Wildcats Ready For Saturday Open
Face Wyoming Eleven At Laramie
Ed Coffin To Replace Brov
In Syracuse Offensive Plan;,
It looks as though a fullback, Ed
Coffin, may replace All-American
halfback Jimmy Brown in Syra
cuse University's scheme of foot
ball maneuver this fall.
With two weeks of practice ses
sions now. complet?d, Orange head
coach Ben Schwartzwalder hasn't
been overly impressed with the ef
forts of his three left half possi
bilities, juniors Ernie Jackson and
Tom Stephens and senior Dan
Ciervo.
Coffin, on the other hand, has
been a barrel of fire at fullback.
The 195-pound Copiague, Long Is
land senior has been running with
fine power and showing good speed
for a bucking back. He was a def
inite standout in Syracuse's first
scrimmage drill.
A 25-year-old Army veteran. Cof
fin was a Syracuse regular last
fall, but, with Brown and halfback
running-mate Jim Ridlon avail
able, he got very little chanc V
exhibit ball-carrying ability.
TJiis season, with the left half
position a question mark, fullback
Coffin may be the guy who relieves
Brown as the key to Syracuse's
running game.

- Yes, Jennings will have his work cut out for him, but we are sure J
he will do the best possible job with the material he has. The Corn
huskers are not rated high nationally, but are sure to make some
of the bookmakers eat their betting slips on a few of these approaching
Saturday afternoons.
Win, lose or draw, the University student body is behind Jennings
100. Proof of this will be shown at both the Washington State and
Oklahoma games. Xext Saturday a deafening roar will greet the grid
ders as they take the field for the first time this season and on
November 23 another deafening roar of support will shake Memorial
Stadium as the Cornhuskers leave the field for the last time this
season.
Unbelievers need only purchase season tickets and they can see
Nebraska spirit at its best.
Welcome to the limelight. Bill Jennings, and we only hope you
stay longer than Pete did.
Chiefs come through ii clutch ...
The Lincoln Chiefs came through to cop the Western League pen
nant in almost unbelievable style. Trailing Amarillo by 2 games with
only 3 contests remaining, they nipped the Gold Sox by one game by
winning all three of their last games with Topeka.
This second championship in a row must make Dick Wagner very
happy, especially the fact that 4.800 fans turned out for Sunday night's
pennant clincher.
