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.
Coach Cuts I-S
Cage Squad To
IVeiity-Five
Ames, la., Oct. 23. After sev
eral weeks of intensive practice,
Coach Louis Menze has cut the
Iowa State college basketball
squad from 65 to 25. The roster
now includes 19 V-12 trainees
and six civilians.
Only two returning lettermen
from last season's Big Six cham
pionship squad are available.
Guard Bill Block and forward Jim
Myers are the two returning vet
erans from last year. A 1942 let
terman, forward Orlyn Fuerbach,
who was recently discharged from
the Army, is on this year's squad.
Jim Harland, a 1944 squad mem
ber but not a letter winner, is
also on this season's squad.

HORSE SENSE
By Norris Anderson
BY NORRIS ANDERSON.
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.
ViHnnllv pvurv Oirnhuslcer we contacted exoressed two
'desires: (1) For the blinkety-blank war to end. (2) To
climb back into University ot Nebraska grid togs.
Our training mates at Camp Lefuenne, N. C. included
Hank Reichel, colorful little soph backfield scooter on the
1942 club; Vic Clark, rugged 6-4 end on the same squad;
Bert Brown, one of Lew's basketball mainstays; Warren Jef
fries, UN varsity wrestler; Bob Hazen, a frosh backfielder and
brother of lack; Everett Nelson, prize frosh eager, and Pat
Boyle, Husker baseball performer.
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.
"oe swivel-hipped em like a haltbaclc, commented uuo
Graham ,the Northwestern All-American .after the game. "Pres
H-nnlv overlooked a aood runnina back there." 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.
Prof. Presnell spends his entire working day teaching
football classes. Football plays a major part in Navy physical

fitness and every aviation cadet is required to learn me game.
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.

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.

Herman, 6 foot 2 inch guard. i
Jack Runyan and Merle Kleen,
two veterans of last spring's Cy
clone baseball team, are showing
well at guard and center, respec
tively. Center Bill Bailey, a former
University of Minnesota player,
and Ted Chamberlain, who played
last season at MacAlester college
of St. Paul, show promise while
Ted Schaller, another V-12
trainee, has been working cut at
forward.
Although this year's squad lacks
the exnerience of last vear's
championship club, the spirit and
potential power are evident in me
early workouts.

reasons for choice are usually not
because the voter has thought the
question out, but that he is in
fluenced by the opinions of
others. We want the answers to
be as honest as possible. Students
will not be asked to sign their
names on the ballots," Miss
Chamberlin stated.
She also stressed the fact that
former political polls taken at the
university have never been com
plete. This year The Nebraskan
is emphasizing complete partici
pation in filling out the ballots.
All students living in organized

night. It will be up to the unaf

to fill out their ballots at either
of the two booths.
