Reynolds, Mueller are Standouts; Adduci Sure to Return
BY BILL MUNDELL
The Cornhusker offensive pla
toon received the attention of
Coach Bill Glassford during
Tuesday afternoon's practice, The
Varsity offensive unit worked on
running plays against a defensive
array of Freshmen,
In a light drizzle of rain, Coach
Glassford's charges repeated play
after play In an effort to polish
their running game.
With quarterback Fran Nagle
directing the attack, the Varsity
showed some nice ball-handling
and, at times, some fine down
field blocking.
Good Running
Bobby Reynolds and Bill
Mueller, alternating at the left
and right halves respectively,
gave some displays of good
broken field running with both
making some dashes that went
all the way.
"Not much can be determined
about the night's blocking, ac
cording to Gkissford, because the
use of aprons on the defensive
Frosh."
"Moral is definitely high,".
added Coach Bill. "After a brief
lull due to numerous Injuries, the
boys are back in good spirits."
Adding to the increase of moral
and which should please all
Husker fans is the fact that Nick
Adduci, once feared to be out for
the season, will be back in the
fighting soon. Nick's leg injury
is responding much better than
had been expected.
Ron Clark, speedy back, is still
on the sick list, an upset stomach
keeping him out of action.
Quick Kicks
In addition to his running,
Reynolds was getting-off some
good quick-kicks in Tuesday's
skirmishes, and these against the
Varsity defensive platoon later in
the afternoon.
And this defensive unit was not
loafing during the offensive pla
toon's busy afternoon. They were
opposing a Freshman offensive
group that was mixing both run
ning and passing. Kickoff plays
also received attention in this
group.

Opening kick-off for the Ne
braska football season comes
this Saturday at 2 p.m. when
Coach Bill Glassford's University
of Nebraska Cornhuskers meet
the top Scarlet and Cream fresh
man team of several years.
This game will be the dress
rehearsal for the opening game
against Indiana University Satur
day, Sept. 30.
Plagued by minor injuries, the
Varsity gridders have not been
able to reach the form hoped for
after a successful fall training
period at the University of Ne
braska's Agricultural School at
Curtis.
Number one casualty at the
present time is Nick Adduci who
is ailing from a leg injury that
might keep him out of action for
some time.
Adduci, who had been primar
ily figured as a line backer, had
also been running at the fullback
position with the offensive pla
toon. Coach Glassford plans on hav
ing another hard week of work
outs prior to the freshman game
and then tapering off the week
before the opener.
Load on Curtis
If Adduci is sidelined the full
backing chores will fall upon the
shoulders of Sophomore Kay
Curtis, 19-years-old and 185
pounds, whose home is at Laurel,
Neb.
Curtis improved rapidly during
the Curtis camp, but he is not
outstanding in any one particular
phase. His all-around ability was
indicated on several occasions.
He runs hard, knows what to do
with a pass after catching it, and
he appeared to be a better than
average receiver. The only thing
he lacks is that well known sea
soning under fire.
Bobby Reynolds, Grand Island
sophomore, also showed flashes
of football know-how, but as
Cornhusker mentor, Glassford,
point out. Curtis and Reynolds
are first-year varsity performers
"and you never know what a
sophomore will do under game
pressure."
Ron Clark, who paced the Big
Seven in punt returns with 16 for
247 yards, has added a few much
needed pounds. One sportswriter
described Clark's ability to thread
a broken field as "like a wisp of
smoke being blown through a
valley."
Mueller Back
Bill Mueller, senior halfback
from Omaha, and the Cornhusk
er's leading ground gainer in
1949. is described by Glassford
as one of the "hardest running
little backs I have ever seen."
Bill weighs 170 pounds and stands
at 5 feet 8 inches.
Mueller handled the ball 142
times in Conference games for a
net gain of 559 yards. Merwin
Hodel, Colorado fullback, was the
only back in the Big Seven busier
than Mueller. Hodel handled 169
times for 748 yards.
Fran Nagle, quarterback, ap
peared sharper with his passes in
the early workouts. He has been
running with more speed and
confidence this fall.

Cyclones Meet
Buffs Saturday
The Iowa State-Colorado series
leadership as well as that of the
Big Seven conference will be at
stake here Saturday when the
two teams open the 1950 foot
ball season.
. The two teams arc now tied at
a pair of victories each in the
series which started in 1946. That
year the Buffs, not then a mem
ber of the conference, scored a
13-7 win over the Cyclones. The
following year at Ames Colorado
fought out a 7-0 win and a 2-up
lead over Iowa State.
Initial victory for Iowa State
came in 1948 at homecoming.
After spotting Colorado a 7-0
lead on a fumbled kickoff, the
Cyclones worked back to an 18-7
win. Last year the series was
knotted at Boulder with a 13-6
victory for Iowa State.
Of greater importance than
series leadership, however, will
be the Big Seveij leadership. If
Iowa State wins Saturday the
Cyclones will be at the top of the
loop standings for at least two
more weeks.

