Sunday. April 25, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKA Page 3 . Second Stringers Defeat No. 1 Team Saturday, 6-0 The Husker gridiron team was one week nearer the end of spring drills after a lengthy scrimmage session Saturday afternoon on the practice field inside the stadium. Potsy Clark lined about half his squad into four teams who battled it out for two hours in the sultry air. prob- With half of what will ably be Clark's starting backfield next fall on the sidelines, few outstanding runs were noted. Cletus Fischer, shifty St. Edward halfback, and Junior Collopy.hard driving fullback from Scottsbluff, both watched proceedings from the sidelines in sweat clothes. Both boys will close their colleg iate playing careers after next season. Shoulder Burden With so much of the first stringer's attack gone, Jerry Fer guson and Dutch Meyers had to carry the load. They did pretty well, too. Ferguson's passes were still the best on the field, and the Scottsbluff youngster did some hard, shifty running. Meyers and Don Bloom, the other first string halfback, shoul dered most of the charging bur den ably. Clark opened the session by sending the first string against the second in an hour scrimmage, and then followed with the third versus the fourth string. The sec ond team won 6-0 and the fourth string took home a 12-6 verdict. Passing and line plunges were the order of the day in both games. After see-sawing back and forth for most of the scrimmage, the yellow-jersied second string ers were awarded the ball on the 10 yard line. They scored on the second play when End Howard Fletcher was interferred - with while trying to field a pass in the end zone. Scores First In the second game, the fourth team scored first after Center Unger intercepted a pass from Bruce Bergquist and returned it 30 yards to the third team's nine yard line. After three unsuccess ful line piays, Bob Ackerman whipped a pass to Goracke for a six-pointer. The blue-clad third team re taliated on a long pass from Berg quist to Don Sailors, tying the score. The Reds broke the tie in the closing minutes when Rich Novak slipped through the middle of the line and broke to the right to cross the goal standing up. Standouts In the second game, the pass ing of Bruce Bergquist and the shifty running and quick tossing of little Bob Ackerman stood out.

Jack Kleinkoff was the hero for the independents as he drop ped in all 8 of the Muscle Men's points. Don Hines scored the SAEs' lone basket, and the other two points were picked up via the free throw circle. The game was one of the roughest of the season, but most of the roughness was clean, hard playing.
