THE NEBRASKAN

Jayhawk Ace
Hurt; Husker
Hopes Mount
Husker hopes for a victory over
Kansas received a decided boost
when it was learned that Leroy
Robison, potent Jayhawk tailback,
suffered a broken collarbone in
the Wichita encounter last Satur
day and will play no more foot
ball this season.
In addition to the loss of Robi
son, the Lawrence eleven is faced
with the possible loss of regular
center Wayne Ilird, who came out
f the Wheat socker game with a
twisted knee. With these two stal
warts, the Kansas attack will be
hampered. '
In the Nebraska camp work
went on to increase the speed of
the Husker backfield. Too often
the line has opened up gaping
holes in the opposing defenses,
only to find that Nebraska backs
have lacked the speed needed to
break into the secondary before
the holes have closed.
Fischer to Backfield.
With this in mind, Potsy Clark
has shuffled his backfield combi
nation and will probably open
against Kansas with Cletus Fisch
er in the tailback spot. Fischer
has recovered from a knee in
jury and will return to the back'
field after a time at the center
position. Other backfield starters
will probably be Gerry Moore,
Dick Skog and Chick Story.
The line is apparently set, after
showing well in the Missouri
game, with Kipper and Sailors at
ends, Tegt and Sedlacek at tackles
Lorenz and Hoy at the guards, and
Bob Costello, converted backfield
man, at the center post.

After their third straight con
ference defeat, 'the Huskers are
working this week for more back
field speed. Speed speed and1
more speed is the greatest need
of the Nebraska grid machine and
Coach Potsy Clark is concentrat
ing on this essential factor as he
readys the squad for the Kansas
Jayhawks this Saturday.
It's been 29 years since the
Kansans have defeated a Ne
braska team in Lincoln, and with
a Homecoming: crowd to cheer
them on, the Huskers 'vill be oat
for the Jayhawks pinfeathers.
The frequency of upsets has
made football forecasting a haz
ardous occupation, what with
Minnesota, Purdue, USC and
Texas meeting defeat for the first
time last Saturday. Ranks of un
defeated will be further depleted
on November 3, with Note Dame
meeting Navy in the national fea
ture tilt.
John Kekeris, giant Missouri
tackle, seems a bit bewildered
over the way he is being treated
by conference referees. Last Sat
urday's ejection marked the third

Miller
straight week in which Kekeris'
activity has been curtailed by
official action. Jumbo John pleads
innocence on all counts, saying
that he was merely doing his duty
when Johnny Sedlacek, Husker
tackle, walked up and slugged
him.
Even though 285 pounds is a
lot for any player to tote, John
seems to go at his chores alittle
too viciously, for three ejections
are too many to be termed a co
incidence. Big Six honors will probably be
decided on November 17, when
Oklahoma and Missouri clash at
Columbia. On the preceding Sat
urday the Sooners face the Iowa
State Cyclones.
