Si 'X. his w w U Notes WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1939 DAILY NEBKASKAN FIVE 1 91 by June Bierbower Hosannah! Nebraska wasn't en tirely bad In footbal last fall. Ac cording to figures released by the American Statistical Football Bu reau (ain't that name fancy?), Nebraska led the nation In team percentage of conversion attempts with an .889 total out of a possi ble 1.000. Nebraska made nine touchdowns, and converted sue cesgfully after eight of them. The only time they missed was at Kan sas, and thanks to providence and a K. U. fumble in the last few v. minutes, it didn't make any dif- ference, altho that 7-6 lead Kan sas had thruout most of the last quarter was far from comfortable from a Nebraska standpoint. Marv Plock made the extra point against Minnesota; Hermie Rohrig converted against Iowa State, Missouri and Iowa and twice against Kansas State and Bill Anderson kicked goals against Kansas and Iowa. Chet Gibbens, Kansas' drop kicker made good on every one of his seven attempts. Nebraska was fourth in running back punts and kickoffs with, a. .total of 803 yards. Mississippi was first with 978, Oklahoma second with 902, and Carnegie Tech third with 825. Since this is statistics day, a glance at the Big Six basketball scoring table shows tiat four teams averaged over 40 points a game, and a fifth, Kansas did 39.9 they made 399 points in ten con tests. Oklahoma set a new offensive record with 462 points, an average of 46.2 per game, and, as might be expected, from their performance J here, committed more fouls, 142, than anyone in the conference. Missouri averaged an even 45 points per game, and had the least fouls 102 . Our dear old Nebraska ran Ok "Ufc lahoma a hot race for the foul ' championship making 140, while Iowa State had 138. The Cyclones, who were deadly on free throws, made 121 gratis tosses to lead the league. They averaged 42.7 points per game, while fifth place Nebraska averaged 41.4. Kansas State, ugly duckling of the league, averaged 36.3 points per game, with Homer Wesche averaging 15 of them. The Huskeri take one cham pionshipthey have a claim on having most points scored against them, 457 in all. That's 45.7 points a game not bad, from an oppo nent's point of view. Missouri has by far the best defensive record 372 points by opponents. They're the only team In the conference who held their opponents to less than 400 points thruout the sea son. Kansas State, in last place, had, oddly enough, the next best defensive record, allowing oppo nents 412 points, altho they were closely followed by Kansas, whose foes scored one more point 413 In all; .and .Oklahoma, .against whom was scored 416 points. Iowa ' State gave up 445 tallies. Guillilan X (Continued from Page 1) religious in a non-technical, un theological way.
