Tuesday, September 25, Rain Stymies Grid Workouts; CU Star To Play Saturday BY DOUG WILCOX Sports Staff Reporter Like every other football coach, Bill" Glassford has his troubles. Rainy weather is not exactly the nicest weather to have during Courtesy Lincoln Journal TOM CAROCINE Former Boys Town flash scored twice arainst the frosh and was the outstand ing punter of the fame. the week before a big football, game, be moaned. After the Varsity-Freshman tilt Saturday, Glassford has a better idea ' of the over-all strength of bis team. According to Glassford "our line play will have to chow a lot of improvement before we will be able to give good account of ourselves at the T.C.U. game Saturday." Commenting on the backfleld play. Glassford said the back field showed some very fine improvement since the Curtis scrimmages, but that they too, alonr with the line, need some Gophers Shy GoodUnemen 'There'll be some changes made" is the theme song in the University of Minnesota fall foot ball camp where practice for a selected list of incoming freshmen started. Coach Wes Fesler is shy of guards, tackles, ends, and under class centers. In contrast to recent ' years when Minnesota's strength and depth ran to linemen, the "bet ter men" freshman crops of 1950 and 1951 have been predomin antly backs. The four men out of the yearling crop of a year ago who are most likely to see extended varsity service this season are Paul Giel of Winona, quarterback; Marty Engh of Montevideo, right halfback, and Mel Holme of Stambaug Mich igan and Ken Wallin of Valley City, North Dakota, fullbacks. In the frosh group that went throughits first paces under Fes ler and his assistants are such highly-regarded backs as John Baumgartner of Bismarck, North Dakota, Geon Cappelletti of Keewatin, Jerry Helgeson of St.j Cloud (Tech), Dick Lees of Austin, Mickey McMahon of Iron River, Michigan- Buzz Meighen of Preston, Dale Quist of Lonsdale (graduate of Northfield Central high)- Ernie Strecker of St. Paul, Wash., Don Swanson of Hibbing, Chuck Swamun of Minenapolis Washburn, Mike Sullivan of Min neapolis Roosevelt, and Fred Teche lof Milwaukee There are some rugged physical specimens in this list. Some have already been canvassed by Coach Fesler on the possibility of mov ing up to the line.

