DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, September 17, 1942, By Gene Sherman Coach Glenn Presnell sent his Husker proteges through a hotly contested scrimmage under an equally hot sun yesterday afternoon at Memorial Stadium practice field in preparation for the September 26th invasion of Iowa! After the Husker mentor's final whistle had blown, the Red clad eleven was holding on to a scant lead of 27-21. The winners struck early when they tallied a touchdown on a 60-yard sustained drive. Dale Bradley and Marv Athey took turns in carrying the pigskin to the six-yard stripe where Bradley then took the ball over for a score. Vic Schleich then place-kicked the extra point. A few minutes later the "A" team was again on the march, but their threat was stopped when Howard Debus fumbled on the five yard line. Harold Hungerford then punted out of danger to his 38 yard marker. On the first play Fred Matheny passed to Ki Eisen hart, who raced down the sidelines untouched for another marker. Schleich again converted to make the score read 14-0. Buckley Scores. The green shuts then found pay dirt for the first time when Newman Buckley intercepted one of Roy Long's parses and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown. The score was then boosted to 14-7 on Ed Murphy's conversion. A rejuvenated Red shirted team then took over the ball on the irtidfield stripe and immediately went over for their third score of the afternoon. "Tut" McKee carried the ball from the 45 yard line to the 22 yard marker to put the ball in scoring position. Hopp and Long took turns in carrying the ball to the three-yard line. Wally Hopp then scored on a line buck. Roy Long's place kick made the score 21-7. Dale Bradley then became the high scorer of the afternoon when he scored his second touchdown of the scrimmage. He scored Bradley, Athey Lead Reds To Victory Eisenhart Runs, Thompson Passes In 27-21 Conquest from the one-yard line to climax a sustained drive of 50 yards. Thompson Passfes. Dick Thompson, "the smallest man on the squad, was then 'in serted as the tail-back for the green shirts. Thompson then filled the air with passes to bring the seconds into "A" team terri tory. Thompson then completed a heave to Henry Reichel, who took the ball on the "A" 35 yard line and evaded many red shirts for a touchdown. Bob McNutt, who had previously seen action with the Red shirts, place kicked the 14th point. With playing time running out, the losers were successful in scoring again when Randall Salis bury plunged over from the one. Bob McNutt again gave the in dication that he can be counted on for points after touchdown when he made good his second conversion in a row. Allen Zikmund did not see ac tion due to an injured rib, but the showing of Marv Athey, who started in Zikmund's position, was very encouraging. The work of Ki Eisenhart and Wally Hopp also brought smiles of satisfaction to the few spectators who witnessed the scrimmage. The toad which was a mascot for the Las Vegas gunnery school has had its name changed from "Machine Gun Pete" to "Petricia." A mistake was made. Every student is entitled to read the Daily Nebraskan.
