September 27, 1946 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 3 n-i ojsckeid 0 (B CH CL D ITEEiT George With a full weekend of football coming up, a few gridiron selec tions are in order. Nebraska vs. Minnesota The first test for a couDle .if unknown quantities. Bernie Masterson has been pressed for time in his work with the Huskers, the size of the squad forcing him to spend precious days of fall drills paring i I A aown ine rosier. Up north Bernie Bierman has been able to work with the varsity men exclusively, lor other ma terial had already been srrnoH This time advantage could be the amerence. Both lines are tough and the Scarlet forwards even though out weighed will give a good account of themselves. Schwarzkopf, Lo renz, and Partington do not com pare with the Gophers in pound age, but they'll more than hold their own. Oklahoma vs. Army The Soon- ers are a good team in the mid west, but they're venturing into the football super-stratosphere when -they tackle the Cadets. Army by a comfortable margin. Missouri vs. Ohio State The Texas heat hindered the Tigers " last week. The weather should be better tomorrow, but the caliber of the opposition will still be. su perior to the' Mizzou manpower Iowa State vs. Northwestern It's Big Ten day for the Big Six members unfortunately. Anoth er win for a Western conference team even though the Cyclones will be stronger than expected. Team Pounds Give Gophers 15 Lb. Edge MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Using t the University of Minnesota "first team" lineup, which Bernie Bier- man is drilling this week as a yardstick against Bernie Master son's probable Nebraska starting lineup for twenty-eighth renewal of. the Gopher-Cornhusker series here Saturday in Memorial Sta dium, the Minnesotans will hold a 15-found-per man weight advan tage over the visitors. The Gophers average 203 pounds per man against an average of 188 pounds for the Nebraskans. There ris a difference of nine pounds per man in the respective backfields with Minnesota holding a 188 to 178 pound edge. ' Possible Changes. Three possible switches In the .Minnesota line could make a sub stantial difference. If Herb Hein recovers sufficiently from a rib injury to take the field Saturday, his 165 pounds represent a 25 pound markdown from the 190 pound weight of Harry "Bud" Grant, freshman left end. Warren Beson may get the call in place of Freshman Clayt Tonnemaker who at 220 pounds is about 25 pounds heavier than Beson. Should Coach Bierman decide to spare 215 pound Dean Widseth at left tackle to permit further recovery from practice-session injuries, 195 pound Mel Grevich would start at this post. Bernie Masterson's "probable" choices for Nebraska include five Icttermen Jack Hazen, Fred Lor- C11Z. Joe Partincrfnn VA CK, - '5.VU, utuwaiif." I kopf, and Cletus Fischer and four frosh Carl Samuelson, Ver- 4 non Stiner, Jack Pesek, and Tom ovak. Lettermen included in the likely starting choices for Min nesota are Larry Olsonoski, Chuck iJellago, Vern Gagne, Bob Sand berg? Tom Cates, and Chuck Avery. Of these men, only Ol sonoski and Cates have played lootbaU under Bierman. Probable lineups: Minnesota 185. Pf"n ,18 1'.. Halenkamp (205) Bamuelsan (220) ...It....

Carrvine the brunt nf th at. tack arainsf the Cyclones today will be several men whn hav had previous experience on the Scar let squad. VVally Hopp, Hank Rei chel and Del Weigand should form the nucleus of a. smnnth wnrlinr backfield. while North Platte's speedster. Harvv Stroud, rnnsti. tute the breakaway threat. Gail Gade and Red Nausler are among the linemen who should make it a rough afternoon for the State squad. An additional game with the University of Colorado "B" team ft; fi f fei eft r Well within Minnesota boun daries by this time, the University of Nebraska football squad will go through limbering up drills today at the Minnesota Memorial Stadium to get rid of muscle kinks picked up during the rail journey Forty-three Husker gridders, the entire varsity squad, made the jaunt after being paraded to the Burlington staation by cheering students. Coach Bernie Masterson indi cated that he would stick with the lineup that he has used through out the past two weeks of prac tice. This would mean that Jack Pesek and Jack Hazen will get the nod at the end positions, Carl Samuelson and Vern Stiner at the tackles, Fred Lorenz and Eddie Schwartzkopf at the guards, Joe Partington at center Sam Vacant! at quarterback, Dick Hutton and has been scheduled for Thursday, October 3, at Alliance, Neb.

'jUld pCiers Cletus Fischer at halfbacks, and Tom Novak at fullback. In recent drills, however, Ed Nyden has been giving Pesek spirited competition for one end position and Gene Wilkins has been pressing hard for a guard berth. Long Ready Roy Long, versatile Blair half back, is rapidly regaining his pre war form and is close behind Hutton in the scramble for the left haHback spot. Long is the best punter on the squad and in addition is an able passer and runner, although not quite as speedy as Hutton. Hazen and Schwartzkopf will serve as game captains for the tilt which is the 28th renewal of the series with the Gophers. The Minnesota eleven has won 21 of the games, lost four and two battles ended as ties. MISTAKEN IDENTITY. The picture which appeared in Thursday's Nebraskan la beled as Sam Vacant! should have been labeled as that of Carl Samuelson. ' He too will be in evidence on the football field tomorrow, but at a tackle spot.
