Shooting At Sports
Spring football Sessions
Previm 1954 Campaign
By GARY FRANDSEN
Sports Editor
Although the 1954 football season is nearly six months off,
most of the Big Seven coaches are currently engaged in spring
gridiron drills, an important phrase of the fall sport enabling the
coaches to get a fair idea of what they have in store for them
when September rolls around.
It'a true that there are a lot of positions that will have to
be fortified by the time the "real thing" gets underway. Most
of the gaps' are products of graduation, some of them are the
results of service calls while still others are caused by some other
conflict.
Right now Coach Bill Glassford's number one problem is too
find the right man to step in and direct the Nebraska offense,
either the T or split-T. Rex Fischer and Dan Brown along with
yearlings Don Erway, Charlie Smith, Don Margheim and Gordon
Englert are the six fighting for the berth left wide open by the
graduation of John Bordogna, Husker quarterback for the last
three years.
ANOTHER UNKNOWN quality for the time being is the
trength of the Huskers up front. Glassford won't know too
much about what he has in line material until the weather
co-operates long enough for a couple of game-type scrimmages
to be run off.
Two big vacancies to fill In the Scarlet line are the tackle
lots where two of the Middle West's finest linemen, Ted Connor
and Jerry Minnlck, were stationed last faU. Both graduated and
are slated to embark on professional grid careers this season. .
Typical of the situation elsewhere in the conference is the
one at the University of Colorado. Coach Dal Ward has approx
imately 120 candidates for the Buff football team, but out of that
number only nine are lettermen.
The biggest headache for Ward and his assistants is the
Colorado line. Only three lettermen, all reserves last season, are
returning. Gone are such stalwarts as Ends Gary Knafelc and
Alabama Glass, Tackles Lee Marshall and Bom Morton, Guards
Dick Knowlton, Jim Stander and BiU Fisher; and Centers Dave
Hill and Ken Huffer.
Tackle Bill Kucera, Guard Sam Salerno and Center Duke
Karnoscak are the lone returnees around whom Ward must
fashion a forward wall. Among those slated to get clear shots at
starting positions is Rodger Lindwall, a former Omaha Benson
standout at the center spot.
ALTHOUGH THE line problem is a difficult one, the Colorado
backfield situation is more than bright. Three of last season's
starters, including the great Carroll Hardy, are available. The
other two are wingback Frank Bernardi, a' bundle of trouble for
the Huskers last season, and Emerson Wilson, a hard-running
fullback.
Hardy, injured much of last season, could be ready to have
his greatest year as a senior. The Sturgis, S.D., halfback has
been called by Oklahoma coach, Bud Wilkinson, as one of the
best running backs he's ever had the fortune to watch.
The blocking back job is the only one to be filled and Ward
has reserve letterwinners Bill Lamont and Don Piper ready to
take over there although both didn't indicate they were able to
step in and direct the Buff attack with poise and ability last
season, but that experience should benefit both.
,
THE ANNUAL bellow about -aduation losses at Oklahoma
hasn't hit Lincoln yet, but it's p tbly coming. The Sooners
lost Tackles Roger Nelson and Doc aron, Guards J. D. Roberts
and Mel Brown and Backs Larry Grigg, Merrill Green, Jack Ging
and Jack Van Pool, but as usual the Oklahomans have a wealth
of returning veterans plus a good freshman crop so things
shouldn't change too much as far as the success of the Big Red
football.
Among the regulars returning to Wilkinson are Ends Carl
Allison and Max Boydston, Center Kurt Burris and Backs Gene
Calame, Buddy Leake and Bob Burris.
The other schools Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa
State also have their various problems. Missouri lost such backs
as Ed Merrifield and Bob Schoonmaker, but have returning such
established performers as Quarterbacks Tony Scardino and Vic
Eaton and Fullback Bob Bauman. Terry Roberts, an All-Conference
guard for two seasons, is also back again. j
The biggest losses at Kansas
Tackle Joe Lundy and AH -Conference Guard Bob Hantla, alonr
with Backs Frank Cindrich and Frank Sabatlni. Bill Meek's
Kansas State Wildcats lose two top boys in Guard Tom O'Boyle
and Back Veryl Switaer. but scatback Corky Taylor is returning
Iowa State's big holdover is their rugged fullback, Max Burkett.
Scrimmage Slated For NU
Footballers This

