All-Jennings Regime Begins Practice Thursday By Dick Becker 1960 an aura of Thursday to begin hectic preparations for the upcoming collegiate football season. From top coaches and officials at the University of Nebraska down through the list of 58 Varsity players, you can feel the spririt of promise. Coach Bill Jennings, no man of idle boasts or false optimism, frankly backs up this encouraging belief. We just try to be Bill declares. have a better squad we just help but be.

how much better we know until after we have played Texas on Sept. 17. Regime paper we rate a better There are some question marks, but they all have a chance of producing, then they be question It also should be pointed out that this 1960 squad, which contains 17 lettermen, is also the first to be made up of players recruited entirely under the regime. It is easy to understand why Jennings be any more specific than to say it is a better squad. In his 3 previous years the Huskers have produced some of the most sensational Penn State, Minnesota, also some of the most depressing defeats State, Kansas State.

The other non-conference foe is Army.

The Big 8 increases to take in Oklahoma State this fall. Headed by tri-captains tackle Roland McDole, center Don Fricke and quarterback Pat Fischer, Nebraska can offer letter winners at. every position. The line appears more than adequate with size, speed and depth. Backfield Questions In the backfield are the question marks, players that can be excellent if they live up to expectations.

There is, for example, the shift of Fischer from back to quarterback. If the Omaha Westside senior adapts to his new position, Nebraska could present one of its most explosive offenses since the 1950 team of Bobby Reynolds. Steady Ron Meade, he of the golden toe that booted NU Football Roster Page 2D, Col. 1 3 field goals against Oklahoma, is slated for the starting quarterback position under winged attack.

And as a result, the tag team of Mayki and Miller numerous times clobbered each other much to the delight of 2,046 fans and the grapple team of Pesek and Ernie Dusek. At one point, the Jap and the ex-mystery man were punching each other, all in error, of course, but effective their opponents. Dusek was finally drubbed in the first fall (16:15) when Miller dropped him on ropes where he and his partner look iui us beating oii Ernie. Miller thought he had won the second fall in quick fashion, but a surprise tag fooled him. As he raised his hand in victory, Pesek leaped in the ring and applied his abdominal stretch for a 1:15 fall win.

Several foul ups in the final fall had Miller and Myaki clobbering each other. Then Ernie and Taro both were stunned at the same time. Miller sneaked in behind Referee Tom Novak and piled Mayki on top but Novak spotted the maneuver and shoved Miller to his corner. While Novak was distract! ed, Pesek reversed the positions with Dusek on top and when the referee returned, he counted out the Jap. Pesek won the opener in 10:40, while Emil Dusek won by disqualification over The Mighty Atlas in the special event.
