Tuesday, October 31, 1939 The DAILY NEBRASKAN Betas, Farm House enter grid finals Phi Delts, Phi Psi's lose games Farmers win thriller, 7-6; Beta Theta Pi takes 12-6 decision by Harl Hunt. Beta Theta Pi and Farm House, winners of yesterday's semi-final touch football games, tangle to morrow afternoon for the fra ternity intramural championship. Farm House won a hard earned 7-6 victory over the Phi Psi's in an overtime fray, while the Betas turned back a fighting Phi Delt team, 12-6. The Phi Psi's drew first blood in their tussle with the Farmers when "Monk" Meyer tossed a touchdown pass to Warren Radtke in the first half. This set up the pins for the fireworks, and Farm House promptly started a rally which looked touchdown-bound. Two passes, thrown by John Fitz gibbon to Norman Davis took the pigskin from the Farm House 15 to the Phi Psi 20. A few more plays put the ball on the 5 yard line, but the Fanners were un able to score. In the third quarter Fitzgibbon flipped the ball to Don Fitz, who scored for Farm House and put the contest in a 6-6 dead-lock. In the extra period a 15-yard pen ally against Phi Psi put the game on ice for the Farmers. With four downs allotted to both teams, the Phi Psi's unravelled 16 yards in their first attempt, but were stopped cold by the Farmers in the rest of the period. On the last play Fitzgibbon sewed up the game with a 10 yard pass to Fitz. In the other semi-final skir mish, Lyle King chalked up the lone Phi Delt tally when he in tercepted a pass deep in enemy territory and ran nearly the length of the field untouched. Before this, King had inter cepted a Beta pass to put the ball on the 5-yard stripe, but his tearn-matcs could not score. The Bi tas tied up the ball game when Bob Kube blocked a Phi Delt kirk, picked it up, and broke away for the counter. Corning back after intermission, Bud Tall in.., n threw a 30 yard pass to Rid Held which put the ball in scoring position. On the next play Tall inan tossed another one to Held for the winning score. In le?.gue I of Barb football, the Commander! won by a 12-0 score over Baldwin Hall. The first touchdown came when Hugh Mc Kenna caught a pass heaved by Blaine Lord; the second score came when Bob Rouch received a pass from the Sftme passer. Blaine started a threat in the last quarter when he intercepted a pass and ran 23 yards to put the ball on the Commanders' 11 yard line. In league IV Cornhusker Coop swamped the KKK Klub, 29-0.

Them was the days when Hack ney was a green youngster in fact, when he reported for prac tice as a freshman and was told to get on the line of scrimmage he said "What line?" He played center as a fresh man, and was moved to the back field as a sophomore, but didn't blossom until his last two years in school. Vike started every game over Hackney that year, but moved to Colorado the next sea son, so the two linebusters played together only one year. We hear that the Missouri bench came In for a little bit of heckling the other day. Harold Niemann, of whom you may have heard, and I rv Sherman were re turning from the press conven tion in Des Moines so decided to stop off in Ames and "scout" Mis souri for Biff. They sat right be hind the Missouri bench, and their taunts such as "You can't play like that against Nebraska" and "Dont put that guy in, Don leave so-and-so in there, he's do ing okay," had Faurot in a dither. When it comes to those good old "crooshal" games this one with Missouri Saturday about takes the cake. When the season started Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma were rated as tops in the Big Six the Huskers and Missouri being doped to fight it out for second place. Well, it must be said, Nebraska has come along better than nearly everyone expected. Missouri has been all right, but their record is smirched by an inglorious three touchdown defeat against Ohio State, recently tumbled by Cornell. All of which means that a de feat by Missouri would pull the Huskers way down in national rankings and smear any hope they would have of winning undisputed claim to the Big Six title when they meet Oklahoma. Nebraska was better against K-State than was Missouri, but Mizzou was far better against Iowa State. However, the Huskers snowed they could play football away from home, and although me piay was spotty at timet, any team which is alert as Nebraska at making the most of scoring op portunities has to be reckoned with. At times Nebraska looked so much like a Jock Sutherland Panther crew that it was too good to even imagine. But there we go getting opti mistic. Paul Christman passed the Huskers dizzy last year, and, with the exception of Harold Hursh of Indiana Nebraska hasn't met a passer thi year who can rate with Pitchin' Paul. However, me husk er pass defense undoubtedly has improved since that bad day at Indiana. Anyhoo, it is interesting to think about what will happen Saturday, so we'll just wait and see. Five vets report for swimming Chart, Simmons absent as Hagelin drills tank prospects Five lettermen are among those reporting to Coach Pete Hagelin for early season swimming drills, as prospects seem fairly bright for a good season. Ralph Worden, who won the Big Six diving championship last year, as a sophomore is back, and has been working out Dick Van Horn, a backstroker who is being used as a diver, also, this year is back, along with breaststroker Fred Rodenbeck, and Houghton Furr, a minor letterman in the distances, Barry Back. Jack Barry, ace 220 and 440 man of two years ago is back for another fling at Big Six competi tion, and should be good for many points in those events for the Huskers this winter. Bob Chatt and Bob Simmons, who won minor letters last year, have not reported for practice as yet. Nine other prospects. Nine other varsity candidates look like good material for Hage lin's team, which will be out to improve its last year's standing of third place behind Iowa State and Oklahoma in the Big Six. They are divers Bordy and Charles, backstrokers O'Neil and Foster, sprinters Edwards and Widfeldt, and distance men Fleis bach, Roberts and Firman. A number of promising freshmen are reporting, among them being Hil gert, Oldfield, Crancer, Swihart, Hall and Woods.

The Husker aerial attack was clicking again last Saturday as the Scarlet com pleted all three of the passes thrown. However, one that took the Huskers to the ten yard line was ruled no good, and the Husk ers were set back 15 yards for clipping. One of the other passes was good for a touchdown, De Fruiter carrying the ball over.
