Nebraska Alums
Talk Things Over
By Dkk Stuckey
"How are we going to stop old Thunder this half?"
""Wnatayamean, WE man, Fve had enough!!"
Some halftime talk in the alumni quarters on AH
Sports Day did not sound of the old college try.
But the veterans of Memorial Stadium took twelve
minutes over Seven Ups and cigarettes, felt cut their sore
spots and redesigned strategy for the pending last half of
action.
Bill Hawkins, literally stopped cold during the first
quarter, had recovered and "ranted some more. Bill had his
sports mixed up as he came to.
"Did you see that pheasant?'" he asked the trainers
and players standing over him. '"Did anybody get a shot
at 'im did you see 'im?!
Reassuring BDl Chat fliere was n hunting ra the grid
iron, the alums had carried off the former halfback
hurdler oa legs much more wobbly than those of his col
lege career. But at halftime he was ready to go.
Many commented on Pat Fisher's reversed field touch
down run in the second quarter. '"Tremendous ballplayer,'"
they said but Fisher, tired and punchy, put it differently.
"Those old pros know how to block," he said. It comes
so natural for them, that when they see a kid still running
with the ball, they're still after the defense. I know that
some of tbem threw three and four blocks on that play.
I fust knocked back and forth for awhile, and then
looked for someplace to go."
He went
Jim Moore, starting alum center, seved notice to fu
ture Cornhusker competition concerning Bob "Big Daddy"
Brown."
On the statue of liberty play the alums sprung in the
second quarter, Moore blocked Brews from the blind side.
"I knew he didn't see roe," Moore said, isirt what I didst
know was that it didn't make any difference."
'I caught him blind, but he ran over me like a steam
rollerI just as well hadn't even thrown the block I'm
not sure he fell me." But Moore indicated he did feel big
Bob.
The two quarterbacks and alumni understudies to old
timer Sam Vacanti, Tom Kramer and Harry Tolly, were
talking over Tolly's punt that had rolled dead on the vars
ity one.
"Been working on that all week, haven't yo Harry?"
suggested Kramer.
"Sure," said ToDy, "had It all planned glad we got
to use it," he laughed.
Larry Xaviaux felt himself over for injuries. "Noth
ing," he concluded, "except this." And he showed a gash
in the arm he suffered when the whole alum backfield
rolled over Guy Chamberlin in the second quarter. "Got
hit by a chair," he said, "but considering Guy, I guess I
came out all right."
Jon Mc Williams was checking in his gear. "Dislocated
my shoulder," he said. "Guess I better quit while I'm
ahead."
Big Carl Samuelson had it figured. "I think we can j
hold the lead. We've got a good passer we can throw 1
against 'em they're weak on passes. Well hold out"
And then it thundered. i
