Weir To Build Husker Track
Team Around Ten Lettermen
By RON GIBSON
Nebraska's 1952 track team will
be built around ten lettermen, as
track coach Ed Weir will steal a
page from Bill Glassford's book
by using mostly freshmen and
sophomores.
The track team, as well as the
football team, was Injured by
graduation. The Husker thin-

clads also lost five men to the
ervice.
Coach Weir will have letter
men returning in seven events.
Bob Barchus is the only sprin
ter returning. In the 440, Billy
Hein will be back, and Bob
Schnackel and Gene Yelken
will again run the 880. Hurd
lers Don Beaker and Dan Tol
man are returning letter win
ners. Bob Kruger, a two-miler,
is the only distance runner who
will be back.
In the field events, the Husk
ers boast only three lettermen,
Paul Grimm in the weights and
broad-jumpers, Glenn Beerline
end Irv Thode.
Coach Weir commented that
the thinclads will have some of
the same weaknesses as last
year's team. The distance run
and weight events in particular
lack depth. Weir hopes part of
the slack will be taken up In the
distance by Lee Moore. 1950 let

a 4:20 mile. In the shot and dis

ported by Ted Connor, Cliff Dale,
and Bill Giles. The last three

McCue is the outstanding fresh
man prospect. McCue, who was
a one-man track team for
Arapahoe i.i hta high school
days, has decided to specialize
in the broad jump and the hur
dles. Nebraska is starting all over in
the pole vault. After losing such
men as Don Cooper, Leonard
Kehl, and Don Coupens, Weir
will rely on Bob Seldon of Lin
coln high, Jim Hoffstedder of
Kearney, and Jerry Barton.
There afe several top freshman
and sophomore prospects in the
track events. Some of Nebraska's
top high school track stars are out
for the team.
In the sprints, Brien Hend
rickson from Lincoln Algh and
Bob Fairchild from Omaha Cen
tral are the best looking new
comers, along with Gaylord
Smith, of Phoenix, Arizona.
Hendrickson was state medalist
for two years In the 100 and
220-yard dashes.
In the hurdle field, Gaylord
Smith and Hoppy McCue will
back lettermen Dan Toolman and
Don Bedker.

The Nebraska football situation seems to be going from bad to
worse.
Don Vogt quit school, the draft nabbed Nick Adducl and Tom
Carodlne was booted from the squad for failure to attend classes.
The Husker record shows three defeats and one tie, and that tie was
with Kansas State, renerally considered the weak sister of the Big
Seven.
After the Penn State came, it aooeared that Bill Glassford's
squad was In lor better times. But the shellacking it suffered Satur
day erased any optimism.
At Minneapolis the team lapsed back Into its chronic ailment of
a bad pass defense, sloppy blocking and a leaky defense. In other
words, it is still lacking the basic fundamentals of football.
Prior to the game, I heard several comments to the effect that
Bobby Reynolds was the only person needed to set the Husker
potential afire. Such is not the case at all, as was proven Saturday.
Great back that he is, even Reynolds needs a few blocks before he
can be sprung loose. Until the blocks are present, Nebraska will
continue to lose games.
Perhaps a lack of spirit on both the part of fans fend Dlavers
alike is as important as anything else. For instance, the Carodine
case snows a non-committal attitude toward the team. Carodine was
publicized as a ball-of-fire when he transferred from Lovola etrileee,
of California. Perhaps his previous press clippings were deserved.
but Carodine certainly did nothing at the University to indicate he is
a ruture AU-Amencan. Despite the fact that he was repeatedly
warned, Carodine did not even care enough about Nebraska to attend
classes and try to stay on the clean side of the scholastic ledeer.
Furthermore, the general spirit on the part of Cornhusker fans
seems to De on me decline. A dip was to be anticipated, but one could
hardly expect them to lose all faith.
Ultimately a serious situation could develOD because of a lnsint
football team. Nebraska has long been known as predominately being
a football state. If such a situation does develop, It will be merely
And X win predict right now that the alumni association will
be at the roots of ruch a development. Chancellor Gustavson out
lined some of the points which caused the great accent on college
sports. In doing so, however, he failed to mention some of the
powerful alum organizations that exist over the nation. If any
thing, they are more to blame for the present situation than are
some of the other points outlined by the Chancellor. The main
question seems to be how to stop the alums. It reerrts to me that a
strong, unified student body should be more powerful than are
some of the grads. Obviously enough, the football team is more our
concern than it ?s our predecessors.

Weir hopes to find more pros

along. The NU track coach said
he believes there are boys in
school who are potential letter
winners if they would report for
track.
Pre-Season Grid Predictions Look
Just A Little Bit Silly At Half-Way
How do the predictions of the lfw" ballot last year and fin-
Bo-called football experts stack up
now that the race is half over?
If you remember correctly, the
race was sized up with Oklahoma
on top as usual. But in second
place were Nebraska's Cornhusk
ers, who turned out to be vastly
overrated. It just goes to . show
that sometimes the men who
ought to know can't tell ahead of
time.
Nebraska's supposedly potent
offense didn't materialize. Nor did
Its improved defense.
What was the pre-season dope?
Here is what the men with the
crystal balls had to say before
the season opened.
Oklahoma's defending cham
pions were voted into the throne
room for the sixth consecutive
time by the experts, gleaning
only 9114 points. Nebraska was
handed second at 144. Missouri
and Colorado were forecast in a
tlrht scrap for fourth with
S10V6 and 821 respectively.
Iowa State polled 437 votes,
Kansas State 481.
The Sooners cornered 76 per
cent of the title votes by being
tabbed for first place 54 times.
Nebraska polled 17, Kansas and
Missouri one each.
By accurately predicting an
Oklahoma championship last year,
the scribes and speilers ballooned
their champ-picking average to 60
per cent, having correctly called
the Redshirts for the 1949 flag
also and Kansas for the 1947 pen
nant. The Jayhawks finished in a
tie with OU when the two clubs
played a 13-13 deadlock at Nor
man. The clairvoyants are batting
only 40 per cent on Kansas, how
ever, having gauged the Mt.
Oreadans accurately only in '47
and '48. They were voted fourth
place in 1946 and finished in a
first place tie with OU. They
were chosen third In '49 and slid
to fifth. They drew another
ished fourth.
Nick Lambert of the Des
Moines Register staff contrib
uted the lone Jayhawker title
ballot, admitting he was select
ing Kansas "on a hunch."
Bob Donaldson, sports editor of
the Wichita Beacon, called what
easily could be a prophetic turn
when he, typed "... Kansas
could be a threat if Jerry Bogue is
in condition to play."
But the OU tidal wave rolled in
like this . . Jack Carberry, Den-
