Wednesday, October 25, 1944 THE NEBRASKAN 3 Lew Hopes To Locate TDRemedy Going scoreless in three times out Nebraska's Comhuskers are going into drills in preparation to meet the University of Missouri in the annual homecoming game Sat urday in hopes that the needed ingredient to produce points will show up and give the Scarlets a few of the necessary tallies that 60 far have not been seen. Lew's men in the scarlet and cream went to Kansas with bright hopes and a good chance to bring back their first victory but some thing happened to the Husker eleven that left them without the spirit to make good the oppor tunity for a better showing. No Injuries. One good thing about the Jay hawk entanglement was the fact that all UN gridmen returned without injury such as those re ceived in the Minnesota and In diana struggles that left the Husker-men woefully weak in cpots. Saturday's assignment will be tougher than the KU game for the youthful Scarlets with the Tigers putting out a team that has so far made the Minnesota Gophers sit up and take notice and succeeded in drawing a tie count against the top-flight Iowa State Cyclones last Saturday. j Detestations, Collins IYesent. Spear-heading the Bengal drive will be Bill Delestatious who was on hand last year and won ac claim as one of the fastest ball toters in the middle west. Also with the Tigers will be Paul Col lins who has operated very suc cessfully with Delestatious from a T formation that has put the Mis souri team on the list as a threat for Big Six championship honors. Last year's UN-MU contest saw the Tigers marching over the Cornhusker eleven by a 54-20 count, Missouri being one of the three teams to hang up a total of 54 points against the Huskers last year. The Homecoming affair is like ly to turn into a long afternoon for Huskers, fans and pl&jers alike, but a fine crowd is expected to be on hand for the struggle.

A long-term siege of marine skullduggery in the deep southland brought us in contact with enough former Com huskers to nearly form a gridiron unit.

Partington Scoots. Wp rnrmarwi two triDs ud to Chanel Hill to see the pow erful Carolina Pre-Flight eleven, whose backfield is tutored by Nebraska's Glen Presnell. Filling the pivot spot for the Cloud- busters was Cornhusker Joe Partington, wno penormea ior Northwestern as a V-12 transfer during the 1943 season. It was Little Joe, 175 pounds of the leading defensive in gredients in the Pre-Flight line, who snapped up a Navy inmKlo rmd srd SS vards to aive his mates a 21-14 victory over the touted Annapolis crew in the early-season startler.

Graham land Joe had been teammates at Northwestern the year before. Football All Day. Somewhat set back because Partington was being trans fer the dnv nfter the Navv aame. Pres was non-the-less pleased at the showing of his smooth backfield. He still uses the orthodox T, tho a passer ot (jranam proportions spreaas the enemy secondary enough to add plenty of dividends to the running attack.

Presnell, Jr., now a booming four, has outgrown that red "N" sweater he used to wear to Husker basketball games. His mother also confided that "pop" was already tossing the football around with the little guy. The future? "I think we have some tall scores to settle," says the former Husker coach, "and every lad with any eligi bility left that I have talked to intends to come back and help the situation." We were close by when the results of the Indiana-Husker game came over the radio. "lust wait," said Reichel. And that we believe, should be a Husekr slogan. nBemcBi Wairira&iflng Dick Dilsaver Return of Norris Anderson's column, Horse Sense, to The Nebraskan( though it be only one issue, should be gratefully received by readers. Norrie knows what hes talk ing about when its along the line of sports. Harry "Hippity" Hopp, ex-Husker grid star, seems to still have the knack of scoring touchdowns that once brought him fame, on UN elevens according to reports of the Camp Bainbridge win over Camp Perry. Hopp made a 66-yard gallop on a magnificent punt return to give the sailors their winl braskan on Wednesday, Nov. I.
