Coaching Staff Decisions
Best Despite km' Boos
Bv MAX KRIETMAN
Sports Staff Writer
Among the 34,000 fans that sat In Memorial Stadium last Saturday
I was one person who witnessed a fighting Nebraska team who
never know when they are beaten, bow to the K-State Wildcats 7 3
Thus, the game was marred throughout by a series of fumbles
and bad plays, but more disappointing was the crowd behavior
I would say that the spectators who were rude enough to boo
the coaching talents of Bill Glassford, did it, not because it was Just
something they wanted to do. Glassford's plans were of sound nature
and his intentions were of winning the game, not amusing the spec
tators. A Fresh Team
One time in particular I am referring to was when the Corn
huskers had the ball on the Wildcat's six yard line with four downs
to go. He then brought in the first unit, and the chorus of boos
echoed throughout the stadium. His thoughts were that with a fresh
unit in the game to combat the over-worked State unit, they could
moire easier than if the tired second team were to continue. True,
it didn't pay off, but football is a gamble, and Glassford gambled
with good odds. I am quite sure that the head mentor wanted that
touchdown as much, if not more, than the booers.
The Faculty Committee
The final steps have been completed in the handling of the
Nebraska . athletics. This system will call for a five-man faculty
committee. The group will serve in an advisory capacity to Athletic
Director Bill Orwig, and will replace the old Athletic Board. The two
purposes of the group will be that of giving faculty control over
athletes as required by Big Seven rule, and serving as advisory group
to Orwig.
Orwig himself is one hundred per-cent behind this new pro-
posal. Besides,' being the rules of the conference and the N.C.A.A.,
Orwig says. "This plan is in direct accord with the action of
the administration. We of the athletic department will 'now be
able to work hand in hand with the faculty and not be apart and
isolated from them as we were in the past.
Orwig also stated that donations for the grant-in-aid scholarship
program are below the goal. The new plan was that used by many
conference schools, with the intention of gaining more athletes for
the school. However, only negative results have happened since the
program went into affect about a month ago.
Baseball Talk
Turning to baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals are about to resort
to anything in order to get front-line pitching that was their, weak
point last season, and seasons previous to that. Dick Myers, general
manager of the Cards, said he would be willing to give up almost
anybody, even their rookie-of-the-year Wally Moon. One sports writer
then asked if he would be willing to trade their great Stan Musial.
Referring, to the Brooklyn Dodgers, he said he would trade if in
return the Cards would receive Carl Erskine, Gil Hodges, Duke
Snider, Johnny Podres and about $10,000 cash. They don't think
too much of the Man.

Meet The Team
Tackle Don Glantz
Outstanding Player
By DAN CAMPBELL
Sports Staff Writer
The burly tackle on the right side
of the Nebraska line this season
is Don Glantz. Don's six-foot frame
supports 215 pounds of beef, which
come in handy for opening holes
in opponents' lines and closing
them in the Husker line.
Glantz, who is a senior in Bus.
Ad. college, comes from Central
City, Nebraska, where he was born
and raised. At Central City High
School Don was outstanding in
football and track, lettering three
times in each sport.
During both his junior and senior
years he was named All-Central
Ten Conference fullback. As a
senior in the 1951 State Track
Meet at Lincoln, Glantz uncorked
a mighty 150 foot heave in the dis
cus that took not only the Class B
championship but the Gold Medal
as well.
Last year Don started most of
the Husked games at the guard
position and won his first letter.
In 1952, as a sophomore, he played
on both offensive and defensive
platoons, but did not compile
enough playing time to letter. This
season Coach Bill Glassford
switched him to tackle, where he
has started all the games.
This year Don has proved out
standing on defense. In the second
game of the season, Don wrapped
his massive body around two Iowa
State fumbles. He's -very aggres
siveand very big.

Paced by the fourth quarter spurt
of the K-State Wildcats, backfield
ace Corky Taylor punched over
from the one yard line to upend
the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 7-3, last
Saturday before a capacity crowd
of 34,000. The game was a thriller
as far as the fans were concerned,
but was marred by innumerable
fumbles. The loss left the Huskers
with a 1-1 record in conference
play, and dimmed their hopes of
a New Year's engagement in the
Orange Bowl.
Defenses Good
Both teams were above par on
defense, but an offense of any
great length couldn't be mustered.
The best drive of the day was a 66
yard march by the Wildcats that
led to the only touchdown.
Nebraska began the scoring "in
the second period. After marching
to the six yard line, the Wildcat
defense forced the . Nebraskans
back to the 18, where tackle Pev
Evans booted a field goal.
K-State had another opportunity
to score late In the fourth period
after Taylor tallied. Doug Roether
picked off a Dan Brown aerial and
moved it from the KS 45 to the
Husker 5. Here the visitors were
content to just let the clock run
out, and the Huskers took bver
with 10 seconds to play on their
one yard line. The last play saw

