That may well be the cry of Coach Bo McMillan's Indiana Hoosiers when they invade Memorial Stadium Saturday, Sept. 27, to test Bernie Mas terson's second "T" edition. The Hoosiers have pasted six successive defeats on the Huskers since 1911 for all of their wins in the 11-game series. Nebraska has won three while two ended in deadlocks. Not like Heinz 57 Varieties, but almost so, is the assort ment of jobs Masterson's Huskers held during the summer months. To mention a few: Back to the farm went Ralph Damkroger to put on deight and size. Jim Myers also toughened up with work on his father's Iowa farm. Jack Pesek, Rex Hoy and Gen Sim also turned to this tvpe of .1 $ .. d C Headmaster Bornie Masterson's varsity Cornhuskers romped to a six touchdown, 38-0 victory over the Nubbins in a two hour long scrimmage session rt Memorial Stadium behind closed gates Sat urday afternoon. Off to a slow start the Reds got rolling after Center Robert Cos tello intercepted a B forward pass picked up a wall of blockers, and raced 75 yards to a touchdown. Costello missed the conversion at tempt. Coach Ray DcBolt's Nubbins threatened early in the first period after recovering Junior Collopy's fumble on - the 20 yard line. A drive highlighted by a forward from Kutsdhow to Finstrom car ried to the five yard marker be fore the Reds took over. The Nubbins forward wall cli maxed a brilliant goal line stand early in the second canto by smearing Bill Moomey on the 2 foot line. Scoville kicked out ot danger, but on the first play from scrimmage, Bill Mueller streaked 25 yards to a touchdown. Cos tello's kick was good. Kicks Dominate. A series of quick kicks domi nated play through the remainder of the period. The Blues started the third pe riod from their own 20. Kenny Brooker Hipped to Pauley for 30 yards before the B crew was forced to punt. Myers was tossed for a ten yard loss on a naked reverse before Quarterback Del Wiegand pitched a perfect strike to Bob Ackerman which carried for 75 yards and six points. Cos tello's conversion attempt was blocked. Wiegand hit Ralph Damkroger on the first play in the fourth quarter for 50 yards and another varsity TD. Again the conversion attempt failed. The Nubbins' scrappers wilted as Myers scampered 60 yards with Devish's punt to hike the tally to 31-0. The Reds' final drive was sparked by a Wiegand flip for 25 yards to Hutton and a jump pass to Ed Nyden. George Bost wick ' capped the drive with an 18-yard gallop around left end. Costello's kick was good. Line Play Ragged Ragged line play left much to be desired by Line Tutor Tony Blazine before the Indiana fra cas a week hence. Masterson's quarterback prob lem took a severe blow when little Dick Thompson, just back in action after a shoulder bruise mended, twisted a knee. Thompson may be lost for the u. . F ft. S.. V t u . 7- NUBBINS BACK SCOVILLE punts one from his own end zone after his teammates had held the varsity for four downs inside the 10 yard stripe. One play later. Bill Mueller broke loose and scored from 25 yards out. Physical Exams Physical examinations for freshman and varsity candi dates for the basketball, wrest ling and track teams will be held Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the training room in the Field House, Trainer Elwyn Dees an nounced. No equipment will be issued until the examinations have been taken, Dees said. Dodgers Near Pennant With about a week of play left in the majors, Brooklyn owns a commanding lead in the National circuit but can't seem to put on the clincher. Either a Dodger win or a St. Louis loss will give Burt Shotton's charges the pennant, the first one for Brooklyn since 1941. Saturday night the Cardinals won their second straight from the Chicago Cubs, 5-0. Hoosier opener next Saturday.

Grid fundamentals the Ne braska way were the principal schooling the boys received. Line men were drilled on charging from their positions while the backs were run through ball handling on the "T" formation. The freshman teams are to have no intercollegiate but only inter- and intra-squad games. A few of the boys, however, will make the trip to Manhattan for the Kansas State game. ! outdoors work. Jim Thomson roughed it on his Taylor ranch. Familiar facees around Lincoln were those of Mike DiBiase, Dale Adams and Gail Gade. All three served with the Lincoln police force. Dick Hutton was a playground supervisor at Auburn. Cletus and Kenny Fischer worked as carpenters and played a little baseball as a sideline activity. Bruising Tom Novak worked for an electric company in Omaha. Johnny Sedlacek worked in the same field in Lincoln. Bob Ackerman labored with a street construction gang in Sidney and Francis Mandula worked in a Youngs town, O., steel mill. When Sam Francis' Kansas State eleven tangled with Oklahoma A & M on the Manhatten gridiron Saturday night, it marked the first time a Big Six conference team competed under lights on a home field. It was way back in 1940 when the Cornhuskers last brought home a Big Six football crown. With a line com parable to the block busters tutored by Biff Jones during that regime, Masterson's 1947 dark horse Nebraskans bear heavy consideration in loop play this fall. A '47 grid title would give the Huskers a .500 batting average over a 20 year span of conference play.
