1 Sports Signals!
I By Hal Brown
Nebraska passed the halfway point in spring football
drills Wednesday. The Buskers have had 10 workouts with
10 to go including the alumni-varsity football game All
Sports Day.
While getting in a 1 i 1 1 1 e golf driving practice in the
basement of the Coliseum just prior to
Wednesday's workout, Husker Coach Bill
Jennings paused to speak of the first half
of drills.
"We think we have made satisfactory
progress, at least we hope so," Jennings
said. "Offensively we're ahead of a year
ago and of course that is what we concen
trated on so far."
The Huskers spent the first two weeks
of drills entirely on offense with the main
emphasis on passing. From all indications
the Husker coaches are doing all they can Brown
to revive an offense that sagged badly last season.
Jennings said at the start of the Spring sessions, "We
plan to get the ball in the air and on the basis of practices
thus far, this corner thinks he meant it. Johnny Unitas, the
greatest passer in football today, was brought in by the
Husker head man to work with" the quarterbacks two days
and the first two scrimmages have found the air filled with
footballs.
Injuries have hit the Husker camp this week and slowed
progress a little. Jennings explains the sudden rash of in
juries to last week's stiff workouts when scrimmages were
held both Friday and Saturday. "We worked real hard
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of last week and it caught
up with us."
Most notable of the injured is Ed Mitchell, a 245-pound
sophomore tackle, who is sidelined for the remainder of the
Spring with a knee injury. Jennings explains that surgery .
may be required.
The Husker head man credits the enthusiasm of the
players for the rapid progress made this Spring. "The
boys have worked very hard and this has been encourag
ing." he says. "When a squad puts forth the effort that
these boys have, you can get a lot done because you can
work faster."
Professional scouts who watched last Saturday's scrim
mage agreed that Nebraska was the best football team
they had seen after visiting several camps.
Experimental shifts that Jennings is trying this Spring
appear to be working, however, the major shift of Thunder
Thornton to left halfback cannot be termed a success until
next fall. Thunder has added about 15 pounds, but it doesn't
appear to slow him a bit and he has gotten off some good
runs in early scrimmages.
The success of this move apparently rests with how
well Noe.1 Martin recovers from a knee operation that is
keeping him out of the Spring sessions. If Martin is able to
go full speed, the Huskers could have a potent backfield
with Thornton at halfback, but if the knee fails to respond,
then Thornton may have to return to the fullback spot.
Whether Thornton remains at the halfback spot or not,
we go along with Jennings thinking on experiments. "The
time to experiment is in the Spring," he says. This is the
same philosophy used by Major League baseball teams.
The team that starts the season still experimenting is going
to find itself behind the rest of the pack.
If the Husker quarterbacks continue to pass the way
they have thus far and the Husker coaches continue to
stress a wide-open offense, which they apparently plan to
do, then Husker fans will see some exciting football next
fall.
New Offense at Oklahoma State
Nebraska isn't the only Big Eight team working on a
new offense this Spring. Oklahoma State will put its newly
installed winged-T formation on exhibit Saturday when the
Cowboys meet the alumni in the annual "Aggie Day" foot
ball game.
The game will end Spring drills at Oklahoma State.
Husker fans will remember last fall's game between the
Cowboys and Nebraska as the two teams plodded against
each other with little offensive fireworks before OSU
snatched a 7-6 win from the Huskers in the closing minute.
