Tuesday, October 17, 1950 Ttovmd AM&di it Lions to Use New Offense In Hopes of Downing Huskers Nebraska's Cornhuskers and Penn State's Nittany Lions meet for the third time this Saturday in Memorial Stadium. Foremost in the minds of the Cornhuskers now is not only to make up for their defeat last Saturday, but also to avenge the 22-7 shellack ing they took at the hands of the Lions last year, And it's a bet that the Corn huskers will be in a better state of mind for this Saturday's tussle than they were for the Colorado tilt. Gone is their unblemished record and back home they'll come after two weeks on the road. You can be sure the climate will agree with them here at home. Penn State brings a different team to Lincoln than that which walloped the Huskers in Penn sylvania last year. Only ten lettermen remain from their last year's squad. The ten, six of them seniors, will be very much in evidence when the two teams take the field. Of the lettermen, all of whom saw action against the Huskers a year ago, seven will play of fensively, and the others de fensively. The offensive players CoTirtesv of Th Journal GEORGE PROHASKA Ran with the varsity as defensive end Monday night. are linemen Ken Bunn, Jim Barr, Chuck Godlasky, and John Smi dansky, while the backs are Vince O'Bara, Tony Orsini, and Owen Dougherty. Dougherty, captain and half back, plays both offensively and defensively but the other letter- men, all defensive specialists, are Center John Podrasky, and backs Len Shephard and Chan Johnson. Two Scored Of these ten players, two fig ured in last year's scoring. Smi dansky took a 13-yard pass from Bill Luther for the second Lion touchdown, and Orsini scored the third from six yards out oh an off-tackle thrust. The Staters also bring a new offense, the first diversion from the single wing in modern Penn State football history. Master of this offense, the popular wing-T, is Charles A. "Rip" Engle, 43-year-old strate gist who gave up a secure post at Brown University to accept the Penn State challenge. Until Engle took over the reins in June, Penn State had been primarily a single wing team. While progress has been neces sarily slow, Engle's offensive maneuvers have caught the fancy of the Pennsylvania fans and Lion followers are freely predict ing a high-scoring team in fu ture years. The main source of worry at the moment is a quar terback, without whom any ver sion of the T is likely to sputter and spurt without going any where particularly. Vince O'Bara, a converted tail back, is the No. 1 man at the present time and, while he has come a long way in a short time, Wildcats Begin Cage Practice Basketball practice will get underway Monday at Kansas State College. Altho most of the returning veterans and top new prospects have been working out informally all fall, supervised drills will start in earnest next week. Seventeen key men have been asked to report this week for an organizational meeting. This in cludes eight lettermen from last year's Bi Seven co-champion squad, a squadman from the 1949-50 team, six sophomores, and two junior college transfers. Heading the list are three re turning regulars from last year's high flying quintet which racked up 1,535 points in 24 games for a 17-7 won-lost record. They are: Ernie Barrett, Ed Head and Jack Stone. Other lettermen back are: Lew Hitch, John Gibson, Jim Iverson, Dick Peck and Don Upson. Clarence "Perk" Reitemeier, a squadman last year, and Bobby Garcia, and Kay Coonrod, trans fers from the junior colleges in their home towns, have been asked to report for the early drills. Top sophomores given the spe cial invite are: Joe Condit, Arnold Droge; Dick Knostman, Hollis Pincock, Bob Rousey and Dan Schuyler. Kansas State will open its 1950-51 basketball' schedule with a three game eastern swing start ing Dec. 2 against long Island U. in Madison Square Garden. They play Ohio State Dec. 4 and Purdue Dec. 6 before returning to Manhattan to open their new field house Dec. 9 against Utah State. 1 j! i L I v i Z finite he's still lacking in some of the skills inherent in this role.

Both concentrate on offense and are highly regarded by the Lion coach. Both are under 200 pounds but their quick, alert play establishes them as fixtures on the offense. Huskers Work The Huskers Monday night were well under way in their preparations for the Nittany Lions. The first string worked out in sweat togs, the usual Mon day procedure, but the rest of the varsity was undergoing some rugged scrimmaging. The first string backfield con sisted of Nagle at quarter, Rey nolds and Clark at the halves, and Mueller at fullback. This out fit was running through plays at full steam. In pads, however, and , getting plenty of rough knocks were the rest of the Husker backs. The offensive unit was running with Larry Carney and Frank Simon at the ends, Wayne Hand shy and Charley Toogood at the tackles, Joe Ponsiego and Ed Hussman at the guards, and Ted Britt at the center post. In the backfield were Buster Lehman at quarter, Don Bloom and Bill Wingender at halfbacks, and Kay Curtis at the fullback slot. Against the plays run by this unit was a varsity defense con sisting of George Prochaska and George Paynich at ends, Keith Fiene and Ted Connor at the tackles, Frank Meyer and Jim Godfrey at guards. Carl Brasee and Jim Levun dusky were at the linebacking positions, Jack Carroll and Nick Adduci worked at the halfbacks and Louie Roper was at safety.

