THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Poflt 3
The Lineup
Cage Offense PJeeJs
Ml Control Emphasis
Chuck Klasek
An Understatement . . .
In Tuesday's issue of The Daily Nebraskan, there appeared the
understatement of the year. The headline read, "Husker Cage
O'fense Must Improve Good." The lead sentence read, "It was def
initely typical first game." May we at this point heavily under
line th word definitely. For the most part, the biggest problem for
tho Huskers was control of the ball. Poor passes and very poor
ys nriDDiing sioppea many potential nusKer scores,
, not to speak of the high school type of aggressive
, play displayed by the Sodaks. Very seldom did
Huskers display an organized offense.
'4 However, we do believe the Huskers will
oe Diessea uus year witn capable nrst line re
serve strength. Behind the first five, com-
posed of Willie Fabler, Stan Matzke, Bill John
j son, Joe Good, and Fred Seger, will be an
equally potent quintet made up of Paul Fred
strom, and Don Weber, Gary Renielman, Ron
Smaha and Jerry Sandbulte. Watch for some
outstanding play by Weber and Sandbulte.
True we can't Judge by the performance of
the Huskers in one same against a weak team.
However, the real test will come against a national power at Min
neapolis, Saturday, in the form of the University of Minnesota. On
the side, we believe this year's team has great potential and will
definitely be heard from before the Big Seven race is over.
High Goals ...
This year's edition of the Nebraska cage squad will be faced
with a great number of almost uiyurmountable goals; not only in
outstanding oponents, but also in school records.
As far as individual records are concerned, Husker scorers
will be aiming for the three season point total mark of 821 points
set by Jim Buchanan. Buchanan also holds the record of 400
points scored in one season. Bob Pierce, with 29 points, holds
the record for the most points scored in one rame (against South
Dakota In 1951). The three remaining records are held by Mil
ton "Bus" Whitehead. "Bus" hit 12 of 17 field goals in one game,
meshed ten of ten free throws In one game, and with eleven, at
tempted the most free throws.
Team records are also very impressive. The greatest i.umber of
points scored in one game against Western Reserve when the
Huskers scored 83 counters. Against Iowa State in 1949, the Husk
ers scored 85 points In an overtime game. Also against Western Re
serve, Nebraska set a field goal record with 34. Against Idaho, in
1949, the Huskers made the most free throws, 26, artd also attempted
the most free throws, 42. Thirty-four fouls were the most com
mitted by a Husker opopnent in a regulation game.
Second Besf . . .
Nebraska's 1952 football record of five victories, four losses,
and one tie was the second best since the Cornhuskers 1940 Rose
Bowl team. In 1940 the Huskers had an 8-1 regular season rec
ord and then lost to Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Coach Bill Glass
ford's 1950 edition had the best post-Rose Bowl mark with six
wins, two defeats and a tie."

SOPHOMORE STARTER . . . Stan Matxke, one of two soph reg
ulars on the Husker basketball team this season, will be counted
upon heavily Saturday night when Nebraska plays at Minneapolis.
Matzke was among the top five scorers last year for the Husker
team, lettering as a freshman. He will be starting against a Min
nesota team which has been picked as fifth In national rJre-season
polls.

team might never have charged
down the home stretch, winning
four of its last five games for a
second-place finish in the Big
Seven conference.
For the past two years now,
Faurot has scorned a stand-pat
role when his offense lagged.
His '51 Tigers were getting no
where with their Split T attack,
an offense devised by the skip
per himself. So the skipper, sen
timent be hanged, took up with
new formation the spread,

aerials helped beat Nebraska
that year, and enabled the out
manned Tigers to count three
touchdowns against Oklahoma
and four times against Kansas
In i.t.uAii rimffl.
TVii. var. the Tieer coach used
both formations at the outset, but
again his offense stuttered. Strate
gist Faurot promptly changed his
hnrlrfiuld horses in mid-season, a
switch in personnel this time;
however, it actually meant a
turn to Split T ground operations;
except for a desperation passing,
game off the spread against wa-homa.
Originally, the '52 bacKiieia ana
Tony Scardino and Jim Hook, co
piloting from quarterback, Nick
Carras at left half, several not-quite-ready
entries at right hair,
and Bill Rowekamp, formerly of
West Point at fullback.
. Midway In the year, Faurot
decided that alignment wouldn t
do. In secret nractices before the
Iowa State rame, Scardino was
made the No. 1 quarterback,
Hook went to left half. Rowe
kamp to right half, and Carras
became the fullback.
This shuffle, intended primarily
to put the club's two best break
away threats at the halfbacks, al
most foundered in the first week
when Hook broke his nose in prac-(
tice. Wearing a plastic mask
the last five games, the Lees
Summit senior didn't miss an oi
fensive play. , ,
Best clue to the Tigers' new
found punch in latter starts was
contained in the team's final sta
tistics. ,
Until the change, MImou
backs had been outrushed 1,101
yards to 702 (five games). At
the season's close, Missouri owns
a net rushing yardage of IJ60
1 9K9. fnr all foes.
On an individual dbsis, j
move paid off, too. Ru"
smartly from the halves, Hook and
' Rowekamp turned in two of tne
longest runs from scrimmage in
recent years. With Colorado
threatening to overtake Mizzou in
the game here, hook cancu
yards for a score that put the con
test beyond reach. Rowekamp
clipped off an 82 yard touchdown
Faurot's chief problems this
spring will be to find three
backfield starters for Hook,
Rowekamp and Carras, a set of
tackles to replace four graduat
ing seniors, and a new contin
gent of kickers. Among the
eighteen seniors, who finished
up this year, were Paul Fuchs,
the kickoff and conversion spe
cialist, and Bill Fessler, the
team's No. 1 punter.
EvpeDt at rieht tackle, where
Fuchs toiled for three years, the
entire Mizzou defensive platoon
will return intact barring any
losses from unforeseen circum
stances. Only four of the of
fensive regulars are again avail
ableend Jim Jennings, tacKie
Charlie Bull, center Loyd Brown
and quarterback Tony Scardino.