the University of Nebraska foot
ball team will hold their first
scrimmage of the spring drills
this Saturday.
Wednesday the Huskers worked
on fundamentals, defensive for
mations and passing. There was
no practice Thursday because of
the limited number of days a Big
Seven school can hold spring
drills. The Huskers will also lay
off a day next week.
One first team change occurred
during Wednesday's drills. Tackle
Don Glantz replaced Pev Evans
on the so-called first team which
is chiefly made up of experienced
players.
Tn.luju' nn ihm first plpVpn

Glantz, tackles; Tom Kripal and
Bob Wagner, guards; Bob Ober

The job of making out ratings
after the tournament, with all its
surprises and upsets, is an ex
tremely difficult undertaking.
Many of the ratings of the teams
seem to be inaccurate because of
outcomes of the tournament.
However, these ratings are based
on the seasonal performance of
the teams as well as tournament
play. But by taking another as
pirin, we may be able to get
through the following para
graphs. The Dubbers are the All-University
kings. There is no dis
pute about that. They came from
a middle-seeded position in the
tournament and went on to
soundly trounce all opponents
except the Fraternity ruler,
Sigma Phi Epsilon, whom they
beat 43-40 for the title.
The Dubbers wound up the
season with a 18-0 record to be
come the only undefeated major
champion since 1951 when the
Geologists breezed through an
18-game schedule to become the
highest scoring- cage team in In
tramural history.

are urged to turn in their AH
University team ballots be
fore Tuesday March 23. The
deadline has been extended
to allow more ballots to come
in. Fifty-six ballots are still
out and unless a majority are
returned there will be no
team selected. Turn them in

Mermen In Action
Coach Hollie L. Lepley's

versity of Nebraska aggregation
in competition next week.
A full Cornhusker team will
be entered in the Midwestern
A.A.U. championships at the
Boys Town pool Friday and Sat
urday. The meet also will include two
National A.A.U. events the
1,500-meter swim and the 3
meter junior diving event. Cal
vin Bentz, Jr., Hastings; David
Gradwohl, Lincoln, and John
Lightle, Lincoln, will be entered
in the distance race.
ions are the Sigma Phi Epsilons
who lost to the former in the
playoff after winning the Fra
ternity throne. Alpha Tau Omega
and Phi Delta Theta ended up
in a deadlock for the third spot
followed by the Dental Frosh,
the other finalist in the Inde
pendent tourney.
The Ag Jokers, pre-tourna-ment
Independent leader,
dropped to seventh after being
edged by Nebraska Coop In the
tourney.
Presby House, the RamDlers
and Theta Chi round out the
top ten.
PHI GAMMA DELTA, previ
ously unrated for two weeks,
jumped to the sixth spot in the
Fraternity A ratings after beat
ing Phi Kappa Psi and Pioneer
Coop and pushing the Phi Delts
in the tourney. However, Pio
neer, though losing to the Phi
Gams, rated the higher position
because the Phi Gam seasonal
record could come nowhere
equaling their's.
Beta Theta Pi sits in the
seventh spot followed by Sigma
Chi and Farm House, a team
who gave the ATOs a rough
game for three quarters. Phi
Kappa Psi and AGR B are tied
for the tenth spot.
Of course, the top spot in the
B leagues goes to the titlist,
Alpha Gamma Rho, who wound
up play with a 13-2 record.
Sigma Chi follows close behind
by resting: on their seasonal
laurels after bowing by six
points to the champions in the
semifinal round of the tourney.
