Post Game
Gatherings
The sweet taste of victory, like
the wayward son, finally returned
to the campus as Nebraska's "due
lor a change" Cornhuskers turned
varmin-killer, swamping the
South Dakota Coyotes 46-0 Satur
day afternoon at Memorial Field.
WhiJe the lop-sided victory
brought only conservative esti
mates of the progressing season
for Nebraska, most of the
sports-writers In the press-box
considered this years pigskin
edition only a little better than
the 1951 skeleton hanging in the
Field House closet.
The victory was pleasing, but
head taskmaster J. William was
taking little chances on showing
any scouts from Oregon what he
has under his hat. Not over five
plays were used in the swamping
that displayed power in some po
sitions that had been overlooked.
Most delighting of all, was the
Rambler's, fifty-yard run from
deep punt formation for the long
est run of the day and six points.
It was only this run that kept the
All-American from being over
shadowed by roaring Ray Novak
who reminded plenty of Biff Jones'
power-house teams of the late 30's.
Halfback Dennis Korinek of
Ulysses caused a few eye-brows
to be lifted as did Dierke Rolston
of Forsyth, Mont. J
The estimated 30,000 fans,
thrilled to the last minute, re
fused to leave their seats even
after the Iluskers piled up a
more than secure 40-0 lead with
just five minutes remaining.
Perhaps they were waiting for
Reynolds and Co. to bre ;tW away
for another thrilling rmi, or was
it the first home victory since
1950 that kept them in their
eats?
With Reynolds returning to his
form that made him the Ghost of
the Midlands in '50, his run from
punt formation was only the
storm-warning flag for a tornado
which is sure to start when the
Rambler takes off from the spread
formation, uiassiord has prom
ised Nebraska fans a wide open
game and what could be more
open than Reynolds running, pass
ing and punting from the TCU-spread?

ALL-AMERICA TOUCHDOWN RUN . . . Bob Reynolds returned to his 1950 form Saturday against South Dakota when he brought 30,000 Husker fans to their feet
as he faked a punt, then ran fifty yards to score. It was the only touchdown chalk ed up by Reynolds, who saw limited action in the 46-0 contest.
Jerry Wolpa
Wins Contest
Jerry Wolpa started the Crystal
Ball guessing contest right by
picking all of the winners cor
rectly.
Perry Leitel placed second in
the contest. He missed the Vil-
lanova-Kentucky game be pre
dicting a Kentucky victory, v
Daily Nebraskan staffer Mar
shall Kushner managed third
place also missing the Villanova
Wildcat tussell. Leitel got second
because his entry was handed in
nrst.
The first place prize is five dol
lars. Second place is three dollars,
and third is one dollar.
The Other Six
Colorado
After last Saturday's showing
of Big Seven teams one of the big
questions is, "How will Colorado
stack up in her future games?"
Picked as one of the pre-season
favorites, Colorado had to come
from behind to beat San Jose
State, 20-14, but one point has to
be remembered and that is that
Colorado probably was saving
most of her tricks for the Okla
homa game this week.
Whether the Buffs are to be
feared will soon be known be
cause right after they encoun
ter the Sooners, the Silver and
Golds take on Kansas, who
proved their capabilities last
week-end with an upset victory
over highly touted TCU.
CU was dealt a serious blow in
the game when Woody Shelton, a
top notch broken field runner
separated a shoulder. Shelton will
be out of the Oklahoma game
for sure and might also miss the;
Kansas tussle.
Colorado isn't having all bad
luck though. Her running game
was racking up yards. Two
backs. Frank Bernardi and Car
rol Hardy, lived up to expecta
tions as they both played good
football and made some long
ground gains. The Buffs stll
have reserve power in the back
field with Don Neary. Lee Ven
ke, and Zack Jordan.
The line boasts Big Don Bram
by along with Don Greenwood,
both who are capable linemen and
good defensive players.
