Poor Record
mm
By Hob Miller
Now that the second hurdle of
Nebraska's bumpy road to a Big
Six conference championship has
been passed and the dust has set
tled in the stands, we can look
over with a little less prejudice,
Saturday's success We were
never worried about the outcome
but it was in individual perform
ances that we were interested. . . .
When the Husker firsts were in
control, it was Dale Bradley and
Al Zikmund who were tearing up
the opposition's line with off
tackle slants for the former and
reverses occupying the latters
time.... When the second unit
tame into the fray there was no
appreciable lack of talent and skill
lacking....
Kenny Simmons was easily the
standout in this outfit.... On his
first try of the year he netted 42
yards and was loose for a touch,
had it not been for Niblo forc
ing him out... His performance
looks definitely second string
caliber and repeatedly while he
was in there he took off to ad
vance the pig skin far into Jay
hawk territory. . . .
Howard Debus turned in some
thing of a record performance....
In the times that he carried the
ball Saturday, not once did he
fumble as was the case the week
before.. . .Debus came up with a
sore back Monday morning. . . .
Wonder if it happened in the game
r afterwards. . . .
Wayne Blue showed up much
better than in the Iowa game and
he was making yards around end
much to the amazement of every
one concerned. . . . Fred Metheny
played his usual steady game that
was airtight whenever he handled
the ball....
The big surprise of the day came
when the third stringers were
turned into the field to graze....
And graze they did.... With Roy
Le-ng and Randall Salisbury
monopolizing the gaining activi
ties the thirds were but several
inches from a touchdown when the
game time ran out. . . .
There were several teconds left
after Salisbury had carried the
ball 12 of the 13 necessary yards
and all of the third team yelled for
a time-out but the official didn t
hear in time and the boys were
DIIESS Villi! BEST

the assurance that come rain,
mud, or what may, you have us
to return your clothes to their

Tliriec Heat on Indiana
Plots Husker Downfall
When Hoosiers Invuric
With two conference games out
of the way and chalked up in the
victory column, Major Jones and
his Husker footballers are concen
trating this week on finding the
nest and quickest way to roll over
Indiana in the Homecoming game
on tap next Saturday afternoon
in Memorial stadium.
To date, Colonel "Bo" McMillin's
gridders have played three games,
and lost three. The Hoosiers have
scored 27 points while their op
ponents were running up 53. They
have been neither thouroughly
beaten nor barely beaten in those
three losses.
Unknown Quantity.
In short, it looks like Colonel
"Bo's" Hoosiers are an unknown
quantity.
In their season opener against
Detroit, the boys from Indiana lost
14-7. Against a Notre Dame team

cheated out of another touch. . . .
Long's run of 35 yards including a
lateral to Bobby Cooper set up the
pins for the last touchdown of the
day with Cooper tallying from the
one on a quarterback sneak. . .This
was the first college game for all
of them and don't be surprised if
any or all of them crowd up the
ladder to the second team....
That about takes care of the of
fensive stars for the Huskers....
We missed Marvin Athey and Vike
Francis on the first team.. . .Their
play set up the touchdowns that
the first stringers made.. . .Athey
on a seven yard quarterback sneak
provided a play that has been
talked over many times since the
actual happening . . . The objection
was that Athey drove so fast that
the spectators couldn't see what
was happening until he was well
m the secondary.. . .Vike worked
well in the pinches and accounted
for the first marker. . . .
On defense, in the line, George
Abel played the best game, doubt
less taking his captain's responsi
bility to heart.... He shone on
secondary blocking.. . .Fred Meier
was playing heads-up ball as he
intercepted several passes and
broke through to nail runners..
Vic Schleich was on hand as was
Fred Preston when anything ex
ploded their direction. . . .
Gerry Kathol played above his
head on both offense and defense
to assure the Biffer he did the
right thing in letting Bob Lud
wick recuperate.. . .Chintz Hern
don played his usual brilliant
game. . . . For the seconds Marv
Thompson, Howard Kelly and
Lynn Myers was defensively the
best ... Forrest Bachman playing
his first game for the Huskers
went in with the thirds and sev
eral plays later nipped an in
tended pass in the bud and raced
back down the field 23 yards. . . .
At any rate, it's "Indiana,'' next.

