Adduci's Condition Still
Main Husker Headache
BY KTMOX KARABAYSOS
f Sports Kdttor, Pally br-NkiO
Coach J. William Glassford
took it easy with his 1950 crop of
Comhuskers Monday night and
it wasnt because he felt they
were in shape.
The master of the gridiron was
worrying over the injury hex
that hit the Huskers 11 strong
the past week.
One major change was being
anticipated by Glassford. Gerry
Furguson was working out with
the ends Monday. Furguson was
in full uniform for the first time
after laying off for a spell with
a knee injury.
Don Boll was working out with
the defensive squad under as
sistant Coach Neal Mehring. Boll
had been on the injury list.
Adduci?
Nick Adduci, the number one
worry of the Husker camp, still
is on the doubtful list. The hard
charging Chicago fullback might
be lost for the season.
No new reports were available
on Adduci because the swelling
had not gone down. Officials de
clined to make any comment on
him.
George Paynich was out run
ning, but he was not in pads.
Ron Clark, of Kansas State
fame, was still nursing his rib
injury. Clark tore some muscles
loose from his ribs, making it
hard for him to breathe and run.
Trainer Blaine Rideout had
him under the sun lamp for a
while Monday afternoon. Clark
returned to the practice field to
watch during the frosh-varsity
scrimmage.

Jays Favored
Over Powerful
Texas Christian
There is sufficient evidence
mounting that Kansas University
will find its season opener with
Texas Christian this coming Sat
urday, September 23, at Law
rence, one of the toughest of
the coming year.
The mounting evidence con
sists mainly of Dutch Meyer, the
cunning little man who has pi
loted the Horned Frogs through
their last sixteen seasons, and his
brand new offense which he
calls T-wing.
Meyer's T-wing has the quar
terback and fullback lined up in
conventional T-formation style,
but the halfbacks are set in dou-ble-wingback
formation.
Tnis isn't all the Toads have
to offer. They have a large
array of big backs, all waiting
and fighting ior a starting berth
against Kansas. A group of fast
up and cpming sophomores are
pushing some of the more ex
perienced players out of their
expected starting positions.
Besides all this Kansas is at a
definite psychological disadvan
tage. The Horned Frogs enter
this game without a defeat in
seven intersectional games. The
best Kansas has been able to
muster is two ties in 1946 and
1947 by their Big Seven co
championship clubs.
When the college all-stars
beat the Philadelphia Eagles in
Soldier's Field this year, it mar
ked the first time the college
boys had won the all-star clas
sic since 1947.

driving themselves to full steam
in preparation for the varsity
tangle Saturday afternoon.
While the one section scrim
maged Indiana plays against the
varsity, Hanscom and his assist
ants worked their section with
fundamentals and plays.
The frosh have only four more
days to prepare themselves for
the varsity game. They have been
practicing only two weeks.
A center-duel Is raging with
the varsity Joe McGill and Ted
Britt (a couple of loo-alikes in
football togs) are the top two
centers and both will see plenty
of action during the season.
McGill has been working
mostly with the offensive unit
while Britt has been seeing more
defensive play. Both wnll prob
ably be used at any time during
the game.
Hoosiers Might Have
Two Starting Sophs
Going into the third week of
preseason preparation, Indiana's
resurging Hoosiers appear likely
to have two sophomores in their
lineup when they face the start
ing whistle at Lincoln on Sept.
30 against much-improved Ne
braska. One position quarterback
is a certainty to be filled by a
first year man. All five signal
callers on Coach Clyde Smith's
squad are sophomores. The other
is right halfback.
Final selection at quarterback,
likely to be in doubt up to game
time, shapes up to be between
Lou D'Achille. a 5-8, left-handed
mite, and Ray Petrauskas, a
sharp-passer of more substantial
proportions. Another pair of
yearlings, John Zuger and Dick
Ashbumer. are close enough be
hind them not to be counted out.
Wheat, 178 cars; corn 104; oats,
Eugene "Pat" Gedman, rated
one of the hardest running pros
pects to arrive on the Hoosier
campus in years, currently is fill
ing the right halfback spot and
gives every indication of staying
there. A left halfback in high
school and during his freshman
year at I. U Gedman was moved
to the right side last week in
order to cram as much running
power as possible in the Crimson
backfield.
Hated t Move Him"
"I hated to move him," ex
plained Coach Smith, " because
he's a natural for left half. But
leaving him at left would mean
having to alternate him with Bob
Robertson. They are two of our
best running backs and we feel
we need to have them both in at
the same time.
At fullback. Senior Al Tutsie
ancf Junior Jerry Van Ooyen,
both lettermen, are waging a hot
battle for the starting assign

