into the waiting arms of Means.
The rest of the second stanza
was nip and tuck with South Da
kota scoring the only other touch
down of the period. When the
half ended, South Dakota was on
its own 39-yard line. Jim Har
vey, 195-pound star Sodak end,
intercepted a pass from badly
rushed Fran Nagle as the gun
sounded.
Coyote Line Stubborn
The stubborn Coyote line weak
ened in the second half and the
Husker forward wall began open
ing wide holes, especially in the
SoDak left tackle.
Jerry Ferguson, Scotsblulf
speedster, took advantage of one
of those gaps in the Dakota line
when he sped 55 yards untouched
for a score. Fergie had no block
ing past the secondary on his
jaunt.
Another hole in the left side of
the Coyote forward wall gave Don
Bloom the opportunity to make
his second touchdown of the day.
Bloom grasped the opportunity
and sped 1 1 yards to score. Britt
converted for a 27-6 score.
Wiegand Passes for Score
The final touchdown of the day
came in the dying seconds of the
fourth quarter. Ray Magsaman,
Alliinn pnri rrnbhed a nass from
Del Wicgand in the end zone with
two seconds left in the game.
The lone SoDak score came in
the second stanza. Fumbles by
Nebraska and a hard-charging
Coyote line backed the Huskers
to their own two-yard line. Fer
guson's punt from the end-zone
was downed on the Coyote 22
yard line. On the very next play.
Van Arsdale took a lateral from
Andre and passed to Harvey Han
son. Hanson took the ball be
tween Kenny Fischer and Bob
Schneider, who thought they had
him down, and squirmed his way
to the goal-line.
Backs Impressive
Carl Andre, Jack Van Arsdale,
and Howard Blumhart provided a
flashy backfield for the Coyotes.
Van Arsdale's passing and punt
ing were especially impressive.
South Dakota averaged 40 yards
per punt to Nebraska's 22. The
SoDak total would have been
greater but for a partially blocked
punt by Damkroger .
A pair oi nasny oyuie chub
made life miserable for passer
Fran Nagle all day. Nagle com
pleted only five passes, one of
which came in the first half. Del
Wiegand completed two passes in
his brief stint at quarterback.
Ron Clark Passes
Nebraska unwrapped another
passer Saturday. Ron Clark took
a lateral from Nagle and faked an
end run. He tore for the side
lines behind a host of Husker
blockers and heaved a pass to
Magsaman who had to leap high
to catch the ball. The play cov
ered 26 yards.
Nebraska's potent running at
tack was needed badly because
their vaunted passing game was
bogged down by alert Coyote
backs. Don Bloom, Ron Clark, Bill
Mueller and Jerry Ferguson each
tui;ned in commendable running
games.
Rich Yost. Omaha fullback, was
also good for consistent gains.
Yost's hard charging play as a
halfback merited a switch to the
fullback post last week.
Frosh Add Color
Adding color to a fine football
nrternoon was the newly added
freshmen pep group. The frosh
were formed in a big red N with
white background and a red bor
der. They aided the rest of the
card section in forming a series
of card flashes showing the shoot
ing of the Coyote by the Husker
. hunter.

Nebraska corinc4 Touchdown: Bloom
Fans attending the South Da
kota game with expectations of
seeing Nebraska's new quarter
back, Fran Nagle, put on a daz
zling aerial show went home dis
appointed Saturday afternoon.
Nagle was rushed badly on al
most every occasion as he drop
ped back to pass, and was thrown
for losses several times. Hitting
only one of seven in a closely
played first half, Fran was forced
to throw hurriedly and a very
alert Coyote secondary was
knocking down his pitches.
Nagle Fading Too Deeply?
It appeared at times that
Nagle was fading too deeply be
hind the protecting cup set up
by his blocking backs. He was
being hit by ends and tackles
who were skirting his interfer
ence When Wiegand entered the
game he was racang oniy a nw
yards behind the line and was
getting much better protection.
Kriluaiu i;awncs.
On the brighter side of the
passing attack was the receiv
ing. Several brilliant catches
were made in the second half.
Dick Rcgier made a diving catch
of a Nagle pass in the third
quarter for a Husker first down,
and Ray Magsamen took one
over his shoulder in the fourth
quarter deep in South Dakota
Union Committees
To Tab Members
Announcement of Union com
mittee members will be made next
week, according to Gcnene Grimm,
Union Activities director.
