In All But Two Spots

By Bob Miller.
Under the guidance of an en
tirely new athletic regime, some
100 football hopefuls either
checked out or Indicated that they
would in the next few days as the
B,x weeks spring football session
got under way under the east
stadium.
Glenn Presnell is the guiding
light since the departure of Major
Biff Jones for West Point. A new
line coach, Elmer Gu Holm, was
on hand to mold line candidates
Into a forward wall that can carry
on the Husker tradition.
Amen Drafted.
Since l'aul Amen has gone the
way of all good draft-eligibles, Ad
Lewandowski has been assigned
the chore of end coach, having
terminated his basketball cam
paign on Saturday past. John Sel
lork will be on the sidelines as di
rector of athletics.
Of the group that showed up for
the checking out procedure and
the physical exam, followed by a
short workout, there were 21 let
ter winners, 26 squadmen from
last year and over 50 freshmen.
Largest Squad in History.
According to the higher powers,
this year's squad is one of the
largest 'J not actually the largest
squad to check out for spring foot
ball at the Husker institution.
After the shakeup in the coach
ing staff, there was no one left to
take over frosh football next fall.
Presnell has the authority to ap
point an aide to help thru the
fall season. Last fall the freshman
squad was the largest and most
enthusiastic in history in the head
coach's opinion.
Weather Doubtful.
With all the checking out and
physical exams out of the way,
the huge squad can get under way.
The only thing that is worrying
them now is the weather situa
tion. Usual March weather keeps
them indoors about half of the six
weeks period.
When the practice is held out
side, foothall enthusiasts will have
a chance to view proceedings in
all probability. Last year it was
closed gates for the entire season
while the Huskers were practicing.
Seven Seniors Gone.
As for the outlook for next fall,
It is far from gloomy with only
seven seniors plus two others lost
to the Nebraska forces at this
writing. The seniors were Bob
Ludwick, Kenny Simmons, George
Abel, Clarence Herndon, Fred
Meier, Fred Preston and Vilce
Francis.
Howard Kelly and Wayne Blue
have departed for the khaki
garbed forces leaving the center
and fullback positions wide open.
These are the only two spots not
filled by returning lettermen.
To give some idea of the
strength in experience of the 1942
squad, let s look over the posi
tions. Thompson Back.
The ends look plenty strong
Marvin Thompson, who took over
first string duties in mid season,
did such a good job last fall that
he was named to the Minnesota
all-opponent team. He weighs
more than last fall and should
wind up his college career with
an all-conference rating.
Jack Hazen and Gerry Kathol

The half backs will be a hard
position but not from the lack of
performers but from an abund
ance of material. Dale Bradley

the starting call with Wayne
Sindt and Howard Debus to spell
them.
