Gridders Sent
Against Single
Wing Offense
Nebraska's spring footballers
got their first taste of hard de
fensive work Monday afternoon as
Coach Bill Glassford scheduled a
short defensive scrimmage against
a single wing team.
Fundamentals were the order of
the day for the first part of the
workout and then the squads con
centrated on pass defense and
pass scrimmaging. The extra point
specialists also got in a workout
on place kicking.
One group of the squad worked
on the single wing formation for
the first part of the session and
then ran it against the first two
varsity squads in the short scrim
mage. THE SINGLE WING team was
made up of Sell, Hewitt and
Peters, ends; Nielson and Peder
son, guards; and Shaffer and
Lliteras, tackles. Center was taken
over by Moritz. In the backfield
were Jones and Carroll at the
quarter slot, Gurnett at tail, Reidy
and Ritter at full, and McCurdy
and Harrison at the wingback
position.
The varsity squads were made
up of the same two teams which
scrimmaged last Saturday.
