    THE NEBRASKAN
Friday, September 29, 1944
Cornhuskers
Meet Mighty
Minnesotans
Little Promise
Of Victory Held
Thursday morning the Huskers
were Minnesota-bound to meet
the mighty Gophers at Minneap
olis Saturday. Coach A. J. Lewan
dowski took 35 young athletes to
meet the favored Minnesota
eleven. Little hope for gaining a
victory is held by the youthful
huskers but a better showing than
. in 1943 is in sight.
The 1944 inaugural will bring
only three UN lettermen into the
fray and Buzz Hollins, disabled
fullback is one of these. Lyle
Kops, hefty tackle, and Guard
Frank Hazard were the other two
vets and only Hazard started the
fray against Minnesota last year.
Nine navy V-12 men in Min
nesota's veteran lineup along with
many lettermen are the exper-
rienced team the untried Husker
youths will be up against. One of
these star-studded lettermen is
Red Williams, swivel-h i p p e d
back from Minneapolis.
On top of these Gopher advan
tages lies the fact that Hollins
will see little if any action Sat
urday afternoon. Collopy should
be able to handle the fullback
post, leaving his position at cen
ter to Keith Doyle.
Trospects for the Scarlets was
dimmed two weeks aero when
Lewendowski lost two big ends in
Rob Schlictler of Omaha and
Bert Gissler, winrman from Os
ceola. These two huskies would
have made a fine receiving pair
for Bill Betz's passes.
All in all, the Gophers have al
most every advantage but it will
be a group of determined young
Cornhuskers against them.
The traveling team for the trip
included the following players:
Ends: Jack Bryant, Tekemah;
Winton Buckley. York; Lyle Co
lerick. Alliance: Jack Dedrick,
Sidney: Bob Koenig, Yankton,
S. D.; Jim Strahan, Wayne.
Tackles: John Johnson, Norfolk;
Lyle Kops, Bassett; Fred Lorenz,
Lincoln; Ralph Major, Culbertson;
Bruce Tollat, Cozad; Ed Strick
land, Flattsmouth.
Guards: Bill Berqulst, Lexing
ton; Allen Grundmann, Nebraska
City; Frak Hazard, Sioux City,
la.: Bernio Kasdan, Yankton,
S. D.; Don Pegler. Lincoln; John
Stevenson, Scottsbluff.
Centers: Duane Berkey, Daven
port; Keith Doyle, Curtis; Merle
Ebers, Seward.
Quarterbacks: Ed Gradoville,
Flattsmouth; Joe Kessler, Wayne;
Bob Scoville, Hartington.
Left halfbacks: Bill Betz, Lin
coln: Bill Perdew. Hastings; Murl
Mauser, Big Springs; Jack Selzer,
Scottsbluff.
Right halfbacks: Chick Knight,
Lincoln; Dick Lamberty, Fremont;
Douglas Nelson, Wausa.
Fullbacks: Junior Collopy,
Scottsbluff; Ken Hollins, Valley;
Francis Kenyon, Callaway; Roger
Mountford, Davenport.
Gophers Plan
On Stiff UN
Competition
MINNEAPOLIS. Dr. George
Hauser's Golden Gophers expect
no such easy time against Navy
less Nebraska as they experienced
in 1943, yet are looking forward
to the game as another stiff two
hours of competition that will
help put the team in shape for the
always-anticipated Michigan
game of a week later.
The Nebraska game should
pretty well shake down the
Gopher lineup into something
permanent, but that doesn't mean
it will be very different from the
team that played the Seahawks,
for the squad is not large and
there's no great field for selection
among players. The right half
backs will, more or less, be Braan
and Lundquist; the left halves,
Williams and Gullickson and the
fullbacks, Cates and Sutton, with
Kispert and Edwards having first
call at quarter. Which is not to
say, of course, that lots of other
back fielders will not have a
chance.
Center is Set.
The center of the line, also, is
pretty well fixed, and it will be
Jensen, Day and Grazinger with
first shot at guard; Lossie and Van
Dusen, centers; Juster, Reinhardt
and Aldworth at tackles, when
these good men are in condition to
play.
The Gophers opener showed
clearly that more defensive
strength at end will need to be
developed, and in addition to Juhl
and Wainright, who started in the
end positions, Dr. Hauscr sent in
five more Qnist, Nelson, Pringle,
Brandstrom and Turnacliff. Vary
ing more in stature than in native
football ability, all of these men
would be rood ends as college
juniors after a couple of years of
scrimmage, and they aren't so bad
now but that they will turn in
some good games before the sea
son's over.

Council
Ex-Huskcr Stars
On Kessler Field
Gridiron This Fall
The attention of the sports staff
was directed recently to a press
release from Kessler field, stating
that Herman Rohrig, ex-Corn
husker football ereut. would be
the spark of the Kessler army air
field's team this fall.
Rohrig, star halfback with Ne
braska's 1940 Rose Bowl team,
played with the Green Bay Pack
ers before entering the service.
He also played with the west
Army All Stars in their series
against the Eestern Army Stars
When he was home on leave the
earlv Dart of the month, he
worked out with this year's edi
tion of the Cornhuskers.

Council Controls Rallies.
A new rally committee com
posed of Janet Mason, Jim Kra
tochvil and Mary Russel, as rep
resentative of Tassels, was ap
pointed. Miss Mason read from
the constitution that the Council
has full control of rallies and pep
leaders.
In the last spring election, there
was almost a unanimous vote that
girl cheerleaders should be
chosen. A committee during the
last year has made several futile
attempts to receive the consent
of the faculty for such action.
Gloria Mardis was elected sec
retary to take the place vacated
by Hazel Abel, who is not at
tending the university this year,
Jean iarsen reported that a
statement issued by Dean Boylcs
concerning formal parties had
made, stating that students may
dress as "they deem suitable" for
campus functions within houses
Vacation Gets Lost.
ine subject oi a spring vaca
tion this year was discussed by
last year's Council but was lost
in the shuffle of politics. Bill
Sakayama, Helen Vennum and
Jeannie Browne were appointed
to find if such a vacation could
be scheduled.
The Council, which ordinarily
meets every two weeks, will meet
again next Wednesday.

Gophers Win
19 From UN
During Past
o
Over the span of years of Minnesota-Nebraska
football games,
the Huskers are definitely on the
short end in the won-lost column.
The first UN-Gopher contest was
staged in 1901 and the series went
successfully until 1913 when
World war I disrupted the grid
schedules.
The next clash came in 1919
but it was the only game until
1932 when the series was again
resumed on the annual basis. In
all this time Nebraska took only
four of the contests, Minnesota
conquered 19 times and two ended
in ties.
Scores of the series:

Dc Shazo Gives
Good Showing
In Scrimmages
Dick DeShazo has been running
like ice under a heat-lamp in
scrimmages against reserves as
the Air Base Wings prepares to
meet Fort Warren when the
Bronchos travel here from Chey
enne, Wyoming, for the encounter
in Memorial Stadium Sunday.
DeShazo galloped for consistent
long gains showing too much for
reserves using' the Fort Warren
play. If he shows this speed and
allusiveness against the Bronchos
Sunday they will have their
hands full.
Other indications for a fine
Wing showing are cripples re
turning to the line-up. Dutch
Schultz has nursed a bad knee
back to working order and is do
ing much running to develop the
joint for the Broncho game. Ralph
Brady, fullback contender joined
his mates in practice after a
week's absence caused by a bad
ankle which is now in fine shape.
