Of NU VJin
Fellow Cornhuskers:
We have made two homecom
ing celebrations very successful.
The old grads of both Colorado
and Kansas watched their teams
wallop us, and there is nothing
that pleases an alumnus more
than to see his own team win.
You graduates of the University
of Nebraska will be gathering
this week end for our own Home
coming, and our game with
UCLA.
T have been rather careful not
to -get out on a limb with any
predictions , this year. This time
i m going all the way to the end
We are going to surprise you with
a victory.
Fox . the" second straight Satur
day, our boys played it out to the
end without an eye for the score
board. We outdowned Kansas 12
to 6 and showed the only sus
tained offense of the afternoon.
If we could have scored early on
the several opportunities that
came our way,-: I am confident it
woirid.hav ended differently. We
controlled Tth4 -play and the ball
for all but one play in the first
half. But that one olav. a lone.
lobbing passx sent us to the dress-I
ing"roofnsj one Joachdown behind.
Our mental altitude was good
for this came We wrro rrarfv
It 'e J,edI
it out right down to the last. We,
found our most efficient back
field combination in the second
half. It was composed of Phil
Young at fullback, Ken Fischer
at left halfback, Gerald Ferguson
at ngnt hallback, and Del Wie
gand in the blocking back spot.
Ken Fischer's passing was one
oi tne highlights for us. Phi
Youngs ability to pick holes and
then keep on his feet was excel
lent. Ferguson, I believtv is be
ginning to find himself. Charley
ioogooa played one Yf his best
games.
Other players who stood out
were Game Captain Frank Col
lopy. Herb Reese, sophomore
tackle, and Bob Schneider, at
end. Dick Hutton showed a flash
or two of his old running form.
too.
Tom Novak, as he always does,
gave everything he had until
forced out with a rib injury. Kan
sas is fortunate to have a passer
with the ability of Dick Gilman.
We were pressuring him from the
weak side, and our end was not
always able to hurry him as much
as he should have.
We do have one bright spot.
Our freshman team, under
Coaches Pop Klein, Ike Hanscom,
Mike Miller, Neal Parsons and
their assistants, managed to 25 to
6 victory over the Iowa State
yearlings at Ames. We thought
we had some fine talent among
the 170 boys who are still report
ing for our freshman squad. But
until we had a chance to match
them with another team, we did
not want to become too optimistic.
I believe our best test of the
freshmen will be afforded on
Armistice Day when the Kansas
State first-year players come here.