By "COKE" FREIDMAN
Sports Staff Writer
"We were tickled to death to
win," commented Coach Bill Meek
after his Kansas State Wildcats
had eked out a 7-3 victory over the
scarlet and cream ' of Nebraska.
Coach Meek said that he thought
the game was a good rough and
tough one, and he thought that the
frequent fumbles on both sides
were caused by hard tackling.
Coach Meek related that his de
fense was set to stop the hard run
ning Nebraska halfbacks, namely
Dennis Konnek, Ron Clark, Willie
Greenlaw and Jon McWilliams.
Coach Meek called the all-important
play of the game which even
tually led to the one and only K
State touchdown. It was fourth
down and 2 yards to go on the Ne
braska 19. Coach Meek sent in half
back Corky Taylor with instruc
tions to run an option play to the
Nebraska right side. The play
worked with Taylor picking up 9
yards and putting the Wildcats
within scoring distance,
Bill Mek, head football coach at
Kansas State is in his fourth sea
son at the Wildcat school. The re
building job he began in 1951 has
already shown marked progress
The K-State head man saw his '53
Wildcats surge up from their 10-
year lease on the loop cellar to tie
for second in the Big 7 ana set new
records all along the way.
For his 1953 success with the
Wildcats Meek drew tributes. He
was named "Coach of the Year"
by the Rockne Club of Kansas City
and was selected "Man of the
Year" by Manhattan's junior cham
ber of commerce.
Meek learned football at TenneS'
see where he played blocking back
under General Robert Neyland,
playing with the Volunteers in the
Sugar Bowl in 1941 and 1943, and
becoming thoroughly versed in the
Tennessee single wing offense.
The K-State coach has a solid
background in Split-T football too,
He was backfield coach under Jim
Tatum at Maryland for four sea
sons. Evidence of how well Meek
learned is the record compiled by
his Wildcats using the Split-T last
season. They gained 2274 yards

rushing and 610 yards passing to
rank second among Big 7 teams.
The 33-year-old coach believes
that modern football takes careful
planning. His practices run on
schedule and are planned weeks
in advance.
Kansas State's next game is a
non-conference game with Tulsa,
and the following week the boys
from Manhattan will venture down
to Norman, Oklahoma to do battle
with the mighty Oklahoma Soon-ers.

Fumbles Hurt
In the long run, it was a ques
tion of too many NU fumbles. They
fumbled the ball eight times and
lost it three. Many more times
when they lost it, they were given
life by a Wildcat penalty. One bad
break did occur for the Nebraskans
early in the second half. Ron Clark
took a pitchout and rambled to the
50 yard line, fumbled, and guard
Charlie Bryant picked up the pig
skin and moved all the way to the
KS 17 yard line. But a clipping
penalty nullified the play and the
ball was brought all the way back
to the Nebraska 12. After an ex
change of fumbles, K-State ended
up with the ball on the NU 36.
Jim Rusher then attempted to kfpk
a field goal but his effort was short
and the Huskers again took over.
The 'Cats scoring attack began
on the Husker 34. Jim Logsdon hit
Bob Dahnke with a 15 yard aerial
and Ken Nesmith and Dahnke car
ried it. to the Scarlets' 28. Taylor
then reeled off 9 yards, and Bill
Carrington went two to the Ne
braska 7. Taylor then went to tht
one, and on the next play bowled
Qver for the tally.
Smith Leads NU
Leading the Nebraska rushing at
tack was fullback Bob Smith. Ht
netted 59 yards in 12 tries for a
4.9 average. Greenlaw gained 24
yards in four cracks at the line.
Taylor and Carrington supplied tht
ground .attack for Bill Meek's
eleven, with Logsdon completing
two of three passes for 19 yards.
Next opponent for Nebraska will
be Oregon State this Saturday. Tht
next conference game is then tfit
23rd when NU treks to Boulder to
meet the Colorado Golden Buffs,
currently in first place.

Double Protection
Two standouts inthe NU line,
guards Charlie Bryant (right)
and Bob Wagner, two reasons for
Nebraska's success on defense
this year. Bryant was a stand
out last Saturday, picking up a
Cornhusker fumble and running
35 yards to the K-State 15. Tht
play was called back, however.
Wagner was rough on defense
and also threw key blocks at
the 'Cats when they wert
needed.
