Depth Key To Weir's
Indoor Trade
Hopes
By ED BERG
Sports Staff Writer
Team balance, a winning for
ula for track coach Ed Weir in
recent years, could be the spring
board to Husker track success in
the 1951-52 competition.
With 10 lettermen and 10 fresh
men numeral winners on hand,
and a fine crop of freshmen pro
spects available, Coach Ed Weir
has indicated he will bank on
team strength rather than in
dividual brilliance.
Forming: the nucleus of this
years squad are lettermen Bob
Barchus, Don Bedker, Glenn
Beerline, Paul Grimm, Bill
Ilein, Bob Kruger, Dale Schnac
kcl, Irv Thode, Dan Tolman
and Gene Yelken. Lee Moore,
195D letterman, is back after a
years absence.
Weir has several problems. One
is to find suitable replacements
for such stalwarts as Lee Alex
ander, Don Cooper, Leonard Kehl
and Dick Meissner, ' all lost by
graduation. Missing also from the
1950 Big Seven Indoor champion
ship aggregation are Hobe Jones,
Ken Jacobs and Wendell Cole,
who left last April with the Air
Guard.
Also giving Weir much concern
is the Husker weaknesses in the
distance runs and the
events.
Main Husker strength seems
to be concentrated in the broad
.lump where Beerline, Thode
and Hoppy McCue, last years
top h'gh school athlete, will be
guining for a new school rec
ord. This trio could combine to
clve Nebraska its. most potent
broad jumping crew in history.
Another bright spot in the track
picture is thf hurdle field. Tol
man anfl Bedker, along with Mc
Cue. and Gaylord Smith, low
r--dle cham'm from Phoenix,
Arizona, should provide some
valuable points. Smith, working
on the hi-sh hurdles for the first
Vmi. is showing marked improve
rs -t every day, according to
Weir.
Heading the distance men
regain his 1950 form, he won the
state title that year, and others
like Jim Hurley, Fairchild and
Hondericksen produce, this event
could be a Husker strong point.
Dale Schnackel, Gene Yelken
and Lee Moore will shoulder the
burden in the 880. Moore has been
showing up exceptionally well In
fall drills.
Weir has only Darrel More
land and Phil Hleidck in the
high jump. Hleidck was a frosh
numeral winner last year.
Moreland may double as a
pole vaulter.
Coach Weir urges all boys with
any track abilit yto come out for
the team. He has several holes in
a track line-up that seems des
tined to surpass the record of the
1950-51 squad.

Colorado's Golden Buffaloes,
operating with machine-line pre
cision, pounded out a 36-14 vic
tory over the Injury riddled
Cornhuskers Saturday at Memo
rial stadium.
Stymied after losing John
Bordogna, Bob Reynolds, Jim
Yieslejr and Jim Cederdahl be
cause of injuries, Nebraska's
offensive sputtered and stalled
after the first quarter.
Husker's first quarter play was
reminiscent of the 1950 squad.
Nebraska kicked off to Colorado
and Davidson fumbled. Verl Scott
alertly fell on the ball on the
Buffalo 22.
Bordogna and Reynolds threw
four incomplete passes and the
ball went to the Buffaloes.. Los
ing yardage on two plays. Colo
rado punted and In eight plays,
the Huskers drove 50 yards on
passes with Bordogna scoring
from one yard out.
Bobby Decker kicked his first
of two extra points and the Husk
ers led, 7-0.
After an exchange of punts,
Colorado took the ball on their
21 and made a sustained drive of
79 yards as Hardy scored on a
pitch-out play covering 18 yards.
Williams missed the extra point
and Nebraska led 7-6.
Nebraska again fell apart In
the second quarter as the Buffs
poured across 20 points and
threatened again before the half
was over.
The Huskers took the ball on
ensuing kick-off and went to
the Colorado 23, but a rough
ness penalty brought the ball
back to the Buff 35 and Ne
braska gave up the ball on
downs on the 31.
Again the Buffaloes took the
ball and in eight plays scored on
a pass from Jordon to Hardy.
After the kick-off, Nebraska
had a second down and one yard
to go on their 29. when Scott's
pass from center sailed over
Reynolds head and Bobby recov
ered on the Husker two.
Cedetdahl punted to the Ne
braska 44. Although the Buff's
were penalized twice, they drove
to pay dirt in eight plays. Jordon
passed to Davidson for the
touchdown.
Nebraska took the opening
kick-off of the second half and
sped to the Colorado 19 as Bob
Reynald's 69 yard run ate up
most of the yardage.
The Huskers had then driven
to the six, but on the fourth down,
Don Norns was trapped on the 25
when he couldn't find a receiver
Colorado picked up two points
as Scott's center again sailed over
Reynold s head out of the end
zone. Two plays before, Jordon
had quickkicked and the ball
rolled out of bounds on the
Husker four.
After the safety, Decker kicked
off from the Nebraska 20. Deck
er's kick was short, and Roger
Hunt, Colorado lineman, grabbed
the ball on the 41 and got to the
39 before being hauled down.
Colorado then initiated a scor
ing drive which was halted only
once. When the Huskers held
for downs on their own 32, Zack
Jordan punted out of bounds on
the NU 1-yard-linc.
Jim Cederdahl booted the ball
out of the hole to Brookshicr on
the 35. Colorado then moved the
ball down the field to score in
nine plays, one of which was a
21-yard run by Carroll Hardy.
The Buffs moved to the one and
it looked like the Scarlet-shirted
Cornhuskers might hold, as Mer
win Hodel's touchdown plunge
was nullified by a penalty and the
Buffaloes were pushed back for a
five-yard loss. Jordan sent the
Husker's hopes downward as he
plunged to the one, and Woody
Shelton smashed through guard
for the touchdown. Williams' kick
was good, and Colorado led 29-7.
The Huskers began to show