Two years ago it was Colo
rado who threw a scare into the
Sooners when the Oklahoma
team played at the Boulder
campus. The Buffs are improved
over their team of two years
ag and with the change of en
vironment that the Sooners will
meet at Colorado, anything
could happen.

The Lineup
Verdict: Huskers
Greatly Improved
Charlie Klasek
Sportswriters throughout the nation took pleasure this weekend
in literally tearing apart or lauding the major football teams of the
natipn, diagnosing their weaknesses or praising their strong points.
Let It not be said that this column is an exception. We, too, would
like to place our views on the printed page, confining them to the
victorious Husker eleven.
Generally, the Nebraska defensive line looks stronger, even
though the South Dakota offense was not a true test of the Husker
forward walL However, holding the Sodaks to 85 net yards rushing
is an imoressive performance. Another of the Cornhusker weak
nesses of past years looked vastly Improved Saturday when the
Scarlet and Cream secondary batted down four Coyote passes, in
tercepted a fifth, and allowed nary an aerial to be completed.
Should this surprising pass defense continue, Nebraska fans can
assuredly look forward to an excellent season.
Offensively, Coach Bill Glassford has a problem a problem
which should delight rather than worry him. Bill has an abundance
of good experienced backfield men led by the unmatchable Robert
Reynolds. Four hundred and forty yards churned under the feet of
such drivers as Bob Smith, George Cifra, Ray Novak, Dierks Ralston,
John Bordogna, Jim Cederdahl, Denny Korinek, Bill Thayer, Jim
Yeisley, Dan Brown, and Uuane JttanKin. uiassioras omy proDiem
is to choose the best starting combination.
The offensive line also showed tremendous improvement. Es
pecially noticeable were the gaping holes opened when the Husker
fullbacks were carrying the ball through the center of the line.
However, all components of the Husker grid machine offensive
line, offensive backfield, defensive line, and defensive backfield
will get their real test at Oregon, Saturday. It is hard to compare
a school of 7,200 students with a school of 1,500 students.
MUSINGS Spectators at Saturday's contest became distressed
in the latter stages of Saturday's game when the red flag fell after
almost every play. Most of the penalties were against Nebraska for
clipping and off-side. True, the game officials were zealous in their
conduct of the game, but the penalties can De auriouica 10 uie uva
anvinns and eaepr attitude of the Husker squad Sighs of re
lief were heaved when it was learned that Charlie Bryant, sopho
more guard, was not badly hurt after being carried off the field on a
stretcher late in Saturday's contest. Chuck drew many notices for his
deadly tackling on kickoffs The running 01 cod onrnn in Sat
urday's contest was clearly reminiscent of Bill Mueller, former Hus
ker hard and straight-driving halfback With a little more
width in the shoulders and lower torso, "Mouse" Ralston, 5-6 half
back, would be a carbon copy of Herm Rohrig, ex-Nebraska great
Nebraska fans waited for almost three quarters for Bob
Reynolds to display his 1950 All-American style, and to the patient
came the reward. Dropping back to punt on fourth down, Reynolds
instead weaved and dodged 50 yards for a touchdown, revealing
that he had not lost that talent which lifted him to All-American
circles Wouldn't the presence of both Cifra and Novak in the
Nebraska lineup add a tremendous amount of power in the Scarlet
offense? Cifra, who seemed to be the quicker starter, might be a
worthwhile gamble at a halfback spot
George Cifra, Ray Novak
Battle For Fullback Spot
A sophomore and a junior, both
hard-hitters, each weighing over
200 pounds, are battling for the
No. 1 fullback job at Nebraska
this fall.
They are George Cifra, 205-
pounder from Turtle Creek, Pa.,
and Ray Novak, who weighs
about 210. Novak is a product
of Omaha Tech High School.
Cifra is the more elusive type
of runners, Ray is a long-striding
fellow who is hard to stop.
