Harvards defeat Yales 7-0
on RayProchaska's 40-yard
score as spring dri I Is end
Thursday, April 18, 1940
The JIuskers put away their
football togs until next September
yesterday, after the Harvards
beat the Tales, 7-0, when Ray
Prochaska grabbed an attempted
Eli lateral and
raced forty
yards to a
touchdown i n
the third quar
ter. H a r v a r d's
score came out
of a clear sky.
The Eli firsts
had taken the
ball on their
own 19 after
Don Rubot-
Harry Hopp
ana vine ran-
Rtymond rrochks cis had led a
Journal and Star, march to the
48. Francis took the ball going
Into the line, but attempted to lat
eral to Royal Kahler as there was
no hole thfere. Prochaska, coming
in fast, grabbed the ball as it
bounced from Kong's hands and
ran untouched to a score. Warren
Alf son converted the extra point.
Only serious threat.
That was Harvard's only serious
scoring gesture, but the Yale team
couldn't cash in. The Biffer started
his two first teams against each
other, with Fred Metheny replac
ing Roy Petsch,
benched be
cause of a bad
leg, the Eli's
got the ball on
their foes' 20.
when George j
Abel blocked
Don Rubot
tom's punt and
Forrest B e h m
recovered the
ball.
The Reds, k
hough, re-rs
ulsed the V
t
p
threat on their
own five, after j0urr.a: s3 sr.
Francis had made 13 yards in
two plays, and a first down on the
7. Lennie Muskin stopped Bob
Kahler for a one yard loss, then
Harry Hopp got to the five. That
was all the farther the Blues could
get, though, because the Harvards
threw Hopp back a yard on the
next play, and on fourth down.
Francis could only get that yard
back
Don Rubottom's return punt
ent out to the 42. and after
Hopp to Kahler pass had got
seven yards, it looked as though
the Blues were started again
Harvard, held, though, and War
ren Alfson partially blocked
Hoop's punt shortly before the
quarter ended.
The two second teams met as

Eli subs, too, bogged down inside
the ten.
Nyden gets fumble.
Ed Nyden recovered Ernie
Weeks fumble on the Harvard 25,
and Kenny Simmons took it to the
eleven on two tries. The Eli's, tho,
got lust sue yards on their next
four tries, and the ball went to the
Reds.
Ernie Weekes punted on out to
the 50, but Jack Vincent raced to
the 16 with it. and the Eli's were
in scoring territory again.
Vincent s first pass was incom
plete, but on the next play he
tossed one to Nyden, who lateraled
to Simmons for a five yard gain.
Vincent made it a first down on
the six in two cracks at the line.
Simmons and Vincent each gained
a yard apiece, but there was a
mixup on the next play and Fran
cis Leik recovered a Blue fumble
on his own 9.
Vincent's pass to Leo Fisher a
few moments later took the ball
to the Red 20, but Vic Schleich
put a crimp in that threat when
he tossed Vmcent for a 12 yard
loss on an attempted pass.
Then came the third quarter and
Procliaska's score. The Yales still
were in the ball game, tho, and
started a, new march after taking
a punt on their own 35.
After one play had gained noth
ing, Hopp got 17 yards when he
ran on a pass on which no receiver
was open. He then pitched one to
Bob Kahler, and when Kahler was
finally stopped the ball wa3 on the
Reds' 18.
Hopp grot exactly nothing in
iwo cracks at the line, then Fran
cis made three yards. Bob Lud
wick, tho, lost a yard on an end
around play, and the ball went
over to the Reds.
The seconds again took over,
and in the last quarter the Biffer
cleaned the bench.
Footing was slippery from Tues
day night's rains, and it was dif
ficult for the ball carriers to get
started. A strong wind and cold
fingers were no help to passers
and punters, so it was largely a
defensive battle much of the time
The Eli's made a few good gains
on laterals, but their loss, of
course, came when one backfired.
Henry Rohn played with the Reds'
seconds, that being his first active
duty since early spring. Dale Brad
ley, John and Theos Thompson,
Allen Zikmund and Petsch were
all out of action.
Reed goes to convention
E. C Reed of the conservation
and survey division waa in Chi
cago last week attending the an
nual convention of the American
Association of Petroleum Geolo
gists. The university geologist was
particularly interested in particl
pating in the meetings of the re
search committee.

hind 4 to 1 in the ninth inning to
win by a 5-4 score. Both losses to
Luther have been at the hands of

Batteries listed.
Thex Norse batteries for the
opening game today will be either

Harry Truscott with A 1 v i r
Schmode doing the catching.
Five sophomores are expected in
the Cyclone lineup Friday, when
they face Nebraska while the
Huskers will have four newcom
ers to the team.
Iowa State's record is a 2-2 tie
and a 4-1 loss to Iowa State Teach
ers college, and double victories

in the tw-o games with the Corn
huskers. Sidney Held, sophomore
from Lincoln, and Bob Searle,
junior from Fort Crook, will be
working against the Big Six op
ponents. Le Master lost.
Nebraska's lineups against Iowa
State will probably be the same as
against Luther. One big setback
to Nebraska's chances was the loss
of Bernic LeMaster, letterman
shortstop, who broke an ankle in
.the last practice, Tuesday after
noon. His place will be taken by
