Husker Comeback
Rated as 'Top Story
By Jerry Warren
Most of the important sport
news the first semester had to do
with Bill Glassford's Husker grid
team so we would like to offer, as
our choice ior tne outstanding
story of that time, the stirring late
season rally staged by them.
Riding a 2 won-2 loss average.
the Cornhuskers met disaster at
the hands of powerful Oklahoma.
The Sooners, destined to become
number two team in the nationJ
handed Nebraska a crushing 48-0
defeat at Lincoln.
The Huskers soon recovered
from this setback and journeyed
to Columbia to scare a favored
Missouri team. Glassford's crew
out-played the Tigers in every de
partment and were leading Don
Faurot's men 20-7 at the start of
the fourth quarter.
In that last period, however, he
Tigers put on a rally which netted
them two touchtowns and a shaky
21-20 victorv.
COULDN'T SCORE
Inability to push over a score
kept the Huskers from registering
another Big Seven win the next
week-end. Maintaining the offen
sive stride against Missouri. Ne
braska outshone Kansas between
the ten yard lines but faltered in
the stretch to drop a 27-13 tilt.
The elements battled both the
Cornhuskers and Iowa Sate at
Emm $$$
TEMPLE BUILDING
Ames but a brilliant 70 yard run
by Senior Halfback Harry Megin
nis enabled NU to eke out a 7-0
win.
The season was ended in a vic
torious note when Nebraska drop
ped the Buffaloes from Colorado
25-14. The Huskers played their
best game of the season with long
runs by Nick Aducci and Harry
Meginnis highlighting the after
noon. THANKS TO BILL
A vote of thanks is directed to
Bill Glassford and his 1949 Corn
huskers for the best season in
many moons and a definite step up
the ladder to where Nebraska
football belongs.
Orchids also go to Tom Novak
and Charlie Toogood, standout
linemen on Glassford's squad. To
Novak for making many All-Big
Seven teams, plus INS AllAmer
ica, for being named Frank Pal
umbo's Player's Player of the Year
and for representing the Corn
husker state in the East-West
game.
Toofrind receives our Draise also
for being All-Big Seven and for
his unheralded work at tackle.
Charlie, along with Novak, played
almost 60 minutes every game.
The university department oi
athletics is worthy of commenda
tion for the completion of the
Field House.
Iowa-Colorado Here
Saturday Afternoon
BY KIMON KARABATSOS
Sharing the sportlight Saturday afternoon will be the
University's swim and gym teams. Coach Hollie Lepley's
swimmers will match strokes with Colorado and Tutor Jake
Geier's gymnasts will test Iowa University.
Lepley, with a soaked
Team Balance
Stressed by
Track Mentor
BY JOHN BURLEY.
Balance is the key to a cham
pionship team, so says Coach
Weir.
Much depends upon the ability
of his top men to double in two
or more events. Several events
hold the answer to whether or
not Weir can bring his squad
home from Kansas City with an
other Big Seven crown.
The high jump is one of Weir's
big headaches. Dick Meissner is
the only returning letter man
in this event. Field coach, Ike
Hanscom, has several men with
good performances during try
outs but only Dick has seen ac
tual competition.
Another area under inspection
by the entire squad is the long
distances. The mile and two mile
have only one returning "N" man
to lead the way. Esref Aydin,
the tireless Turk, is all that Ed
can count on for possible points
at Kansas City.
One hope 'is the thin corps of
distance men in the sophomore
ranks. Gene Yelkin and Ken
Jacobs along with Lee Moore will
be forced to run in one of the
best distance fields in the nation.
Bob Karnes of Kansas, Fitzgerald
of Colorado and McGuire of Mis
souri are all back. These three
men were all under the old rec
ord, broken by Karnes m the in
door meet.
The broad jump is a field that
presents a job for the genial men
tor. Ted Randolph and Owen
Brainard are the returning let
termen in this event. To show the
strength of the opposition, last
year in the conference meet, all
six finalists were over 22' 11".
'Although Randolph and Brain
ard are clearing 22', they must
deal with such men as Herb Hos-
kins of Kansas State who has
cleared 25 on several leaps.
