The Nebraska team may be
garbed in their new game uni
forms after nil for Saturday's
same. Although present plans call
for the Huskers to be fitted out
in khaki pants, a special effort is
being made to get the new togs
to Minneapolis for the season's
opener.
While the Minnesota fans may
not be certain of viewing Ne
braska's new suits, they will be
assured of a look at Sammy Va
canti, regular Scarlet quarter
back.
If Saturday is anything like the
Vacant! appearance In 1943, the
Norsemen may be In for ft long
afternoon. Flaying for Purdue that
season, Vacantl was the man who
rifled a touchdown pass to Half
back Brios Dlmancheff in the last
seconds of the game to give Pur
due a 14-7 victory and a share
of the Bit- Ten championship.
The Gophers had been hanging
on throughout the game and were
ready to settle for a 7-7 deadlock
before Vacanti came through with
the payoff toss.
Minnesota center Warren Beson
has a new outlook on things this
season.
Last year Beson reported to the
team in mid-season after regular
Gopher center Dick Van Dusen
had been sidelined with a shoulder
injury. The first Saturday after
he came out, Beson was shoved
into a game as the Minnesota
plight was serious.
Bierman tells it this way. "We
were so desperate that we put
him into the game despite the fact
that he had never played any
college footbalL But the worst part
of it was that he couldn't see,
either. Guys would run right past
him and he never knew they were
there."

"Beson's back this year and Is
he happy. He has contact lenses
and he can see. He came up to
me the other day and said: 'Gee,
coach, it's a lot more fun playing
now. i can really see what s go
ing on'!"
Back on the campus yesterday
was Don Yocum, promising Ne
braska distance runner from
North Platte, who entered the
army during the cummer. Yocum
was one quarter of the Nebraska
two-mile team which captured
mythical Big Six honors in the
cross country sport last fall.
All other members of that team
are also gone. Dean Kratz has
graduated, Stan Martin dropped
out of school to teach and Wayne
Roads is tied up by scholastic re
quirements in the engineering
college.
The practice fields north and
west of the coliseum are getting
plenty of usage these days, with
all kinds of Nebraska athletes
utilizing the space.
Nubbins' mentors Ray Pro-
chaska and Bob Kahler drill
their charges in one corner of the
area. Pop Klein has his freshmen
gridders spread over another por
tion of the sod. Coach Barry
Good's early season basketball
drills take np the volleyball
courts along the south border, and
several touch football fields are
laid out for use in the extensive
intramural program.
Jumbo Laundry
Bundle Ready
For lllini Team
rsy the time Notre Dame and
the Fighting lllini square off on
the Memorial Stadium sod at Ur
bana next Saturday, some 7,340
pieces of gridiron haberdashery
will have gone into the Illinois
team's weekly wash.
When the lllini trot onto the
field, their orange and blue regi
mentals will be part of a jumbo
sized laundry bundle which will
total more than 110,100 pieces of
the season plus 15 miles of ankle
wraps and bandages for the fly
ing legs of Buddy Young and
Company.
Glen Freeman, manager of the
Memorial Stadium equipment
room, and the man who makes out
the lllini laundry lists, said that
the team will dirty at least 1,468
pairs of sweat socks, and the same
number of T-shirts, supporters and
bath towels during their week's
campaign to wreck the Fighting
Irish. He pointed out that that's
washable items alone. If it rains
next Saturday, anywhere from 50
to 100 mud caked Jersey and foot
ball pants will have to be tossed
into the bundle for cleaning.

Always Tough
For Minnesota
A review of the Nebraska
Minnesota football relationship
which extends over a string of 27
games and dates back to 1900, the
first year in which the late Dr.
Henry L. Williams was at the
Gopher coaching helm, reveals
that the Cornhuskerfhave always
been tough in non-war years, even
when Minnesota was rolling along
to undefeated national champion
ship. The fact that Minnesota has
won 21 of the engagements while
losing 4 and being tied twice can't
be taken to mean that the Gophers
have had easy going in this ex
tended non-conference rivalry.
Until 1945, which must be classed
as a war-time football year be
cause of the large number of ath
letes in service, Bernie Bierman
has had a particularly difficult
time in subduing the Cornhuskers.
Tough Opposition,
In 1932, his first season at
Minnesota, the Gophers oked out
a 7-6 victory. The teams didn't
meet in 1933, but the undefeated
national championship Gopher
eleven of 1934 triumpher 20-0 for
Bierman's largest pre-war margin.
The 1935 Maroon and Gold aggre
gation which was the undisputed
national champion and one of the
greatest teams in Minnesota's his
tory, barely squeezed by the Corn
huskers, 12-7. Again in 1936, when
Minnesota topped the nation in the
A.P. national championship poll,
only a brilliant, memorable last
minute run by Andy Uram on a
lateral fr.m Bud Wllkinshin pulled
out victory, 7-0.
In 1937, at Lincoln, the Ne-
braskans came from behind an
early 9-0 deficit to win 14-9 in a
stunning upset Minnesota copped
In '38, 16-7, in another close bat
tle, but was stopped cold in 1939,
0-6. In the undefeated and na
tional championship campaigns of
1940 and '41, Bierman's high-
geared Gold-clad athletes found
the going tough against Nebras
ka, winning by the close mar
gins of 13-7 and 9-0.
Minnesota overwhelmed the all-
civilian Cornhuskers during the
war years, but Bernie Masterson s
1946 crew aims to put the series
back on its former basis. That
means trouble and plenty of it
for Minnesota Saturday at Me
morial Stadium.
laundryman alone, to keep a top
flight team rolling along the foot
ball warpath.
The two Champaign laundry-
owners (Harry Millard and Hardin
Boulware) who annually split the
Illinois job, expect to be in the
stands when the whistle blows at
kick-off time. On which side?
