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

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.

left half for the Cyclones. 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."

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.

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.
Kansas State will be at Oklahoma this Saturday. Tt looks as though
