Injury Jinx
Finally Halted
. . . Regulars Hack
Nebraska's varsitv erid eleven.
beaten five times in the last five
starts, has finally overcome the in
jury bugaboo.
The Husker team will be at full
strength against Iowa U. here
Saturday when Allen Zikmund,
lujured in the Minnesota game,
and Herb von Goetz, incapacitated
since the Indiana fray, return to
active duty.
Zikmund Adds Speed.
Zikmund's return to the Husker
backfield should add speed to the
Husker running attack. The Ord
blond's defensive work also missed
Saturday against Pitt. Von Goetz,
who adds weight to the line, looked
like a definite comer in the early
frays.
Wayne Sindt, Naponee halfback
received the only Husker injury
in the Pitt game. Sindt, who had
the top backfield rushing average,
bruised his side but should be
active against the Iowans.
The University of North Caro
lina, although an institution of the
state, did not receive state appro
priations for nearly 100 years after
its founding.

By Bob Miller
Not since 1658 or some year
equally remote has a football crop
shown greater possibilities and
less actualities than the Huskers,
1941 vintage, have exhibited....
There must be a reason for this
and we have endeavored to figure
it out.... Five losses in a row!
Ouch, that begins to hurt every
one concerned and we have de
veloped our theory to explain it.
When a team loses five straight
games there is going to be the in
variable statement, "It must be
the coach." Right here we would
like to nip this in the bud as
quickly as possible.. . .We have
been on hand at all but a very
few of the practice sessions this
fall and consequently we have
been able to see what has been
happening Injuries, ineligibles,
tough breaks have all conspired to
send them down the losing trail.
... It has not been any lack of
coaching skill, experience or any
thing connected with the coaching
staff and the sooner that all of
this talk blows over the better it
will be Jones has turned in
some good football teams at the
Husker institution.
Consider the Record.
In 1937, the Biffer's first year
here, he started with a bang by
defeating a vaunted Minnesota
team, 14-9.. . .Other wins that first
season were turned in at the ex
pense of Iowa State, Missouri, In
diana, Iowa U., and Kansas State
. . .The only loss was to Pittsburgh
OH to Bed...
Vfv.. .
5nl JHH n
XV V m if WV Bat . t VI I
J uJllAiyuf 111
and two other contests against
Kansas U. and Oklahoma ended in
ties.... That was his first year
here.
The next season started off with
a loss to Minnesota and at that
time, the sports writers taiew that
there would be a poor season due
to the loss of such a number of the
preceding year's seniors The
sophomores did their best but
ended up with only three marks in
the win column as opposed to five
in the loss section with one tie. . . .
In 1939, the juniors showed that
their sophomore year had taught
them a lot as they steamed
through for seven wins, one loss
and one tie.... The loss was to
Missouri and the tie with Indiana.
. Three were wins over Minne
sota and Pittsburgh in the seven.
.No one said anything about the
coach then.
Last year was the same with
eight wins and one loss credited to
the Huskers.... A bowl bid was in
the offing also when the 1932
sophomore team were seniors.. . .
This year comes another sopho
more team into the line-up. . .They
are having reverses but are show
ing the kind of stuff that leads to
bowl bids.... They have to have
the right kind of support however
or this cannot be accomplished..
If all of the knockers would think
of one thing they would be all
right.... 'It takes a lot to back a
losing team because anyone can
support a winner.'
Experience Counts.
Another factor that contributes
to the losses besides having a lot
of inexperience in the ranks is the
injury jinx.... Not for a long time
has a Husker team been riddled
with so many injuries. . . . Kathol
with his broken leg, Zikmund with
an injured kidney, von Goetz with
a collapsed lung, Ludwick with a
bad ankle along with Athey, Hern
don out for a time with a shoulder
and leg injury, Simmons out with
a broken cheek bone and then
with a torn knee-joint, Abel was
limping for two contests. . . Tike
Francis becoming ineligible didn't
help the cause any besides. . . ,
With all these things taken into
consideration, they have been put
ting out to the best of their ability
and have sacrificed in an attempt
to put a winning team on the field
. . .Nobody can ask for more.
Iowa Comes
Forth at Full
Strength Here
... Saturday
Immediately following the face-
off with Pitt, Nebraska began to
make plans for the tussle on tap
in Memorial Stadium next Satur
day when Iowa university's Hawk
eyes come here to do battle with
the Huskers.
Getting off to a slow start, the
Hawkeyes in the last two weeks
have come to life, coming to life
in the last half of their game with
Indiana's Hoosiers to take a 13-7
decision. Last weekend, the boys
from Iowa City soundly thumped
their Big Ten conference opponent
Illinois, to the tune of 21-0.
Farmer Shows Off.
Main sparkplug in the Hawk
revival to date has been Junior
Halfback Tom Farmer who fig
ured in all 21 of the points chalked
up against the Illinoi team. Pitch
ing two scoring aerials to Junior
End Bill Parker, Farmer scored
the last touchdown on a short
smash after setting the pins with
a 36 yard sprint, adding each of
the point after touchdown to his
scoring total by placements.
An understudy of Nile Kmnick,
1939 wonder-boy, Farmer is
flanked in the backfield by such
standouts as Senior fullback Bill
Green, and Quarterback Al Coup'
pee, who both saw service with
the '39 squad.
Senors Have Memories.
Other seniors who carried over
from the great team Coach Eddie
Anderson fielded two autumns ago
include three 200 pounders: Tack
les Jim Walker and Bob Otto, and
Center-Captain Bill Diehl, who al
ternates with Senior George Frye
at the pivot post.
The magic of Anderson, as uius-
