DAILY NEBRASKAN
mm
By Bob Miller
Congratulations Huskers.
Congratulations are definitely in
order for the Husker team that
wouldn't stay down. It's been a
tough year on both players and
fans alike and especially for the
players. . .Just ask any Husker
ridder and they will tell you that
it is no fun to be playing on a
losing ball club. . .The Huskers de
cided this several games ago and
since then they have redeemed
themselves in near full measure.
There is an old axiom of some
tort that says, "The good team
is the team that wins the close
ones." Against both Iowa U.
and Oklahoma have the Scarlet
clad gridders proven this one...
Nebraska 14, Iowa 13 and Ne
braska 7, Oklahoma 6... That
one point spelled the difference
between win and loss and it also
left the Huskers on a perch right
below Missouri, sharing second
place with the Oklahoma Soon
ers...Yes, five consecutive loss
es were a bitter pill to take but
when any team can rebound
with as much force as did the
Huskers in the last two contests,
they deserve some praise... At
any rate, Huskers, Nebraska
fans are still proud of you.
The Cage Sport.
Now that the grid season is
over, the coaching staff, Ed Lew-1
andowski in particular, is eyeing
the approaching cage season with
mors. ompSefte
Grid
increased zeal... This cage season
is destined to get under way, right
away with the South Dakota ag
gregation invading for the first
contest. . .Lew assures us that his
basketballers are going to turn in
an impressive season this year.
With the South Dakota tilt,
featuring Rube Hoy, the fidget
ing coach for the Sodaks, on the
slate for December 12, the 1941
42 season will b under way...
The December schedule, in addi
tion, has UCLA and Oregon at
home and Indiana, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Detroit !owa
away. . .That is prett . 'i filled
slate but should prov- m thing
..That one thing is ine strength
of the Huskers in comparison
with schools that boast of na
tional reputations in the cage
sport.
Jottings.
End Coach Paul Amen has
added to his belt length. Paul con
fided that he had gained a mere 20
pounds during the grid season. . .It
appears that the string of five
losses didn't cut down on his ap
petite... The entire football squad
will be adding weight now that the
season is over. . .There was a din
ner in their honor at Major Jones
last night. . .Tonight will be the
annual Quarterback's diner at the
University club at which time the
seniors will be honored... On
Thursday evening, the Omaha N
club will fete them to close out
the list for the week.
Look for the N letters to be
blossoming forth on the campus
within the next few weeks . . . Look
for the announcement of the East
West squads to be announced in
the next week with several Husk
ers on the West squad. . .Major
Jones will be leaving the middle of
this month for the west coast
where he will coach the West team
along with Babe Holingberry.

7-6 Verdict
At Expense
Of Sooners
Huskers Climb lo Second
Place in Big Six Ranking
By Defeating Oklahonians
Writing finis t " their separate
collegiate gridiron careers, seven
Husker gridders saw their alma
mater humble a strong Oklahoma
eleven, Saturday, by a 7-6 score
before some 22,000 surprised spec
tators. The seniors, George Abel, Vike
Francis, Fred Preston, Clarence
Herndon, Fred Meier, Bob Lud
wick and Kenny Simmons, with
one exception participated in the
contest that produced thrills until
the end. The one exception was
Simmons, who was withheld due to
a knee injury that has kept him
out of the last four games.
Two Juniors, Too.
While the seniors were turning
in standout ball playing, there
were two juniors that stole the
scoring spotlight. Wayne Blue,
showing an inherent love of the
wide open spaces, romped 68 yards
with an intercepted pass to even
the score.
He headed down the east side
lines with the pigskin after nipping
off a pass from Jack Jacobs, Soon
er Indian flash. The other junior
that got a share of the scoring
was Vic Schleich. He showed up
the toutted Haberlein of the Okla
homans by making good his at
tempted placement, to send the
Huskers into a one point iead
which they never relinquished.
The scoring of the game waa
done in the first and second quar
ters with the Sooners tallying first
Coming into possession of Nebras
ka's 42 yard line, the Sooners in
nine plays were down oh the
Husker three . . . From Vint MrAr
Junior Golding cavorted over for
ine miuai score. Jack Haberlein,
a place kicker deluxe missed the
attempted conversion.
Haberlein Fails.
A word about Haberlein. He has
done all of the Oklahoma convert
ing duties all season, and in 30
attempts prior to Saturday, had
completed 23. He had also turned
in three field goals and was given
the title of best place kicker in the
conference.
Saturday was different as he
missed his point after touchdown
and also three field goals. The
Oklahoma team as a whole showed
an unusual amount of speed with
Orville Mathews, speedy quarter
back leading the way.
Season Is Over.
The season is over for the trnair.
ers and four wins coupled with five
losses nave been written on the
record books. Hopes for next
year's team are hiirh. hnwever
with only seven seniors gone con
trasted with the thirteen that left
the ranks last season.
A good beginning with a strong
finish," was the way that Major
Jones summed up a 1541 season.