The bright side of the picture
can be seen in six men fighting
for spots open fn the hurdles.
Bob Berkshire, conference indoor
champion in the highs, is the
number one man in that event.
He is followed by Ray Magsa
man, Wendy Cole and Bruce
Engle.
In the lows, Bill Moomey. the
hard luck man of the squad, is
pushing Ray for top honors. Bill
has yet to finish a season with
the scarlet thinclads. During the
last three years, Bill has been
forced to the sidelines with a
pulled muscle before the finals
were reached.
Ed Bedker is another sopho
more fighting for a place in the
low hurdle crew. Out of this
group of tfmber toppers, ' Weir
hopes to form a shuttle relay team
to top anything ever seen by
Nebraskans.
Jim McConnell Is competing In
not one but three events. Big
Jim has creditable marks in the
shot put, pole vault, and broad
jump. Weir will use him in all
three events again this year. Un
less Charley Toogood returns to
the ranks of the shot putters, Jim
will be Nebraska's top man in
this event.
Harry Meginnis Is another one
of Weir'g three event men. It
was Harry's anchor leg of the
mile relay that put the meet on
ice last season. Along with the
440.
crymg - towelr in hand, let out
a horrible wail when asked about
his chances for a Husker victory.
He had good reasons, too,. for this
will be the thinnest aquatic squad
that he has coached for the
Huskers.
Besides being hit by squad ill
ness this year, Lepley was un
able to harvest his excellent crop
of last year's freshmen, since most
of them failed to report back last
fall, forfeiting their education to
take jobs. Had most of the frosh
returned, Lepley might have been
able to gather a potent team.
Colorado's Best
Colorado will send one of their
best teams in history to Lincoln'
for the swim-fest which will be
held in the Coliseum pool Satur
day afternoon at 2. In taking the
Wyoming Relays last month, the
Buffs swamped Colorado A. & M.,
Wyoming, Colorado State and
Nebraska.
Nebraska's point-getters at the
meet did most of their scoring in
events where Colorado was weak
so there is a possibility that the
Huskers might pull an upset. If
the Huskers do manage, it will
be due mostly to the work of
three-year lettermon Marvin
Grimm, who finds the sprints to
his liking.
Kanamine Out
Lepley will be without the
services of Ted Kanamine, who
was injured in a car accident over
the Christmas holiday. Kanamine
had been counted upon to bring a
few points home in the sprints.
In the prettiest of the aquatic
events, diving, the Huskers will
have Jerry Barrett and Eddie
Craren as entries. Barrett is 3
sophomore and placed in the Wyo
ming Relays. Craren is the Big
Seven's defending diving cham
pion. Biff Ten Foe
The gymnastic team, opening
its season also, will step out of
the conference in its first venture
and meet Iowa U., a Big Ten
school. Coach Geier's star-studded
team might prove too much for
the Hawkeyes' green squad. Six
of the ten making the trip are
sophomores."
But the Huskers will have
plenty of competition in Claire
Jennett. This competition is
spelled with a capital C since he
is entered in every event. Jen
nctt's specialty is the parallel bars
and the flying rings.
Battle of Captains
It will be a battle of captains
in those two events, with Leo
Geier setting the pace for Ne
braska. Helping Geier in those
events will be Al Dunavan, the
Huskcr's ace horizontal bar per
former, who is also entered in
these events. Al is better known
to basketball fans as the half
time "comedian."
Perhaps the busiest Husker
"honors" will go to Craren who
will participate in both the gym
and Ewimming events. Let's hope
he doesn't get tired running be
tween the pool and the gym.
Faculty Plans
Recital Sunday
A cellist, a pianist and a tenor
will be presented in a University
School of Fine Arts faculty re
cital Sunday at 3 p. m. in the
Union.
The recital, to be held in the
Union ballroom, will include cello
solos by Carol Puckett, piano
solos by Mary Jane Waggoner,
and tenor solos by Earl Jenkins.
Accompanying the musicians
will be Char ma Davies.