Nebraska's Scarlet and Cream
forces surged to the front in the
Big Six grid race after downing
Kansas, 32-0 Saturday. With two
victories, the Huskers lead Mis

Last weekend, in a non-confer

edition took a well-deserved game
from the Hoosiers to the tune of

Pre-season picked as the Big
Ten's darkhorse team, Indiana, has,

last Saturday by romping over
Georgia Tech (20-0), Pittsburgh
(40-0), and Illinois (34-6), respec

Bo Uses Sophs.
To date this year, the colonel
has employed mostly sophomores;
it may be that these sophs wul
have found themselves by Satur
day with three games under their
belts, and since the beginning of
the Hoosier-Husker series, the
boys from Indiana have not yet
failed to provide an entertaining
afternoon for the Nebraskans.
In 1936-37, Nebraska won 13-9
and 7-0, respectively. In 1938 the
game ended in a scoreless tie, and
in 1939, this time the Huskers
barely came from behind to earn
a 7-7 tie.
In the fifth meeting of the se
ries, last year, Nebraska won 13-7,
which leaves the record to date
at three wins for Nebraska, two
ties, and only a 17 point margin
of difference between the winner-
loser totals.
And this year, it looks like
Colonel "Bo's" Hoosiers are still
an unknown quantity w h i c h

relief from the heat and excite
ment.
Two K. U. girls found new
heroes in Dale Bradley and Allen
ikmund, and sang the players
praises throughout the game, to
the consternation of their dates.
Blond, little Dorothy Nicholson,
the baton twirling, eye-catching
majorette of the Kansas band,
hoped that she would meet some
of the Nebraska players "because
they look so handsome from here,
Assured that she would be wel
comed by the team, she said, "well,
then I'm sorry our train leaves
at six perhaps we'll all come to
the Nebraska-K. State game ana
meet the Nebraska people there.
Her baton-twirling colleagues
commented upon the friendliness
of the students here, and espe
cially upon the co-operation of the
cheerleaders and the excellence of
the band. "Be sure to tell the Ne
braska students how much we ap
preciate the meeting at the, sta
tion. Tassels Corncobs ana sui
dents all did their best to make
us feel at home, and they cer
tainly succeeded," they added.
Bands play anthem
Half-time was highlighted by
the appearance of thirty-one high
school bands playing of the n&-
tional anthem under the direction
of Don Lentz. University of Ne
braska band director. Before the
game the colorful K. U. band
marched in the downtown area
followed by cheering Kansas dele

Impressive 18 to 0 victory to make

Pete Laydcn and Jack Crain, the

the biggest news on the intramural
front. There were 11 stars on the
Phi Gam team which is the win
ner of league four. No on man
stood out in the play for the vic
tors. It was all-around team-work
that gAve the Phi Gams the title.
Two closely fought battles fea
tured the other games in Friday's
league play. The S API's sqeezed
cut a hard-fought victory over
the DU's, last year's Jack Best
winners. The Sig Alphs scored a
touchdown in the third quarter to
take a 6-0 lead. The DU's caught
a SAP' carrier behind the white
stripe to get two points. The final
was 6 to 2.
Of the two minor sports now
being run off, golf has advanced
much farther than tennis. In the
semifinals of the upper bracket of
the golf pairings are the Sigma
Nus and Betas. The Phi Delts,
SAK and Theta Xi have reached
the quarterfinals in the lower
bracket. The first round match
between the DUs and Phi Gams
remains to be played.
The Kappa Sigs and ATOs have
advanced to the quarterfinal round
of tennis. All other matches are
still in the first round. Bill Homey
urges that all of these matches be
played as soon as possible so that
the tournament can be completed
before bad weather sets in.
