'Pointing' for Lions
"We really were up for Penn State," Dennis Emanuel,
one of Nebraska's line standouts Saturday afternoon, said in
the noisy Nebraska locker room after the Huskies' 14-7 upset
over Penn State.
"I don't know why we wanted to beat them," the 25-year-
old tackle continued, "but we
really wanted to win this one and
we pointed towards it."
Emanuel, who just recently re
turned from the service after let
tering for the Huskies in 1952, 1
wasn't the only Nebraska player
who felt this way. Captain Dick
McCashland, who received the
game football for his afternoon'sl
efforts, echoed the statement.
"Everyone played to win this
one," McCashland said. "I think
we wanted to win the ball
game more than They (Penn
State) did. It was an overall
team effort. Even the boys on
the- sidelines helped." •
George Harshman, one of only
tWo Nebraska players who comes
from Pennsylvania agreed with
his teammates. Harshman, a sen
ior quarterback, hails from Dick
erson Run—a small town located
about 30 miles from Pittsburgh.
"We were laying for Penn
State," Harshman said. "This re
minded me of our game with Ok
lahoma last season. We were
really up for that game and led
Oklahoma 7-0 at the• end of the
first quarter. But their overall
manpower just wore us out.
"I think they should have
thrown more hook , passes,"
Harsh man., continued. "That
was their biggest mistake in
my opinion. We were looking
for the long passes and fading
back for them, leaving our mid
dle open. But State didn't take
advantage of this.
"You know," Harshmarr,con
chided, "I really wanted to beat
Penn State. I wanted to go there
when I graduated from (Liberty)
high school, but Rip I (Engle)
wouldn't pay any attention to
me. Now, we're even."
Nebraska's coach Bill.l . enningL,
who saw his team win my one
of ten games in his fir t season
last fall, also credited tom spirit
for playing a major pal in the
victory.
"We were working r al hard
for this one," the form r Okla
homa end standout sail. "Each
man had to fight his , uts out
and he did, think manuel
helped to bring the tea along
as did our - captain (McC. shland).
"We hacl the psych.logical
edge, being the and = rdogs,"
Jennings continued. "Penn
State had a real good b 11 club
and some real dangerou- backs
in (Dave) Kasperian, ( at) Bo
tula and (Richie) Luc- How

breaks when that guy

other hand, none of our mis-
takes cost us.
"I don't know what we'll do
in ,the rest of our games," Jen
nings concluded. "You never can
tell about football. Right now
we're looking towards Purdue
and hoping we can beat them."
Penn State's coach Rip Engle
had his own voice in the matter.
"I think the key point was our
lack of speed," the disappointed
Engle said after the game. "And
that kickoff broke our morale.
"I knoW we lacked pep in the
first half," Engle admitted, "but
I think the blame for that lies
in our practices. Do you know
that we haven't scrimmaged for
over a week and a half because
of our injuries. You can't run a
football team that away.
"I don't think we should be
so hard on (Maury) Schleicher
for dropping those passes," En
gle said. "Remember, he was a
fullback before. Bell come
along.
"I thought (B i 11) Wehmer,
(Chuck) Ruslavage and our tac
kles played a pretty good game.
But I was a little disappointed
with our sophomores. They didn't
run like they could."

Booters Hopes
By Sophomore
.After All-Ame'rican soccer
halfback Howie Maierhofer
broke his ankle and was lost
for the season, Lion Coach
Kenny Hosterman naturally
began to worry about who
would fill the big gap.
Finding someone to fill the
shoes of such a capable perform
er was a big problem for the
bootees successful mentor.
But Hosterman thinks that he
has come up with the athlete who
can remedy the situation—soph
omore Bill Rierson.
"I'm very pleased with Hier
son." said Hosterman. "He's a
real hustler. Last week he
played well enough in our
scrimmages to pr o v e that he
could take over Howie's center
halfback spot. He could be the
answer to a lot of our prob
lems."
Rierson played on the Lion
freshman team last year and did
a commendable job. He wasn't
really noticed until last week
when he distinguished himself
practice sessions.
According to Hosterman, Rier
son has all the physical assets fold
playing halfback:
"He is smart, has two good
feet, and he can diagnose plays,
well. Right now he isn't in the
same class as Maierhofer, but he
has so much natural ability• that
he should be a top notcher soon."
With the unexpected emer
gence of Rierson, the Lion
halfback situation seems to be
in fairly good shape. Hosier
man plans to flank Rierson
with two veteran performers—
Herb Hertner and Gary Miller.
Miller had been working out
at center forward in early prac
tices. He was switched back to

athlete. He is big, agile and

Miller's counterpart, Hertner,
is a two-year letterman at half
back. He can play defense well"
and is also a scoring threat.
"Herby never gives up. He's al
so very skilled and is always
thinking out there," remarked
Hosterman.
Like his teammate Mike Stoll
meyer, Hertner never gets much
attention but always gives a good
solid performance.
In reserve Hosterman has, an
other sophomore—Gene Raiford.
"Raiford is a corner," said the
Lion mentor. Raiford has the po
tential for developing into a good
solid halfback. All he needs is
other good halfback brigade this
Saturday when the Lions open
at home with Bucknell.
"Although I was playing be

Ray Berry), I thought I could
play enough to be of value to
the Colts," Walters "commented.

man. But a badly twisted knee
may cut down his effectiveness
this year.
Another halfback reserve is
Wayne Rogers. Rogers is an
other handyman for Hosterman.
Ho will be used at halfback but
can easily be switched to the
front line.