For Colorado U
Iowa State Gridders settle
down today to the final week of
preparation for the opening of
the 1950 football season. On Sat
urday trie Cyclones face Colo
rado. The game 1950 opener for
each team will be the most im
portant of the day in Big Seven
football. While other league
teams are playing first or sec
ond non-conference contests, the
Cyclones and Buffs will be get
ting their first taste of confer
ence competition one of the
earliest openings since the loop
was formed in 1928.
Coach Abe Stuber and his staff
will soon call a halt to the double
drills for the Cyclones, a state
of practice that has existed since
Aug. 31. Stuber feels that the
squad needs more rest now that
conditioning and timing are
coming along.
On the basis of early work
outs Stuber is expected to stick
with veterans of last year in
most spots. He has shifted some
men from the defensive unit to
offense so there will be changes
in personnel. Only four offen
sive regulars were - holdovers
from 1949 so the defensive unit
was raided.
As a result the defense for the
Cyclones is likely to be almost
entirely sophomoric this year.
Although the Cyclones will
continue to polish offensive
formations, Stuber is expected to
devote more and more attention
to defensing Colorado as the
week goes by.

Ed Bosak, a 225-pounder who
was good enough to win a regular

Back of them stand Bill Bird
and Sam Talarico, another- pair

Powerful Guards
Steve Georgakis, a tackle dur
ing the 1943 and 1949 campaigns,
has been moved to left guard and
Bill Smith, the squad's only three
letterman, has been holding
down the other guard chore.
Another veteran, Danny Thomas,
stands ready to move in, but the
remainder of the reserve strength
is largely untested.
Hoosier coaches have few
worries in connection with their
centers. Bob Stebbins. a burly
veteran of the last two years,
rates the edge at present but is
being pressed by Jack Dolan, a
1949 letter winner whose im
provement has caught Smith's
eye. Mel Becket, hampered by '
injuries last season, came along
fast in spring practice and was
picked the squad's most improved
lineman. Becket is more likely to
be seen on defense but he is be
ing groomed for offensive work'
when necessary.

Track Coach Ed Weir re

for tonight at 5 p.m. in the
classroom of the Field House.
Partin Looking
For Victorious
Mat Season
"The boys will be ready," that's
the way Al Partin, newly ap
pointed Nebraska University
wrestling coach, looks at the
wrestling situation.
Young Al, he's only 28, started
his wrestling career at Proviso
Township high school in May
wood, Illinois. He first chose
swiming as his winter sport and
held the title of Suburban Lake
breast stroke champion in 1939.
He changed to wrestling and in
1941 was the 175 lb., state champ.
Al also played fullback on the
football team.
Served With Navy
Al's progress in wrestling was
arrested while he served as a
sailor in the Navy, attaining the
rank of Boatswain Mate 2nd
class. Serving mainly in the At
lantic area, England, France, and
the Caribean. He saw a lot oi
action on his ship the "Mer
mansk." Cornell College and wrestling
became his main interests after
the war, not forgetting his wife
and daughter, of course.
He came back to form fast and
in 1946 won the National A.A.U.
and Collegiate championships.
While at the National A.A.U. in
San Francisco he received an
awar(j jor
outstanding sports
manship. This same year he won
the Metropolitan A.A.U, 191-lb
championship. In 1949 he was
third in the A.A.U. and in 1950
he was second.
Coaeh Optimistic
Al is optimistic about the com
ing season and feels he has good
reason to feel that way. His main
reason is the large number of
"good boys' crowding each other
off the mat so early in the sea
son. The first meet isn't until
January 13 .with Oklahoma A.M.
This will be one of the toughest
matches of the season for the
wrestling squad.
The schedule includes two
trips, one in the east and one in
the west, each three-match. The
eastern trip includes Iowa State
Teachers, last year's N.C.AA.
and A.A.U. champs and Cornell,
which Nebraska has never beat
en. "This year we're gonna beat
Cornell," is the way Al looks at
this meet and most of the rest of
them.
All University f Nebraska
track men, Varsity and
Freshmen, are asked to meet
at 5 p.m. on Tuesday at the
Field Pause.

