He seems to. be playing with the knowledge that this Is his op portunity and is determined to make the most of the chance. The switch to the single-wing is chiefly responsible for the Gohde surge. Playing fullback behind such veterans as George Cifra and Ray Novak, two of the best battering-rams in the conference offered little future for Gohde. Under the single-wing Glass ford shifted the 180-lb. Gohde to quarterback. This position is in no way related to the quar terback position on the "T." The quarterback here is strictly a blocker. On him depends whether the single-wing func tions smoothly. UNDER THIS formation the quarterback is the unsung hero. He is a glorified guard stalking around in the backfield. On de fense Gohde backs up the line and his eagerness makes him a natural. Odds and Ends . . . Jerry Yeager, Hastings senior end, is playing with a cast on his right wrist.

Nebraska Ranked 17th By Williamson System In his first pre-season rating of the season Paul Williamson, originator of the Williamson Rating System, puts Nebraska down as the 17th top club in the nation. U.C.L.A. leads the field with Oklahoma, perennial Big Seven power close behind. Nebraska and Oklahoma are the only Big Seven schools men tioned in the Williamson list of the top 30 teams. The top ten teams ranked are: U.C.L.A., Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio State, Rice, Duke, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, So. Lai., ana Michigan U.

Tackle Jerry Minnick moved back into his old starting slot, as Max Kit zelman -was suffering bruising after-effects from his perform ance last Saturday.

Bv GARY FRANDSEN Sports Staff Writer "If 'the injury jinx stays far, far away and nothing unforseen happens, we should have the greatest gymnastics team in Ne braska history." Those were the optimistic words of J. G. "Jake" Geier, head mentor of gymnastics at Nebraska as he summed up his 1953-54 team which officially opens its pre-season workouts on Sept. 21. Geirn" stated that -he couldn't help feeling strongly on the op timistic side, as everyone is back from last year's powerful eight man squad which tasted defeat only once. The team should also be strongly bolstered by sopho mores Bunrell McMaster and Ken Kohler and the return of Bruce Riley, who has just wound up a two-year hitch in the Army. Riley is one man Geier is ex pecting great things of. The Omaha lad has three years of eligibility left . and is stamped .by the Husker coach as an athlete who should reach national star dom before he ends his college Rymnastics career. A former f rosh performer at Nebraska dur ing the 1950-51 season, Riley can do everything exceptionally well, Geier said. McMaster and Kohler, both from Beatrice, are the two best of last year's iresnmen crop. McMaster specializes in the par allel bars while Konier is ai nis test on the side horse. Both are ticketed to be key men on this season's outfit. Tom Kidd, the top point-get-the io.59.-53 team and last 1,(1 Ull w year's captain, heads the list of returnees, rne uincom aue individual champion at the All College meet in Boulder last season. . , Others returning from last year's creware Danny Fogel, footballer Max Kennedy, Don Hodge, Bert Linn, Dick Raecke, Ray Fallstead and Chuck Sprague. This will be the final season of varsity competition for Kidd, Kennedy, Raecke and Fallstead. Geier said that he anticipated a squad of 25 men. The first of ficial call for varsity and fresh men performers is slated for the evening of Sept. 21. The meet ing will take place in Room 104 in the F.E. building. NU Men's Co-ops Change Locations Due to the erection of the new men's dormitories, Pioneer House and Norris House, Men's Co-ops, have shifted locations. Pioneer House, formerly lo cated at 1436 S Street, is now situated at 1143 J Street. The previous address is the site of construction work undertaken to provide additional men's hous ing. The Pioneer group has now moved into the house formerly occupied by the Norris House men and, according to President Orval Weyers, "are fully moved in and settled."
