Ringmaster Bernie Masterson
cracked his whip for the first time
Monday afternoon as he sent his
Husker football prospects through
a chilly first day's practice session.
The spring-like weather o f
morning and early afternoon faded
quickly as it neared time for the
Scarlet gridiron candidates to
gather for their preliminary
chores. Not all of the 150 squad
men were on hand for the first
session, for afternoon labs inter
fered with the athletic plans of
some of the stalwarts counted on
for pigskin duties.
After a preliminary limbering
up period, Coach Bernie shooed
the Scarlet outfit indoors for a
brief lecture in the field house,
and then back out into the cold
they went. Backfield Coach Dou
gal Russell had the entire squad
going thru more calisthentics be
fore the players divided into line
men and backfield groups.
, A new figure in the ranks of the
backs was Joe Partington, regular
center on last year's Nebraska
team. Little Joe was taking his
turn with the rest of the quarter
backs trying passes to the other
backs. - '
While the backs and centers
were busy with passing practice,
Line Coach Tony Blazine had a
host of forward wall candidates
going through practice charges at
the west end of the practice field.

ing a new quarterback to replace
Sam Vacanti, who will finish
school this summer and then take
a whirl at pro ball with the New
York Giants, the Husker coaching
staff had a string of quarterbacks
trying their hand at finding re
ceivers with forward passes.
Backfield men wasted no time.
Working on the T formation,
three trial backfield combinations
lined up for drills on some of
the T wizardry. Included in one
quartette were Partington at
quarterback, Tom Novak, Omaha,
at fullback, and Junior Collopy,
Scottsbluff, and Jim Myers, York,
at the halfbacks. All of these
players were members of last
fall's Scarlet squad, Collopy being
shifted from fullback to right
halfback late in the season be
cause of his defensive prowess.
Del Wiegand, Kearney fresh
man who sparked the Nubbins
last fall, was in the quarter slot
of a second backfield which also
included Bob Harrington, Auburn
flash, who played at Washington
and Lee last fall; Dale Adams,
Randolph freshman, and roly-poly
Wally Hopp, Hastings veteran,
who was at fullback.
In a third group, Carl Dilldine,
Falls City freshman, was at quar
ter, Bob Mullen, Connelsville,
Penn., prospect, was at fullback,
and Bob Ackerman, Sidney speed
boy and Bill Mueller, star at
Corpus Christi in service compe
tition, were at the halfback posts.
Among the missing was half
back Bill Moomey, still hobbled
with a muscle injury picked up
during the indoor track season.
Other absentees included Quar
terback Dick Thompson, Guards
E. Schwartzkopf, Fred Lorenz and
Gene Wilkens, Halfback Dick Hut
ton and Tackle Carl Samuelson.

Most Impressive Scene of Year
la "Henry V the charge of the French knights
at the battle el Agfa-Court (HIS A. D.) was
the most majestic and spectacular moment oi
the year. As gaudily caprisoned hones bore
the heavily armed nobles to their doom at the
hands of the English archers, modern audiences
could view the lull panoply oi the chivalry
that died with the Middle Ages.
