Blight spot of the Cornhusker
scrimmage with the freshmen
Tuesday night was the varsity's
o fi'e nse.
Contrary to last Saturday's
game with Penn State, the Hunk
ers were able to get that spark
that sets their offense on fire.
Bill Mueller mas the bright spot
of the scrimmage, breaking loose
for a couple of spectacular runs.
One of them would hare been
railed hack had it been in a regu
lar game because the varsity was
guilty of illegal use of their hands.
Passer Fran Nagle was suited
up in complete pads, but Glass
ford did not use him in scrim
mage. Nagle is still nursing a
bruised hand. Gerry Ferguson was
out, but he was not in pads. He
injured his knee and was not able
to work out.
Reynolds Works T
The freshmen, using Okla
homa's split-T formation offense,
had the Varsity reeling. Bobby
Reynolds woiked the T for the
freshmen. Reynolds proved to be
very adept in the formation as he
out-foxed the Varsity time and
time again.
Glassford was very much con
cerned about the way the Frosh
went through his boys. The Corn
husker head coach tried several
different defensive formations,
but was not able to find one that
could definitely stop 1he Frosn.
In the offensive department.
Harry Meginnis shared honors
with Muelier in breaking away
from scrimmage. Meginnis. fleet-
looted trackman, consistently
broke loose for long gains.
Fergie Leads Rashers
Fer guson, who has been moved
lo fullback, has the leading rush
ing average, 8.1 yards per try.
Mueller has proved to be the
workhorse for the Glassford gang,
grinding out 248 yards in 57 trips
with the ball.
Ron Clark, Ravenna's contribu
tion to the "Cornhusker football
team, leads the Huskers in three
departments and is tied with Don
Bloom for scoring honors with 12
points.
Clark has a 34.4 yards punt av
erage and has returned six punts
tor 161 yards. His four kickoff
returns have netted 142 yards
one was 3 00 yards for a touch
down. Bob Schneider and Ray Mag
