Athletics at Nebraska are. now in the process of being piloted into
national prominence, with Athletic Director Bill Orwig at the helm.
The Husker situation, which looked bleak enough to abandon ship
several years ago, seems to be evolving into one which may rocket
the Comhuskers into the national spotlight.
With the completion of the greatly improved grant-in-aid program
and the acquisition of several proven personalities to serve on the
athletic faculty under their belts, the athletic department has an
nounced the other factor important in boosting Husker stock into big
business.
This was the announcement of the future schedules for Corn
husk er squads.
Orwig revealed that "The best way to bring up the caliber of
play is to compete against top teams." And if this philosophy holds
true, the Big Reds are in business. For the schedule looming ahead
of the Huskers is one of rugged competition with many strongly rated
schools.
Grid Powers Slated
An alum of the Big Ten conference, Orwig will probably seek
contests with this loop whenever possible and practical. As the Big
Ten is without a doubt one of the strongest, if not the strongest in
overall potential the Huskers may have the inside track.
On the gridiron, Husker elevens are due for rugged foes. The
policy of scheduling in football is to keep almost five seasons ahead
in the scheduling of opponents. Next fall, Scarlet gridders will en
counter South Dakota, Ohio State, Indiana and Baylor as a flavoring
of things to come from out of the conference.
In 1957, things start to come to a head. The Comhusk-rs will be
across the line from such national powers as Washington State, Army,
Pittsburgh and Syracuse in addition to Big Seven foes who have also
exposed their expectations of future accomplishments.
After the S7 campaign, come non-conference opponents such as
Penn state, Purdue, Texas, and possibly a revival of the Minnesota
Nebraska series.

After a two week layoff from the
corJerenee, the Nebraska Cornhus
keru return to Big 7 action this
week with an encounter at Colum
bia, Missouri, against the Missouri
Tigers.
It will be Nebraska's second out
ing against league opponents, hav
ing downed the Kansas State Wild
cats 16-0. The hosts have one loss
in. the conference, that an upset re
versal to the Iowa State Cyclones.
As far as records are concerned,
both elevens have had their share
of disappointments, Mizzou bowing
to Maryland, Michigan, Utah,
Southern Methodist and I-State.
The Huskers have fallen to Ha
waii 6-0, Ohio State 28-20, Texas
A&M 20-0 and last week to Pitts
burgh 21-7. Both teams have had
one outstanding game, Missouri
with their 8-14 encounter against
Michigan, the nation's number 1
ttam, and Nil moving against the
1954 Rose Bowl champs, Ohio
State.
The Tigers will be out to break a
six game losing streak and avenge

year. Their losing streak includes
a 74-13 loss to Maryland on the
last day of the 1954 season and five
losses in 1955. Last year coach Don
Farout's eleven finished the sea
son with a 4-5-1 mark, their one tie
being with Colorado, 19-19. This
will be the 48th meeting of the
two elevens, the Huskers holding
the upper hand 26-19. Three games
have finished in ties.
Gone from the MU squad this
year will be quarterbacks Vic Ea
ton, and Tony Scardino, Jack Fox,
Bob Bauman, and Jerry Schoon
maker. These five backs formed
the main spark of the 1954 squad.
At ends for Mu will be Harold Bur
nine and Bill Craig. Burnine, a
6-2 senior is -currently leading the
nation in pass receiving. Craig is a
6-1 junior. At tackles will be a 212
pound sophomore, Frank Czapla
and' one of last years all-Big 7
tackles, Al Portney. Portney is a
221 pound senior. At guards will
be the veteran Jim (Cornbread)
Martin and 228 pound Charles
Mehrer. Both boys are juniors,
Martin having starred on the 1952
Tiger squad. Another letter
winner, Tony Karakas will be at
center.
For NU it will probably be Jon

continued his athletic prowess by
coming to the University of Ne
braska and displaying outstanding
performances on the athletic field
for the Comhuskers.

tough Pitt line for a total of 84
yards rushing and caught one other
pass for 30 yards, to personally
account for 114 of the Husker's
total offensive yardage.
Willie has been one of Coach
Bill Glassford "s most consistent
with plenty of smoke and lettered
on last year's baseball team as
sophomore. Willie threw one of
the best games of the Big Seven
season last spring in setting down
the Kansas nine on three hits,
striking out 17 batters and hitting
a homerun to help his own cause.
