Glassford Mourns Loss;
Adduci to Have Full Load
By Kimon Karabatsos
Gerry Ferguson, the Huskers'
hard-charging fullback, was lost
for Saturday's tilt with Iowa State
when he suffered an ankle injury
during the last play of Tuesday
night's scrimmage.
Glassford mourned the loss of
"Fergie" because he was expect
ing the big fullback to provide
the power to push the Huskers
across the goal line when they got
within range.
It was first thought that the
Scottsbluff fullback had broken
his eft ankle, but an X-ray dis
proved that belief. Gerry might be
out for the remainder of the
season.
Ron Clark, who leads the con
ference in punt return yardage, is
still side-lined with a bad bruise,
but Glassford expects him to be
ready for his starting assignment
against Iowa State Saturday.
During the first part of the aft
ernoon's practice. Glassford had
his Huskers working on offensive
plays.
Ground Offense Good
The Huskers' newly found
ground offense which took on an
added bit of brilliance against
Kansas last Saturday was look
ing much better especially when
the varsity was able to push the
ball across the goal line from ten
yards out.
Fran Nagle was guiding the at
tack from the quarterback spot
with Harry Meginnis and Bill Mu
eller at the halfback spots. Nick
Adduci displayed more than his
usual amount of. drive from the
fullback slot.
In the line were Ralph Dam
kroger and Bob Schneider at ends,
Charley Toogood and Dick Goeg
lein at tackles, Fred Hawkins and
Bob Maxe at guards. Tom Novak
was going at full speed despite
the bruises he received in the
Jayhawk tussle at center.
Meginnis, who replaced Ron
Clark at one of the halfback spots,
broke loose for a couple of long
runs, going the full distance.
Mueller, after getting through the
line, out-maneuvered the secon
dary in great style and entered
the pay-dirt area three times.
Adduci Moves Up.
Taking the burden of the power
drives was Adduci. The hard
charging fullback hit the line with
such force that he bowled over
several defensive men.
Going into the scrimmage all
out, Glassford had Damkroger and
Schneider at ends, Toogood and
Goeglein at tackles, Walt Spell
man and Mike DiBiase at guards
with Tom Novak at center.
In the baokfield. the Husker
mentor had Nagle calling signals
with Mueller and Meginnis run
ning from the halfback positions.
Adduci interchanged with Gerry
Ferguson at fullback.
The latter part of the scrim
mage found Coach Glassford with
his team down on the ten-yard
line, trying power plays to get the
ball over the goal line from there.
Besides those already men
tioned, Glassford used ends, Frank
Simon and Dick Regier; tackles,
Don Minnick and Herb Reese, and
center, Paul McGill.
In the backfield he used Kenny
Fischer, who traded off with
Nagle at quarterback, and used
Ferguson most of the time at full
back. Glassford, after taking a good

Presbyterian Student House is
IM's 1949 AU-Unaf filiated foot
ball champion. The Presbyterians
earned this title Monday night by
defeating Independent Champions,
Lilies V-5's, by a 1-0 score.
As was expected, it was of-
! fense versus defense with the of
fense getting the slight edge in
score. The Lilies have one of the
best defensive teams in football
this year while the Presbys rank
very high in offensive power.
As it was, it was yardage that
decided the game, the regulation
game ending a scoreless tie.
Presby won the game- with 24
yards as compared to a minus one
for the Lilies.
Statistics Favor Presby
The game was hard fought all
the way with both teams threat
ening but no one scoring. The
Presbyterian high-geared offense
took control of the statistics which
favored the winners by a wide
margin. Presby earned 11 first
downs to four by the Lilies, while
the victors completed 13 out of 22
passes as compared to 7 out of IS
for the losers.
Presby drove to the Lily two
yard line on one occasion and to
the four at another time, but
seemed to have a bad case of
Huskeritis and couldn't push
across. The Lilies made one sus
tained drive that carried to the
Presby 14.
Wednesday night will feature
the last game of the year, a fight
for the All-University Seven-man
Championship. The new Unaffili
ated champs will face Brown Pal
ace, the Fraternity Champs, at
4:30 p.m. on Ag College sod, in
a game that could go either way.

the Huskers' running plays to the
Nth degree.
Ground Offense's Double Purpose
Glassford used his time on of
fense for a double purpose im
proving his ground offense and
sharpening his defense. Iowa
State has a powerful running at
tack, capable of raising as much
havoc as their heralded passing
attack.
Fullback Bill Chauncev 190-!
pound fullback, has gained 446
yards for the Cyclones. Chauncey,
by the way, leads the conference
in the number of times carrying
the ball, with 109 tries, despite
the fact that he has missed a cou
ple of games.
Contrary to many reports, there
are still plenty of tickets left for
the game Saturday.
Merl Ross, business manager of
Iowa State athletics, announced
that more than 4,000 tickets are
still available. Ross was prompted
to make that statement because
of the unusually heavy demand
for tickets has led many Nebraska
and Iowa State fans to believe
that they were all gone.
"Not only do we have plenty
of tickets on hand," Ross said,
"but we'll still have seats avail
able at any time this week."
Three'Rookies'
Among Top
Big 7 Athletes
College football can be played
without the aid of high school
experience. Three first stringers
are out to prove it in the No-braska-Iowa
State game Satur
day. Jim Doran, Iowa State, junior
from Boone, has never played
high school ball and is leading
Big Seven pass receivers. In the
Oklahoma game Doran was the
second member of a pass combi
nation that netted 203 yards
against the number three team
in the nation. Bill Weeks was
the main thorn in the Sooner's
side with his bullet passes.
For the Cornhuskers it will be
Ralph Damkrogger and Fran
Nagle who never played high
school football.
Nagle, after a slow start, is be
ginning to round into form and
in the Kansas game completed
many timely aerials, for two Ne
braska touchdowns.

The University lost one of its most loyal workers last
week when Robert "Buck" Barger stepped out as assistant
trainer.
Barger, who was assistant to Elwyn "Doc" Dees before
the old trainer retired to his farm in Kansas, quit the athletic
department to concentrate on his studies. He is majoring
in physical education and plans to be a trainer after grad
uating. Buck will long be remembered for his amazing knack
for wrapping ankles. He treated each player as a special
responsibility and worked consistantly about each little
injury.
He has never left school since entering as a freshman.
Last summer, in addition to his school work, Buck toiled
long hours preparing for the jaunt to Curtis. Since James
Rideout, Doc Dees successor, was not on hand, Barger had
all the preparations to make for the fall practice.
This year, "Buck" took over the duties of freshmen
trainer. He handled all the aches and pains of the more
than 100 frosh footballers.
