THIS WEEK IN HUSKER HISTORY
The week of April 20-26, looking back in five-year intervals

1914: Vic Halligan is elected captain of the 1914 Cornhusker football team. The senior tackle from North Platte would become Nebraska's first football All-American. 

1939: “Harvard” nips “Yale,” 10-7, as the Huskers’ spring practices end. Vike Francis’ 26-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter was the difference, and more than 2,000 fans attended.

Knight and Seeman
1944: A pair of former Husker teammates, end George Seeman (1936, ’38, ’39) and quarterback George “Bus” Knight (1938, ’39, ’40), describe their roles in low-altitude World War II bombing raids in the Pacific Theater.

1954: Husker football halfback Dirkes Rolston becomes a footnote in NU baseball history by walking with the bases loaded to give the Nebraska its only run in a no-hitter pitched by Nebraska's Richard Geier against Kansas. It remains the only nine-inning no-hit, no-walk game by a Husker pitcher.

1964: In a Saturday scrimmage, the lower units humble a complacent Red squad. The Daily Nebraskan speculates that linemen Dick Czap, Mike Grace and Dennis Carlson and backs Ron Kirkland, Harry Wilson and Pete Tatman could be moving up the depth chart.

1984: Greg McQuitter, a Husker defensive back in 1977, marries boxer Muhammad Ali's ex-wife, Khalilah Ali, in Las Vegas. The marriage would last just a few months.
