Nebraska football followers may
think they are seeing things when
they take a look at the Scarlet
gridders during spring practice
periods.
Joe Partington, sterling center
on last fall's team, and a threat
for all -Big Six honors until a
"broken hand halted him late in
the season, has moved into the
ranks of the quarterbacks.
Tho .Toe has not been active in
backfirld duties during any part
of his collegiate career, he did
uncork some fleet-footed tactics
while playing for North Carolina
Tre-Fliffht against Navy in 1945.
During the contest Joe gobbled
up a Navy fumble and zoomed
to the touchdown which defeated
the Middies.
To make up for Partington's
shift, husky Tom Novak, a bruis
ing fullback if there ever was one,
has stepped up to the center ranks.
Novak's vicious line backing abil
ity will not be lost by the trans
fer, but it will be up to the Scarlet
coaching staff to uncover another
fullback powered by the same
caliber of explosives as Novak
seemed to possess.
A third link is included in the
chain of changes, for Dale Adams,
promising Randolph freshman
halfback last fall, has been in
cluded in the fullback list. Adams
is ( Vf"-?.

HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP Mike DiBiase became the first Ne
braska Big Six wrestling champion bringing home the conference
heavyweight crown from the loop grappling meet at Ames, Iowa,
late this month. DiBiase lost only one bout this season, a close
pionship in the heavyweight division in the NCAA meet at Illinois
late this month. OiBiase lost only one bout this season, a close
decision to Verne Gagne of Minneapolis, and drew with the Cor
nell College heavyweight.

started the 1946 season with the
varsity, but was sent to the Nub
bins for more seasoning. No
players have shifted to halfback
to replace Adams, but a couple of
newcomers have captured the eye
of observers.
Bill Mueller, trigger - quick
starter who performed with the
Corpus Christi service team last
fall, has shown to. advantage in
early workouts, and Charlie Har
rington, Auburn back who was
among the nation's top ten pass
receivers while playing at Wash
ington & Lee last season, is an
other take-notice newcomer.
Still another transfer is the
movement of Fran Mandula from
he end prospects to the guard
squad. Mandula figures to use
his bulk1 to better advantage at
a guard berth.
Whether or not the changes will
be permanent is another thing.
Partington will have to develop
into a passer to handle the T
formation quarterback slot with
top efficiency. Novak's absence
from the fullback ranks means
that someone else will have to
step forward as a line crasher.
Stfll another problem is Adams'
absence from the halfback posi
tion where his height could be
used with good effect.
Nebraska halfbacks last fall
were notable for their lack of
height when it came to pass de
fense. Dick Hutton, Bill Moo
mey, Jim Myers and Cletus
Fischer were not able to outleap
the opposition's bigger ends and
backs for passes, and Adams' 6
feet 1 Inch stature would come
in mighty handy.
All of the foregoing transfers
are to be expected during spring
workouts, for coaches have enough
time to experiment with the play
ers, and the changes may not be
permanent. The shifts are appre
ciated tho, for they furnish fresh
news from what usually is an
essential but hardly sensational
part of building a football team.

LAWRENCE, Kas. "If the con
ference football race is as tough
as this spring practice weather,
next season sure will be a rough
one."
The speaker was George Sauer,
pilot of last year's co-champion
Kansas football club who gave the
school its best grid season in 35
years. The big coach meant every
word of it too as he looked out
his office window on the second
floor of Robinson gym at another
mid-March snow fiurry.
"It's the worst I've ever seen,"
Sauer continued. We had to post
pone the opening: of sprinng prac
tice a week and then when we do
fret started we're held up further
by snow and rain."
So far spring practice in the
Jayhawker camp has been limited
almost entirely to viewing movies,
exchanging diagrams .and plan
ning experiments in personnel.
The Jays have put together only
four hours on the field since their
scheduled start March 3. Even
