Clark Shifts Drills Outside
Coach Potsy Clark gave his
Nebraska gridders a touch of con
tact work Wednesday when he
took the Huskers outside for the
first time this year.
The practice was held on the
North fields and in spite of slip
pery footing the squad showed
lots of spirit and drive. Potsy
did not spend too long on the
actual scrimmage session, but
drilled the huge squad in funda
mentals, for the major part of
the afternoon.
The first eleven that worked
with the ball was composed of
Ralph Damkroger and Don Sailers
at ends; tackles were Charlie
Toogood and Jim Dodfrey; guards
were Rex Hoy and John Sed-
lacek; and Bob Costello was at
center.
In the backfield Jim Myers
and Bill Meuller held down the
halfback posts while Chick Story
quarterbacked and Tom Novak
played fullback.
Tony Blazine gave linemen a
good workout and Doug Russell
put the backs through a brissling
afternoon. Pop Klein instructed
the tackling drills.
The coaches were pleased to
find that most of the boys were
in good shape and that they are
ready for tough work.
The passers were given special
attention with all the backs given
a chance to toss the pigskin.
The first official 'record in the
broad jump was created by F. H.
Gooch of England who covered
a distance of 18 feet in 1864. The
present world mark of 26 feet,
BY inches by Jesse Owens, made
in 1935, is a gain of 8 feet, 8 'A
inches in the intervening 71 years.
