What's NU In Sports?
Most Bovil Teams Picked
As football Season Ends
As the 1954 football campaign closes this Saturday, the four major
bowl issues have been settled. In the Rose Bowl, undefeated Ohio
State, Big Ten winners and No. 1 team in the nation meets Pacific
Coast representative Southern Cal. The Trojans finished second to
UCLA, but due to the rule of not allowing a team to go two years in
a row, USC gained the nod. The Sugar Bowl will find powerful Navy,
winner of seven games this year, meeting Mississippi. The Cotton
Bowl pits Georgia Tech against Southwest Conference champs Arkan
sas and the Nebraska Cornhuskers meet the Duke Blue Devils in the
Orange Bowl.
Best Game?
The best game possibly looms in the USC-Ohio State clash. The
Buckeyes, finishing an undefeated season, will be favored but the
Trojans, barely losing to Notre Dame last week, 23-17, could cause
the Ohioans a lot of trouble.
The New Orleans affair brings together two offensive powers The
Middies displayed power football all year, the climax coming In 'their
27-20 upset of Army. They also downed Duke and bowed to the Fight.
tag Irish by the slim 6-0 margin. Arkansas, by virtue of a Rice win
over Baylor, slid into the Cotton Bowl. Their opponents have been
consistent performers of one Bowl or another for three years in a row.
Tough Assignment
The Cornhuskers drew probably the toughest assignment. Duke,
playing a much tougcr schedule, finished the season with a 7-2-1 mark'
compared with Nebraska's 6-4 record. The Blue Devils closed their
season in winning fashion, downing North Carolina 47-13, while NU
was humbling Hawaii 50-0.
Basketball
Turning to basketball, the Nebraska Cornhuskers open their season
Monday night against Iowa at Iowa City. They then return Saturday
to the Coliseum to meet South Dakota, Their opening conference game
Is with Iowa State here the 4th of January. In the Big Seven tourney
at Kansas City, December 27-30, the Huskers meet powerful Missouri.
The Tigers have the same line-up that caused much trouble last year
In the conference, including their 76-67 win over Kansas thst forced
the Jayhawks out of the Big Seven title. Leading the Bengle charges
win be big Bob Reiter, 6-8 center who averaged 19.4 points a game
last year. Though the Tigers will be favored, Nebraska fans will
recall the Kansas State contest last year when the Huskers upset the
highly favored Wildcats. Other first round games match Kansas against
Oklahoma, Kansas State against California, and Colorado against
Iowa State,
"All" Teams Out
All-American teams are all in and two Big Seven performers, both
from Oklahoma, center Kurt Bums and end Max Boydston were on
every eleven. Also Al Ameche from Wisconsin and Dick Moegle from
Rice. These two were perhaps the finest backs in the country.
All-Big Seven teams would be hard to pick this year. There should
be at least seven sure berths. Besides Burris and Boydston, Carrol
Hardy of Colorado, Charlie Bryant of NU, Corky Taylor of Kansas
State, Al Portney of Missouri, and Gene Calame of OU would have
to be listed. The rest of the mythical eleven would be difficult to
decide.

