Cagers To Compete
In Big Seven Mee
After bringing their seasonal
mark to an even 1-1, the Nebraska
Cornhuskers travel to Bradley to
meet the Braves this Saturday.
The Peoria, 1 Illinois five has a
record of 2-0. After the Bradley
trip, the Huskers move south to
meet Memphis State and Alabama
In a two-day jaunt. They return

down South Dakota, 87-51, it will
probably be the same lineup. That
would find Rex Ekwall, Duane
Buel, Willard Fagler, Doug Gib
son and Arnold Boiche. They will
be strengthened by the return of
co-captain Stan Matzke and sopho
more Billy Wells. Both men were
injured in the opener against
Iowa. Whether they will be able
to go at full strength or not is
still debatable. Three standouts
in the SD-NU affair last Saturday
were Chuck Smith, Ekwall and
Fagler. Smith came in and led
the team in scoring with 22 points.
He was rebounding well, and his
shooting was good. Ekwall, rookie
sensation, played a veterans per
formance, being a demon on the
boards, both offensively and de
fensively. Fagler, the other Husker
captain, played his usual fine
game. He was probably the out
standing player of the game. One
injury was received in the Satur
day tilt. Gordon Benson came up
with a knee injury, and will un
dergo surgery.
New Coach
Bradley, with wins over Cin
cinnati and Iowa State to their
credit, has been effected by a new
ruling, banning freshmen from
: competing. This is a big blow to
I Forrest Anderson, making his de
but after leading the Springfield
quintet last year. With the loss
of six seniors from the squad
that went to the NCAA in 1954,
the first-year men were being
counted upon heavily to help re
build the Braves' cage crew.

Old Reliable
As all the honors and recog
nition s are being passed out
among the various members of
the Nebraska football team, one
members has been underrated
for his fine efforts during the
1954 campaign. A member of
the starting eleven, he was al
ways up front, leading the one
charges making crucial tackles.
He is senior guard Bob Wagner,
a big 6' 190 pound guard from
Lincoln. Wagner teamed up many
times with tackle Don Glantz to
lead the right side of the Husker
line. He was always a demon
on defense. Wagner, a law stu
dent, was one of the returning

Meet The Team
Smith Proves Consistent
On Husker First Eleven
One of the big reasons for the
dornhusker's trood record and the
Orange Bowl bid this season is
Bob Smith, powerful 5-10, 195 pound
fullback from Grand Island. Smith
is the leading scorer for Nebraska
with 26 points. He has carried the
ball more than any other back, with
an average of 5.1 yards per carry.
Consistent Starter
Bob has started practically every
game for four years. He entered
the University when freshmen were
eligible to play varsity football and
started most of the games as a
freshman. He has been a perma
nent fixture in the Nebraska line
up since then. During his first
three seasons Smith played half
back, but this year Coach Glass
ford shifted him to the fullback
position.
Bob attended Valley High School
his freshman and sophomore years
and, Grand Island High as a junior
and senior. At Grand Island, he

Orange Bowl Bound Huskers
Begin Toiling For Blue Devils
Nebraska's Cornhuskeri will re
sume practice today for the Orange
Bowl game against Duke.
The team will leave Lincoln the
morning of Dec. 26 by chartered
plane for Miami. They will be
quartered at the Flamingo Hotel
and will practice at Flamingo
Park.
The Huskers, barring practice
injuries, should be close to full
strength.
Dennis Korinek, halfback, and
second leading scorer this season,
although forced to sit out the Ha
waii game, may be able to play
against Duke. Korinek suffered a
broken jaw in the Oklahoma game.
It has healed more rapidly than
expected and Korinek insists he'll
be ready for the Hosker's big test.
The rest of the Husker second
unit consisting of Don Comstock,
Don Erway and John Edwards will
see plenty of action in the Orange
Bowl on New Year's Day.
WeU Traveled
There has been no middle rod
for the Cornhuskers this season
Described by one sports writer as
the "Gridiron Vagabonds of 1954
still another declared "There may
be better football teams but none
will go farther than Nebraska this
season." He was thinking in terms
of mileage traveled after the Ha
waiian and Miami trips.
Nebraska, as the home team, will
wear red jerseys and Duke will
be attired in white.
The 10-game statistics show the
Cornhuskers have traveled 2,657
yards on the ground as against
1,990 for opponents.
Throughout the season which in
cluded games against Minnesota,
es for 701 yards.

Big Seven Conference the Husken
finished a surprise second.
In two of the few games in
which they were favored they lost.
As underdogs, they performed best.
The early line has them 13 points
down to DuHe.
Seventeen Score
One of the oddities of the Ne
braska season has-been the num
ber of players who have scored
points. The final averages show
that 17 Huskers have six or mort
of the 226 points to their credit.
Coach Glassford has used the
unit system throughout the season.
Difference in the first and second
units when at full strength has
been slight. The first uiit has
played the first quarter and the
second unit taking over in the seo
ond quarter no matter the situation.
The first unit has ten seniors
and one sophomore. The second
has four seniors, two juniors and 1
five sophomores.
The Cornhuskers are deeper in
quick-starting backs than they have
been in several seasons.
Switching of Rex Fischer from
quarterback to a halfback position"
in the Hawaii game indicates that
the Husker coaches are already
starting plans for next season.
Fischer was at halfback in his
sophomore year and switched to
quarterback this season as the
Huskers moved into the Split T
offense. However, a practice in
jury before the season started, rele
gated Fischer to the bench until
the final three games.
Coach Glassford believes the Ha
waiian junket was a great help in
preparation for the Orange Bowl
contest. The squad was able to
practice and play in similar climate
to that of Miami.
