Friday, November 21, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN 3 Cornhuskers Destined to Have Hard Time In Big Six . . Final Rankings Are As Yet Undecided; Tigers Favored . Win Top Bunting By George Abbott. With only three games yet to be played in the conference, the final Big Six rankings are far from de finitely established, but the out come of tomorrow's games may find five of the teams In new positions; the outcome may or may not find Missouri the title winner. Should Kansas university's Jay hawks win over Missouri, Okla homa would automatically move up into a first place tie with the Tigers. If, however, the Tigers take the Kansans to a cleaning, which they are more likely to do, the boy from Missou' will be un disputed champs in Big Six Land. Always an 'If.' If Kansas State beats the Cy clones at Ames, and the Missouri game goes as predicted, the Iowars will have a cinch cellar positkn, which means that the standing at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon would read: first, Mis souri; second, Oklahoma; third, Nebraska; tied for fourth place, Kansas State and K U; and sixth, Iowa State.

Should Nebraska beat the Sooners in the Big Six finale that Saturday, the Huskers would move up to a second place with the Oklahomans. If, however, Okla homa beats Nebraska the Sooners would gain an undisputed second place position, while Kansas U and Kansas State would automatically move up into a three-way tie for third place with Nebraska. Still Not Final. Which all boils down to the fact that Big Six final rankings are far from established. Which means that this season's confer ence standings may see, instead of six rankings, only three. How? Like this If Missouri loses to KU, if Ne braska beats Oklahoma, and Kan sas State is defeated by the Cy clones, Missouri on this basis would have four wins and one loss for first place; Nebraska, Ok lahoma and Kansas U would each have three wins and two losses for a three-way second place tie; Iowa State and Kansas, with one win and four losses each, would be tied in fifth place. But we'll leave it like this a prediction that the final standings will read: Team w Missouri 5 Nebraska 3 Oklahoma 3 Kansas U 2 Kansas State 2 Iowa State 0 NIISPA- (Continued from Fage 1.)

Curran Lost As Iowa U Finishes-lip Hawkeyes Primed to End Season Willi Win; Have Chance for .500 Season IOWA CITY, la., Nov. 20. Loss of Guard Gene Curran thru an attack of boils was the main news here today as the Iowa Hawkeyes continued preparations for Saturday's joust with Ne braska. Curran, a regular mainstay since midway in the 1940 cam paign, has been Mentor Eddie An derson's starting left guard choice in every game this fall. 205 pound Del Dickerhoof will replace Cur ran against the Huskers. Green Injured. Another injured Hawkeye was Bill Green, offensive leader who was instrumental in the scare Iowa threw into the Rose Bowl Huskers at Lincoln last year. A hip injury kept Green from scrim mage yesterday and forced him to limit activity to a brisk jog around the track. If the hard-running Green is not ready by Satur day, Bill Strauss will mann the fullback position. Defense was the keynote of Thursday's workout. A scout eleven, dubbed the "Hamburger" team, tried Nebraska plays against varsity with a minimum of suc cess. Even Nile Kinnick, AH American halfback of 1939, had trouble penetrating the varsity pass defense. Intercepting or knocking Kin nick's tosses down, the Hawkeye secondary performers auguered trouble for Nebraska's heavers, Dale Bradley, Roy Long and How ard Debus. Reserves Checked. Mentor Eddie Anderson devoted considerable attention to reserve line performers. Tackles John Staak, a 225 pound sophomore and Bob Knowlton were the cen ter of attention, along with Guards Joe Byrd, Al Urban, and Bob Penaluna. Other line starters will be Jim Walker and. Bob Otto, tackles; Bill Diehal, center; Ross Ander son at the other guard slot; and Bill Parker and Bill Burkett. who intercepted a pass and ran 77 yards for a touchdown against the Huskers last year, at the ends.
