Huskers go through
last stiff workout
before Minnesota tilt
By John McDermott.
Coach Biff Jones had his squad
Working in high gear yesterday
afternoon as the Minnesota game
draws near. Rain cut short the
workout yesterday but the Husk
ers had about 90 minutes of stiff
drill before they were chased in
Bide. The end and backfield men were
working on passes both on the of
fensive and defensive, and were
running through some new plays
especially designed for Minnesota.
The linemen were on the defense
against a freshman team using
Minnesota power and line plays.
Both outfits spent about 40 min
utes working on these two phases.
I Stresses passing.
Later Jones assembled his squad
Into teams and had them working
against each other. He was par
ticularly stressing the passing at
tack and was also pointing out
mistakes in the defense of the
second team. He then switched
and had his first team on the de
fense and the second outfit was
throwing aerials. Particular stress
was also put on protection for the
passer, and it was noticed that
blocking was picking up.
Jones had almost all of his first
three squads working and was
giving them all an equal chance
to demonstrate their ability. He
was mixing the line-ups consider
ably in working out a satisfactory
starting combination. He has
made no comments upon his
changes and refuses to divulge a
probable starting eleven.
To substitute freely.
The "Biffer" was giving all
hands a chance and it is indicated
that knowing the power of most
Minnesota teams he expects to

Yanks nip Reds 2-1 in first series game
by June Bierbower
There's one thing that won't
hurt Nebraska any against the
Gophers Saturday. Generally
speaking, Minnesota's tackles have
less experience than the Huskers.
Of course, no Nebraskan can
match the 420 minutes experience
Capt. Win Pedersen, who also let
tered in his sophomore term, got
last year. However, the only other
experienced tackle on the squad,
Kyrus Johnson, a senior, and the
other starter, got in only three
games la.st year, playing but 15',2
minutes.
Neil Lltman, 195 pounds. Carl
Magnusst-n, 215, and Urban Olson,
225, were on the squad last year,
but had no experience in games.
The Huskers are outweighted,
with Royal Kahler being the
heaviest at 215. Kahler played
less than 100 minutes last year
as did Sam Schwartxkopf, altho
Sam got a major letter two
years ago, and should get an
other this year If he plays as he
did against Indiana. Leonard
Muskin won a major letter as a
guard last season, while Forrest
Behm was the regular Husker
right tackle. Tho there's not as
much bulk there, the Husker
tackles as a whole have been
thru tougher battles than the
Cophers.
use a number of substitutions.
Minnesota's first two elevens
remained intact in their workouts
early this week. Practice Tuesday
was confined to a review of Ne
braska effense and aerial strat
egy. Bierman indicated that he
will take 40 men on the Nebraska
trip. The Gophers are not due in
Lincoln until the morning of the
game, remaining in Omaha Fri
day night.
Eligibility in doubt.
Two top flight ends, Bill At
kins and Bill Johnson, were to
tackle a psychology exam yester
day morning to determine whether
or not they will be eligible for the
rest of the season. If Johnson suc
cessfully passes the exam it is
expected that he will take over
the starting right end assignment.
Atkins is one of the best wingmen
on the squad although he is a
sophomore.
The first eleven for the Goph
ers, and probable starting line-up
lists: Ends, John Mariucci, and
Early Ohlgren; tackles, Capt. Win
Pedersen and Sy Johnson; guards,
Helge Pukema and Bob Smith;
center. Bob Bjorcklund. The back
field included Jim Shearer at
quarter, Bruce Smith and Harold
Van Avery at the halves, and
Marty Christiansen at fullback.

Five games were played before

The Sig Eps held a 7 to 0 lead
over Delta Sigma Pi at the end
of the second quarter when the
game was called. Rawalt tallied
the lone score and Bors converted
for the extra point. This was the
only League III game played.
In League II Delta Upsilon and
the S.A.M.S played to a scoreless
tie in four periods but the rule
book says that in case of a tie the
team that scores the most yardage
or the first touchdown in an extra
period game wins the game. D.U.
chalked up most yardage when
the S.A.M.S failed on a couple of
long passes, and the game ended
