Rohriq throws two passes
to Pctsch for Husker scores
as last-minute aerial drive
brings Oklahoma's marker
Second quarter drives account for NU scoring;
Nebraska places second in conference standings
By June Bierbower.
Nebraska's fighting Cornhuskers
wound up a fine 1939 season yes
terday, as they staged two touch
down drives in the second quarter
to deefat a favored Oklahoma team
13-7.
Touchdown passes from German
Herman Rohrig to Roy Fctsch
gave the Huskers' and Biff Jones
sweet victory over Oklahoma, but
it was powerhouse football which
played an important part in yes
terday's victory. It was the first
time the Biffer has taken the Soon
ers since he came here from Nor
man in 1937, and the win cinched
second place for Nebraska in the
final Big Six standings, as Mis
souri won the title with a 20-0
victory over Kansas.

Begin drive.
Biff's starting eleven began the
first touchdown march which went
79 yards the longest drive the
team has made all season. Beryl
Clark had punted out of bounds
on the Husker 21, and after Vike
Francis got two yards through the
middle, Bounding Butch Luther
skipped 22 more on a reverse to
start the Huskers rolling.
Hopp tossed one out in the flat
to Vike Francis who juggled the
ball a second, but who charged his
way to the Sooner 40. Vike, who
was laying Sooner tacklers all
over the place yesterday, got nine
through the middle on a fake re
verse, and Luther made it a first
down on the 35. Hopp got three
yards, and Francis one, as the
Sooners were penalized five yards
for an offside.
Seconds come in.
The quarter ended there, and
Biff's other team came in. It didn't
make any difference in the touch
down march, though. Rohrig got
a yard for the first down on the
20, and four more on the next
play. Long-striding Bob Kahler
picked up eight yards in two plays,
and it was first and goal to go for
the Huskers. Hermie lost two on
the next play, but dropped back
en second down and shot the touch
down pass to Petsch, who was all
by himself in the end zone.
Rohrig's attempted conversion was
wide.
The Huskers' first score came
m it i
NU best when underdogs-
ask Sooners, Gophers, Pitt
after 2 minutes and 5 seconds were
gone, and they started in again as
Clark punted after the Sooners
who were going against the wind
chose to receive the kickoff. Roh
rig got back to the Sooner 45.
Francis ripped off tackle for 10,
then 11 yards, and the Hunkers
were on the 24.
Bob Kahler got 3 on a reverse,
Vike 2 at center, before Hermie
stepped back and tossed another
one to. the omnipresent Petsch,
completing it for a first down on
the Sooner 7.
Pass scores.
Oklahoma allowed Rohrig only
three yards on two plays, and
then Hermie's pass Into the end
zone rolled off Jack Ashburn's
finger tips. However, on fourth
clown, Rohrig pitched again to
Petsch, who went over the south
goal near the west boundary.
Late in the same period Rohrig
grabbed a Jacobs pass on the
Sooner 33, and made 13 yards on
the next play. However, a 5 yard
penalty nullified the gain and Jen
nings intercepted Rohrig's pass
just before the half ended.
The Sooners didn't score until
the last minute and a half of play,
when Beryl Clark opened up with
a desperation passing attack. He
pitched three, starting from his
own 42, and the Sooners had their
score. Rohrig had punted to Clark
on the Oklahoma 47, but the Socn
ers were penalized 5 yards for too
many times out.

One of the largest home game
crowds in many seasons over
36,000 assembled in Memorial
Stadium yesterday to watch Ne
braska better the Sooners.
Your ace Number 1 investiga
tor went down to the field after
the game to see If Sam Schwartz-
kepf knew what he was talking
about when he pointed to the side
lines indicating that J;.ck Jacobs
stepped out of bounds on the ten
yard line during a run in the third
quarter. The investigation revealed
that Sam was right; Jacobs' foot
print was plainly visible on the
sideline stripe. Oddly enough, not
one of the officials went over to
examine the footprint and Jacobs
completed a 15 yard punt return
The Oklahoma band maintained
their spirit and friendly attitude
even after defeat. They paraded
up and down the- field while play
ing for about 15 minutes after the
game had ended. Failure of the
Cornhusker musicians to join in
the victory parade after the game
was particularly noted.
When the final gun sounded
Biff Jones walked halfway across
the field to meet Tom Stidham
the boss Sooner and Jones' line
coach while he was at Oklahoma
Nebraska's so-called 'second
team" again walked away with
the honors, scoring both touch
downs. Incidentally, they were
both made at the south goal. Not
once this year have the Huskers
crossed the north goal line.
In case anyone wants to bet,
Oklahoma has tied one and lost
three games this year.
Now maybe the world at large
will, and especially Oklahomans,
take heed at the saying "the
Cornhuskers are hard to beat in
their own back yard." The Soon
ers still have to win a game from
Nebraska while playing at Lin
coln. Just four Husker seniors got In
today, but they all turned in good
jobs.

Nebraska's Scarlet and Cream
warriors avenged a defeat at the
hands of the Oklahoma Sooners
yesterday afternoon, when they set
themselves solidly in second place
in the Big Six conference stand
ings with a 13-7 victory over the
Oklahomans.
Nebraska also climaxed one of
their most successful seasons in
recent years, coming out with
seven well earned victories, one
loss to the Missouri Tigers, and a
tie in the season's opener against
Indiana, 7-7.
Great victory.
In yesterday's great victory the
Huskers again showed that they
like it when the going is tough.
They were the underdogs against
Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Okla
homa and the Scarlet and Cream
came out on top every time.
The "second" eleven put on a
fine offensive show yesterday-in
the second quarter and scored both
of the Huskers' touchdowns.
The Sooners came out strong In
the second half and penetrated
within the Husker 30, but Luther
recovered a fumble to place the
Scarlet out of danger. The re
mainder of the third period was
mainly a punting duel between
Hopp and Jacobs, with neither
team showing any sustained of
fense. Late in the final period Okla
homa turned to a passing game
and Clark to Jennings was the
combination that was clicking for
the Sooners. Three passes in a
row by Clark scored the O. U.
touchdown.
The Husker backs were all con
tributing to the Husker cause, but
the plunging of Vike Francis was
the highlight. Vike has come to
the front in this department the
last three games. The Husker
line again displayed its greatness
in smothering the Sooners. The
ends were spilling the interference
in fine style. Jack A9hburn play
ing his final game for the Huskers
did a fine job, as did George See
mann,. Sam Schwartzkopf was
making it plenty tough for the
Sooners all afternoon.
Although the name"s of the
Oklahomans didn't indicate that
they were Irish, they certainly had
the Irish temper. A number of
the boys were doing a little
"French fighting." This isn't the
first game this season that the
Sooners have become a little
angry.
