Mentor Glen Presnell and his Husker grid cripples spent a peaceful evening in Chicago last night and were looking forward to tomorrow's clash with the Pitt Panthers today.
Despite the crippled condition of the squad, the gridders are determined to erase all memory of Pitt's narrow squeeze last year.
Hot and ColdHot and cold Pitt record features a 20-7 win over potent Southern Methodist, a 7-6 defeat by the powerful Great Lakes club, and a 9 loss to Indiana. Ohio State won, 59-19, over the Panthers last week and Minnesota triumphed 50-7 two weeks previous.
Presnell indicated last night that he intends to start Mary Athey, Ki Eisenhart, Roy Long and Fred Metheny in the Husker backfield. Long and Metheny are still a bit below par as a result of the beating they took against Mizzou.
Chances are that Dale Bradley and At Zikmund, vet backfield performers, will gain a nod at the tiller but only In relief duty. With Bobby Cooper still nursing his sore shoulder, soph Harold Hungerford may see action as Fred Metheny's quarterback understudy.
The Huskers will arrive In the Smokey City tomorrow morning for the battle.
