To Husker Wingmen
For Counters.
niT.i.AS Tex. Nebraska wrote
tv.a finnl chanter of a fine 1932
football season with a 21 to 14 vic
tory over Southern Methodist uni
versity at Dallas Saturday aiter
noon. but a dazzling air attack
touched off by the Huskers in the
first half barely proved sufficient
margin to win.
Steve Hokuf ciosea ms uru
husker grid career in a spectacu
lar manner, scoring two of the Ne
braska touchdowns on passes from
Sauer and KanrnDrucn in
first two periods. The Mustangs
tallied once in the second quarter
and again in the final stanza.
One of the oddities concerning
the S. M. U. tilt was the fact that
the Nebraska team realized each
touchdown on a pass, while the
Mustangs .suDDOsedlv a strong
aerial eleven, was the first outfit
to score against the Scarlet through
the line. Travis and McNutt al
ternated at the ball carrying chore
in producing the Methodists" firft
score, punching their way through
tackle and center from the Husker
40-yard line.
Hokuf Recovers Fumble.
Fumbles played a large part in
aiding the Nebraska scores. Hokuf
recovering the ball on the S. M. U.
37-yard line on the first play of
the game. A Sauer to Penney
pass gained fifteen yards for a
first down on the 22-yard line.
Mathis and Staab worked the
leather to the 8-yard line from
where Sauer tossed a pass tc
Hokuf for the touchdown.
A penalty for clipping slappeo
on S. M. U. gave Coach Bible'a
team the ball on the Methodi.it
40-yard line. After two passes by
Sauer were knocked down, the
Husker fullback shot another to
Hokuf, who grabbed the pigskin
on the 10-yard line and ran the
rest of the distance unhampered.
Ray, left half for the Mustangs,
fumbled a few minutes later on
his own 25-yard line and Hulbeit
recovered. Fahrnbruch came in
for Sauer at this juncture, and the
Crete sophomore flipped a pass to
Hokuf on the first play for a
touchdown. Masterson placekicked
all three extra points.
A Cornhusker fumble late in the
third quarter enabled the Dallas
team to gain possession on the
Nebraska 27-yard line. Short gains
through the line were clipped off
by the Mustang backs as the
fourth quarter started, and then
Travis passed to Ray for a first
down on the Husker 7-yard line.
Travis tossed an aerial to Fuqua