It would seem, however, that we cannot follow this line of thinking. It is obvious that the quality of the air was directly responsible for the defeat of the Huskers. It appears that a critical analysis of the air would have shown an abundance of high velocity leather en route to Colorado receivers. This is what did it. An interesting situation was created at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium Saturday by the few hundred spectators watching the frosh team drub the Kansas State freshmen. These loyal Nebraskans were huddled in groups of ten or more around a portable radio. It must have been confusing for the frosh to hear the crowd cheering as the referee stepped off a fifteen yard penalty against them, while Bob Reynolds was scoring for the varsity. Sometimes, however, the games were uncannily parallel. The varsity and freshmen scored once within five seconds of each other. Another time, Verl Scott and Bobby Decker intercepted passes and made nice runbacks si multaneously. The junior Wildcats were keeping up with their big brothers, too. For a while both teams were trail in, 14-0. Incidentally, there are still a few "Goodbye, Bernie" signs around town if anybody up Minneapolis way is in terested. Quite a few say that Oklahoma lucked out Saturday. They came from nowhere in the waning minutes to subdue the Texas Longhorns. Cotton Bowl officials don't think it was an upset, however. They had prepared for a Sooner victory by erecting wooden goal posts. It seems that the Okies are in a habit of taking the posts home after a Vic tory. They should be well equipped with them by now. Kansas University's 33-21 victory over Iowa State last Saturday helped to prove that a good running attack can subdue a good passing attack, especially when you've got three good runners to your opponent's one good passer. Passer Billy Weeks of the Cyclones just couldn't keep up with his three running adversaries of the KU backfield in general and Charley Hoag in particular. Incidentally, the Cornhuskers journey to Lawrence to meet this potent ground machine after next week's en counter with Penn State. While most teams would not relish this idea, the Huskers will probably be eager. After all when they're running, they can't pass. They're starting to smile again in Columbia, Missouri. The fans there were beginning to wonder if there was any truth about this so-called high scoring game of football. It took the Tigers from that state three weeks before they had a taste of scoring. They must have liked it, because they didn't stop with just once and their four touchdowns were enough to drop Kansas State. Thanks, Bob. Bob Reynolds Acclaimed by Penn St. Scout Bobby Reynolds, NU sopho more flash, took hia place among the better backs of the year in Penn State scout Frank Patrick's book today. Patrick, who scouted the Corn huskers last year and again this year in anticipation of Satur day's football duel at Lincoln re gards Reynolds as "one of the best sophomore backs of this or any year." Reynolds, a six-footer who weighs in the neighborhood of 180 pounds, impressed Patrick by his performance against Indiana, then did even better against Minnesota a week later. He was credited with the first five touch downs enrolled by the Cornhusk ers this season. r V ? not (L It's what you don't see that's the sensation.

"He's got class, plenty of it. Sure, he's a runner, a good one, but he's also a good pass receiver and an exceptional punter." Patrick said the Nebraska "find" punts 50-yarders with lit tle or no difficulty, and makes his position on the Cornhusker team secure by possessing the ability to play with and for his teammates a team player, in other words. Like Goldberg: Patrick, who played on those grfat Sutherland-coached Pitt teams with the Nebraska coach, Bill Glassford, likens Reynolds to Marshall Goldberg of Pitt fame "Just like him," he says, " only faster." Ron Clark, who raced 82 yards with a punt return last year to score the Huskers only touch down is an understudy to Rey nolds on the current edition, ac cording to Patrick. 1 a stitch irj sight... on the new Van Chick the shirt with the secret stitches shirts MS.

Nebraska's 20-20 tie with In diana this year was the first tie game that the Huskers have played since the first game of the 1939 season, when they fought to a 7-7 deadlock with the same Indiana Hoosiers. ur fine (fc4 lis ) Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests ( ) Number 4...7E3G CMV12N ( I Hf J2&V Mtl you think I am...
