Wednesday, December 3, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN mm By liob Miller Echoes Are Dying. With the exception of a few games that will be played this week and the bowl games that will be played on the lirst day of the new year, the 1941 session of grid iron wars is now past history . . . Looking back, it has been a rather disastrous one for many teams, Nebraska included in the lot . . . There are fewer teams on the elite roll of the undefeated this year than in many years previous. Gophers on Top. Topping the list of the unde feated and untied is Minesota, na tional champions . . . The Gophers were picked by every system as the top team in the nation and boast a record that consists of eight wins with nary a loss . . . Also on the list of major teams with the same record are Duke Duquesne and Notre Dame, a tie mars the Irish record, and these teams have proven that they are national leaders . . . Midland and Kearney, both Nebraska colleges, were listed with the previous teams for neither team has bowed in defeat. Thompson at End. Speaking of the Gophers, the Minnesota aggregation paid a high tribute to a Husker lineman at the end of their season . . . Marvin Thompson, 171 pound end, was the player ... In the Gopher contest, Marv stood out with his precision tackling which was good enough to be pointed out by most of the Minneapolis papers following th game . . . Bernie Bierman singled Thompson and Wayne Blue out as the individual standouts of the day ... As is the custom at the end of the season, the Minnesota team goes into a huddle and out of the huddle comes an all-opposition team ... At the end spot was Marv Thompson and at the other wing was Bob Motl of Northwest ern . . . Quite an honor considering it was his first start of the sea son. Remember Him? George Sauer, former All-Amer-ican fullback at Nebraska and now a coach at New Hampshire, was accorded a place on the All star East-West A team, a team that was composed of the best players to perform in the Cali fornia classic for all time . . . The team was chosen by the members of the northern California foot ball writers association . . . Sauer was a member of the 1934 team and was the standout in that year. Lack of Color. Major Jones hit the nail on tho head when he said that the Rose Bowl game between Oregon State and Duke would not be as notable as it might have been had the Oregon school chosen Missouri... The midwest far surpasses the east in color and on top of that the Duke coach, Wallace Wade is definitely not liked on the west ATTEND LINCOLN'S LEADING THEATRES! Now Showin!

His Alabama team was not the right team for the Bowl game back in 1931 and Wade bore the brunt of the sports scribes' attack ... He took (Juite a beat ing and for that reason has been berided ever since ... It seems that after he had shipped his team into the California district somo days before the game, and the western scribes were all primed for fireworks in the shape of scrimmage and so forth . . . The fireworks failed to come and all that Wade could do was let his team stretch their muscles . . . This gave the scribes a starting point that terminated in Wade's riding at their hands. Another opponent team has come out from Iowa State with five Tigers, three Huskers and one Oklahoma, Kansas and Kansas State player . . . The three Ne braskans that were named include Preston at end, Abel at guard and Zikmund in the backfield . . .What surprises me is that Dale Bradley, the All Big Six Husker, was not included . . . Dale accounted for both touchdowns against the Cy clones and did plenty of broken field running against them. A. P. Ratings. The A. P. final grid ranking for the year are as follows: Minnesota, first; Duke, second; Notre Dame, third; Texas U., fourth; Michigan, fifth; Fordham, sixth; Missouri, seventh; Duquesne, eighth; Texas A. & M., ninth; Navy, tenth . . . With the exception of placing Michigan before Texas and Mis souri before Fordham, these were our sentiments too.

Coach Don Faurot's Tigers from Columbia, running true to pre season doping, were undefeated in their five conference games and won the Big Six crown for the second time in three years. Oklahoma Starts First. Oklahoma won their first three conference game, defeating Kansas U., Kansas State, and Iowa State, and finished the season by taking a sound thumping from Missouri and dropping a one point decision to the Huskers. Getting off to a good start, Ne braska opened their Big Six com petition by beating Iowa State and K. U. on successive Saturdays, followed by two point losses to Missouri and Kansas State, and wound up their season with a win over Oklahoma. K. U. in Third. Playing good ball on alternate Saturdays, K. U. dropped their first, third and fifth conference games to Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri, and took decisive thump ings in all three. In their second game, the Jayhawks outpointed Iowa State and bounced back from a drubbing at the hands of the Sooners to beat Kansas State and provided the biggest conference upset of the season in their fourth game.
