Downfield Blocking Looks
Sharp in Wednesday Drill
By Bill Mundell
It wasn't fit outside for man or sports writer Wed
nesday afternoon, but that didn't keep Coach Bill Glass
ford and his Husker gridders from putting in some im
portant practice time. In a driving rain storm, the varsity
was sent through a long session against the frosh.
Emphasis for the
second
etraight day was placed on in
dividual assignments and down
field blocking, the offensive
platoon getting the majority of
Coach Glassford's attention.
Tuesday's workout gave Coach
Bill something to smile about
and after Wednesday's skirmish
in the rain, he must have a big
grin on his face for Wednesday's
practice appeared to be even
sharper than that of the day be
fore. Downfield blocking was espec
ially noticeable. The guards and
tackles were doing excellent
jobs of following the play down
field and putting in some key
blocks. Showing up well in this
department Wednesday was
Charlie Toogood, veteran tackle.
One of Charlie's downfield
blocks was some 20 yards be
yond the line of scrimmage and
bowled over two frosh would
be tacklers at once.
Only- dark spot on a day of
Indians Club
Bosox Tivice
The Cleveland Indians con
siderably helped the New York
Yankees and Detroit Tigers in
their quest of the American
League pennant Wednesday
afternoon by cooling off a red
hot Boston Red Sox outfit twice.
The scores of the two Cleveland
victories were 6-3 and 7-1.
At the same time, the league
leading Yanks squashed the
Chicago White Sox, 8-1, and De
troit rallied for a 6-5 win over
the Philadelphia A's.
The Indians started fast in the
first game of the twin-bill, scor
ing twice in the first frame on
Bob Kennedy's double" and Luke
Easter's home run. They added
a third tally in the third inning
on Kennedy's second double and
Larry Doby's single.
In the fifth inning, the victors
took a 5-0 lead on singles by
Doby and Jim Hegan and a
double by Dale Mitchell.
The Sox rallied for two in the
sixth on Goodman's single with
men on second and third and
tallied once more in the seventh
but outside of that, the Boston
ians were completely handcuffed
by the American League's top
pitcher, Bob Lemon, who picked
up his 21st win of the year.
Lemon walked five and struck
out nine as he bested young
Chuck Stobbs of the Sox.
Doby, Kennedy, and Mitchell
all connected for the Indians.
A two-run homer started the
Lidians to their second victory
of the day, also, this one coming
off the bat of Joe Gordon in the
second frame after Ray Boone
had singled.
An error on Red Socker Walt
Dropo and a booming triple by
Boone added two more tallies in
the fourth stanza.
Dropo partially made-up for
his miscue in the seventh inning,
blasting out a home-run for the
only Boston run of the game. In
the bottom of the same inning,
the victoriods Clevelanders went
hillhappy and with four hits
tallied three more times.

good practicing was the num
erous fumbles by the Husker
backs, the downpour of rain
making the ball plenty slippery.

The frosh were allowed to go
to their second shower of ' the
afternoon while the two varsity
platoons continued in the rain.
With this set-up, punting took
over the practice agenda, with
protection for the punter fore
most for the offensive unit.
Glassford rotated his crew,
using no set lineups.
Ike Hanscom's frosh continued
to give spirited opposition for the
varsity.

At Work for
Boston College
. NORMAN. Okla. Although six
players are benched with, in
juries and Bill Price, senior end,
lost for the season because of the
fracture of a knee bone, the Okla
homa sooners are working furi
ously for their opener here Sep
tember 30 against Boston Col
lege, first eastern team ever to
play at Owen field.
Coach Bud Wilkinson and his
varsity coaching aids, Gomer
Jones, Frank "Pop" Ivy, Bill Jen
nings and George Lynn, have
been pleased lately with the
hustle of such sophomores as
End Kay Keller of Thomas,
Okla., Tackle George Cornelius
of Cherokee. Okla.; Halfback
Merrill Green of Chickasha,
Okla., and Fullback Raymond
Powell of Perryton, Tex.
The battle for right end be
tween the 190-pound Keller and
Frankie Anderson, swashbuckling
senior from Oklahoma City, has
attracted the attention of the
squad.
Keller, a speedy 18-year old,
has shown the greatest improve
ment of any sophomore lines
man. He is beginning to learn
the rudiments of blocking and
he hustles and plays for keeps.
Anderson, a four-year veteran
who is a fine Saturday player, is
speeding up the tempo of his
practice as Keller sparkles ahead
of him.
Powell the Texas panhandle
youngster from Perryton, has
risen to No. 3 in the position
where Coach Wilkinson says
Oklahoma is strongest fullback.
Powell runs slitheringly down the
middle, maneuvering like a half
back. Lack of speed is his big
gest drawback but Wilkinson's
daily sprints may help that.
Buff Hodel
MhyLeadBig7
BOULDER, Colo. While
Coach Dal Ward has a lot of
headache, in trying to mold his
sophomore-dominated Colorado
Buff gridders at least he has
something else a lot of Big Seven
coaches would like: Merwin
Hodel.
A junior fullback, Hodel was
the Buffaloes' top ground-gainer
in 1949. It looks like the big boy
wants to repeat in 1950, maybe
even try to top the conference.
Hodel, 195 pounds, has been
blocking and running with fer
vor in the closing days of the
pre-season training here. He
started out somewhat non
chalant in the first few practices.
Something bit him; there's no
telling what Teally happened.
Anyway, Hodel recently has been
socking the sawdust out of dum
mies on blocking assignments. He
shifts into high gear every time
he tduches the ball. He seems to
enjoy "etting behind the secon
dary defense as though he had
a bet on with himself.
He's giving his own squad fits
when it comes to stopping his
power. In 1949, Hodel finished
19th in the nation amonf, ground
gainers. He had a net yardage of
748 for a 4.4 average yards per
carry. A Rockford, 111., boy, Ho
del also snagged 14 passes last
year for another 174 yards.

Hoosier Vet May

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. A 27-year-old
war veteran who wants
to play football so much no one
can ignore him is likely to end
up Indiana's first-string fullback,
despite the fact he has a hard
time boosting the hand on the
scales to 175 pounds.
He is Al Tutsie, who hails
from Republic, Pa., where Coach
Clyde Smith started his coach
ing career. A pepper-pot and
strictly team-man "n the field,
Tutsie's hustle anc .ashing run
ning amazes everyone.
"You'd think he's the eagerest
sophomore on the squad," chuck
les Smith, "instead of the oldest
man on the roster. But he's got
the fire and desire to play foot
ball and there's always a place
on the team for a boy like that."
Tutsie, an Air Force veteran of
the European campaign, won his
place by sheer persistence. A
transfer from Duquesne, it was
thought he had only one year of
eligibility at Indiana. Conse
quently, the Hoosiers' rebuilding
program didn't' count heavily on
him. He still was impressive as
first substitute at left halfback,
gaining 52 yards in 11 carries in
the opener against Notre Dame,
but he played jnly 87 mir.utes
all season. He came back in an
emergency to play a bang-up
game at fullback against Purdue
in the Tinal game.