Glassford said in regard to the frosh team that "the freshmen players looked surprisingly good at times, but that at other times Courtesy Lincoln Journal NICK ADUCCI FuUback from Chicago, III., may have his best year for Nebraska. they seemed a little unorganized due to the short two week practice sessions they had just completed." "Some of the freshmen players that made rood showings at the game will be moved up to the varsity if they keep show in? Improvement," Coach Glass ford said. Some mistakes were made at the game and Glassford believes these can be worked out with more experience behind bis squad. Althouh the weather has been bad the Varsity squad seemed to be in very fine shape. There were Is , vt", Wilkinson Works Sooner Squad Despite Casualties Disregarding the risk of more. casualties. Coach Bud Wilkinson is pushing Oklahoma's new squad through stiff twice-a-day drills at Owen Field. "In spite of the fact we're dead if somebody like Tom Catljn or Billy Vessels or Jim Weatherall or Eddie Crowder got hurt, we've got to risk it. They'll all be hit in practice," Wilkinson said. The Sooners are scrimmaging savagely and already it hasseen costly. Kay Keller, best all around end on the squad, is out for the season with a shoulder separation so severe that it had to be operated. Keller is a junior from Thomas, Okla., who tackled well and covered smartly on de fense, too. Joe "Red" Gaynor, sophomore fullback from Memphis, Tenn., injured cartilage in his knee, He will rest ten days then the knee will be tested. If it won't hold him, he will be operated and lost for the season. That would probably move Max Boydston, .19- year old new . freshman from Muskogee, Okla., in the No. 2 fullback slote be hind Buck McPhail, last year's sub who saw very little service behind Leon Heath. These are the worst Sooner in juries at present although Billy Bookout, promising sophomore back from Wichita Falls, Tex., sprained a shoulder in scrimmage Monday and will be out for sev eral days. End Bill Beckman is also out with a twisted ankle. Oklahoma's No. 1 line is green as the lush Owen Field turf, but is hustling and blocking hard. Co captain Jim Weatherall at left tackle is the only starter back from last year now that Keller has been hurt. Jack Lockett, sen ior reserve, is working hard at I left end. New men are in the other five positions and Line Coaches Gomer Jones and Dee Andros are working frenziedly to put some kind of polish on them be fore the Sooners' opener here September 29 against Coach Marvin Bass's William and Mary Indians. The teams that defeat Oklahoma this fall will do it throueh these five posi tion where Regulars Norman McNabb, Harry Moore, Clair Mayes, Dean Smith and Frankie Anderson held sway last season but have played out their string. Two sophomores are at guard, Roger Nelson, 220 pounds from Wynnewood, Okla., and J. D, Roberts, 235 pounds from Dallas, . r rMprve fr Tex. Melvin Brown, reserve from Denison. Tex., is playing right tackle although he can't 6tart fast yet off the leg he broke in spring practice. Center Tom Catlin, who didn't play a minute of offense last year but looked great at it in spring training, may have to go 50 minutes in every game. Gene Ball, the new right end, played a total of only ten minutes as a sophomore last year, eight Sooner Named Coach Of Year Jack Baer, blond, rotund, 36-year-old former pro player who guided his University of Okla homa baseball team to the na tional collegiate championship last spring, has been named first an nual "College Baseball Coach of the Year." V The announcement came from John H. Kobs, Michigan Stat baseball coach and secretary treasurer of the American Asso ciation of Collegt Baseball Coaches, following a poll of some 200 members of the AACBC, Remember Don Juan no serious injuries inflicted to either the Varsity or Freshman squad, so the Varsity will be in good shape for the Saturday tilt, the Husker coach said.

K.U. deputed T.C.U. 27 to 13 at a night game held in Fort Worth, Tex. A team is usually on the re bound after a defeat, so T.C.U. will be very tough to beat, he continued. Glassford is a little leary of the potent backfield which T.C.U. has with good boys like Gil Bartosh, Melvin Fowler, John Mendanich and Keith Flowers. But Glassford also believes he has some players who can knock these boys down and make touch downs too. against Kansas State and two against Kansas State and two against Oklahoma A.&M. It's a brand new line and right now it lacks the speed, timing and blocking savvy of the usual Jones-coached Oklahoma forward shields. But it's trying hard. The backfield seems set in only two positions. Eddie Crow der, Muskogee junior who played only a few minutes be hind Claude Arnold last year, looks fine despite his lack of playing experience. Potentially, he seems to have a little more of all the Split-T quarterback ing attributes than any - man Wilkinson has developed al though he is almost totally un tested in varsity games. Billy "Curly" Vessels, cyclonic left halfback of last year, looks good. In Saturday's scrimmage Vessels tore off runs of 51, 35, 33 and 30 yards and whipping his running pass, hit his man over the goal for a touchdown only to have the receiver drop the ball. But it's far from settled at fullback and right half. Mc Phail, pushed by Gaynor, the freshman Boydston and by Raymond Powell, 1950 squad man, hasn't distanced his pur suers. Merrill Green of Chicka sha, Okla., last year's right half, is only half a step ahead of Frank Silva, senior reserve from Crooked Oak, Okla. The Sooners need more wallop in both these slots. Wilkinson switched Bookout, sophomore defensive half, to full back in Saturdays scrimmage and Bookout blocked and faked sen sationally and ran adequately, too. But he lamed a shoulder Mon day and besides is needed for de fense. Safety is the biggest defensive problem. A pair of sharp sopho mores, Bookout and Larry urigg of Sherman, Tex., - are the best defensive halfbacks in camp. But no successor to Buddy Jones at safety has yet been found. Gene Calame, 165-pound freshman from Sulphur, Okla., has impressed the coaches with his bee-line tackling and if he learns pass defense fast enough might get the call. r -I 1 1 ?.''' ''"' ; 1 f ' .

