Nebraska's grid team dis
played more offensive fire
works Sunday in preparation
for Saturday's AH Sports Day
intrasquad game.
Halfback Bob Hohn turned
in his best spring showing by
scampering to two touch
downs and leading the Whites
to an explosive 24 to 18 vic
tory over the Reds. Willie
Ross exploded for two six
pointers of his own to lead a
Red comeback after the sur
prising Whites had amasseff
a 24 to 0 advantage.
This showing should give
Husker football fans an idea
of what they can expect at
Seacrest Field, 8 o'clock Sat-
nrday night when the same
Red and White squads battle
it out for the All-Sports Day
crowd.
Fans may see more of two
freshmen quarterbacks Sat
urday night. Sunday's prac
tice featured promotions for
yearling signal callers Fred
Duda and Dave Lebsack to
the number two and four
teams, respectively. Coach
Bob Devaney noted that he
wants to give both a chance
to see what they can do with
a better squad.
Sunday's scrimmage fea
tured a stout White defense
in the early stages, and ef
fective offenses from both
squads. Speedster Hohn, run
ning with Duda's White unit,
raced 18 yards to pay dirt on
the eighth play from scrim
mage. Minutes later the Beatrice
product ran 64 yards for his
second tally and the Whites
were off and running. A scor
ing pass from Duda to end
John Koinzan for 17 yards
gave them a 18 to lead.
The White surge didn't end
when Dennis Claridge's top
team entered the fray either.
Freshman Ted Vactor picked
off a Claridge pass and
moved it 60 yards to the end
zone and the upstarts had
compile a 24 to 0 lead.
Claridge attempted to guide
his Red charges to a game
winning rally but fell short!
An three Red tallies came
from Claridge's unit . with
Willie Ross scoring two and
Rudy Johnson adding a third.
Ross managed to end his
team's drought with a 10-yard
run around his right end and
five-yard burst through the
right side of the line later in
the contest. Rudy Johnson
scored the last Red TD on a
similar five-yard trip.
Injuries are still troubling
the Husker camp. Among the
ous All Sports Day scores
logged by the Nebraska Corn
huskers in 13 years since the
1950 inaugural, a 13-13 tie be
