football and basketball games for
the intramural program are asked
to report to L. E. Means, Director
of Student Physical Education, at
his office in the coliseum.
Officials will be paid for their
services, and all applications
should be made before Sept. 24.
Famed portrait photographer
Paul Garrison recently selected
Marlene Dietrich as the most
photogenic actress in the world. He
also nominated the star of Para
mount's "Golden earrings" as
Hollywood's most co-operative
lady.
The wartime doldrums have
ended.
Athletic activity at Nebraska is
back on a peace time basis. 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. Bradlev. all
Big Six halfback several seasons
ago, is assisting Trainer Elwyn
uees with the man-sized task of
caring for the halt and lame on the
football squad.
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.

Bring Equipment.
Due to an equipment shortage
