11 IT!
Nebraska's Cornhuskers, vic
torious in a sluggish 7-0 game
against Kansas, face two of the
season s toughest assignments as
the season ends as they go into
the Pitt game Saturday and the
Oklahoma tilt a week from then.
The Huskers will have only
three workouts this week before
they entrain for Panther Hollow
Wednesday night, and already Biff
Jones was at work as he gave
them new plays.
Kelly Still Out.
Rohrig, and Howard Kelly, re

From the University Daily Kan
Ban:
"Outstanding student hang-outs
nt Nebraska) seem to be the
Student Union, Freddie's 'Tavern,
the Brass Rail, and the Tasty
Pastry."
Ho him.
Comparative scores: Iowa beat
Purdue 4-0. Notre Dame beat fur
due 3-0. Iowa beat Notre Dame
7-6.
Nebraska beat Kansas State
25-9. Oklahoma beat Kansas State
13-10, so Nebraska will beat Ok
lahoma by 12 points.
Nebraska beat Iowa State 10-7,
Oklahoma beat Iowa State 38-6
so Oklahoma will beat Nebraska
by 29 points.
Nebraska beat Kansas 7-0. Ok
lahoma beat Kansas 27-7, so Ok
lahoma will beat Nebraska by 13
points.
So what?
Gordon Grammack In the Des
Moines Register:
"The Nebraska offense wa3
ragged and sloppy, with fumbling,
glow blocking and indifferent line
charging bogging down the Husk
er attack. Fortunately for the
Cornhuskers, the Kansans' run--jEng
attack was also weak....
"If the running attack of the
Cornhuskers was weak, the pass-
ina was worse. Out of nine at
tempts, they only completed one
for seven yards and that doesn't
include the times the Nebraska
passers and catchers were rushed
and covered so effectively by the
Jayhawks that they tried to run
instead and usually with unim
pressive results....
"The Cornhuskers will have to
perk up this week If they're going
to eive Pittsburgh any trouble
next Saturday.
"Maybe they were observing
Armistice dav here. They sure
weren't very warlike."
Tsk, tsk.
We see our boy Edgar Jones,
the Scranton Scourge of whom we
were talking about all last spring
finally came through for the
Panthers. It was Jones who tossed
that loner pass to Bob Thurbon In
the final two minutes of play to
beat Carnegie Tech, 6-0
Two games and the feats of two
players in Saturday's games were
similar In some respects. Illinois
beat Wisconsin, 7-0, Nebraska beat
Kansas 7-0. Jimmy Smith scored
fe Illinl touchdown on an 82 yard
run. while Hermie Rohrig starred
( n the Nebraska drive for a score
finally going over for the t'.ch
' wn and kicking the extra point
Both Wisconsin and Kansas
threatened In the final seconds of
play with desperate passing at
tacks. Smith ran a Wisconsin
back, who had caught a pass, out
on the Illinois 3 as the gun popped,
and Rohrig knocked down that last
KU pass in the end zone.
Just a personal note: We've seen
oodles of Nebraska games, many
of them thrillers, but Saturday
was the first time that our knees
were actually and plainly shaking
as the game ended.
