rndcry, September z4, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKA PAGE 7 fi la LTv Splash Squad To Be Tough "We want - no sport to feel Blighted here at Nebraska for we feel that all sports develop a fine sense of confidence and leader ship in the participant and we will do our best to promote all sports in a fair and impartial manner," stated athletic director, George "Potsy" Clark at a meeting of boys interested in competitive swimming held in the "N" room, beptember 22. In response to Director Clark's encouraging talk, swimming coach Iiollie Lepley declared that the Husker crew would be out to win the conference crown within the next two years. From the im pressive array of lettermen, num ' al winners and freshVien, Coach i-rpley is given a good chance of taking the crown away from Iowa State, defending champs since the revival of swimming. Marvin Grimm and Gould FLagg, Husker swimmers, brought before the group plans for the formation of a Nebraska charter of the Por poise fraternity, national swim ming fraternity. From the re sponse of the group the Porpoise fraternity may become a reality on the Nebraska campus. Coach Lepley has announced the beginning of conditioning for swimming on Monday, September 27. All boys interested in com petitive swimming are urged to see Coach Lepley in his office or at the University pool by Sep tember 27. Sport- I ItjQ fSl i lE&GMzSBvy & &xV?) QUARTERBACK COACHING V-V-"r ff; J AT ILLINOIS U AT KANSAS U. -A't FOR Z-yD$S COACHED Aii ;'K7 1 CoraCiiiiasllieirs Seft Todays meeting in the intramural office should shed some much needed light on the touch footballs situation. bmce the question has risen on the advisability of having toucn lootoaiL numerous organizations have not been too nappy. Today's meeting should try to solve the problem in a manner which will make everyone happy. We hate to keep "harping" on this subject but the students of this univer sity want intramural touch football continued. Looking at the other side of this situation we notice that the athletic department needs the entire space to the west of the coliseum for use as frosh practice fields. Whether they need this much practic space is a question which will be answered at the afternoon meting. Another question which will probably be answered at the LM. meet ing is whether use of the mall facing the Coliseum will be allowed for the touch footballers. If use of the mall is allowed there should be enough playirig space for at least four teams to participate. Iowa State gridders aren't going to have to battle Ne braska without some encouragement from their own fans Saturday. The Cyclone pep council figures tj have somewhere near a thousand fans from the college at Ames in the stands at game time Saturday. The game has been namd as the annual migration contest for the student body. According to Harry G. Burrell of the Iowa State infor mation service the caravan will leave for Lincoln early Sat urday morning. Coach Abe Suber s squad will need au the home sup port they can get. According to the Cyclone coach his team would welcome every bit of help it could get from fans be cause the Huskers are always tougher at home than on the road. Stuber has beeri working his chargees very hard in preparation for the Saturday tilt. The Iowa State mentor has ben stressing a greater resistance to running and pass ing attacks from the single wing. Stuber's eleven are clearly trying for an upset over the Scarlet. The Oklahoma vs. Santa Clara game Saturday at San Francisco should be one of the top games in the nation. It could develop into a sensational scoring match with each club counting as many as three touchdowns. Santa Clara has lots of offense, Ilall Ilaynes, her top back, glided through California for three touchdowns, two of them thrill ing runs of 51 and 38 yards. Oklahoma, the Dig Six co-champion last year, had the top running team in the league last year and ranked sev enth nationally rushing. This fall the Sooners have added forward passing to running and their quarterbacks, Darrell Royal, Claude Arnold and Bob Ewbank, have been hitting the target in practice. - y Among the top Sooner batks is Jack, Mitchell, top run ning back of tn BSi fast (year who scored two touch downs against Texas' Sugar Bowl kings. Another is George' Brewer, leading scorer-in the Big Six' last year. George Thomas, who won the finale against Oklahoma A Si M with timely last half touchdown scampers of 38 and 59 yards wiU probably start at right half. The MWF section of Ed. 61 is having a difficult time finding a room in which lectures for the course can be given. The class has been moving from Andrews to Social Sciences and up and down the halls in an attempt to find a permanent meeting place. Nebraska's Huskers will go into the Iowa State game as odds -on favorites Saturday afternoon. The Huskers will take it easy this afternoon with some block ing and tackling practice against dummies and then spend some time reviewing plays and practic ing defense. Nebraska will only outweigh the Cyclones by 13 pounds but the Scarlet has a slight edge in experience. Jim Myers, Jerry Ferguson. Junior Collopy, and Don Schnei der have been doing the punting in recent scrimmages with better results than previously. Mike DiBiase. who reinjured his knee during Wednesday's practice is expected to be ready for play Saturday. Husker Weights Favored. If weight means anything the Husker forward wall should be able to open the path for Coach Potsy Clark's brilliant array of scatbacks. The Cornhuskers will be seek ing their 35th victory in 44 con tests in a series that started 57 years ago. Saturday's game will be the season's opener for Nebraska and will give the Huskers a chance to prove they are on the come-back trail. Potsy Clark is sticking pretty much to the same lineup that he has been using in this week's scrimmages. Fischer Captains Game. Cletus Fischer, St. Edward half back, will captain the Huskers in their opener. Fischer expects to be i a the lineup Respite a cheek bruise wfiered during scrimmage Tuesdiy. I Wi'h Fischer rounding into shape the Huskers should be at neal' peak. Barring late developments, I r. V JOHNNY SEDLACEK. Veteran Husker lineman will be the only varsity placer missing from Saturday's game with Iowa State. Johnny Sedlacek, veteran Seward guard, will be the only varsity member to miss the game. Johnny is still bothered by a knee injury. The varsity will probably con tinue their pass defense practice this afternoon. . Last year the Cornhuskers beat Iowa State on their own field, 14-7. The Cyclones have one vic tory over Iowa Teachers this year.
