Friday, October 5, 1956 THE NEBRASKAN Pace 7 Strictly Sportstailc By BOB MARTEL Nebra&kaa Sports Reporter (?f?o CP Oil At irsi eng By BOB MARTEL Staff Sports Writer The Iowa State Cyclones will in vade Memorial Stadium tomorrow afternoon to tangle with the Ne braska Cornhuskers, their first Big Seven foe of the young 1956 sea son. Coach DiFrancesca has Ms squad up for this contest in which they are rated a slight underdog. "On the outcome, says Di Fran eesca will hang much of the for tune of the big Cardinal team this year." To do something about getting ready to win the game De Fran cesca has shifted John Scheldrup to the starting right end position. The big Oak Park, Illinois jun ior has played fine ball in both games so far, with fine pass catching and good defense counter balancing some spotty blocking. , He has shown tremendous desire ' all year and Vince figures he has earned the right to show what he can do as a starter. Another man getting a promotion has been Chuck Latting, third string left half-back, who scored three of the four touch downs this year. Latting was moved up during the week as a reward for his fine work. DiFrancesca hinted at other shifts but listed none as definite, except on Shedrup and Latting. Starting at left end opposite Scheldrup will be Jerry Donohue, six foot one inch junior from Pes Moines, Iowa. Donohue is an ex cellent pass receiver and is 188 pounds of trouble on defense. Bill Fogarty and Gale Gibson will be the understudies. . Opening at the tackle slots will be big Oliver Sparks and Andris Poncius. Sparks at 223 pounds is rated one of the top linemen in the Big Seven. The six foot two inch senior is captain of the Cy clone eleven. Poncius, 210 pound sophomore from Des Moines, Iowa, has looked very good in the first two contests and shows promise of becoming one of Iowa State's better line men. Backing up the starters are Don Metcalf and Lyle Carlson. Met calf, the tallest man on the squad, is six feet five inches tall and a former Iowa All-Stater during his prep days. Carlson is a 200 pound junior who saw limited action last season. Lining up at the guards will be Howie Henrich and Chuck Muel haupt. Heinrich, an All-Navy line man in 1955, Is only a sophomore and should be well known before too long by all Iowa State oppon ents. At 210 pounds he is rough and tough and a very hard man to move. His running mate, letterman Muelhaupt is a senior and was a Cyclone regular. Depth in the guard slots include Ron Brede son and Bob Bird. The center Jack Falter is a 210 pound junior from Elmhurst, Illi nois. He is an excellent pivot man and outstanding in backing up the line. His replacement is senior Grant Blaney. Directing the Cyclone offense will be sophomore Terry Ingram. Ingram has been the regular Iowa State quarterback thus far this season but was pressed consider ably by fourth stringer Jim Kud linski in the Northwestern, .game last weekend. Kudlinski set up both scores with fine passes and win undoubtedly see plenty of action against the Huskers. Phil Hill, sophomore from Roseville, Illinois was the second stringer before being nudged out by Kudlinski. Chuck Latting, star of the North western game, will be starting at v 1 ; ...": 'v.