The Orange Bowl, January 1st,
at Miami, Florida, will pit the Ne
braska Cornhuskers, representing
th Big Seven Conference, against
the Duke Elue Devils, representa
tives of the Atlantic Coast Con
ference. The Blue Devils were
chosen by a poll of the faculty ath
letic directors of the eight confer
ence members.
Impressive Record
Duke has a season record of 7-2-1,
with victories over Pennsyl
vania 52-0, Tennessee 7-6, North
Carolina State 21-7, Georgia Tech
21-20, Wake Forest 28-21, South
Carolina 26-7 and North Carolina,
47-12. The Blue Devils were beaten
only by Army and Navy, and held
to a tie by Purdue, 13-13.
Duke emerged as the number
one team in its conference by scor
ing four straight victories over its
conference by foes, Maryland, an
other Atlantic Conference Power
house also had four victories in
conference play, but a tie with
otherwise perfect conference rec
ord. Top Scorer
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will
be up against a team who has
both a strong running and passing
attack. Outstanding for Duke is
Quarterback Jerry Barger, who
directs the split-T offense, and
Halfback Bob Pascal, who tied
with Maryland's Dick Bielski for
the conference scoring lead with
54 points.
Duke's head coach for the; last
four seasons has been William D.
Murray, who Jias posted a record of
27 victories, 10 losses and three
ties since coming to Duke.
Nebraska's Cornhuskers closed
their regular season's schedule
with a 50-0 rout past the Univer
sity of Hawaii at Honolulu. The
Huskers were able to score al
most at will against the ourclassed
Hawaiians. Four of the Husker's
Nebraska Basketball Squad Starts
Rough Season Monday Against Iowa
Now that football is over (mo
mentarily), basketball takes the
main spotlight at Nebraska. Mon
day night the Cornhuskers trek to
Iowa City to meet the Iowa Hawk
eyes in a non-conference tilt. Fol
lowing the seasonal opener, the
Huskers return to their home
boards to meet South Dakota.
Rebuilding Job
This campaign, the Huskers will
be in for a rebuilding job under
the leadership of new mentor Jerry
Bush. Only five lettermen return
to the NU quintet that finished the
1953-54 campaign with an over-all
8-13 mark and a fouth place tie in
the Big Seven standings. Return
ing to NU are Willard Fagler,
Charles Smith, Stan Matzke,
Duane Buel, and Gary Renzelman.
Gone from last years squad are
Bill Johnson, the team's leading
scorer, Fred Seger and Don Weber.
There were the top three scorers
on last year's five.
Fagler is a three year veteran,
gaining an All Big Seven berth as
a sophomore. He averaged 8.7 list

year. Smith is a 6-1 senior, start
ing for NU in the second game of
the year. He carried a 5.7 mark
last year. Matzke is a 6-2 veteran,
earning three letters. He had a 5.4
average. Buel, a junior, supplied
the top bench strength last year.
Not a potent scorer, he is a great
playmaker. He averaged an even
3. Renzelman is the "big" man of
the squad, standing at 6-6. The two
year letterman was forced to play
behind Johnson for two years, but
now has a chance to show his
scoring ability. His average last
year was a low 2.6, but was a
great asset on the boards 'for
Bush's charges.
Tigers In Tournament
Tough games this year for the
Huskers will be Alabama, Kansas
State, Missouri, Iowa, and Colo
rado. They open their conference
play against Iowa State the 4th of
January. They meet Missouri in
the second round of the Big Seven
tournament. '
eight touchdowns came on long
runs. Don Comstock ran 68 yards
for one TD, Ron Clark ran 78 yards
Willie Greenlaw 50, and Dirkes
Ralston 66, to nuke toe route of
Hawaii complete. Substitutes were
used freely, and the Huskers proba
bly could have run their score
much higher if they would have
wanted to.
The Huskers picked up an amaz
ing 648 yards running and passing.
Of these 648 yards, 542 were gained
by rushing.
Backs Bob Smith, Ron Clark,
and Willie Greenlaw played very
little as Coach Bill Glassford saved
them for the important - Orange
Bowl.
Only serious injury of the game
was to Quarterback Don Margheim
who suffered torn knee ligaments.

Loehr's Ail-Around Abilities Make
Him Potential All Big 7 Selection
By DAN CAMPBELL
Sports Staff Writer
One of the stalwarts of the Ne
braska line this year is Andy Loehr,
senior end from Turtle Creek,
Pennsylvania. Loehr has been ex
tremely valuable to the Huskers,
especially during the latter part of
the season when there was an ex
treme shortage of ends on the
Nebraska squad. (
Throws, Catches
Caoch Bill Glassford has come
to depend on Andy for many jobs
Besides the blocking, tackling, and
pass-catching chores usually re

tried his hand at passing the ball.
This is Andy's third, year as a
letterman. He first lettered dur

