Above is Capt Tom "Posies" Smith, leader of the Iowa Stat
Cyclones, who the Huskers will meet in Memorial stadium, Satur
day. Smith calls the signals from his guard position and is a
tandout in his post in the mid dlewest The nickname is derived
from his summer job, which was working in a greenhouse. But
he is far from being a posy as the Huskers will find out come
Saturday.

record of no spectator deaths since
its erection was almost broken last
Saturday during the Iowa game
when H. E. Seibert, Taraora, Neb,
was found lying unconscious in
the stands between the halves.
Seibert was a very loyal Corn
busker supporter, and had not
missed a Nebraska home game
since the erection of the stadium.
When he was brought down to the
stadium police station, it was
learned he had suffered a heart
attack. Seibert succumbed upon
his arrival at Lincoln General
Hospital. He was given first aid
treatment by Dr. Earl Deppen,
team physician.

DAILY NEBRASKAN
Pittsburgh, 9-7
(Continued from Page 1.)
perhaps the most remarkable play
of the afternoon.
A short punt by Pitt's Bob
Thurbon on his own 22 started
the victory march. A lateral pass
via a forward flip took the ball to
the Panther 8 and a first down.
Three more plays took the ball
to the Pitt 4.
Quarterback Roy Petsch was
substituted for by Co-Captain Bus
Knight as the latters hands were
warm and had better chances of
keeping a sure hold on a last down
field goal attempt
From the 10 yard line and at a
difficult angle, Knight placed the
ball down but Vike's fielder still
found its way thru the uprights
with less than a half minute re
maining in the third period.
Huskers score first.
Nebraska's touchdown drew the
first scoring blood in the contest.
The Huskers had to march 49
yards for this marker. A reverse
play with Butch Luther carrying
the ball added a vital 25 yards on
this drive and a fake pass and then
a run by Harry Hopp gaining 16
yards took the ball to the Pitt 4.
Two tries at the line carried the
ball to the 1 yard line as the first
quarter ended. On the first j)lay
of the second period, Hopp cracked
over for the touchdown on a cross
buck. The placement for the extra
point, this time, by the Viscount,
was wide and low.
Not to be outdone, the Panthers
came storming back. From the
Husker 46, four minutes later, the
Smoky City lads came in. A sec
ond down pass fell off the out
stretched hands of Cowboy Petsch
and into the sticky fingers of End
Jack Goodridge for a first down
on the Nebraska 8.
Pitt tallies.
Two plays later, Bob Thurbon
swung wide around his left end
and cut back to cross the Husker
goal line. ' The all-important boot,
at this point, was placekicked by
Mike Sekela, Pitt game captain
and quarterback.
And so it went, the Nebraska
Scarlet-shirt ed gridders staved off
a last minute rush of the Golden
Panthers to chalk up their sixth
victory in seven starts this f alL
And in doing so, the Huskers
became one of the foremost grid
elevens in the nation. This triumph
for Nebraska gave it a two-year
successive win record over Pitts
burgh, a feat, heretofore, never
accomplished.
Alfson shines.
Rehashing the standout names
of the game, you Lave to mark
the defensive play of Clarence
Hern don and little Eddie
Schwartxkopf. These two Juniors
had their names called out time
and again over the loud speakers
for their grand line work.
Mowing down the enemy Panth
ers was Nebraska's All-American
candidate, Warren Alfson, who en
acted his part of running guard
and leading the Interference to the
-nth degree.
In the. backfield, Harry Hopp
stood out in the cold wind and
unusually slow going In the battle
of two strong lines. Vike Francis
did some noteworthy line plunging
and Roy Petsch's blocking were
also standouts.
Pitt improves.
For the Panthers, Edgar "Spe
cial Delivery" Jones, Bob Thurbon,
Jack Stetler, and Cracking George
Kracum shone in the well-balanced
Pitt backfield.
Ted Konetsky, Jack Goodridge,
and Fife were stars in the Pitt
forward wall. In rising to great
heights against Nebraska, Pitts
burgh became an inspired ball club
when Its scored Its only touchdown
and crept into the lead by one
point by half time.
From then on, the Huskers had
to dig in and when they got the
lead back again, they had their
strongest fight on their hands
since the Minnesota rame at the
start of the season.

BOUQUETS
From a column in the Daily
Iowan: "A talk with Dr. Eddie An
derson brought forth the Iowa
coach's opinion that there proba
bly aren't a better pair of ends in
the country than Dave Rankin,
Purdue's All-American of last year
and this and Prochaska of Biff
Jones' Nebraska team. Anderson
also speaks highly of Butch
Luther, the fleet Nebraska right
halfback, and Johnny Galvin of
Purdue" . . .
Continuine: "Galvin and Luther
both looked good from the press
box too, with Galvui's 50-yard
punts against Iowa helping to
make up one of the best punting
duel's seen in some time, as Jim
Youel of the Hawks matched
boots with the Boilermaker star.
Luther, next to Bill Green, was
probably the best runner on the
field at Lincoln last week end, de
spite the presence of Nebraska's
famed Hernue Rohrig, "Hippity"
Hopp and Vike Francis" . . .
ADD PRAISE
Grand posies, those words, eh
what? . . .
Add more bouquets: From the
University of Daily Kansan, "One
Big Six name will probably be
prominent on many selections, that
of Warren Alfson, Nebraska's
great running guard. Christman
of Missouri, minus the pass-snagging
Orf twins, has not been the