Sports Staff Climbs Out On Limb Predicting Weekly Gridiron Tests By WALT BLORE Sports Editor Nebraskan Sports Staff mem bers have stretched out their necks and started a weekly prediction chart of the 15 to 20 top games to be played on each Saturday. One of the top games of the week pits ancient rivals Michigan State and Michigan at the Ann Arbor campus. Last year, the Wolverines edged their neighbors from Lansing by a 14-7 score. This prevented the Spartans from having a perfect season to add to their Rose Bowl conquest of YCLA. The staff gives the University men a 4-2 edge, but does so with much hesitancy. Two independents, Army and Penn State, square off at Mitchie Stadium high above the scenic Hudson. Red Blaik, West Point coach, fields a better balanced squad than the 1955 edition. The Nittany Lions have had 17 consecutive winning seasons, but only three of the nine games on the schedule this fall namely Penn, North Carolina State and Boston U. can be considered safe. The staff picks the Black Knights of the Hudson in this one on the basis of depth. Another unanimous choice finds TJotre Dame slated to clobber Ind iana. The Fighting Irish are lick ing their wounds after the 13-19 smarting they received from the hands of the SMU Mustangs, and will be ready for this one. While on the subject of SMU, the collective minds of the raters pick the Mustangs to down Mis souri. Tiger Coach Don Farout has had nothing but bad luck in the first two outings of what is supposed to be his last season. The Tigers dont figure to get into the win column this week. Kansas State journeys to Okla homa for the slaughter of the week. Ail this game will prove is that Oklahoma can send 61 players into the fracas, thus enabling more men to enter than usual for Bud Wilkinson's National Champs. Colorado and Kansas lock horns in what might be the game that decides who goes to Miami this New Years. Colorado rebounded against the K-State club last week after they had been humiliated in their opener with Oregon. Colorado gets the nod from the guessers in a close one. The Citadel and Stetson Univer sity tangle in what is called the "shot in the dark choice." Since news of these two schools seldom reaches the hinterlands of Nebras ka, this is a very wild guess for The Citadel. Another wild one finds the staff in a toss-up as to who will win out in the Florida State-Virginia Tech game. This has been instituted as a weekly gamble the success of which depends upon the stakes at hand between the individuals mak ing the selections.

Latting contributed two touchdown runs of 38 and 15 yards last Saturday and thereby earned himself a starting slot. At right half will be Bob Harden a sophomore from Omaha. Grad uated from Omaha Benson in 1955, Harden earned 5 letters in foot ball, basketball and baseball. He has looked quite promising this season and should be a real threat of the future. Alternating halfbacks are Jim Lary and Paul Shupe. Lary was a regular before Latting skyrocketed to fame while Shupe has seen plenty of action. Both boys are important cogs in DiFrancesca's gridiron machine. Marv Walter, junior fullback, is the Cyclone bread and butter man. Give him an inch and hell take five yards. Walter Is the man that gets the first down when Iowa Sate really needs it. The second man in the fullback picture is Dave Munger. Munger, 175 pound sophomore from Green dale Wisconsin, figures prominent ly in Cyclone offensive plans. Ke serves as a very capable replace ment for Walter "I've pointed to the Denver and Nebraska games as our key con tests ever since the fall drills started," DiFrancesca said. We need to' win the first game of the year and the first conference game if we want to have a chance to be an tipsetter all season long. We have a sound club this year and it needs only a key win or two to fool Tall those experts who tabbed it for last in the Big Seven. We need to win this one." Coliseum Oca By GEORGE MOVER Staff Sports Writer Coach Pete Elliott had better start sending scouts to University pep rallies. At the one preceding the South Dakota game there was more blocking and tackling than the Coyotes could muster all the following Saturday afternoon. The object of all the extra-curricular rough stuff were the various signs that campus organizations produce for events of this kind, osten sibly to show everybody how peppy they are. Actually the signs are made to be torn down by fraternity or sorority rivals, thus providing a topic of conversation for many alumni banquets and class reunions in the future. Someone should tell Don Beck what his rally's are really being used for. Maybe he could wear a striped shirt and blow a whistle. By official-1956 enrollment figures, Iowa State han an enrollment of 7,900. This would put them behind the University by some 200 students. However, the Cyclones may not want to stay behind the Huskers on the football field. Coach Vince