It's back to the Nebraska turf
Saturday as the Nebraska Corn
huskers, fresh from a 16-0 win over
Kansas State, play host to the
hard-running Texas A and M Ag
gies. According to reports from
Husker scouts, the visitors will be
the fastest team the Nebraskans
have encountered this year. Their
attack will be paced primarily by
a hard-charging fullback, Jack
Pardee. Not since the days of Ail
American Bob Smith, have the Ag
gies been so high on one player.
Joining Pardee in the Texas back
field will be Jimmy Wright at
FRESHMAN SCRIMMAGE
The first showing of this year's
edition of the Freshman football
squd will be held this afternoon.
A full scrimmage nnder game con
ditions will be held at 4:15 on the
Memorial Stadium turf. It will be
an intersqnad skirmish with the
team split into two working anils,
the Reds and the Whites.
ouarterback, John Crew and Lloyd
Taylor at the halfbacks and Par
dee at fullback.
Underclassmen Form Nucleus
.. On the Aggie line will be Eugene
Stallings and Bobby Marks at
ends, Charles Krueger and Jack
Powell at tackles, Jim Stanley and
Dennis Goe bring at guards, and
Lloyd Hale at center. The Aggies,
Southwestern Conference represen
tatives, will be paced by a young
eleven, with a squad of 50 men,
cot one being a senior. Pardee, a
converted end and fullback on the
1354 eleven, is one of the few jun
iors on the starting squad. As a
sophomore last year, Pardee play
ed end, halfback, and fullback. At
202, he stands 6-2.
Like the Huskers, the visitors
have played three games, losing to
UCLA in their opener 20-0, then
bumping off Louisiana State 23-0
and Houston last week end. Their
loss to the Uclans was no disgrace,
seeing as the Westerners are the
Coast's top eleven and held Mary
land to a 7-0 score.
Try For Two
For the Nebraskans, they will be
seeking their second win of the
current campaign, losing to Ha
waii 6-0 and Ohio State 23-20, and
winning last week over Kansas
State 16-0. The Huskers are cur
rently leading the nation in pass
defense. In total offense, they have
played on an even keel with their
first three opponents. The Nebras
kans have had to rely mainly on
their air attack. They have com
pie ted 21 of 51 aerials good for
328 yards. They have also outscored
their rivals 36 to 34. In rushing,
however, they have been almost
stymied, gaining only 507 yards
compare! to their opponent's 814.
For coach Bill Glassfords' start'
ing eleven, it will be LeRoy Buth
erus and Jon McWilliarns at ends.
LeRoy is a 6-0, 175 pound junior
from Lincoln. The former a 1 1-
stater has caught four passes for
96 yards. McWilliarns, the senior
wingman from Sidney is a former
halfback, having been converted at
the end of the last campaign. This
year the scrappy wingman has
captured six aerials for 87 yards.
Tackles Look Solid
At the tackles will be LaVerne
Tcrczon and Jerry Wheeler. Torc
zen, the number two center behind
Bob Oberlin last year, has taken
over his new position with great
promise. Along with Butherus and
McWilliarns, the 200 pound Torczon
was a letter winner from last year.
Wheeler, who operates from the
ether tackle spot, is a sophomore
from Milan, Illinois. The big 6-1,
230 pounder is also a wrestler and
a shot-putter in track. He was an
all-Illinois selection at Rock Island
high school.
The two guards will be Don
Kampe and Bill Taylor. Kampe,
another sophomore, is a 200 pound
er from Red Oak, Iowa. He has
taken over the guard spot from the
veteran Jim Murphy, who was in
jured. Taylor, a 5-10, 130 pounder
from North Platte, is another re
turning letterw inner from last
year. The senior veteran came into
his own two weeks ago with an out
standing performance against Ohio
State.
At the pivot spot will be game
captain Doran Post. The 180 pound
junior center, saw considerable
doty last year and replaced Bob
Berguin after the Hawaii clash.
At the quarterback spot will be
the Big Seven's leading scorer Don
Erway. The junior from Lincoln
has scored 24 tallies to annex the
lead from Oklahoma's Jim McDon
ald. He scored all 16 points against
K State last week end and com
pleted 10 of 28 passes for 126 yards.
Erway averaged 34.9 on 11 punts.
The junior let term an played all of
the OS contest and most of the
action in the other two games. At
the halfbacks will be Rex Fischer
and Willie Greenlaw. Fischer, a
converted signal caller, has come
into his own this year, overcoming
injuries that benched him most of
the 1954 season. The senior from
Oakland has carried the ball 31
times for 153 yards. He has com
pleted5 two of seven passes ana
caught six for 77 yards.
Greenlaw, the speedy junior from
Portland, Maine, has moved the
pigskin 103 yards in la at
tempts. He has completed six ot
seven passes, good for 124 yards.
He has tallied one touchdown. At
fallback slot is John Edwards, a
senior speedster, who has recover
ed from a groin injury that kept
him out of the KS clash. His elec
trifying 90 yard run against Ohio
Slate has been the play of the sea
son.
Like Nebraska, Texas runs out
of the Split T. Most of their at
tack will-be based on the running
of Pardee and the passing of
Wright. Saturday will also be Band
Day.

