New Husker Football Coach Arrives

Greet Young
Grid Leader
BY HARLAN BEIDECK
Sport ;
The University of Nebraska
put out the welcome mat Wed
nesday afternoon, and across it
.stepped the new head master of
football, J. William Glassford.
Weary after two days of driving
from Pittsburgh, Glassford greet
ed his welcomers with "I'm sure
glad to be here."
And that feeling was more than
mutual with Athletic Director
George "Potsy" Clark and his
staff as they greeted the man on
whose shoulders rest Cornhusker
gridiron hopes.
Glassford appeared ready to
step on to the playing field and
lead a fast charging line as he
did during his own Collegiate
days at Pitt, with 212 pounds
packed on his 5 foot 10 inch
frame. Only a receeding hairline
gave a clue to his 35 years.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT he met
with Clark and Dr. Walter Beggs,
chairman of the Athletic Board,
presumably to discuss the hiring
of assistants and administrative
details. Glassford said he had sev
eral men in mind but couldn t
make a statement until he knew
what the setup would be
"ABfcve all, I want assistants
who will have confidence in me
and I in them. Coaching a foot
ball team is more than a on
man job." was his reply to what
he said were requirements lor
his aides.
The former New Hampshire
mentor said he would not be able
to decide on the formations he will
use until he has looked over the
material. However, he did show
that he favored the T-formation,
which he used at the New Eng
land school with much success.
"I am highly in favor of the
two-platoon system," the Husker
coach declared. "I think it adds to
the proficiency of the game and
increases spectator interest.
"At New Hompshire, I wasn't
able to use it as we had only 40
men on the squad, forcing us to
use the boys offensively and de
fensively," he added.
k'hon atifpri if he minht use the
old powerhouse tactics employed
by his college coach. Dr. Jock
, Sutherland, Bill said, "One thing
is certain, we will play Dr. Suth
erland's style as far as good sound
fundamentals are concerned."
WHILE NO ONE present at the
welcoming and familiar w ith the
Husker fortunes of the past few
seasons was brave enough to come
out with a direct opinion on next
fall's showing, Glassford must
have done a little mind reading
for he added a final note of, "One
thins sure, well at least look like
a ball club next fall."
A heavy schedule faces the new
coach during the next week,
among them the problems of sign
ing his assistants, drafting plans
for spring drills, and getting
acquainted with varsity prospects,
department personnel, students
and faculty. Friday noon N-man
Fred Metheny, student member of
- the Athletic Board, will introduce
Glassford at an All-University
welcome luncheon. Regents, Ath
letic Board Members and campus
leaders have been invited.

The oldest record on the Intra- I
mural Indoor track and f ield i
books fell Wednesday night when
Don Rice, Alpha lau um?ga,
went over the high jump bar at
6 feet ii inch.
Rice's leap cracked a standard
5 feet 11 inches that has held up
since 1930 when two jumpers,
Lee and Cook, cleared that
height.
The blue ribbon also boosted
Alpha Tau Omega's leading total,
coupled with Gene Deeter's sixth
in the one-lap run and a tie for
sixth in the high jump, to 29
points, nine and a half more than
challenging Sigma Phi Epsilon.
DELTA LTSILON holds third
place with 18'?, while Phi Delta
Theta is fourth with 17. The
other team scores are:
Phi Gamma Delta. 16: Beta
Theta Pi, 10; Sigma Chi, 9';

day's prelims and tied it again

Thursday night the team cham-
Claude Retherford, University
basketball quarterback, is estab
lishing a third Cornhusker scor
ing record.
Since coming to Nebraska in
1946, the angular (6-2) unortho
dox sharpshooter from French
Lie, Ind., has set two season
scoring marks. In 1946 Retherford
accumulated 245 points in 24
games, averaging 10.2 points per
game. Last year he cracked this
total by scoring 259 points in 24
games, averaging 10.8 points.
IN 16 CONTESTS this winter,
Retherford has chalked up an
even 200 points to pace the Big
Seven conference-leading Husk
ers. Retherford has boosted his
points-per-game average to 12.5,