Weir plans a four to six week fall workout. This should bring good results, considering the short period of spring practice and the bad spring weather. Nebraska's chief weaknesses ap pear to be in weights and distances Several weight men are expected out after football. In the distances, most of the men will be green. Several key thlnclads were lost from last year's teams. Don Partin Holds Mat Meeting Varsity wrestling got under way yesterday when coach Partin held a meeting at the uonseum. The purpose of the meeting was so that Partin could look over the prospective wrestlers for 1951. Coach Partin also gave instruc tions on the physical examina tions to be given this evening in the N.U. field house. After the boys take their physi cals, Partin will issue sweat clothes. The wrestlers should start light workouts in the next few days. Wrestlers attending the meet ing were, Bill Weber, Don Beam, Ron Dunn, Ed Lane, oienn Nel son.

ISlIII u liJHr Hi , . .rinn j Jhk, CAU n run u Pigskin Sport Starts Four-Month Reign By ARLEY BONDARIN Staff Sports Reporter Football started its four-month reign as some of the nation's top football teams shed practice uni forms and gave faithful fans an alumni a previous of what is to come in the pigskin parade. - Heading the march were two breath takers. Oregon State gave the highly touted Spartans of Michigan State a 6-0 scare, but the Biggie Munn crew showed too much defensive stuff for the West coast eleven. It was a series of intercepted passes in the third quarter that kept the Spartans from opening their season on the wrong side of the ledger. Defense was the key word in the Texas-Kentucky battle, but the Kentuckians lost a 7-6 thriller on a point-after-touchdown fail ure. Stars of the game were Bob Dillion, Southwest conference top defensive back, and Babe Parilli, touted as an AU-American can didate at quarterback. In the Big Seven the action was hot and heavy, and the teams found the going fairly rough in spots. One such spot was Colum bia, Mo., where the Missouri Tigers fell to a young and aggres sive Fordham team, disappointed an estimated 18,000 home throng with a 34-20 win. The Tigers had everything un der control as they led the Rams 20-14 at the end of the third quarter. Then the roof and the Missouri defense fell in. It was another dismal afternoon in the history of Kansas State football as the Wildcats absorbed a 34-0 shellacking from the Cin cinnati Bearcats. The Wildcats settled down in the final period and held the Bearcats scoreless, but it much too late for the 12,000 home fans Special To All Students One 8x10 Black and White Portrait for $1.95.

On the other side of the ledger, the Kansas Jayhawks socked the Texas Christian Horned Frogs, 27-13. The surprise of the game was the improvement of the Jay hawk aerial attack over the Frog's vaunted passing attack. Jerry Robertson turned in a sterling passing performance as the Texas heaving mainstay, Gil Bartosh, was sidelined for most of the game with an injury. Bar tosh is expected to be ready for the Nebraska game Saturday. Al though slowed by a groin injury, Charlie Hoag aided the Jahawker cause with a final quarter touch down fling good for 39 yards. The Cyclones completely domi nated play throughout the rame with a versatile attack of decep tive ground plays and accurate passing. Dick Mann, replacing the graduated Bill Weeks, com pleted nine of eleven passes, three for touchdowns. Wayne fans were consoled by a 95 yard kickoff return for a TD by sophomore Dick Lisabeth. Lisa beth also proved a passing threat as he completed seven of 16 passes, good for 174 yards. Held to 14-7 lead at half-time, the Colorado Buffs ground out a hard-fought 28-13 victory over a suprisingly tough Colorado A. & M. squad at Boulder. Paced by tough little Woody Shelton, the Buffs countered a touchdown in each of the first two periods and then iced the game with a pair of scores in the final stanza. Up against superior manpower, the Aggies outcharged their an cient rivals throughout the game, but were unable to cope with the driving Buffalo backs led by Shel ton and Merwin Hodel, two-year all-conference selection.
