Although the Huskers losl their opening game to Texas, 20-0, Saturday, their play was determined and tough. Leading the Cornhuskers was Fricke, who was NU's ton ball carrier and made many terocious tackles on Texas ball-carriers. Fricke, playing his first game at fullback, carried the ball eight times and picked up 35 yards for a 4.4 yards per carry average. His defensive prowess, which was mainly responsible for his selection to the All-Big 8 Second Team as a lineback er last year, was very visible in his performance Saturday. The six foot, 187 pound jun ior is 19 years old. He isn't what you'd call big for a foot ball player, especially for a fullback, but he makes up for average size by speed, power ful running and constant de termined effort. Off the field, the blond haired linebuster is quiet, but he is sincere and a hard worker in all of his activities. Due to the talented centers on this year's team, Coach Bill Jennings switched Fricke to fullback. Last year Don started every game at center and played over 400 minutes earning his first letter. Questioned about his switch from center to fullback, Don says that it doesn't make too much difference, but he fav ors the fullback spot.

The sparkling play of Cooper was one' reason for moving Don Fricke from center to fullback. BY 26 The Daily Nebroskon Texas loose in the second quarter. With the ball on the Tex as 37, he bulled his way up-the-middle for 21 yards to the TU 16. He was stopped by the last Longhorn defender, in the play which was one of the few Husker scoring threats. Fricke also had a 12-yard run in the first quarter which was called back because of a penalty. He plowed for two first downs and never lost a yard during the game. When asked about the up coming game against Minne sota and this season's out look, Don replied, "The Min nesota game should be a real tough one. Our team this year is a lot better, especially in the line and there is more speed." "The spirit is a little bet ter than last year's, too." He picks the '59 Huskers to post a definite improvement over the 1958 record of three wins and seven losses. As a star at Hastings High Fricke lettered twice each in football and basketball and earned three monograms in track. ' His gridiron achievements placed him on the 1957 All State Class A team and Big 10 Conference squad. In track, he was a standout sprinter. Baseball also played a big role in Don's athletic career as he played legion ball for Hastings, earning a spot on the All-Sectional team as a center fielder. He also enjoys swimming and horses. Don maintained a 5.7 schol astic average last fall. He is in Pre-Dental School in the College of Arts and Science. In giving his feelings about the Minnesota team in con trast to last week's foe, Texas, Jennings stated, "They are a big team, as most Big Ten teams are. They also possess more line weight and strength than Texas." The Huskers will fly to Minneapolis Friday. Take-off time is 12:30 p.m. Nebraska will work out in Minneapolis prior to the game rather than a practice before leaving Lin coln.
