STALWARTS UP FRONT Expected to pace the Nebraska line this season are Guard Eddie Swartz
kopf (17) and Center Joe Partington, shown with Husker Head Coach Bernie Masterson. Joe played
at Northwestern one season, while Swartzkopf was a top notch guard on the Rose Bowl squad of 1940.
Gopher Team
To Outweigh
Scarlet Crew
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. While
Bernie Bierman is still a long way
from his final decision on the
composition of his ultimate var
sity squad of approximately 55
men, a fairly well-defined first
string is shaping up to take the
field against Nebraska for the
opening game Sept. 28.
A best guess on this lineup
would be as follows:
L.E.-llcr!) IToin, senior, wt.. 165; height
l-ct, '41, '42.
L.T. I'- in Wl.lseth, sophomore, wt. 215,
height, t It-it Inchm.
l..tl I.irry Olsonoski, sophomore, wt.
20r. 6 feet 2 liichea. '45.
Center-Warren Hcsin, sophomore, wt.
200, hticht 6 leet, '4.r.
KO.-Cduek Di-ii.-ikh, Junior, wt. 220,
heit-ht 5 feet 11 Inclirn. '42.
K.E.- Itiil Carroll, sophomore, wt. 230,
hclt-'ht 0 feet Ineliei
U.K.- Vcrn c,:iv,nt, sophomore, wt. 205,
heicht 6 (e.t, '4J.
Q B.- Hot, HanilherB, Junior, wt. 210,
heiuhl 6 feet 3 inches, '42.
LH.-Tom Cates. iieiilor, wt. 170,
height 5 feet 11 Im lies, '4.'t, '44. '45.
K II. CliiKk Avery, Junior, wt. 178,
heiKlit 6 feet, '4.1.
K.H.- Iilrk LuU. sophomire, wt. 1SD,
beiKht S feet S inihea. '45.
The average weight of this com
bination would Le 198 pounds,
with the backs averaging 18G, and
the linemen 206. The average
height is C feet 1 inch.
Injured List.
The injury factor enters promi
nently into this picture, Hein,
Widscth, Cates, Avery and Lutz
are currently on the list of indis
posed. There is a possibility that
they may be unable to participate
against Nebraska.
Least certain of ihe above are
Beson at center and Lutz at full
back. There is a hot contest at
both positions with freshmen Don
Olson and Clayt Tonnemaker
pressing Beson, and a trio of
younpsters, Ken Beiersdorf, Bill
Elliott and Jim Malosky, vying
with Lutz for the fullback post.
ATTENTION N MEN.
All N club members regis
tered in school are asked to see
Al Brown, N club secretary, at
the training room in the Field
House before Monday evening.
Cyclones Vie
With CU Foe
In Grid Tilt
AMES, Iowa, Sept. 20. Coaches
Mike Michalske, Doug Kerr,
"Cap" Timm and Jim Hauss herd
ed 33 Cyclone gridders on their
special car at Ames yesterday aft
ernoon at 4:48 and headed west for
Boulder, Colorado, where they
will tangle with the University
of Colorado on Saturday.
Word from Boulder indicates
that th egame has reached sell
out proportions and tickets are on
the hard-to-get list. The Colorado
university 11 has been rated as
championship contender in the
Rocky Mountain league and the
squad's followers want to get a
look at them against the Cy
clones. The Cyclones will arrive in
Denver at 8 o'clock this morning
and will have time for workouts
today before their appearance on
the gridiron on Saturday after
noon. The game is scheduled to
start at 2:30 in the afternoon.
tain ticket applications at the Coli
seum Ticket Office, Director of
Athletics A. J. Lewandowski an
nounced. The fact that Coach Bernie Mas
terson was associated with UCLA
in 1942 as backfield coach and
last year coached St. Mary's Pre
flight eleven which nipped the
Uclans, has added to the natural
attraction of this intersectional
contest.
Demand Heavy
For UCLA Tilt;
May Be 100,000
Early demand for tickets for the
UCLA-Nebraska football game at
Los Angeles Nov. 30, indicates the
crowd may reach 100,000.
Mrs. Rowe Baldwin, manager of
the UCLA ticket department, re
ports the largest amount of ticket
requests thus far have been for
the meeting of the Uclans and
Cornhuskers.

down three offers to star in Broad

Ilutton Sparkles
Against B Squad
"We're not down, we're up we
have a little speed, we have a little
weight and we'll be in there fight
ing all the time."
That s the way Coach Bernie
Masterson sizes up the football
situation as the University of Ne
braska squad goes into the inten
sive stages of practice in prepar
ation for the Minnesota game at
Minneapolis on September 28.
Husker squad men began their
two - practices - a - day routine on
August 31, and since that time
have been working daily under
the watchful eye of Masterson and
the rest of the staff, Line Coach
Corner Jones, Backfield Coach
Glenn Presnell and End Coach
Jerry Kathol.
Two squad cuts have already
occurred, and a B squad has been
established. Ray Prochaska heads
the Nubbins coaching corps, as
sisted by Bob Mehring, Bob Kahl
er, Harold Hungerford, who
dropped from the varsity upon
the advice of physicians, and the
most recent addition, Bob McNutt.
L. F. "Pop" Klein directs the
freshman squad.
Record Turnout
This fall's football turnout has
topped all previous pigskin rec
ords at Nebraska, for over 260
athletes have checked out equip
ment from Floyd Bottorf at the
Field House.
Coach Masterson has designated
Wednesdays and Saturdays at
scrimmage dates for the Corn
huskers and on those days pits
various varsity outfits against
each other or against the Nubbins
squads.
During recent workouts Jack
Hazen and Jack Pesek have been
getting the call at the end posi
tions, Vern Stiner and Carl Sam-
uelson have handled the tackle
posts, Fred Lorenz and Eddie
Echwartzkopf have been at guard
and Joe Partington has taken care
of the center position.
Sam Vacanti, former Purdue
and Iowa U. star, has moved into
the No. 1 quarterback post, while
two speedboys, Dick Ilutton and
Cletus Fisher handle the halfback
posts. Freshman Tom Novak, a
pile-driving fullback from Omaha
South has outdistanced all other
fullback candidates.
Registration and enrollment re
quirements have held down the
practice tempo this week, altho
a Wednesday scrimmage session
found the varsity rolling over the
Nubbins by a 46-7 count.
Scrimmage Scoring
Scoring in this practice came as
follows:
(1) Dick Hutton scittered 49
yards for a score and Vacanti's try
for point was low.