POME
There once was a fellow named Bicker,
Wne made sports readers much sicker;
He sat a the if, feO in love with himself.
And roald raise nothing more than a snicker.
Longfellow
Back oo a cold day in the November of 1940, unbeknownst to the
loyal sports fans of Nebraska, a definite jinx was placed on the
athletic teams above the high school level in Lincoln . . . ME!
This was destined to be an evening long to be remembered by the
world of sports, for it started a depression much worse than that of the
thirties, this one hitting the local metropolitan presses the hardest.
For at that moment that set athletics reeling, one Dick Bicker had de
cided to conquer the journalistic domain that seemed to lay at his feet
Ihiddeo under his bay window).
Becker had grown up in the world of sports. He was first attracted
to them when a beer company began to sponsor boxing matches. In
the first place he just loved the commercials and secondly he had been
cjuite a boxer in his day. He was once crowned the horizontal champion
cf the area.
. Be I digress. Let us further pursue the motives that pushed this
young extrovert. Bicker was raised an orphan as he couldn't afford to
have parents and soon became active in the fecal fraternity at his
pftrUcular reform schooL It was called Pochuco and was soon to be
come very strong nationally. He donned his black leather jacket (with
the eagle on the back), brushed his skunktaH (ducks were out of sea
son then) and soon took his place among the brothers.
. Ke was soon elected to office as intramural chairman who super
vised motorcycle races, gang fights, and old fashioned runvrunning.
He was now one of the boys. Ah, what a stirring sight they were, roam
iaj the alleys with their collars turned up.
I can still see them now. Old "Fowl-Mouth Leghorn, who first taught
Bicker the art of bird calling. How I miss the old chirping of "Fowl
Koutb. He was at his test during migration. I wonder what's become
cf him? The last I heard he was working as a weather vane at Capis
' trans.
I But I digress. Through the spiritual guidance of his fellow hoods,
lie was graduated from reform school COME LOUD, and had made the
grade as the Dean of metropolitan sports writers, as he recorded all
cf the athletic events that went on in the courtyard on his cell walls.
He almost took a fling at the Armed Forces as be had been a ROTC
major at school, but he left that cp to his bosom buddy. Cap. Queeg,
who had grown op-clutching the ball bearings out of his wrecked cycle.
; So, just oce phase stood between Bicker and success. There was a
certain gun moll that had haunted him since his early youth and as
he was weak, he decided that he should court this fair made 'un.
As he knew nothing but the law of the blackboard jungle, he
brushed the axle grease off cf his old blackjack and set out a courting.
Nothing seemed to go right for our hero that night. His cycle broke
?rwu several times, his ducktaH (It was the season) wouldn't stay oiled,
a .-4 lasts ct not least, some smart alec had scribbled E Phmbis Unum
laderratsta the eagle on the back of his leather jacket.
So, feeing a true sportsman at heart, he resorted to his old law of
t fv.z'jt (another smart a!ec erased the blackboard.) Ke slung his
tree kve over Lis massive shoulders and carried her off into the night
Li search of a istice cf the peace (sure he was).
Eut it wasn't the jeers of the bystanders that hurt him, it was the
bsrai. But. being a true sportsman, Bicker surged ever onward.
Ecker married the girl and took his place among the faculty of the
stmris writers and lived happily ever after, with his wife writting the
V:.IA cc-'irsa for the local college newspaper.

ramer and the local bookie to collect his debts in a way worthy of a

The University of Nebraska and
the Lincoln area, will be in a fes
tive and receptive mood for Band
Day. However, the Cornhusker
football team wilf be awaiting the
tussle with the Texas Aggies in
not such a receptive manner.
Saturday's game promises to be
another thriller similar to the con
test with the Ohio State eleven.
In a pre-game press conference.
Coach Bill Glassford expressed his
feelings in an optimistic but re
served attitude. The biggest sur
prise to Husker followers will be
the probable starting of senior Don
Hewitt and sophomore M a r 1 i n
H i 1 d i n g, at the end positions.
Glassford stated to newsmen that
the two new ends will be used for
certain defensive reasons. Then
the Husker Coach went on to say
that this was neither a demotion
or promotion for any players in
volved. Both Hilding and Hewitt
have seen only limited action dur
ing past games. It will be interest
ing to see just what Glassford has
up his sleeve in the form of this
new strategy.
The Aggies have concentrated
their offensive play on the inside
and the Huskers will be expecting
that sort of game tomorrow. How
ever, the Texas boys possess the
greatest speed which the Corn
huskers have encountered thus far.
This may spell trouble for the Ne
braska squad and it will depend
on whether the backfield can react
and recover fast enough to delay
the A&M running game. The Texas
offensive tactics are kept strictly
on the ground and while their
passing game is accurate, they do
not rely on it for gaining yardage.
On the other hand, Nebraska's
aerial attack has shown great
merit and Glassford could really
pressure me Aggies witn sucn a ;
passing barrage. The versatility
of a right-handed and left-handed
passer in the Husker line-up could j
play havoc on the Texas pass de
fense. i
The weatherman forecasts ideal i
pigskin conditions, neither too hot
for the players nor too cold for
the spectators. Coach Glassford
feels that the team is in good
shape with the exception of Frank
Nappi who has not responded to
treatment.
Coach Glassford specifically told
The NEBRASKAN that he deeply
A ,r-
most enthusiastic and talented as
semblage of young athletes that
he has worked with. Approximate
ly 75 per cent. of the squad are
sophomores which indicates A&M
is building for the future. Recent
impressive wins over LSU and
Houston, after an opening loss to
UCLA, shows that Aggie fortunes
are on the rise.
The Nebraska coach stated,
that, "We can learn to play better,
by playing better teams." The su
perior of the two contestants will
be determined on the playing field
tomorrow afternoon.
All the above facts should point
to an interesting afternoon of foot
ball for what may be the largest
crowd in the history of Memorial
Stadium.

appreciated the campus spirit and
support which has been shown al
ready this season. The players are
also appreciative of student sup
port in contrast with Lincoln sports
critics. Glassford said further, that
the team's mental attitude is ex
ceptional. Their foremost idea is to
win ball games for their many sup
porters. Coach Paul ''Bear" Bryant, Ag
gie football mentor, has stated in
pre-season predictions, that this