Coyote Coach Dwane (Cloddy)
Dclodfelte, with six lettermen as a
nucleus, is building a fast-breaking
hard running squad that'll be de
tetrmined and high spirited as com
petition remains keen for the five
team positions.
With two seniors, Jim Rath, Le
ola and Matt Alexander, Center
ville, keading the way the Coytoes
could spell trouble for North Cent
ral Conference foes. Alexander, at
6 feet one inch, and Rath, at 6
feet, do not present all the height
a coach just starting out in varsity
competition would like, but Cloddy
says their ability to. lead and hawk
the ball is some consolation.
The big problems with the 1954-55
version of the Coyote courtsers
Cloddy says, are defense, condition
ing and experience with Cloddy's
complicated set offqpse. But those
problems will be solved as the
Covotte schedule continues. The
first conference game is January
3, with the pre-season conference
tournament scheduled for Decem
ber 28, 29 and 30 at Sioux City.
Showing improvement as tney
battled for the first team posts are
Bob Middleton, Watertown, junior;
Alexander and Rath. Middleton,
last season's standout rebounder
and freethrower is almost assured
of a starting role at forward, while
Rath and Alexander will be at
the guard spots. However, Cloddy
is quick to point out that two
eager sophomores, Dave Paulson,
Aberdeen, and Dick Hagerty, Dol
and,' ND Junior Jim Sterart, Ab-,.
erdeen, are giving the guards "quit
a lot o ftrouble. Paulson who played
high school ball at Sioux Falls is
6 feet and was "good offensivey"
as a freshmen. Hagerty also 6 feet
is a "natural quarterback' says
Cooddy, and "will see a lot of ac
tion." At the forwards, there's a three-
way race on between Dick Wald,
Sioux Falls; Bill Conway, Sioux
City; Dwane Jensen, Gettysburg,
for that spot, opposite Middleton.
Wold and Conwan are sophomores,
Jensen is a junior. About the 6
feet 4 inch Conway, Cloddy says
he's a "hard worker and is devel
oping rapidly;" Wold, 6 feet 3 is a
"wicked hook-shot artist" and at
the moment would get the inot as
starter . . . however, Jensen,- the
third man in the contest, has a
good deal of experience, and is a
"smooth jump-shot artist." Jensen
is 6 feet 1.
One big ray of hope for Cloddy
in his initial season in inter-collegiate
competition is 6 feet 7 inch
Don Jongewaard, a sensation for
the Coyote squad two years ago,
out for a season and now back
again. Jongewaard, who weighs
235 pounds, is a "good ballhand
ler," Cloddy says, and "can hit
inside or outside." Jongewaard is
back out to with a hand infection.
Wold and Middleton will alternate
with Jongewaard at the pivot.

Loehr is a strong contender for
All-Big Seven honors. His hard
blocking and tackling and his pass-
catching ability have won him re
spect of all Big Seven campuses.
Ugly Man
Andy was recently honored by
being elected Ugliest Man On Cam
pus. He is tne iirsi independent
candidate to win that award.
Loehr was born and raised in
Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, where
he attended Turtle Creek High
School. There he lettered three
times each in football and base
ball. His senior year Andy was
named to the All-Western Penn
sylvania team.
Loehr is majoring in Industrial
Arts and plans to go into coaching
after graduation.

the Huskers during the season.
Picked to finish no better than
the second division of the Big
Seen, the Huskers earned a
clearcut claim to the runnerup
position behind Oklahoma.
The route has been marked by
and up-and-down trail, starting
slowy, working to a climax in mid
season with a run of four solid
vistories, plus an earlier win over
Icwa State. Then came defeats at
the hands of Pittsburgh and Okla
homa. Hawaii was the last regularly
scheduled game.
The only regular who did not
see service against Hawaii was
Dennis Korinek, second leading
scorer on the Husker team. He
suffered a broken jaw in the Okla
homa game.
Forty players were taken to Hon
olulu. They left Lincoln Tuesday by
plane and arrived at the 6ite of
the battle, first for a Nebraska
team outside the continental lim
its of the United States.

way from Huskerland to the
University of Hawaii last Fri
