Coach pill Glassford has in
vited 70 University of Nebraska
football prospects to start prac
tice at the Curtis Agricultural
school on Aug. 29.
The Cornhuskers will have one
month to round into condition
for their opener with the Uni
versity of ndiana here Septem
ber 30.
However, before Nebraska and
Indiana meet the Huskers will
face ' the incoming freshmen in
their annual scrimmage oh Sep
tember 23, at Memorial Stadium.
Coach Glassford and his staff,
Eob Davis, Ralph Fite and Mar
vin (Preacher) Franklin, have
selected 10 ends- 14 tackles, 14
guards, six centers, three quar
terbacks, 18 half backs and five
fullbacks for the Curtis camp.
From this group Coach Glass
ford expects to carry 50 men
during the season.
ONE OF THE biggest tasks
facing the Nebraska staff is to
find a capable understudy for
Fran Nagle at quarterback. A
senior, Nagle directed the Hus
ker offensive thru all nine games
last year without relief. Coach
Glassford is currently grooming
Frank (Dutch) Meyer, Lincoln
senior, and Louis (Buster) Leh
man, sophomore from El Paso,
Texas, as understudies. . .
Nebraska is well fortified in
the line especially at the tackles
where seven of the 14 candidates
are seniors and the remainder
are sophomores.
Leading the horde of line
busters is Charlie Toogood,
three-year letterman from North
Platte. Toogood, who weighs 220
pounds, is making a strong bid
for Ail-American honors.
THE HUSKERS have other
experienced tackles in Jim Gdd-frey-
Cozad; Dick Goeglein, Lin
coln; Bill Maxe, Brainard, Minn.;
Bob Mullen, Connellsville, Pa.;
and Herb Reese, Omaha.
Soph standouts include Don
Boll, 230 pound, 6-2, ex-marine
from Scribner; Don Carlson, 220,
from Shenandoah, la.; and
Wayne Handshy, 235, 6-3, from
Hollywood, Calif.
Coach Glassford has only two
lettcrmen at end, and six of the
ten prospects are yearlings. The
Dick Reiger of San Luis Obispo,
Calif., and Frank Simon, of
Burchard, are juiors.
The bright lights among the
sophomore are Ted Connor, 220,
6-4 All-State from Hastings;
George Paynich, 180, 6-1, from
Des Plaines, 111.; and George
Prochaska, 196 pounds, from
Ulysses.
At the guards Nebraska nas
only three lettermeu and nine
sophomores. The monogram win
ners are Art Bauer, Shubert; Kex
Hoy, Lincoln; and Walt Spell
man, Omaha. Don Strasheim,
senior from Kimball, and Don
Strasheim, senior from Kimball
are experienced at guard.
THE OUTSTANDING first-
year men are Carl Brasee,
Omaha; Keith Colson, South
Sioux City; and Dick Goll, Te-
kamah.
The center position has two
holdovers but one letterman. Joe
McGill, senior from Omaha, and
Ted Bntt, North Platte junior,
saw little action playing behind
All-America T,om Novak last
year.
Four sophomores are vieing for
the post. They are Ken Schroe-
der, Davenport; Ray Rifenbark,
Sioux City, la.; Verl Scott, Mit
chell; and Hyle Thibault, Pender.
Nebraska will never be ac
cused of hoarding tall men in its
backfield. Of .the 26 candidates
only seven are over six feet tall.
The smallest . is fivefoot-eight
inch Bill (Rocky) Mueller, three
year letter winner at halfback
from Omaha. Mueller was tne
Huskers leading bal carrier in
1949.
The Cornhuskers have only
four letter halfbacks returning.
Besides Rocky Mueller there is
Don Bloom, Omaha; Ron Clark,
Ravenna; and Gerald ierguson,
Scottsbluff.
Several high school sensations
improve the backfield situation.
Rapid Robert Reynolds, the
Grand Island mercury runner;
Jack Ladds, 6-2, 180 from Shen
andoah, la.; Tom Hopkins,
Weeping Water; Robert Barchus,
Scottsbluff; Howard Herbst,,
Cheyenne, Wyo., and Farley
Pickering, Junction City, Kas.
The fullback post will be hotly
sought by three sophomores and
two juniors including letermen
Nick Adduci. of Chictgo.
Robert- Schreiner, 195, 6-1
from Tastings, and Mill Wing
ender, with the same dimensions
contenders.
Coach Glassford will employ
the two platoon system saying
that, its "success or failure (at
Nebraska) depends upon the
speed and improvement which
our sophomores must show at
Curtis.
"Bv u sine the two platoon
system, many more boys will get
a chance to nlav. and it will add
to our reserve strength," Coach
Glassford said.
The Huskers can call upon
fnnr Inns-distance nunters in
Clark, Reynolds, Clayton Curtis
and Ferguson and three oetter
than average nassers in Nagle,
Lehman and Reynolds.

N-Club Members
Earn Prestige
One of the most active and in
fluential sports organizations on
the University of Nebraska cam
pus is the N-Club.
Carried on the rolls of the group
are letterman from all athletic
teams of the University.
Each year as N-Club initiation
time arrives, a casual wanderer
on the campus may be alarmed
to see a husky six-footer carry
ing a basketball; a burly rugged
looking individual wearing a foot
ball helmet to class, or a muscu
lar gymnast lugging an under
sized set of parallel bars,
All of this is a part of the
ritual which a Nebraska athlete
must undergo before being ad
mitted to the exclusive ranks of
the N-Club.
No greater thrill awaits a Ne
braska athlete than that of earn
ing a coveted N-sweater. And
it is also possible to receive ath
letic recognition as a freshman.
Each year freshman athletes are
awarded numeral sweaters denot
ing their class year.
The University of Nebraska N
Club is very dependent upon in
coming freshmen, since each year
graduation losses must be filled
by the underclassmen who carry
on the Cornhusker's great and
cherished athletic tradition.
