Bolstered by the return to the
lineup of End Andv l ophr "d
Quarterback Dan Brown, Ne

nois at Champaign this week
end. And Coach Bill Glassford's
promised lineup switches fol
lowing last Saturday's 20-12 de
feat at the hands of Oregon ma
terialized to the extent of mov
ing a pair of substitute half
backs up to the No. 1 Nebraska
eleven.
The pair who advanced are
Sophomore Rfex Fischer, who
dazzled in the tailback post
against Oregon, and Right Half
back Dennis Korinek, who
nabbed two of Fischer's passes
for a total of 97 yards and gained
20 yards in two plays on the
ground. One of the Fischer
Korinek aerial connections cov
ered 68 yards and resulted in the
econd Comhusker touchdown.
In all, Fischer completed four
of five pass attempts for 118
vasds and averaged 4 yards per
Try on 18 rushing plays.
LOEHR, SIDELINED with a
Jaw fracture for a week, will
wear a special plastic mask. His
presence will add strength to the
left wingpost where Sophomore
Ralph Weddle has carried most
of the load. '
Loehr was to receive a final
check from the team physican
Tuesday evening at the Student
health center. His jaws are pres
ently wired shut. The shortage of
wingmen continues, however.
Dean Lux was lost over the
week-end with a broken hand.
Brown, who had been slated
for the top quatrerbacking as
signment, missed pre-s c h o o 1
drills because of illness. How
ever, he has been working out
regularly for more than a week
and should bo ready to go by
game-time this week.

In 64th Campaign
For Illinois This
Huskers Foe In
The fiehtinc Illini open their
sixty-fourth season of intercol-
legiate football when they meet
the Cornhuskers in Memorial
Stadium in Champaign Saturday,
The game will be number
in Illinois history.
Through 1952, Illinois teams
since 1890 have won 305 foot-
Dan games, lOM ioo buu "c:u u.
THE HUSKERS and Illinois
haven't met since 1925 and the
hometeam will depend on the
reports of Scout Chuck Purvis
who viewed the Nebraska opener
for valuable information.
Coach Ray Eliot of Illinois be
lieves there are some weak
points in the Illinois structure.
Number one problem prob
ably is that of replacing Tommy
O'Connell, last year's Big Ten
record breaking thrower. O'Con
nell is considered one of Illinois'
all-time greats.
Likely to grab the starting
assienment against the Corn-
huskers is senior Elry Falken-
tein. This Naperville, 111., lad has
other candidates.
THE USUALLY strong Illini
line is in a mending stage. Try-
ing to find help for Captain Bob
Tnin) nniv nroven tackle on
the roster, is proving to be quite
a job. The first string lineup will
be light, but as usual speed is
o fthe essence in the Illinois at
tack. Kickoff time for the Husker
Illinois tilt is 1:30 (Central Stan
dard Time.)
A NAVY veteran who played
ffense against Minnesota last
year after only four days of
practice; a track man who as a
freshman reeled' off a 45-yard
run against Stanford in the 1952
Rose Bowl . . . These will be
Coach Ray Eliot's starting half
backs when Illinois opens its
geason against the Huskers.
For Kenny Swienton of Chi
eago, "Playing in the Minnesota
game was the biggest surprise
of my life. I didn't think I would
be eligible."
For Clarence (Bud) DeMoss
of Villa Park, "The Rose Bowl
game still rates as the greatest
thrill I ever had from athletics."
Fencing Club
f nr nil those students and fac
ulty members that are interested i
in forming a fencing club, there
will be a meeting Wednesday
September 23 at 5:00 p.m. in the
Mens' Physical Education Duna
ing. The fencing club was begun
last year and has been growing
in popularity ever since. Mr.
Charles Miller, chairman of in

the meeting in Room 101 of the

Between The Lnes
Gridders Still Kicking
following VJ eehend Action
By HOWARD VANN
Sports Staff Writer
Looking back on the past weekend of football action on the
Husker campus leaves some uncertain speculation in an around
the Lincoln community. Nebraska has been reprimanded time
and time again since their 20-12 drubbing at the hands of "under
dog" Oregon. But the situation is not as dismal as some fans
might be led to believe.
Allowances must be made for the Husker gridmen. First of
all, everyone knows that the end situation is critical especially as
far as exprience goes. When Bill Schabacker was put out of the
game with an aggrevation of an old injury, the Huskers lost the
services of an All-Big Seven 1952 end selection.
1 This left the job up to willing and able but inexperienced
replacements battling against top notch experienced Webfoot wing
rnen such as Captain Emery Barnes and John Reed.
THE BEST line play of the afternoon on the NU side of the
ledger came from guard Charley Bryant.
The playing of some of the underclassmen overshadowed that
of some of the more experienced backs but anyone can have a
bad afternoon. Not making any excuses and definitely not taking
anything away from those underclassmen who did play such a
sparkling game, one has to take into consideration such things as
Injuries such as that one suffered by John Bordogna. (Yes, the boy
you fans booed.)
In fact it would be pretty safe to say that the entire team was
suffering from a slight case of fatigue.
Definitely don't sell the Cornhuskers short. As soon as some
of the old reliables hit their stride and some of the younger play
ers gain some experience, NU will be right up there in the con
fprence standbies where they were picked in pre-season predic
ations second or third.
If we look around the league at other results that came in
last week, we see that most of the other conferences big guns
ran up against brick walls also.
MARYLAND SMEARED Missouri 20-6, TCU beat Kansas 13-0,
while Oklahoma runs up against Notre Dame this week. The Irish
are picked by some people as this year's national champion.
The Big Seven's "lower division clubs" romped this past
weekend. Colorado pulled the biggest upset by beating Washing
ton, 21-20. Other games saw Kansas State whitewash Drake, 50-0
and Iowa State blank South Dakota, 35-0.
Big Seven teams will continue their struggle this week when
Kansas invades UCLA, 'Purdue travels to Mizzou, and Iowa State
travels to Northwestern.
The Huskers will have plenty of time to sharpen up before
their conference opener in two weeks against Kansas State at
Manhattan. They face a tough assignment next week against Il
linois, a team that has not been tested yet this season.
'
THE FIGHTING Illini are placed fifth in the Big Ten in pre
season predictions and have a good well-balanced team.
Right now the Illini are tabbed as two touchdown favorites,
but as I said before don't sell the Huskers short.
I was talking to NU gradifate Don Hewitt yesterday and he
definitely expects to see a vast improvement on the Husker team.
"As soon as the first team gets some confidence in themselves, they
will begin to work as a unit and that means victory," stated Don.

