(AP Wirephnto Saturday Night.) ft NEBRASKA MAY 2, 1948 huskers ANDERSON A'iaesti'c George ''Potsy" Clark tmlleJ down the curtain or 1948 University of Nebraska sprinfi football (inlls Saturday with a loud clatter in form of a bruising thiee-hour scrimmage. By liMrt and air, the Blue squad diOVe to a decisive 38-7 victory over the Reds in an all- out demonstration of spirit and nard play. "The scrlmmace was.

a fine climav to as good a sprint practice as I've ever had In my life," commented Potsy in the drcssbf room. "We had nothing; but 100 pecent co-operation from the boys and the spirit was admirable." WHEN THE Saturday firing ceased, the Blues had accumulated six touchdowns thusly: (1) A 30-yard drive, powered by Gerald Ferguson and Junior Collopy, ended with Cletus Fischer whizzing around right end from five yards out. Bob Costello footed the extra point. (2) Guard Johnny Sedlueek, grabbed a partially-blocked punt in the air, rambled 23 yards to a touchdown. Costello converted.

(3) Kenny Fischer tossed a 17-vard pass to End Don Schnei der. (4) Sparked by 10 and 15 yard With was the wlnlerbook favorite, and the only question In moat of the experts' minds i whether Coaltown, a sensational sprinter, mlfht to the full mile and one-quarter so fat that Citation would find It Impossible to make up for lost ground. Citation, beaten only twice previously In 16 races, answered all the questions Saturday. After watching the Calumet comet run. it is difficult to imagine any real competition for him either in the Ptenkriess or Belmont Stakes, next hurdle in his path to the hallowed "'triple crown." lOl'RTH in today's race if it might be called that whs Billings, owned by R.

Brann. They might as well have stayed home. It was the smallest field lo run In the Derby alnre 1907, when the same numbrr started. Citation by hi easy victory added 183.400 the already bulting Calumet coffers, -and Coaltown's second place was worth another 10,000. Because of the preponderance of faith in Citation and Coal-town, there was no place or show betting.

Citation repaid the barkers of the entry with a surprisingly $2.80 for each. $2 llcket. The track management 'had feared a "minus" pool, which would have forced it to dig into its own money to pay off the bettors, but an early rush of wagering on My Request by a big Texas contingent got the Churchill Downs folk out of that unhappy predicament Actually, My Request was the listed favored when the tote board lit up an hour before the race. I 1 Aiu was encouraging. Clark and the coaching staff had particular praise for the improved blocking, especially of the first two Blue lines.

Potsy also singled out the passing and scampering of the swift Ackerman, I lopy's driving-, Don Bloom's all-around play, and the defensive work of linemen Ales Cochrane, Ralph Damkroger, Charley ToogAod, Freddy -Jlawklns, and Fred Golan. I Golan may make us forget Carl Samuelson," commented the little tutor. "He's been coming along fust." FULLBACK Tom Novak, absent because of baseball duties, will probably be moved back to center, according to Clark. Coll-opy's peppery demonstration in spring drills gives Potsy opportunity to let Novak relieve the center gap. Halfbacks Jim Myers, Dick Hutton and Bill Moomey were with the track squad at Columbia, Mo.

Clark believes the squad's central weakness may be at guard and tackle where there ris little depth In experience. The end positions, especially since Jck Pesek joined the pro ranks, also are ahy of seasoned substitutes. "But you can count on us in every- game," winks Patsy. "You know, a determined football squad can do a lot and this squad has that spirit." Gov. Val Peterson talked briefly to the squad midway in the scrimmage, offering assurance that the people of the state were behind the team.

A campus football banquet, May 10, will wind up grid activity until Potsy summons four varsity squads for the first fall drill, Sept. 1. Lineups: Blurs (No. 1) Bluea (No 2) Danikrnicrr Ir. Flrtrhn TotHCuoil Hoy 8rilctk re.
