Named Mizzou
Game Captain
Priming for the Huskers crucial
Big Six test next Saturday at Co
lumbia with-the Missouri Tigers,
Coach Bernie Masterson as
sembled his Scarlet gridders for a
brief chalk talk Monday night be
fore hustling them onto the Me
morial Stadium practice confines
where he sent them against Tiger
offensive formations.
The Huskers, lucky to get by
the loop's two lowly elevens, Iowa
State and Kansas State by the
same 14-7 scores, will battle the
darkhorse Mizzou squad in a
showdown for the conference
leadership.
Coach Don Faurot's charges, up
with a wealth of power, romped
over the Huskers' common foes by
wide margins to establish them
. selves favorites. The Tigers
trounced K-State 47-7 and last
week thrashed Iowa State 26-7.
Fischer Captain.
Cletus Fischer, Nebraska back
field spark, drew the captaincy
honors for the Missouri homecom
ing celebration. The speedy six
man graduate has recovered from
early season injuries and has
flashed signs of surpassing the
heights attained by his versatile
action last year.
Two stellar Nebraska perform
ers were shelved by injuries
Monday night as a result of the
Wildcat fracas. End Ralph Dam
kroger spent r the Monday night
practice session under the heat
lamp. He has a badly injured side.
Bob Costello, Quarterback Del
Wiegand's defensive replacement,
also missed practice because of
an injured side. "
Services Doubtful.
Whether either will be ready
for duty next week remains a
question mark.
Ed Nyden was moved up to
Damkroger's wing spot Monday.
With that single exception the
first unit was the same that
opened at Manhattan Saturday.
That includes Jack Pesek at the
other end, Carl Samuelson and
Charlie Toogood at the tackles,
Fred Lorenz and Gene Wilkins at
the guards and Tom Novak at
center.
Del Wiegand was at his quar
terback slot, Fischer worked with
Bill Mueller at the halves and
Dale Adams ran from his fullback
spot.