Don Glantz
Spotlight
On Huskers
By GARY FRANSDEN
Staff Writer
Out of the shadows and into
the spotlight could be one brief
way of describing the success of
the rugged gentleman clad in
jersey number 70 who started
the current Nebraska football
season as on of the Huskers' top
guards. The topic of all the
conversation is a mighty mass
of human flesh by the name of
Don Glantz.
The 6'1", 215 pound Glantz,
performing at a tackle station
during his first two years at
Nebraska, will be seeking his
first varsity letter under Bill
Glassford and the way things
look now he is more than a
cinch to get it.
LAST SEASON the Central
City husky saw only limited ac
tion for the Scarlet and Cream,
but the annual Varsity-Oldtim-ers
game in the spring appar
ently became the turning point.
After coming through with an
excellent showing, big Don was
listed as one of the team's top
linemen at the opening of fall
practice.
After a few weeks at his
tackle slot, the 10-year-old jun
ior was moved to the graduation-riddled
guard ranks. By
kickoff time against Len Casa
nova's Oregon Ducks, "Pro," as
he is frequently called, was run
ning with hustling Charlie Bry
ant as a first-string guard.
Many credit the success of
Glantz to the switch from two
platoon football. "Pro" per
forms equally well on both of
fense and defense. During Sat
urday's skirmish with the visit
ing Webfeet, he saw action as a
Husker linebacker as well as
in the defensive line.

In The Stands
Husker Soph 'Phenoms'
Continue In Vital Role
By GEORGE PAYNICH
Sports Editor
Well, It's happened and no
one is too surprised, Rex Fischer
is the number one tailback in
Coach Bill Glassford's single
wing attack.
A tremendous responsibility
has fallen on Rex's shoulders.
We think the bright young soph
omore from Oakland can do the
job, for when a veteran ball
player like Johnny Bordogna
gets shoved out of his starting
post, then we know whoever
takes over that spot must be a
helluva ballplayer.
A STRANGE feeling must be
with these boys right now. Bor
dogna is the man who sparked
the Huskers for the past two
seasons, and as far as I can re
member started whenever he was
physically capable.
Fischer, the 5-8, 160 lb. sopho
more whiz, didn't show any stage
fright in the opening Oregon
game, but will without a doubt
have quite a few butterflys in
his stomach when he stands in
huge Memorial Stadium (71,
119), and starts his first game
for the Scarlet.
Since Coach Glassford's ten
ure at Nebraska, it seems that
the vital man in the Husker at
tack has always been a sopho
more phenom.
In 1950, Boby Reynolds could
n't do anything wrong as he
packed up an amazing 157 points
for a new NCAA scoring mark.
In 1951 it was Bordogna who
handled the work as Reynolds
sat out most of the games with
injuries.
In 1952 sophomores Jim Ce
derdahl and Dennis Korinek
looked good for NU as the Husk
ers posted a 5-4-1 mark.

So it goes on into 1953, and
aftetthe very first tilt, another
sophomore, Fischer takes the
drivers seat.
In Saturday's tilt Fischer
looked outstanding. He kept the
fans from a wholesale exit he
and Dennis Korinek, who by the
way Joins him on the first team
this week.
Fischer's one great weakness
is punting. It will be interesting
to see how the Husker coaching
staff handle this situation,
Overlooked by the average
football fan is team leadership.
Even in calling signals a lad
with this gift is needed. If not,
even a football huddle can be
come a disorganized mass of
men. Usually the tailback or
lefthalf does the signal calling.
So it looks like the Job passes
on to Rex.
We talked with one of the
Huskers who was working with
the same unit as Fischer, and
this gridder stated that Rex's
action under fire was cool. Could
have been that everyone else was
so rattled, but Fischer did come
down with a good series of plays.
His pep and drive made the
Husker scoring drives possible.
WHAT WE'RE trying to say
is that Rex gets his big test this
weekend. .If he fails to measure
up to last Saturday's perform
ance, I hope he doesn't get shut
tled off as quickly as Bordogna
did.
Sportswriters are accused of
possessing a wicked hex ability.
We don't figure we have praised
Fischer enough for such a hex to
work.
One day's performance Is not
uffleient for a final Judgment.