Fundamentals
Stressed in
Frosh Play
By Bob Bnnki
Hteff HporU Writer
One of the latest "new looks"
in college football and it wasn't
dreamed up by one of those gay
ladle's fashion designers in
Paris is two platoon system
which has one team specializing
in offense and one team taking
care of the defensive work. But
Ike Hanscom, Nebraska's fiery
little freshman football mentor,
Is evidently a firm believer in
football players who can go into
a game and play all the way, de
fense or offense.
Hanscom, starting his third
year as frosh coach, stresses the
point that the players he turns
out this year will be able to play
either way. He is giving his
squad a good taste of both in the
early workouts.
Thus far, the squad has been
scrimmaging a great deal with
the Varsity which hasn't per
mitted them to devote much
time to their own workouts. The
frosh has been pushing the upper
squadmen all the way in the
early scrimmages.
Fundamentals First
As far as their own sessions
are concerned, Hanscom makes
it plain that fundamentals are the
thing uppermost in his mind. He
isn't worrying a lot about
whether his team has a spotless
record. A thorough believer in
the theory that the arts of block
ing and tackling, things which
have sometimes seemed to be
absent in Husker football, Hans
com doesn't intend that the boys
will be lacking in these things
when they journey on up to
meet Head Man Glassford' and
his staff.
Hanscom figures that the
freshmen have about two weeks
of solid work behind them. He
estimates that about one hundred
men have checked out uniforms
for the yearling team. The frosh
will close their season at the
same time the Varsity checks in
their equipment.
Two Games
The freshmen will get a fair
idea of the competition they will
meet in future Varsity games
when they meet the Kansas State
and University of Colorado fresh
man teams this year. They play
Kansas State on the home field
on October 21 and will meet the
Buffalo yearlings at Manhattan
on October 28.
Commenting on this year's
squad in comparison to squads
of other years, Hanscom says,
"Our all around line weight isn't
as heavy. The backs are taller
and speedier. We have a lot of
depth at the ends. The line
weight from tackle to tackle isn't
as heavy as it could be."
The Frosh Coach isn't making
this, prediction, but he did say
that the team members let it be
known that they intend to pull
all the tricks they know and are
pretty confident of crossing the
double stripe at least once in the
Frosh-Varsity game Saturday.
Outstanding
He lists the following men as
outstanding at their positions.

With four veteran gymnasts
from last year's squad returning
for action this year, Coach Jake
Geicr expects his 1950 squad to
be ace high in experience.
Leading the list of lettermen
returning is versatile Al Duna
van who has been a member of
the team for the past three
years. This year Dunavan will
be on full time duty, working all
six events. The second work
horse on this year's aggregation
is Paul Hughes who will bo
working five events. Hughes let
tered last year while he was
working the high bar, parallel
bars, rings, and tumbling.
Bob Yarwood and Art Hill
man complete the list of letter
men on the team. Yarwood and
Ends Ted James, Bill Giles,
Vince Galvin, and Bob Robert
son. Tackles Jerry Mlnnick,
John Machisic, Clinton Gallegher,
and Jones. Guards Charley Gas
son, Cliff Dale, Marvin Anderson,
and Ted Stoddard. Centers
James Qulnn, and Jim Oliver.
Getting the first call at quar
terback have been John Bor
dogna and Don Norris. Leading
the halfbacks are Ray Novak,
Tom Carodine, Harold Gallcgher,
and Dick Westin. The fullbacks
showing the way are Don Vogt,
Bill Noble, and Cliff Hopp,
Inquries have been kept down
pretty well so far. Machisic has
a bad shoulder, Gallegher was
recently vaccinated for small pox,
Bordogna has a bad hip, and
Gasson is bothered with a bad
leg.
They don't call him "slew foot"
for nothing. Glenn Channell,
senior Kansas State end from
Kansas City, Kan., has by far the
largest foot of anyone on the
football squad. His 13 lk founda
tions always pose a special prob
lem for the equipment manager.
Smallest feet are those, of Gene
Gill, Cherryvale halfback, who
skips along in size 6 .
Fullback Elmer Creviston, who
starred as a sophomore halfback
last fall, has only one regret
about the 1949 season. He suf
fered a skull fracture in the
middle of the third quarter in
the final game against Missouri
and was carried into the dressing
room. "I sure wanted to see the
rest of that game," the Manhat
tan husky told Coach Ralph Graham.
The deadline for entries for
Interdenominational and In
dependent football teams has
been extended to Friday, Sept.
22 at 5 p.m. Entries should be
taken to room 103 P.E. or
called into the I-M office.

marriage during the summer.
Moving up from the freshman
squad are Jerry Tubbs and Ira
Epstein. Tubbs excels on th
flying rings while Epstein spend
his time working on the mats.
Other boys working with th
varsity are Mark Newman, Bob
Norton, Bob Swalm, and John
Sinclair.
Assistant Coach of the team is
Phil Sprague who graduated
from the Univeristy two years)
ago. While at Nebraska Phil was
the mainstay of the gymnastic
team, and Coach Geier feels
that Sprague's assistance will
contribute much to working th
team into top shape.
Team manager will be Don
