tfymdarr, September 19, 1950 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 4 0 HusEiers sswr 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. Q C3 in sy other under his tutelage, were 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 ment. The offensive line is solidly veteran as it lines up now.

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. Kansas State College will pre sent a three-pronged passing at tack this fall with Frank Hooper doing the work from the quarter back slot and halfbacks Hi Fau bion and Ted Maupin throwing the leather from the halfback posts. Maupin, the longest thrower- of the trio, is left-handed. f H 0. rSBlS CIS liiiiiries --A 7 1 1 WORKS WITH ENDS Veteran Back Gerry Ferguson returned to Husker drills Monday and was assigned to an offensive end post. son last year. Hugh Craton. on the other flank stamped himself as a devastating blocker and a better-than-fair receiver last year. Emie Kovatch, a two-year letterman who doubles as a de fensive end, has a strangle-hold on left tackle duties, pairing with Ed Bosak, a 225-pounder who was good enough to win a regular job last season as a sophomore. Back of them stand Bill Bird and Sam Talarico, another- pair of letter winners. 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.

Track Coach Ed Weir re quests all men interested in trying out for varsity track to attend the meeting scheduled 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. m"mmm' ' Jr"T inn- I, umia - " ---1ll-r- all the huffin' and puffin9 about? been a Puffin all my life!" 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 cluded in. Coach Weir's track strategy are Gene Yelkin, Lee Moore, Hobe Jones, Gene Robin son, Dale Schnakel, Bob Kis singer, Bob Krueger, Ken Jacobs and Jay Zigler.
