Top9 Klein's
Frosh Roster
Boasts 200
Husker football coaches were
overjoyed by a record freshman
turnout when approximately two
hundred men checked out gear at
the field-house.
Head freshman coach, L. F.
"Pop" Klein, was impressed with
the interest and enthusiasm shown
by the Frosh. He said the roster
lists more than fifty high school
players who have been standouts
in interscholastic play.
Among those whose reputations
have preceded them are Tracy
Busch, All-State utility-man from
Pender; Ted Britt, 203-pound
Honorable Mention tackle of
North Platte fame; Rich Reese,
Omaha Central hot-shot center;
Honorable Mention All-Stater
Winnie Sippr Scottsbluff.
A few more coaches' blessings
are: End, Ed Weir, jr., All-Stater
from Lincoln, and son of the
N.U. track mentor; Back Rich
Yost, All-State iron-man repeater
of the Omaha South high 1947 ball
team; and 238-pound Richard
Sund, Honorable Mention tackle
from Bostwick. h
The coaches have found a scat
back in speedy Jack McCartney,
a 100-yard dash and broad-jump
winner who has one year at
Northwestern behind him.
Other notable standouts arc
Nick Adduci, and Joseph A. Pon
seigo, backficld men from Chi
cago, Illinois; James Lee Elliot,
halfback from Mitchell, who was
the bulwark of the class "B"
Panhandle Conference champion
ship team; and Robert Fester,
240-pound tackle from Fredonia,
Kansas, who will fill a big hole
in the line.
Lee Pulley, halfback, around
whom the 1948 Fremont team
was built, will be an asset to the
team, as will end Cecil Voils, Lin
coln; Don Laux, hefty Omaha
North high school guard; and
Richard Coba, Cambridge, who
alternates at guard and tackle.
"The coaches can field on pa
per," a line averaging 228 pounds
and a backfield averaging 190
unds, which makes a total team
: rage of 214 pounds.
The team also boasts a "Mut 'N
Jeff' combination in 139-pound
C:ule Gangwish, 5-5 center from
Juanita, and 305-pound Richard
Widdle, 6-2 guard and tackle,
Ciom Genpa.
Leahy Predicts
New Era at N.D.
"A new era in Notre Dame foot
ball will begin with the opening
of the 1948 season," according to
Coach Frank Leahy.
Leahy is not too happy about
the loss of three All Americans
one of whom was the key opera
tive quarterback in the intricate
T-formation. The Notre Dame
team also lost a total of five play
ers from the final game last year.
Quarterback Johnny Lujdck and
Tackles George Connor and Zig
gie Czarobski are the departed
All Americans. Joe Signaigo, right
guard, and Bob Livingston, left
half, were the other two starters
in the '47 finale against Southern
California.
The Irish mentor claims the era
of national championships is over
and will be happy to attain vic
tories in just a majority of Notre
Dume games.

Clark Stresses
Pass Defense
BY HAROLD ABRAMSON.
(Daily Nebraskan Sports Editor).
Nebraska's grid team concen
trated on pass defense in a three
hour session behind the locked
doors of Memorial Stadium Satur
day afternoon.
Coach Potsy Clark sent two
White teams against a Blue team
which used defensive tactics and
a Red team which used Iowa
State plays.
Bill Mueller and Cletus Fischer
sparked the Whites through the
first half. Mueller took Gerald
Moore's opening kickoff on his
own one yard stripe to the 30
Gerald Ferguson carried across
the mid-field line and Tom Novak
shook off some would be tacklers
for another five yard gain.
The Blue defensive line held
and the Red offensive line using
Iowa State plays came in.
No score was made until late in
the first half when Cletus Fischer
of the Whites sent a long pass to
Bob Schneider who was standing
all alone near the end zone for
the counter.
Coach Clark used the White
team sparingly in the closing half.
He sent the Blue and Red squads
against each other.
The Husker mentor sent the
Reds against the Whites with the
Reds taking the ball on the White
45. Bill Sloan got away a perfect
pass to Kirk Lee, former 1946 all
stater from Fremont, who sprinted
to pay dirt. Lee who just recently
