Potsy Clark's weekly letter ar
rived in the afternoon mail and
here are some of the more in
teresting tidbits from the Husker
grid mentor.
He extends a salute to Nebraska
followers and says that alter be
ing in football lor 30 years as a
player and a coach he has never
seen a group as loyal in both fair
and foul weather.
"Here we were riding a five
jtame losing streak. Yet our sta
dium was completely sold out for
the Kansas State game. Some of
the teams in our own conference,
which have been winning a ma
jority of their games, have been
unable to attract crowds such as
we had Saturday," said Clark.
Potsy went on to explain that
the team has been winning vic
tories that do not show in the
accord books. These, he said, are
concerned with leadership and
discipline. Football is a man's
game. And our hearts are getting
stouter.
"We still seem to go best on
our spread plays when Cletus
Fischer is in the role of middle
man. That is, Cletus Is the back
stationed behind center and takes
the ball on a direct snapback.
He may run or he may pass. How
ever, Saturday we found two
other backs w ho worked this posi
tion well. They are Del Wiegand
and Gerry Ferguson."
The head coach praised his
fleet-footed backs, Dick Hutton,
Don Bloom, and Bob Ackerman,
who gave the crowd a view of
what they can do when tossed
into a broken field. Bloom's 82
yard punt return was the high
light. A fellow sophomore, Fer
guson, cut him loose with a shat
tering block. Dan appeared
stopped at midlield, but managed
to keep his feel and pull loose;
and trom there to the goal line
made a licet and smart run, Clark
Stilted.
Clark also paid tribute to Don
T.entz and the University of Ne
braska band.
About Saturday's game with
Oklahoma Potsy said; "I ate my
share of crow, after predicting a
victory over I'C'LA, before they
passed the plate along to Dr.
George Gallup and F.lmo Roper,
following the recent elections. So

Good Stresses

Good sent his squad thru an ex
tensive thirty-minute scrimmage

Roland Emmett, Bob Means and
Bob Kasmarek combined to spear- I
head the winner's attack. An
Emmett to Means aerkal early in
the second hall was good lor a
touchdown and an almost impos- )
sible catch by Kasmarek provided i
the important extra point. Earlier j
a long pass from Emmett to Kas
marek put the Betas into scoring
position.
The DUs tallied in the first
half on a pass from Don Fin-
strom to Bill Ylcek, after driving!
deep in Beta territory on a series
of successful pass plays. The try j
for extra point was no good when j
Beta's Bill Greer intercepted a i
pass in the end zone. j
The losers started fireworks on i
the second play of scrimmage
when Finstrom tired a- long heave
to Chuck Hemingson to put the
ball on the Beta 12-yard line.
The bid was snuffed, however,
when Kasmarek intercepted an
other pass in the end zone.
Finstrom's passing featured the
DU attack throughout the game,
and the brilliant pass defense by
the winners staved off many
threats.
The victory gave the Hetas an
all-victorious season in the grid
sport.
Beta Sigma Psi captured third
place in the final standings by
dumping Apha Tau Omega, 9-6,
at Peter Pan park. Bob Bull's
pass to Norbert Tieman accounted
for the winner's TD and an ATO
safety gave
more points.
In the contest for fifth place,
Delta Tau Delta, led by Jim
Sharp, downed Kappa Sigma,
18-7. Sharp passed for all three
Delt touchdowns with Ray Van
Norman, Elmer Vandel and Elton
Gillam on the receiving end.
Kappa Sigma scored in four plays
to gain an early lead.
