Usually at this time of the
year, everyone looks back at the
football season and gripes at the
errors of the football squad try
ing to determine why it all hap
pened. Instead 'of going over the long
Husker season let's take a look
into the old crystal ball for a
glance at the future.
Many of us thought at the be
ginning: of the season that a
change of coaches would bring
the lluskers back to their old
pre-war peak. However, this
theory has been proved wrong
as the eight loss, two victory rec
ord of Potsy Clark's eleven will
testify.
It is becoming even more ob
vious with each passing day that
it is going to take some hard
work on the part of everyone
concerned to bring about a change
in Nebraska's grid fortunes.
As we look into the crystal
ball, the future shows that it is
going to be a. struggle for the
Scarlet to maintain their pres
ent position, to say nothing of
i mnt'Airi t- rr i i nt-il rice 4 YA rr nn
power shortage takes a decided
upswing.
Coach Potsy Clark loses nine
men from the varsity this year.
That includes such players as
Cletus Fischer, Frank Collopy and
Dick II ut ton in the backfield and
Bob Schneider and Alex Coch
rane on the line.
Replacements for these players
will have to come from this year's
frosh squad. This means next
year's team will probably be light
on experience.
If Nebraska expects to re-build
its once mighty football team the
school will have to dig for more
and more grid talent. Otherwise
Potsy Clark's rebuilding job will
not reap any rich dividends in
the near future.
We think, given a free hand,
Coach Potsy Clark could trans
form these grid -hopes into a real
ity. No one is expecting miracles
next year but. that doesn't mean
the Husker's may not have a
better team. Only time will tell
'the complete story.

Coaching Slalns
Dr. Walter Beggs, athletic board
airman, Sunday stated that the
b of head football coach at the
University of Nebraska is still
Potsy Clark's and any change in
the staff that might be made im
mediately or in the near future
is strictly up to him.
Dr. Beggs however voiced only
his personal opinion on the sub
ject and made it plain to news
papermen that he was not speak
ing for the athletic board. His
statement reads:
"Far as I am personally con
reined, no change is contemplated
i'i the head coaching job at the
University of Nebraska. Coach
f'ark has made fine headway in
',e rebuilding program started
hst February. He has had ex
cellent co-operation from the
alumni, the faculty, and from the
press and radio over the state.
"It looks like a winning combi
nation to me, and until such time
as Coach Clark desires to step
aside from the coaching respon
sibilities, we will go along as now
organized."
Dr. Beggs indicated that the
hoard will meet soon, possibly be
fore the end of the week.

Nebraska Eleven Writes
Finis to Long Grid Stand
Nebraska's Cornhuskers wrote
finis to a drab football season
Saturday as they bowed to
Oregon State, 28-12, at Portland.
For the lluskers it was their
eighth setback of the season,
the first time in NU grid history
that a scarlet eleven has dropped
that many ontests.
Frank Collopy and Dick Mutton
scored for the losers in, the final
quarter to preserve the Husker
record of never being shutout
in this season's games. Collopy
played his best game of the
season as he continually smashed
through the Oregon State fore
ward wall for substantial gains.
Hutton snared a screen pass from
Del Wiegand on the Beaver 22
yard line and ran over for the
Husker score just after the fourth
quarter opened.
Oregon State, sparked by Ken
Carpenter and Dick Twenge,
dominated play during the first
three quarters and held a safe
lead throughout the contest.
The Huskers captured two
wins, both conference affairs,
during the long season. Iowa
State bowed in the opener, 19
15, at Memorial Stadium and
Kansas State fell, 32-0, also at
the Husker camp.
Minnesota's Gophers slapped
the Scarlet, 33-13 at Minneapo
lis and the next week Colorado
U surprised with a 19-6 win at
Boulder.
Notre Dame's Fighting Irish
payed their first visit to Lincoln
in 23 years and won an easy 44
13 verdict over the out-classed
Husker eleven.
The Scarlet gridmen disap
pointed a migration-day crowd
at Lawrence, Kansas in their
next outing, dropping a 27-7
tilt to an outplayed Jayhawker
crew.
Before a Homecoming crowd
of 36,000, Potsy Clark's charges
let the UCLA Bruins rack up 27
points in the first three quarters
before they broke into the scor