Weir's Worries
BY BOB BANKS
With the old theory firmly in
mind which the past master of
Nebraska Cornhusker Cinder
ology, Henry F. Schulte, handed
down to him that championship
teams spring from team depth
Coach Ed Weir sets about the
task of molding a 1950-51 squad
that will carry on the Husker
tradition of good teams and well
conditioned men.
Coach Weir is counting heavily
on the Nebraska wea'her to
string along on his side this year,
something which hasn't been true
in other years. The squad lost
a lot of valuable time last spring
because climatic conditions
wouldn't permit them to practice.
They are going to up the lost
time this fall in the early work
outs. The squad is planning on
getting in six weeks of solid
work outside before they pack up
their gear and move indoors.
Hit by Graduation
Another hairpin which makes
Coach Weir scratch his hair and
frown is the tremendous loss by
graduation last June. Out of a
total of 105 points scored by the
Husker outdoor conference
champs, 64 were racked up by
men who received their degrees.
Replacements are expected to
come mainly through a fine frosh
squad from last year. However,
these men are untried in confer
ence competition and the old
bugagoo, the "sophomore jinx,"
has ruined many a good man in
his first role as a varsity per
former. In looking the situation over
Coach Weir says, "Last year's
team won the outdoor track
trophy on the basis of all-around
team strength. This is shown by
the number of men that each
school qualified. After the quali
fying was finished, Nebraska had
17 men who had tickets for the
final events while our nearest
rival had 12. In amassing the
105 points, we scored only three
first places."
Coach Weir is counting on the
same prescription to carry the
Huskers along this year.
Meeting at 5 P. M.
He urges all men who are in
Wilbur Volz, Tiger halfback in
1946, '47 and '43, has" been re
called to active duty with the
U. S. Army Air Forces. After
graduation Volz played one year
with the Buffalo Bills profes
sional team, and w'as under con
tract to coach football at Caruth
ersville (Mo.) high this year.

may think this "bird" is funny
terested in trying out for the
cinder team to attend the meet
ing scheduled for tonight in the
Field House at 5 p. m. Every man
will be given an opportunity to
show his wares and will receive
plenty of help in fundamentals.
He points out that there is a
good chance for a man to un
cover some talent he never knew
he possessed in these early work
outs. The men will have a chance
to letter. The Husker mono
grams are awarded on the point
basis. The Husker coach has a
fine indoor and outdoor program
lined up for the fans and athletes
this year.
The Husker sights will be
aimed first at the two-mile
season.
Meets are scheduled with Colo
rado at Boulder on October 14
Kansas State at Lincoln on Oc
tober 21, Kansas at Lawrence on
October 28, and Missouri at Lin
coln on November 21. The sea
son will wind up on November
1 1 when the schools hold the con
ference meet. The site of the
meet is still undetermined.
Esrf Aydin, "The Tireless
Turk," may be back to lead the
team this year. Other men in
