DAILY NEBRASKAN
Wildcats on prowl for Huskers
h Br I
l!l : Jim Evinger I
How's this for school spirit? To
welcome home the Iowa State Cy
clones after their 21-12 loss at the
hands of Nebraska, there were
nearly a thousand students. The
dozen points the Ames lads piled
tip In the first half against the
Huskers was just about a moral
victory for the Cyclones.
Here's a problem for you via
Robert L. Ripley's "Believe It or
Not" cartoon series:
A pitcher can .allow 54 hits In a
nine-inning game and still score a
ehutout. How comeT See bottom
of this column for answer.
Something to look forward to.
Minnesota's Golden Gophers may
be losing George Franck by grad
uation but the other "touchdown
twin," Bruce Smith, will be back
to cause more worry in 1941 foot
ball. Are you reading Huskers ?
In 1920, the University of Ne
braska had four football games
end with the scores reading, 20-0.
The biggest score ever to be rolled
up on a college gridiron opponent
was the 222-0 shellacking Georgia
Tech pasted upon little Cumber
land university in 1916. Here are
other records of old C. U. in op
ponent scoring.
O-ttJ Georgia Troh (1916)
0-62 Vandrrbllt (1894)
0-107 Bewanee (1918)
0-M Vandrrhltt (101B)
0-101 Trnnrmwc 1I5)
O-S0 Vanderbllt (193S)
0- 71 Mlsnlmtlppi State (1914)
0-4S VandVrfllt (1901)
t- 8 Memphli Tpaclirm (I9S8)
0-44 Alhama (1903)
Even Knox college can't come
very close to that record. It seems
that Cumberland's opponents have
acted on the theory of " 'Tis better
to give than to receive."
And here's your answer to Rip
ley's sticker:
The first batter hits a three
base hit and is thrown out stretch
ing It; the second batter does the
same thing. The next three men
single. The next batter hits the
pitched ball which strikes a base
runner making the third out but
the batter Is credited with a base
hit
The total number of hits for that
Inning is six and the same pro
cedure for nine innings would give
a total of 54 hits. Seeing is believ

Five Huskers
named on UP
Big Six team
Five University of Nebraska
footballers landed positions on the
annual United Press Big Six
eleven and so dominated the team
as has never been done before.
Four more Huskers were placed
on the second squad.
Three stalwart Husker linemen
Ray Prochaska, Forrest Behm
and Warren Alfson and two
high-caliber backs Harry Hopp
and Butch Luther were the Scar
let gridders on the UP conference
team.
Four on second.
On the second squad, Fred Pres
ton and Eddie Schwartzkopf were
the linemen, while Roy Petsch and
Hfirmie Rohrig were picked in the
secondary.
All seniors comprised the first
team, while only four juniors
found places In the second lineup.
An honor roll for those Big Six
players who were outstanding but
did not see considerable action
because of injuries was also
named. Nebraska's Bus Knight
was so described as "the best
blocker In the conference."
Farm House beats
Betas in football
consolation title
In a game played on a snow
covered field, Farm House an
nexed the consolation trophy after
defeating a spirited Beta Theta Pi
team by a 7-0 score. The game
was between the winners of the
two leagues that were defeated by
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Delta
Theta, who were finalists in fra
ternity intramural championships
in the semifinal play.
The two teams were represented
with only five men on a side and
this resulted in the close score.
Norman Davis put over the win
ning tally after carrying a punt
back to the Beta end zone. War
ren Gableman dropklcked the un
needed extra point
Last year Farm House won the
fraternity championship but were
replaced this fall by Phi Delta
Theta. This game ends up all ef
forts along the fraternity intra
mural football for another year
and the results are as follows: Phi
Delta Theta, champion; Sigma Phi
Epsilon, runner-up; Farm House,
consolation champion, and Beta
Theta Pi, consolation runnerup.

K-State plots
big overthrow
of Nebraska
MANHATTAN, Kas., Nov. 28.
The 1940 Big Six conference foot
ball season will go down in history
as an easy one on the "dope"
bucket unless Kansas State is
able to sneak up on Nebraska's
powerful Cornhuskers at Lincoln
Saturday.
Everything has rolled along just
about as predicted. Even the old,
red-hot rivalries failed to trip the
experts. The Huskers have lived
up to advance notices so well that
those who play with records and
statistics can see no possible
chance for the Wildcats to keep
Nebraska from gaining undisputed
possession of the conference
crown.
But Kansas Staters remember
the K-State-Nebraska series has
provided many close, hard-fought
contests, and the Wildcats would
like nothing better than to wind
up their season by doing what no
other team, except Minnesota, has
been able to do defeat Nebraska.
Huskers rate best.
Comparative scores show that
the best Kansas State can do Sat
urday is to hold Nebraska to a 21
point margin of victory. Nebras
ka defeated Iowa State 21 to 12,
but the Cyclones thumped K-State
12 to 0. The Huskers' margin
would be 27 points on the basis
of comparative scores of the Ne
braska and Kansas State game
with Oklahoma, 24 points on the
basis of the Missouri game, and
31 points judging by each team's
performance against Kansas uni
versity. Kansas State has defeated Ne
braska only twice since the first
game in 1911, both times at Lin
coln. The Wildcats won 10 to 9
In 1930 and did the job 19 to 7 in
1934 to win the Big Six champion
ship. Three important
barb grid games
remain scheduled
Three games are to be played
this week in the barb intramural
touch football leagues. ACBC and
the Barb Cats will play off a first
place tie in league 1. Davis Hall
has won the championship in
league 2, with KKK taking top
honors in league 3.
The Mad Russians must over
come the Stratford Club to annex
the league 4 title and YMCA can
throw the league 5 title race into
a three way tie by defeating the
Termites. Tappa Nu Kegg is the
other team involved. As soon as
these games have been played, the
winner of each league will com
pete with the Test, the winner of
this round robin to meet the cham
pion of the fraternity intra-murals.

Robrig on All-America squad
V o f - - 1
,s Vl . v l "irvv.Vi
Nebraska's Herman Rohrig, shown above ready for action,
was named a member of an All-America squad picked by The
Football News, "The American Collegiate Sports Weekly." This
is a "three deep" All-America which tries to eliminate some of the
unfairness that creeps into any selection of just eleven men. So a
squad of 33 wen was named, three players for each position. In
referring to Hermie, The News said, "Herman Rohrig of Nebraska
proved to be the thorn in the side of every team it competed against."
Tommy Harmon, Michigan halfback, was listed as the star of the
year among the backs, while Rudy Mucha, Washington center, was
rated the same among the linemen. Joe Mernik, Minnesota place
kicker, won the title of "All-America toe." Paid Christman, Mis.
souii quarterback, was the only other Big Six star placed.