George started out as a half
back in high school but played
fullback his last two years. He's
played in the single and double
wing formations as well as the T
and its variations.
"I like them all," George says,
"just so it's football."
Cifra had difficulty as a
freshman because of his vision.
This year, however, contact
lenses have helped him consid
erably. He likes the fullback post be
cause it involves "lots of action."
Ray was an all-stater at quar
terback in high school.
After Nick Adduci was
drafted last season, he moved
into the first string spot. He
led the team in scoring with
six touchdowns and was second
only to Boy Reynolds in rush
ing. He netted 3.3 yards per try
try the 70 times he carried the
ball.
Novak and Cifra are not the
"cute" type of runners. They de
pend solely on power and both
have good speed for their size.
Coach Bill Glassford believes
he can keep opposing defenses
honest this year with this pair
of power runners who are a
constant threat up the middle.
"Our opponents will have to
protect the middle with either
Novak or Cifra in the lineup,"
Coach Glassford said. In other
seasons the opposing defenses
have "overloaded" on one side in
an effort to stop Bob Reynolds,
Nebraska's All-America halfback.

The Cornhuskers will leave Fri
day morning for Portland, Ore,
where they are scheduled to meet
the University of Oregon WebVet
uead football coach Bill
Glassford plans to iron out the
mistakes of the South Dakota
Nebraska game this week. No
contact practice was scheduled
for Monday, however. The
Huskers watched films of the
Coyote contest and spoke with
NU scouts.
A defensive scrimmage is plan
ned for Tuesday, however. Coach
Glassford said that improvement
is necessary in the Scarlet's line
backers, downfield blocking and
technique.
No serious injuries were re
ported from the Saturday game,
and Glassford feels that the squad
on the whole is in very good shape
for Oregon.
Glassford plans to take a 38-
man squad to Oregon Friday. The
squad list will be released
Wednesday.
Oregon, which uses T forma
tion variations, boasts one of the
most feared passers in the na
tion in Hal Dunham. Fullback
Novikoff is another Webfoot
which usually spells danger to
opposing teams. Another ace on
the Oregon line-up is Emory
Barnes, who starred against
UCLA last Saturday in his first
varsity game.
Husker scoring is at the present
fairly evenly divided.
Ray Novak and George Sifra
scored a pair of touchdowns
apiece Saturday, and lead the
scorers with 12 points each.
Bob Reynolds, who made a sen
sational 50-yard run to score on
a fake punt, is next with 10. He
kicked four conversions.
Bill Thayer and Dennis Kor
inek have one TD apiece to
round out the Husker scoring.
Thayer took a pass from Duane
Rankin and ran to paydirt, and
Korinek snagged an aerial from
Dan Brown for his touchdown.
Physicals
Head Trainer Paul Schneider
announced that all athletes who
have not taken their physical
examinations are to do so to
night at 7:30 p.m. in the field
house.
There will be no congestion,

GLASSFORD'S TOP FULLBACKS . . . George Cifra (left) and
Ray Novak, who scored two touchdowns apiece Saturday against
South Dakota as the Huskers won a lop-sided 46-0 contest, are
battling for the starting fullback assignment on the Nebraska
lineup. Both picked up a lot of yardage last week end, and will be
heading for Portland Saturday where the Huskers meet Oregon.
Al Lopez's Cleveland Indians
gained a half game on the idle
New Yankees, Monday, as they
edged the Detroit Tigers 5-3 at
Cleveland Municipal stadium.
Only a single game separates
the two clubs, who are battling
for the American League pen
nant, and only four games re
main on the 1952 schedule.
In winning his 22nd game of the
year, Early Wynn became the first
pitcher in the American loop this
season to win two games in the
Courtny Lincoln Mar sarrie series.
Cleveland garnered five runs
on eleven hits and committed
no errors while Detroit behind
the offerings of "no-hit" Virgil
Trucks, had three runs on five
hits and two errors.
