THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1951 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Conference Football Roundup nnas u.aes, Muskers At lop By Marshall Kushner I . . Assistant SDorts Editor Tt wnnlH Sffm tVinr tha tiaitiqI pproach to a pre-season football arucie in any puoncation would be to stay off of the proverbial "limb." The Daily Nebraskan will attempt to give its readers the present Big Seven football pic ture and allow you to draw your own conclusions. , Most men "in the know" have supported, the conference battle between the Oklahoma Sooners and Nebraska. These same men seem to have overlooked the fact that there are five other teams in the league this year and almost all of them have greater potential than last years team. Missouri was stung when veteran end, Bill Hampel was kayoed by an injured knee. Since that time, Coach Don Faurot's end candidates have , shown signs of filling the gap left by Hampel. Faurot, master mentor and split-T inventor, will have a backfleld problem. He will be counting heavily on two elusive backs named Junior Wren and Harold Carter. The latter is also star sprinter on the Mizzou track squad. Kansas can boast of one of the conferences most underated squads this year and only a few of the more risque prognosticatbrs ventured to give them a chance to win the title. Charlie Hoag will be the muscle in Coach Jules Sikes of fensive punch. Although slight ly inexperienced, the Jayhawks boast one of the conferences strongest offensive backfields. Assisting- Hoag will be Jerry Bogue and Chet Strehlow at quarterback slots. The Jays main grey-hair stim ulator will be the loss of moun tain lion tackle, Mike McCor mick. The job of filling the all conference lineman's shoes will be George McKonic. He'll fill 207 pounds of beef into a 6'3" struc ture and many say that the loss of McCormick will hardly be no ticeable. From early fall practices, it ap pears that Kansas will be work ing with an improved offensive backfield, an equal offensive line in comparison with last years squad, and an offensive alignment that will equal 195 l's team. Nebraska has been tabbed strong conference contender since the middle of last season. The predictions were already pointing to the afternoon of No vember 24 when the showdown between the co-favorites, Okla homa and the Cornhuskers, would take place. Bill Glassford, Husker head tu tor, told them not to count their chickens too far inadvance, and sure enough, the robf just about fell in at the Cornhusker training camp at Curtis. "Mr. Touchdown," Kooert Key nolds. was thrown lor a loss tho slrmnier because of mud All in all, Coach Glassford ' has developed a prodigious headache and most Husker faithfuls are flying the flags at half mast The loss of Reynolds particularly damaging Husker hopes, since the offense attack was built around the Grand Island whif.

Tha torm "Hnrlr hnrsp" is lust about as fitting a term as could be used to describe the 1951 edi tion of the Colorado Buffaloes. Dallas Ward has a pair of back field gems that will make oppos ing coaches rub their eyes. Woodv "The Scooter" Shelton and Merwin "The Hotel" Hodel will spearhead the Golden Buffs attack this year, with Zack Jor dan assisting with top notch run ning and punting performances. The Buff line will be no push over this year either, for that matter. The line average for the entire squad is close to 200 pounds, which means some . backs are going to be hit with ton of beef this fall, BILLY VESSELS Oklahoma Left Halfback isXk little The Benchwarmer By Boh Banks Sports Editor i i - .Uh.itmDn of tionrt It 1q inn had that Bill Olllie lie IB a uatuim suunii'iui a.na.,, .

Coach Bill Glassford received the news that Bobby Reynolds will be able to start light running and exercising drills by the end of the week. He has been steadily improving these last few days but will still be unable to play for several weeks. This Saturday will be the opener of the Cornhusker football season, when Bill Glassford will team his varsity unit against Ike Hanscom's freshmen squad. Contrary to previous plans, Glassford will use an all-fresh men team against his squad. He had originally planned to use some of the sophomores. A week from this Saturday is the opening game with Texas Christian here at Lincoln. Glass ford expects the men of Coach Dutch Meyer to run the single and double wing formation as well as the spread. Gil Bartosh, the TCU back field star, will be able to oper ate under this system. Last year Bartosh gained over 1,700 yards through passing and run ning. Today Don Vogt of Water Town, S.D., was running at Reynold's left halfback post. Bobby Decker, Max Kennedy and Jim Cederdahl took over this position from Vogt occasionally. The only team members other than Reynolds who have not re turned to tnt squad are Tackle Harvey Goth of Lincoln and Half back Dick Westin of Omaha. Goth is out with his leg in a east, while Westin Is sidelined with muscle spasms in his back. Glassford said that Westin is Improving steadily. Returning to the squad is sophomore guard, John Machlsle of Turtle Creek, Pa. .He was out because of a back Injury and was unable to go to the Curtis practice sessions. New freshmen on the varsity squad are Dick Sterup of Shelby, a transfer from Chadron Teach ers, Max Kltzelman, member of last year's freshman squad from Omaha, Bill Snavely of Aurora, Bud John of Grand Island and Ed Brestal of Kearney. After being out a week because of flu, Frank Simon is back at his old end spot. He is teamed up on the number-one squad with George Paynich. Dick Regier has gained a tackle berth on the starting lineup fol lowing an injury. Wayne Hand shy is handling the other tackle berth. When George Frochaska was injured, Handshy was boosted to the first team, and he is learning to play both sides of the line. Tony Winey and Clayton Cur tis are continuing to hold their offensive guard positions. At the present time Verl Scott and Ken Schroeder are scrapping for the center post which was va cated when Joe McGill was gradu ated Except for Reynold's injury, the starting backfield is stiU in tact with John Bordogna at quarterback, Tommy Carodine and Vogt at the halves and Tel eran Nick Adduci, fullback. Game captains for the Saturday fray are Adduci and Bob Mullen, a tackle on the deiensive squaa. Although he is making no pre dictions on the final outcome, Glassford believes that both teams will put up a good battle, no mat ter what the score. He plans to continue stressing fundamentals in the remaining workouts this week. NEBRASKA STATIONERY 10c Package Coldenrod Stationery Store 215 North 14th St. give a lift to your wardrobe,..

It is strictly for girls. Fellas, you know when you take your favorite girl to the football game and are bored stiff because she doesn't know a thing about the game? Well, I've decided it is about time they got a chance to learn about the game. Since the girls can't possibly play taekle football, they couldn't know much about the game other than that the ball carrier takes the ball and passes it to a fellow player, or runs with it. Big Seven football has many rules and regulations which each player must obey or else be penal ized. In this column I will attempt to describe many of the rules of the great game of football. Before the football game the two teams come on to the playing field, not to give a style show, but to loosen up themselves for the game. The referee, at the start of the game, gets the two captains together in the center of the field. And flips a coin to see which team will kick off. The team that does not win the toss get their choice of goals. This choice of goals may seem imma terial to one, but if tho wind blows from the south it is to be disadvantage of the team to have the north goal. Wind is quite helpful to a team that has a good passer. Two terms which apply to foot ball are "offensive," and "de fensive." These terms apply to the team with or without the balL The term "offensive," applies to the team carrying the ball. De fensive concerns the team oppos ing the ball-carrying or "offen sive" squad. Here at Nebraska, we have squad. This way the squads may be more specialized. The offensive squad can become adept at blocking, passing and running, while the defensive squad may become proficient at the art of defensive play. That's about all for today, but tomorrow I'll try to give the girls a little more information of the great game of Big Seven Football.