All students who signed up for
the committees during the past
week will then be notified.
Union committees will be, small,
with specific administrative re
sponsibilities, said Mrs. Grimm. In
addition, there will be an "activ
ities pool" of workers who will be
assigned to work on certain events
from time to time.
Affnr several months of trial
work as a worker in the "activities
pool," a member may become a
regular committeeman.
Workers will be assigned to
M.nilr nn ms manv nroiccts as they
are interested in. Definite appoint
ments will be made on the Dusis
of work, enthusiasm and responsi
bility.
Kansas Stale Headline
Might Cause Confusion
territory for one of the games" j
most sparkling plays. !
On the ground the Cornhuskers j
piled up 417 yards and 16 first
downs. The blocking in the line
was good with gaping holes ;
opened up for the hard-running ;
backs.
Downfield Blocking Po6r.
The downfield blocking was
much poorer than that exhibited
in last Saturday's contest with
the freshman eleven. The maj
ority of the Scarlet's gains were
between five and eight yards, and
only the running acuity oi uie
backs made possible the longer
jaunts.
Another department showing
weaknesses was punting. South
D. ;ta gained on virtually every
exchange of kicks, aided by the
punting of Jack Van Arsdale.
One of halfback Gerald Fergu
son's boots went out of bounds
a scant five yards from the line
rr srHmmnee. The punt aver
ages showed the Coyotes aver
aging 40 yards per try against
22 for Nebraska.
V. Arsdale Top-flight rerformcr
Individual standouts for the
Husker eleven were backs Don
Rill Mueller and Ron
Clark; linemen Walt Spellman,
Fred Hawkins and Darwin saie
strom. But probably the top candidate
for player of the day honors was
Van Arsdale of the Dakotans. Van
Arsdale was the sparkplug of
the undermanned Coyote squad.
A real triple-threatcr, his punting
kept the Huskers at bay quite a
bit of the time. Harvey Hanson,
198-pound right end was the
other South Dakota hero, both of
fensively and defensively.
Any student interested in be
coming a manager for the var
ious intercollegate teams at the
I'niversity of Nebraska should
meet with Pat Tatterson Mon
day at 5 p.m. at the N Club
room in the Coliseum.
Frosli Divided
Into Fou i- Teams
Coach H. H. "Ike" Hanscom
sent his freshmen squad through
rugged drills Friday in an ef
fort to nick four full teams.
He emphasized these teams are
subject to change at any time
since he now has 11 men to work
with. The frosh players showing
the most individual improvement
will move to the first team.

Minnesota Line
Averages at 216;
Breaking Record
Nebraska will meet one of the
heaviest, if not the heaviest, Min
nesota lines in the Gophers' his
tory when Bernie Biei man brings
his team to Huskerland Saturday.
Bierman will be able to field
this potent forward wall, aver
aging 216 pounds: Jerry Mitchell
and Jack Zupetz, 195 pound ends;
Leo Nomellini, 255 pounds and
Jerry Ekberg, 228, tackles; Harry
Hendrickson. 200 and John Lun
din, 190 pounds, guards; Clayton
Tonnemaker, 246 pound center.
The Gopher backfield also
hnnctc snmr huskies. Bierman
could use three fullbacks weigh
ing over 195 pounds. They are
Dave Skrien, 200, Frank Kuzma,
195 and Ken Beiersdorf, 195.
Halfbacks Bill Bye, Ralph Mc
Allister, and Bill Elliot all weigh
180 and over. Bye is the speedy
back who lias wrecked. Nebraska's
defense the last two years.
Dick Anonsen is one of the
heaviest quarterbacks the Husk
ers will meet this year. Anonsen
weighs 180, unusually heavy for a
quarterback.
Leo Nomellini and Clayton
Tonnemaker have been picked by
many forecasters to make All
American this year. Last season
Nomellini was chosen to come all-
ctnr 1rams.
Although Bierman has 28 let
termen returning this fall, he will
depend greatly on sophomores.
Twin guards, George and John
Holm, George Hudak and Dick
Gregory, left halfbacks, are sec
ond year men called on by Bierman.
