THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
PAGE 3
With their final Big Six game of theyear drawing
near, the 1 Nebraska Cornhuskers Wednesday afternoon
ran through a rehearsal of offensive formations followed
by a quick dummy scrimmage ,under the watchful eye of
Headcoach Bernie Masterson. Only casualty during the
brief scrimmage was Halfback
Kenny Fischer who suffered a
possible fractured ankle and will
be out of action for the Oklahoma
game Saturday.
Spirit in the -4Iusker camp
seemed to be reaching a high ebb
Wednesday as three full teams
ran through their drills in antici
pation of a tough game Saturday.
In the first unit Masterson had
the same set of linemen that
Tuesday's workout showed with
Cochrane nnd Pesek at end, Wil
kins and Loronz at guards, Sam
uelson and Toogood at tackles,
and Novak at center. In the back
field Dick Thomson ran with the
vrh if- Pti
John Rapacs
Jim Tyre
first outfit at quarterback, Dale
Adams was at full, and Bill
Mueller, Jim Myers and Bill
Moomey traded off at the half
back post. The second string
backfield saw Del Wiegand call
ing jthe signals with Dick Hutton
and Junior Callopy at the halves,
and DarwinASalstrom at full.
Jampke Returns.
Gerald Jacupke was in suit
Wednesday night and participated
In the workout while still favor
ing a twisted knee. His avail
ability for Saturday is still doubt
ful and he will see limited action
if any.
Nebraska will be up against
the tops in every department
Saturday when the Sooners take
the field. In the punting de
partment, Darrell Royal, brilliant
Sooner kicking star has a 40.5
punt average to his credit, beat
ing Nebraska's Pesek by .4 of
a yard. Royal's spot kicking
played a major role in the de
feat of the Missouri Tigers last
week at Columbia. Oklahoma
also had to its credit one of the
better defensive lines of the Big
Six led by Jim Tryee. Tryee
who has played a tremendous
game of end for Coach Bud Wil
kinson all season. Anchoring the
Sooner line is big John Rapitch
who last year was a unanimous
selection for the pivot position on
the all Big Six team.
The Sooners will be fresh from
Missouri victory while the Hus
kers are still smarting from close
loss to a tough Kansas outfit.
Nebraska will have to reach that
high peak that almost meant a
victory over the Jayhawks Sat
urday for the Oklahomans have
it in all departments and they
certainly will be out to fire all
guns -come this Saturday.
Miller's Gym
Artists Show
Bright Hopes
Coach Charlie Miller's Univer
sity of Nebraska gymnastic team
is receiving strenuous workouts
in the coliseum gym in prepara
tion for the rugged season ahead.
Nine meets have already been
scheduled.
'I feel we are farther ahead
in conditioning than we were lost
year at this time and our pros
places and meets are brighter
this year." This statement by
Coach Miller expresses the con
fidence he shows in his men al
though he will make no predic
tions as to the outcome of any
meets.
The team is built around re
turning lettermen Phil Sprague,
Leo Geier, Clarence Lefler, Gene
Sundeen, and Ken Harding.
Other returning squad men are
Bill Rankin. Mel James, Charles
Purdy, Wilson Lockett and Lloyd
Garner. Among new men out
this year, Jim Johnson is show
ing the greatest progress, with
Norman Anderson pushing him
for a place on the team. Freshr
men Al Dunavn and Eddie
Craren are showing great pros
pect for the future.
Intra-Squad Meets
Two or three intra-squad
meets will be held before the
opening meet to determine team
standing. Coach Miller is plan
ning to use a ten man traveling
squad.
Miller said that satisfactory
progress has been made on all
events but the flying rings and
tumbling. Lack of facilities have
slowed progress on the rings
while lack of material and in
sufficient workouts on the mat
have hindered the tumbling
event.
The assistance of Coach Jake
Geier has greatly contributed to
the present condition of the
team.
Injuries Costly
Injuries have added to the
team woes with the loss of Mel
James, out of action as the re
sult of badly torn muscles in his
right leg. At present James can
only walk on crutches and there
is a possibility that he will be
out of action for the rest of the
season. Phil Sprague was limit
ed to light workouts for two
weeks with an injured elbow.
The schedule as announced
thus far is: Jan. 10, Illinois at
Champaign; Feb. 7, Illinois at
Lincoln; Feb. 14, Minnesota at
Minnapolis; Feb. 21, Colorado
State College and Minnesota at
Lincoln; March 5 Colorado at
Buolder; March 6. All College
