THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Page 3
By
George Miller
With little more than a week to
go, Coach Bernie Masterson is try
ing to jam as much contact work
as possible at his Scarlet gridiron
charges. Bernie well rememzers
the hestic time he had last Sep
tember attempting to whip a large
squad into fighting trim without
the hectic time he had last Sep
all candidates.
The situation is different this
year, for with the freshman rule
back in operation no new men
will be able to join the squad
unless they are former Husker
athletes who re-enter school. All
newcomer will have to spend
their first season on the frosh
squad as was the procedure in
prewar days.
Big Six dons offer some con
solation for the frosh teams, for
a conference rule provides that
the freshman teams may play two
games between October 15 and
November 15 against conference
foes or against state college teams.
Scrimmages this spring have
shown that the Huskers will pos
sess a potent fleet of halfbacks.
With ball carriers like Cletus
Fischer, Jim Myers, Bob Riedy,
Bill Mueller and Charlie Harring
ton on hand, the NU eleven will
not be lacking in speed and elu
siveness at the halfback depart
ment. Add Dick Hutton, All-Big
Six choice on several honor teams,
to the list and you have an out
standing array of gridiron talent.
Nebraska coaches are probably
glad that they have plenty of
strength at the halfback posts, for
the quarterback and fullback po
sitions could be bolstered. Dick
Thompson is the only experienced
signal caller in camp, now that
Sam Vacanti has decided to de
sert the collegiate ranks for pro-fe-"onal
ball.
t .iter Joe Partington has been
converted to quarterback and is
learning the T formation funda
mentals quickly, but is naturally
not yet so proficient to inspire
hallejahs of praise from the Ne
braska board of strategy.
Fullbacks are in a similar situ
ation. With Tom Novak now at
center and Wally Hopp intending
to turn professional, the Huskers
will rely on Dale Adams and Dar
win Salestrom, a pair of Nubbins
stalwarts last fall, for the brunt
of line-bucking duties. Veteran
Buzz Hollins is also on hand, but
workouts this spring have indi
cated that Adams, a converted
halfback, and Salestrom will do
most of the work.
Optimism is more in order when
concerned with the line. Coach
Tony Blazine has been pleased
with the size of the Cornhusker
candidates, and has been weaving
a powerful forward wall contin
gent from a mixture of veterans
of past years and few promising
newcomers.
With Carl Samuelson, All -Big
Six tackle, expected to shift to
end, the Nebraska mules will be
heavier and rangier than in 1946.
Big Charlie Toogood, North Platte
hefty, has won his spurs as a
tackle of the first water, while
Cordon Hall, Mike DiBiase and
Vera Stiner will also be on hand
to assure first-rate service at the
tackle spots.
Guards Harold Becker, John
Sedlacek, Gene Wilkins and Jerry
Jacupke have indicated that they
will be hard to dislodge from the
front ranks, although Bill Kim
ball, scrappy arrival from the
Nubbins squad, gives promise of
becoming a sturdy 180-pound
standby.
Tom Novak's shift to center has
given the '46 'fullback full op
portunity to utilize his love for
rough going. Fairbury's Leonard
Hand has moved into prominence
and is receiving plenty of atten
tion as is Gail Gade who joined
the varsity outfit for the UCLA
battle last season.
Every time he looks at the 1947
schedule, Bernie is thankful he
has had the chance to survey his
material this spring. With Notre
Dame, Minnesota, Indiana and
Oregon State on the slate in ad
dition to conference foes, the
Huskers will have to be ready to
po at "top speed from their Sep
tember 27 opening -date to the
November 29 finale. .

Samuelson Shifted
To End; 4 Advance
It was moving day Wednes
day for the Scarlet football play
ers.
Involved in the most prominent
shift was Carl Samuelson, All-Big
Six tackle for the Huskers last
season. Big Sam, a Grand Island
athlete, was transferred to an end
position.
Old Hand
The wing post is nothing new,
for Samuelson was an end
throughout his high school days
and still retains the speed afoot
needed to get down the field un
der punts.
One of the chief reasons for the
change was the improvement
flashed by Charlie Toogood, 232
pound North Platte lineman. Too-
good refused to be overlooked
during the spring practices and to
utilize the ability of two left
tackles, the Nebraska coaching
staff moved Samuelson to the
terminal location.
Following Tuesday's two-hour
scrimmage session the varsity
squad was pared to 43 men for
the remaining days of spring prac
tice which ends on May 3.
Four promising Nubbins squad
men weer advanced to the var
sity group after spending the pre
vious part of the spring drills
with Coach Pop Klein's Nubbins.
Urban Scvhrage, Elgin, 111., has
joined the left tackle group to
make up for Samuelson's absence.
Bob Patton, Lincoln performer
will operate withthe left guards
henceforth.
