. 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.

Championship
In the final game of the 1948
water basketball season, the
Muscle Men, an independent or
ganization, won the all-university
championship by swamping the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon crew by a
score of 8 to 4.
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.
Besides taking first place in the
fraternity division of waterbasket
ball, the Sig Alphs added another
first place to their growing string
when they defeated Phi Delta
Theta in the finals of the intra
mural volleyball playoffs, taking
the first and third games to gain
first place in the final standings.
