As Nick Adduci put it a few
weeks back on his return to

to be back."

The announcement of tackle
Ted Connor being picked to ap
pear in the East-West game in
San Francisco, Jan. 2 has pro
vided one bright spot in the drab
statistics of the 1953 Nebraska
grid campaign.

homa game, making the Hastings
senior the sixth player to at
tend the annual contest under
his coaching.
TED HAS been a bulwark in
the Husker line for the last three
seasons and has been a thorn in
the sides of opposing coaches on
defense especially.
He becomes the 35th Husker
to be feted for the Shrine game,
starting with center Harold
Hutchinson in 1925. Last year,
All-American halfback Bobby
Reynolds and guard Ed Hus
mann anchored down starting
berths on the West eleven. Hus
mann was chosen as the out
standing lineman of the game
and thus ended his college ca
reer in fine fashion.
'
CONNOR BECAME famous in
grid circles around Nebraska
when in high school, chosen as
an All-State fullback for Hast
ings. He later lettered while a
sophomore as an end on the
Glassford squad of 1951. His 6'4"
220 pound frame has enabled
him to shine on both offense and
defense.
Ted was a member of Ne
braska's fine 1950 aggregation
until Uncle Sam called him.
Connor - played against Indiana
but was called to duty follow
in? the Minnesota tilt.
The Hastings lad is a fine cage
performer also. This activity no
doubt helped him develop agil
ity. Connor is one of the four mar
ried memoers of the 1953 squad,
meeting of the 1953 Cornhusker
football squad. As guests of the
Quarterback Club all graduating
seniors were presented with wrist
watches.

The only thing that miffs me
are the people who can call me
"no guts" Paynlch and actually
get away with It!
THE TREMONDOUS amount
of interest in the Huskers by
patients at the VA hospital
really 'surprised me,, especially
after the mediocre season.
One 75-year-old Spanish
American War veteran, who
came to Lincoln in 1R99 snim
many a tale about early Husker
i i
L'lUUS.
He related that the first col
lege came he rver saw mix a In
1899 when the Huskers, then the
uugeaters or something: similar,
tangled with the Minnesota club
for the first time.
He told how local fans bet
everything they had that Ne
braska would score against the
rugged Minnesota eleven.
"There sure was a wild time
In the old town that night,"
mused the surprisingly spry

urged to turn In their lists for
the all-University touch foot
ball team before 5 p.m. Tues
day. white-haired veteran. "Nebraska
lost to be sure, but scored twice
before bowing 20-12."
BY THE WAY, patients at the
hospital really go for university
shows and other activities in a
big way. They were especially
eager for another glimpse of
Hank Cech and his "Talent
Show."
WITH THE grid season fin
ished as far as NU is concerned
we now turn out attention to
Coach Harry Good's cagers.
. The Cornhusker cagers in our
opinion are slated for one of the
ton spots in conference play.
With only the loss of veteran Joe
Good and junior Paul Fredstrom
to wory about, Coach Good
should be feeling- great these
days.
The seasoning of such sky
scrapers as Bill Johnson, Gary
Renzleman and Willie Fagler
should make the 1953-54 edition
of Nebraska's cagers quite po
tent. Veterans Fred Seger and
Don Weber add more experience
to the group.
A rood test and indication of
what to expect this year should
come out the opener against
Minnesota's powerful Big Ten
entry Dec. 5.
WE RECEIVED a letter the
other day from Don Boll, one
of last season's grid standouts
for NU.
Don is currently holding down
an offensive first string tackle
berth for the Washington Red
skins and actually gloats over
the difference between pro and
college play.
In other words he is having:
a great time as well as a great
freshman year in professional
play.

NU Tackle,
Spot;
s Are Question Mark
Husker football fortunes
for
1954 are a question mark.
Fourteen of 27 Huskers who
saw action in the 30-7 loss to the
for next year, including:
ley.
Tackles Bill Holloran and Peve
Evans.
Guards Bob Wagner, Tom Kri
pal, Max Kitzelman, Don Glantz.
Centers Bob Oberlin.
Quarterbacks Dan Brown.
Halfbacks Dennis ' Korinek,
Bob Smith, Jon McWilliams, Rex
Fischer.
Fullback John Edwards. .
THE BIG "ifs" in the picture
are whether the Huskers can
find capable replacements at
tackle and the vital quarterback
slot.
Another question mark is the
guard situation. With one year
of experience behind them, the
returning crop should provide
more power for the NU running
game in 1954 than was the case
this season.