DiFrancesca, who may or may not be in old Simon's class as a slave driver, is reaping the results of his first five year plan early. Anyone who thinks Iowa State is the conference slush ball this year should ask the folks at Northwestern. It was at Northwestern last week that Iowa State ground out 181 yards in the third quarter. The Cyclones have a good yohng backfield but it is in the line that games are won and lost. In this department the Cyclones outweigh the Huskers slightly. A displaced person, tackle Andris Poncius, is fast making himself a new home in the opposition's backfields while Howie Heinrich, another ungentle young man, is making an impression as a guard. For the above reasons and because I have lost my will to live, I predict that Iowa State conks the Huskers in a real thriller. Ne braska will be in nearly top condition so there will be no excuses along the injury route. The usual fall madness has seized the nation. Football games abound, as well as alumni, there is a hot presidential campaign on (they tell me, and the Dodgers and Yankees have opened the spring training season with their traditional New York series. The Yankees current crop of young heroes bounced out onto the grass at Ebbets Field blowing madly on their fingernails, yesterday, only to be administered a rude lesson in the art of professionalism by the sole survivor of the Al Capone gang. Not that Sal Maglie is old. Nobody who strikes out ten Yankees in a nine inning game is old. After all, Baltimore didn't have a pitcher who struck out ten Yankees all season. Incidentally, if any of you out there are wondering why 1 have been pressed into service as a columnist, you simply don't realize the difficulties involved in filling up the sports page on Fridays. Why, even Walt Blore (hats off men) has to set hot little hands to the typewriter. Brooks repeating? ... Sal Maglie sure made Monday a gloomy day for myself and any other Yankee boosters that may be around on the campus. It seems very difficult to find a shoulder to weep on. Everyone seems to be a Dodger fan. Jim Raglin of the Journ-Star sports staff stated in an article last week that there were only three Dodger fans outside of Flatbush namely: himself, a divinity student and an airman some where in Georgia. If he walked around campus or dropped in to th Union to watch one of the games, to watch one of the games, I'm sur he would change his mind. Even though I feel all alone in sticking with the Yankees, I'm still picking them to win the series, SMU all the way? ... There are plenty of rabid Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Nebraska fans in this part of the country, but I've never seen a more fervent football fan than Duane Vicory of Biz Ad college. After the Corn huskers, his favorite eleven is Southern Methodist University. Being it Notre Dame fan myself, I still haven't heard the end of the Mustang's victory over the Irish. . Huskers slight favorite ... With the opening of Nebraska's Big Seven season just a day away' I am forced to disagree with a few of my fellow crystal ball gazers and give the Huskers a slight edge over Iowa State. Although the Cyclones have looked very good in defeating Denver 10-7 and losing to Northwestern 14-13, I feel that the Huskers will be too much for them. With Roy Stinnett rapidly shaping up and Willie Greenlaw and Bennie Dillard both back in action, the Nebraska attache looks good. Iowa State is a second half team and the Cornhusker forward wall will have to hang loooe all the way. I should know better but here goes anyway: Nebraska over Iowa State by one touchdown. A look at the gridiron ... A few of the major college football games around the nation this weekend include: Penn State at Army, Tennessee at Duke, Boston College at Miami, Michigan State at Michigan, Indiana at Notra Dame, Stanford at Ohio State, Kansas State at Oklahoma, Texas Tech at Texas A&M, Brown at Yale and Colorado at Kansas. The Nebraskan sports staff has decided to stick their necks out and attempt to predict the outcome of some of the major college games each week. Keep an e5e on the sports page on Fridays and then maybe you can say I told you so on Saturdays. A t4 III i l rffl m tlrJfsm nimwi ittwiiviy in suuuiuci uu . Charlie Tsoukalas, substitute right end on the Cornhusker grid squad is reported to be a pretty fancy hoofer. It seems that Charlie is a regular customer at the YMCA dances on Tuesday evenings and struts his stuff Boston style. It makes me a little homesick, Charlie. Gone but not forgotten . . . The greatest woman athlete of all times passed away in Texas last week. Babe Didrickson Zaharias went down swinging. Never ona to take a third strike, she was courageous right down to the end. The Babe stood for everything that sports stands for, namely, decency, honesty and competitiveness. She may be gone but you can bet your last dollar she will neven be forgotten.
