iVeiv Freshman Grid Coach
Bob Faris Cool, Effective
By MAURY UPTON
Spom Staff Writer
Tiiere is an old adage around
the University that Nebraska foot
ball teams will regain the form of
the thirties when the state's fnn
high school grid talent looks first

But while the Wades and the
Tannahills are goine to Kansns

centrating on Denver, a nersonal.
ity of great value, possibly more
uenenciai man ail me others com
bined, has come to Nebraska.
This personality is not a bone
crushing: tackle, an elusive half
back, or a pile driving- full
back, but a smooth, mild-mannered,
soft talking- football
coach. Robert Keithley Faris,
seemingly unimportant fresh
man mentor, is the key link in
the future of Cornhusker foot
ball. The recent history of the 34
year old Fremont native is not the
least bit unknown to the follow
ers of Nebraska sports pages. He
has been a surprisingly effective
three-sport coach at Fremont hieh
since 1946. His teams have built
up with slight fluctuation from &

A Faris coached team first hit
the headlines in 1949 when they
spilled Grand Island from the
state football pinnacle with a
20-18 win. The loss, first in
thirty-five - games for the Is
landers, followed near misses by
Jrretvont in 1947 and 1948.

Fan's Lists 55
On Frosh Unit;
More Expected
With their sights set on Corn
husker varsity football jobs next
year, an advance group of 55
freshmen has started getting in
uieir practice licks.
Another group of 50 to 75 frosh
are expected to report for Dhvsi-
cal examinations and to check out
their equipment next Tuesday
aiternoon.
Under the tutelage of Fresh
man Coach Bob Faris and his
corps of assistants, the first
year men will spend the fall
grid season getting an indoctri
nation course in the T-forma-tion
system used by Head Foot
ball Coach Bill Glassford. Next
spring they'll move up to the
varsity.
Hailing from dozens of differ
ent localities, some of the frosh
played 11-man ball, others the
six-man brand.
Among those who reported early
were Darrell Dolph, 235-pound
Minatare tackle, and Frank
Reeves, Rushville halfback, who
played under Glassford in the an
nual East-West High School All-
btar game at Memphis, Tenn.,
two weeks ago.
On the list are the sons of
two ex-Huskers Leo Scherer,
Jr., son of Leo Scherer (1920
22) of North Platte, and Joseph
Prucka, son of Frank Prucka
(1928-30) of Omaha. Rex
Fischer, Oakland, brother of
Cletus and Ken who played in
Nebraska backfields in the late
1940's also has reported.
Other standouts include John
Blahak, Columbus; Jack Braley,

An odd method of numbering
seats in the University of Colorado
stadium is causing confusion in
the Nebraska ticket office.
Colorado numbers its tickets on
one side of the entryway 2, 4, 6,
etc. On the other side they run
jl, 3, 5, 7, etc. When Nebraska
patrons receive these it appears
that the seats are not together.
"We are getting wires and tele
phone calls about them,'' Business
Manager A. J. Lewandowski said.
"Anyone holding lour seats num
bered" 2, 4, 6, 8 can be assured
that they are sitting together. This
goes for those with Seats Nos. 1,
3, 5, 7."

Sports Notes
Aside from those Tiger gridders
who live in either the greater St.
Louis or Kansas City areas, there
are only four players on the 1952
Missouri roster who reside out
side the state. The non-Missouri-ans
are: Fullbacks Bill Rowe
kamp, Marietta, O., and Tim Fitz
gerald, Coffeyville, Kan.; and
halfbacks Buddy Makin, Tipton
ville, Tenn., and Harold Thome
czek, Alton, 111.
Bill Fessler. veteran Mizzou
halfback, won the Big Seven jave
lin crown at Norman last spring.
Dan Pippin, captain of the U.S.
Olympic basketball squad, scored
a total of 802 points during his
playing career at the University
of Missouri a mark topped just
last season by the Tigers' Bill
Stauffer with 813 points.
Missouri has three southpaw
tossing halfbacks all sophomores
on its 1952 football squad in
Jack Fox, Gerye Burson and Vic
Swenholt.
Missouri's 1952 baseball team
finalists in the NCAA playoffs
won 21 of 28 games, the most vie
tories ever recorded by a Tiger
nine.

Bob Reynolds, Ray Novak, John
Bordogna and Jim Cederdahl have
been doing the punting for the
University of Nebraska Cornhusk
ers during the early drills.
They are all better than aver
age punters, Coach Bill Glassford
says.
The Huskers have been working
on punt protection to equal, or
better, the record of 1951 when
only one Nebraska punt was
blocked.
