The Cornhusker passing, which was supetb last week, took a backseat to the running game as the Reds scored 8 times, but only twice by air. Willie Ross, veteran halfback from Helena, got things off on the right foot, dashing 60 yards on a trap play for the first Red score.

Bill (Thunder) Thornton, showing he has lost none of his class, belted loose for touchdown runs of 47 and 40 yards. Kent McCloughan, speed merchant from Broken Bow, also got into the act, out-running several Whites on a 44- yard pitchout from quarterback John Faiman. Quarterback Dennis Claridge scored on a 3-yard plunge and fullback Mike Koehler crashed across from the 3.

Collejse Tennis STATE COLLEGE NEBRASKA WESLEYAN 7, Dana 0 Tech Land 5 on Shrine Rosters By CONDE SARGENT Prep Sports Writer Lincoln undefeated football team has landed a good share of the Shrine South all-star team. The 66 players toil in the 4th annual charity game Aug.

18 included 5 members of state championship club. Tabbed were Quarterback Dave Lebsack, End Skip Peterson, Center Chuck Squier, Tackle Mick Pierce, and Halfback Gary Meuhlhausen. Announcement of the North and South teams was made by Robert C. (Bob) Russell, president of Shrine Bowl which sponsored the annual game between graduated high school seniors. Omaha Tech was the only other school to equal contribution.

Tech will have 5 representatives on the North team. Backs Fred Farthing, Hally Rutledge, Ron Turner, Tackle Lynn Harris and End James Prater were Trojan choices of Shrine coaches. The 33-man squads will represent 37 different schools when they collide at Memorial Stadium this summer. The South has won the previous 3 games. Total contribution from the contest to crippled children has exceeded $172,000.

Schools represented for the first time are Omaha Bishop Ryan, Omaha Cathedral, Dorchester, Sutton, Kimball, North Platte, West Point Guardian Angel, Polk, and Seward Concordia. Head coaches Cliff Dale of Fairbury for the South and Don Leahy of Creighton Prep for the North, expressed elation with their squads, which include all members of The Sunday Journal and Star All-State team plus numerous class all-staters. The Highway 30-30A dividing line, used as usual to divide the talent, sent 6 all-staters to the North and 5 to the South. North all-staters are End Grant Simmons of Omaha Benson, Tackle Bill Dunn of Omaha North, Guards -Mike Kennedy of Omaha Benson and Bert Hetrick of Omaha North, Back Keith Grimes of Columbus, and Center Brent Krantz of Blair. South award winners are Lebsack and Peterson, backs Kelly Petersen of Cozad, Ron Poggemeyer of Nebraska City and Tackle Jim Brown of Omaha Central.

That sends a majority of the dream team linemen to the North and three-fourths of the backfield to the South. Even at this early date, it is presumed that South coach Dale will wind his offense around the highly-regarded quarterbacking skills of Lebsack. Depth apparently will be present on both teams. Dale and Leahy have said there were more good players in the state than ever before, even though individual stars as numerous. South assistant coaches are Ollie Smith of Hastings; Bill James, of Bellevue, and Oscar Smith of Nebraska City.

North aides are Ralph Moerer of Grand Island, old Chaffee of Sidney, and Gene Pillen of David City Aquinas. Eight-man selections, one for each team, are Dan Tesar of Dorchester for the South and Kenneth Liska of Niobrara for the North. Tesar was a Sunday Journal and Star 8-man all-state choice. The teams will report for two w'eeks of practice on Aug. 6.

Training camps are the same as last at Doane College in Crete and North in Fremont at Midland College. The Rosters South Endii S)(tp Peterson. Lincoln North east; HoPPer, Auburn; Tom Cotton, McCtxtk; Woody Dismuke, Bellevue; Regy Green. Polk; Roger Meyer, liellevue. Tarkles-Dennis Getting.
