"C'mon lucky seven." 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

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.

Fundamentals
Highlight First
Frosh Try out
The first practice for the Corn
huskers of '51 brought out 103
potentials for Top Klein's first
workout Sept. 19. and a few more
are still expected to come out.
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.
