!Ihurs'day, December 19, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKAN 3 AJ KlelbirasEsa ver Sftaoufiwdi say these B miles Wk By Jim Evinger. (DAILY sports editor) I'm looking at the Nebraska Stanford clash in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day thru rose colored glasses. To us, the Indians are an unknown power, but the Husker knowl edge of mathematics is good enough to find the answer. Therefore, I'm taking Ne braska because of a superior spirit, a greater defense and stronger reserves. Scores by Luther on a reverse and Pro chaska on a pass. Final: Ne- raska 14, Stanford 7. By John Bentley. (Journal sports editor) Cornhusker fans around here are much too optimistic, but still Nebraska has a stouter club than most of those Stan ford has met this season. I'm looking for a Husker victory in the Rose Bowl New Year's day. Nebraska's reserve power should be the answer. The Huskers rate one touchdown better in my book. Let's say Nebraska by three touchdowns to two. By Don Kellogg. (Lincoln Star writer) Nebraska will beat Stanford IP the Huskers can control the ball as they did against Mis souri and Paul Christman. Stanford has a better offense than defense and Nebraska's defense compares to the best the Indians have seen this sea son. Nebraska still has a real good game coming up. This is it. After a wide open game, it'll be Nebraska three touch downs to two. By Tom Stidham. (Oklahoma coach) Nebraska will defeat Stan ford in the Rose Bowl. I might get in trouble by telling you this, but I believe Nebraska can control the ball. The Huskers have two excellent teams, one as good as the other, which can march down the field. Stanford can't score without the ball, altho they are danger ous when they have possession of it. I think Nebraska will win by three touchdowns to two. (There's an outsider for you). By Bob Miller. (DAILY sports writer) Nebraska is my choice first, last and always, but the score it rolls up depends on several things. If (always one of these) Nebraska plays the first half like it did against Indiana and a second half comparable to the one it tossed at Iowa State, it will win by 21-14. We can't sell Stanford short, however, with the plunging of Standlee and the field general ship of Albert. It will be a classic and one that will be re membered on the coast for years. . Br-. I SpoAiA 1 u Grantland Rice, or just plain "Old Granny" as Nebraskans are now calling him, got off on an other tangent in his Rportlight Wednesday. And as for the Corn huskers, he's still writing biting barbs about them. His latest stinging blow at the Huskors is that he prints com- lents "from both Sides' in dis cussing the forthcoming Stanford- t Nebraska Kose tsowl game, tsui his agents seem to be a trifle one sided in their viewpoints, that is, going overboard for Stanford. He makes one statement which is the gospel truth, however. Granny says, . . Nebraska wilj have to be at least two or three touchdowns better than the Husk ers were against Indiana, Okla- a coma, lowa or nusourgn. jft- In conclusion Granny writes, I 'S "There are no certainties in foot- J ball. I can give you Cornell and Dartmouth. Texas and Texas A. and M. But the general opin ion among old-time coaches out this way is that Stanford will have to slump and that Nebraska will have to reach new heights to make it an even battle." Good old Granny, always stick ing up for Nebraska. But, we must remember that Rice selected our Ed Weir as an all-time tackle on his mythical eleven a short time ago. He par ticularly praised Weir's work against Red Grange and the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. In this respect, he did all right to the Huskers or rather to Ed Weir. Tonight, the Huskers entrain for Thoenix, Ariz., before finally dropping in on the Blossom Basin. . . . For the past week, the Husk ers have been drilling on the snow scraped gridiron but the going has been plenty slippery. . . . m . 1 U h w jdM iennia snoos are wtirn iy uic Widders but headway hasn't been too profitable as the icy field pre vents good running by the Scout o Sot. & SurJavQ UtCEMBER 21 & 22 (mats si n jv Ii e-t from Ire ffondff Drlireomi.v VAUAOON TRIANON, Chief.r Q Adm. SAT. 65c t., Ta Paid O Husker cagcrs win 40-39 from Kentucky five Nebraska's basketball team sailed to new heights, Wednesday night, by turning back the strong traveling Kentucky five 40-39 on the coliseum floor. The Huskers, entering the bat tle in an underdog roll, played in spired ball all the way to nip the Colonels. For the final 10 minutes, the Huskers never had more than a three-point lead with the score 34-33 in their favor at that time in the game. With a minute and a half re maining, the Huskers went into a stalling game to keep the ball from the visitors. In the last 50 seconds, the Kcntuckian3 fouled four times and each time the Huskers took the ball out of bounds to control the sphere. Thompson stars. In the first half, it was Don Fitz with a dozen points that sparked the Scarlet to a 25-18 halftime lead. In the last half, it was Sid Held with seven counters to lead the scoring for the Husk ers. However, Johnny .Thompson, sophomore guard, played the whole game and cooled the Husk ers down when the going was the toughest. Valuable points were swished thru the nets by Charlie Vacanti, Les Livingston, John Fitzgibbon. Max Young, and Hart mann Goetze. For the visitors, it was All American Lee Huber with 8 points that sparked the Colonels. He left the game early in the second half on fouls. Marvin Akcrs also counted a like number of points for the Kentucky cause.

Wrestler shines in university meet despite loss of leg Don Jackson, arts and sciences sophomore from Bruning wrestled in the 165 pound division of the all-university wrestle held last week. This statement does not ap pear too uncommon but behind this there is something else. Jack son wrestled with a handicap, one leg to his opponents' two. Despite such a great handicap he came through and won the first match he was entered and was withdrawn at the last mo ment before his second match due to mat burns that he had received. This advantage as summed up by one of his fellow wrestlers is that "Don weighs 15 or 20 pounds less than he would with his leg but he has the strength of a Frosh footballers receive numerals Freshman Coach A.