Dal Ward, the not-so-hungry
coach from Boulder, currently has

during his four years at Colorado.
With the Buffs boasting a 6-2
record this season. Ward has re
ceived recognition not only in
the Big Seven but throughout
the nation for his outstanding
work at the Colorado helm.
Ward's appointment as football
coach at the University of Colo
weight rado in 1948 marked the high
point of his career. He has been
in the coaching business since
1928.
Born in Lexington, Oregon, in
1906, Ward was graduated from
Lexington high school in 1923.
He went on to letter in football,
basketball and baseball at Ore

he was an all-Pacific Coast con

and served three yeais as a lieu
tenant commander. He returned
to Minnesota, this time as back
field coach, in 1945. Ward re
mained at this n0st through
1947.
Since coming to the Colorado
helm, Ward has built a team which
is rated as one of the powers of
midwestern football. After losing
some close games in the first two
years, Ward came up with a win
ning team which compiled a 5-4-1
record last year. And it was his
Buffaloes who upset Nebraska
28-19 at Boulder last year.
This year the Buffs are
loaded for bear, with such stars
as Zack Jordan, Woody Shel
ton, Merwin Hodel, Don Bran
by and Jack Jorgenson. With
this powerful aggregation, Ward
has moved his club into second
place in the Big Seven.
And it looks like the Buffs will
be on the warpath again next
year, as Ward will lost only a
handful of men by graduation.
Ward is on his way to the top, and
it appears that this year and next
will be just two more long strides
up the trail.

signs of life again, as Bobby
Reynolds ran Horine's kickoff
back to the NU 35. Cederdahl
took over in the tailback spot
in the spread formation, and the
Scarlet moved the ball to the 50
before their attack petered out.
Cederdahl punted out of bounds
on the Colorado 11.
Colorado then began a short
lived march which ended on their
own 34 as Jordan punted to the
NU 37.
Nebraska took over the ball and
went 63-yards in three plays for
tneir second and last touchdown
of the game. Don Norris pitched
to George Paynich on the 49. Bob
Reynolds threw a pass to Simon,'
who made a beautiful catch" on
Colorado 21. Reynolds then stepped
back and pitched to Ray Novak
on the two, and the bone-bending
fullback romped over the goal for
the score. Decker's kick was
good, and the score was Colorado
29, Nebraska 14.
Colorado then retaliated with
a 63-yard scoring march, sparked
by the running of Carroll Hardy
and Woody Shelton. During the
march Hardy scampered 39
yards off right tackle to bring
the Buffs within scoring range
on the 12 of Nebraska.
After that it took the Golden
Horde seven plays to score, as
the Huskers put on a valiant
goal line stand which was to no
avail. Hardy scampered around
right end to score from three
yards out.
Williams' extra-point try was
good again, and the score was'
36-14.
After that, the game settled
down to become a defensive bat
