Curtis, Neb.- (U.P.)-The Nebraska Cornhuskers will wind up their fall drills here with a practice game tomorrow no matter what the difficulties.
Coach Bill Glassford, plagued with bad weather, the flu and injuries to players, said the game would be played "even if we have only 11 men on a side and 12 inches of water on the field."
The team will return to Lincoln Sunday and Glassford hoped for warm summer weather back on the home field. In Lincoln, students planned a welcome home rally for the team and coaching staff.
At least two of those on the disabled list, guard Kay Curtis and tackle Dick Regier, will be back for duty Saturday. Most of the flu cases have improved. Glassford said Dick Westin, Omaha, would not be able to play Saturday, but indicated most of the others would.
