: Tuesday, October 26, 1948 Frosh Mat Hopes Soar, Says Coach Freshman wrestling prospects are very "encouraging" according to Coach Pat Patterson. The Scarlet mat coach i&very much pleased with his group of first year men and except for the 121 and 165 pound classes, every weight class has promising grap plers. Patterson Pleased, Coach Patterson is especially happy with the performances of his two top 136-pound wrestlers, Dan Vermillion and Jim Spear man. Vermillion, former titlehold er from Omaha South, "is looking very good and is improving stead ily," said Patterson. "Spearman is also improving and will be top flight in another year," Coach Patterson said. Spearman is from Omaha Tech. Burson Good Prospect. Don Burson, last year's state high school heavyweight king, :s out for frosh football but is ex pected to dominate the 175-pound bracket as Is Rich Reese, a heavy weight prospect. Varsity wrestling faces stiff competition this year. The Husk ers' first meet is with Oklahoma A.&M., NCAA titleholders, Jan. -7, at the Coliseum. The Aggies' coach is Art Griffith, who was the Olympic Wrestling Team mentor. Trophies To Be Awarded. Severaf trophies will be award ed to the outstanding wrestlers this year. The high point trophy, awarded to the man who scores the most points in wrestling meets, once again will be the ob jective of the grapplers. Little Bob Yambor copped the cup last year and is hoping to repeat this sea son. The Copple trophy, donated - by former wrestlers Ed and Newt Copple, will be given to the wrestler who achieves the high est scholastic mark in all of his studies. Dad's Day Scheduled. A new innovation will be test ed this year by Coach Patterson. A Dad's Day is tentatively sched uled for the opening meet against the Oklahoma Aggies and Coach Patterson is making plans to en able each competing boy's father to sit at ringside and also to walk with his son to the ring when the boy is introduced. Coach Patter son believes this will increase the interest in the wrestling sport. The roster of promising frosh wrestlers: 121 pounde : None. 128 pound: Marvin Kelly. (Omaha Term; Charles Mark!-.

Last week at Kansas the Huskers fell before the KU Jay hawks, 27-7. A lack of scoring punch at opportune moments cost the Scarlet some touchdowns, so Coach Clark and his crew are expected to "shoot the works" before a capacity throng. The top (earns in the confer ence Missour, Kansas and Okla homa all racked up wins last Saturday. In addition to Kansas' win, the powerful Missouri Tigers walloped Iowa State, 49-7, and the Sooners from Oklahoma slid past TCU, 21-18. Coach Dallas Ward's Colorado eleven showed unexpected scor ing punch by handing Kansas State a 51-7 lesson. This week finds Iowa State playing its final conference game. The Cyclones play host to Bud Wilkinson's potent Oklahoma team and any chances for an upset win over the Sooners seem very remote. Missouri substitutes probably will earn their letters Saturday against the Kansas State Wild cats JSo. far, Don Faurot's Mis- By Harold Abranison ' Simrta Editor We hate to keep harping on the same old subject but after visiting the campus at Lawrence and watching Jay hawk spirit in action here goes. The reason for Kansas spirit was very evident at Sat urday's encounter. Unlike Nebraska students the Kansas rooters were seated together in one solid block. They had little trouble hearing the directions of Jay cheerleaders and they were certainly spontaneous when it came to cheer ing on the home team. Look At Future, We fully realize that it will be quite impossible for Nebraska football fans to be seated together this season. However, since everyone from football coaches to fans are looking forward to next year, we suggest that it is time that Mr. A. J. Liewandowski look to the future. Next year the Husker's football schedule is supposed to return to what is termed a normal season. Normal Season Coming J A normal season means there will not be a big rush for tickets. At least that is the way we understand the situ-1 ation. Therefore, the Husker ticket manager can end the ' entire student controversy and avert a lot of headaches next year by declaring his policy for student seating next year. Maybe it's mob psychology or maybe it's just that the Nebraska students want to sit together; whatever it is, Cornhuskcr rooters want an answer from Mr. Lewandowski. Kansas Cheers Team We noticed one effect the KFansas cheering section had on the Jayhawk eleven. After Coach J. V. Sike's squad had scored a touchdown they seemed to turn as a group toward the K.U. rooters as if offering them thanks for their cheers. We think Husker fans would be more likely to do this same thing if they were seated in one block of the stadium. Cage Practice Good Holds With the opening game only five weeks away, Coach Harry Good is holding daily practice sessions with 30 cage candidates A nucleus of nine lettermen, and men from last year's freshman and "B" squads are working out. This week the practices are con cerned with fundamentals and skeleton drills, with five-man scrimmages to start next week. The five-man combinations will give Coach Good a chance to work his men into their regular positions. Another cut will be made in the squad later. Center Slot Overstocked. Coach Good, due to the abun dance of center candidates, is con sidering switching one or two to either a forward or guard post in an attempt to gain additional backboard strength. The main problem which would face the sourians have run rough-shod over everybody since their opener with Ohio State. Kansas U goes outside the con ference this week to entertain j the Oklahoma Aggies at Law rence. Colorado also tests a non-loop foe when they tangle with Utah University. In the scoring race, Oklahoma's George Thomas continued to hold his first place spot with 36 points but didn t add to his total last week. Forrest Griffith tallied a TD against Nebraska and moved into runerup position with 31 points. Colorado's Harry Nar ci.sian scored four times in the first half against K-State and this total earned him a three way tie with two Missourians, Bus Entsminger and Mike Ghnouly for third place.

The question or whether one of the big boys could keep up witn some of the speedy little forwards which they will meet must be settled. Two Practices This Week.

The grid mentor plans to stress a number of plays in to day's practice in preparation lor the UCLA Homecoming game Saturday afternoon. He will probably send the same team against the Uclan's that started against Kansas U. Potsy indicated that there will be few changes in the lineup for this week's game. Altho the team went down in defeat against the Jayhauks he praised the boys for the improve ment they have shown since the beginnirg of the season. Damkroger, Toogood Captains. Clark named Ralph Damkroger, 225 pound DeWitt end, and Char lie Toogood, 240 pound tackle from North Platte, as co-captains in the Homecoming event. Both Damkroger and Toogood put on a good performance against the Jayhawks. Toogood caught a pass in the Kansas game but the play was ruled out be cause he was declared an illegal pass receiver. Clark Praises Migration. Coach Clark praised the stu dents who journeyed to Law rence for the annual Cornhusker migration. He said it was very gratifying to the team to hear the spirit and enthusiasm of the Nebraska travelers.
