Sodak Victory Easy;
Strong Oregon Next
Blue Ribbon Beef Displayed
By GLENN NELSON
Sports Editor
Coach Bill Glassford, who
"would settle for a one point vic-
lory" over the South Dakota Cov.
otes, should feel well pleased with
njs team s showing Saturday.
The Cornhuskers romped to
n easy victory over a game
but powerless Sodak team by
an overwhelming margin of
46-0. Although the usual amount
6f fumbles and penalties which
always occur during the first
game of the year were abund
ant, the Huskers displayed a
powerful ground offense and
fair defense.
The Huskers will without
was called back after he Inter-
cepted a Coyote aerial deep in
Husker territory and rushed the
pigskin to mldfield where he
was pulled down from behind.
The run was called back when
the Cornsuskers were found
guilty of one of the half-dosen
clipping penalties which they
received.
With only 25 seconds remain
ing in the first half, Cifra, not to
be outdone by his teammate rival
.Novak, bulled over from the So
dak n'ne,
An excellent staee was set for
Reynolds' outstanding punt return
in the third quarter. The ball
changed hands three times, with
a neither team able to make a great
doubt have a much harder time deal of headway, when Reynolds

the University of Oregon at Port
land Saturday.
Bob Reynolds, All-America
halfback in 1950, scored only one
touchdown, although he proved
to be one of the best ground gain
ers of the day. Reynolds swivel
hipped his way to paydirt mid
way in the third period on a fake
punt play for his lone TD. He
also connected on four of seven
conversion attempts.
Nebraska's fullback strength
looms as a great asset to Coach
Glassford on this year's squad.
George Cifra and Ray Novak,
who have had a two-man battle
for first team positions since
practice sessions started In late
August, scored a pair of touch
downs apiece during the high
scoring fray.
Cifra crossed the first enemy
goal line of the season late in the
first quarter when he drove over
off tackle from the five yard line.
Novak scored tLe next two
touchdowns, the first on a beau
tiful run from 21 yards out. He
again made the 30,000 spectators
come to his feet when he plowed
over from the South Dakota five
yard line just a few minutes Mer.
His longest run of the day
But when he took the ball
and headed around his left end,
there was no question that his
run would be good for a num
ber of yards at least a first
down.
The Rambler .with his uncanny
eye lor protection and his mac
nificent dodging ability, picked
out his openings and raft to pay-
dirt as he did so many times in
1951, when he established a na
tional season scoring record for
major colleges.
The final two touchdowns, both
chalked up on the scoreboard via
the air route, both came In the
final canto.
Duane Rankin threw to Bin
Thayer for one of the TD tosses.
From the Sooth Dakota 47,
Rankin hit Thayer with a per
fect aerial, which Thayer took
on the dead ran and skirted the
sidelines for the remaining 27
yards to score.
A Dan Brown to Dennis Kori
nek pass in the final seconds of
the game finished the scoring for
the Huskers. The play covered 10
yards.
The victory was the first Corn-
husker win at Memorial Stadium
since 1951.

in a few years we will have a
hockey tournament!
To clarify a few things for
the new freshmen, W.A.A. Is the

the B squad In 1951, although
he had put In but a single week
at Indiana. With eligibility
commitments dissolved, how
ever, he is ready for regular
duty with the varsity. And he'll
get plenty, for the Buff coach
ing staff has him listed for offensive-defense
action.
The 180-pound, 19-year-old
Neary, a product of Lakewood
High, is especially welcome to the
ranks. Buffalo fullbacks Merwin
Hodel and Hugh Davidson both
bowed out last year, leaving that
post unusually thin. Neary is ex-j
pected to give Ralph Curtis aj
helping hand there, and con-j
ceivably could cop the starting of-;

Neary already has won one
battle. Stricken with rheumatic
fever this summer, he apparently
has beaten back the disease and is
ready to go apain.
Up front. Ward picks another
mldwestemer. Don Greenwood
of Park Falls, Wise., and Ar
vada's Dick Stapp as most logi
cal comers. There is one catch,
however. Stapp may not be
available.
The 200-pounder from suburban
Denver has almost decided to give
up college completely. This despite
Ward's prediction that Stapp had
the stuff to crack Into the all
America bracket within a couple
of years, and enough right now
to earn a starting defensive berth
at guard.
