Stealthily, discreetly did we corner the tiny newsboy who
shouts his wares at 13th and 0. "Minnesota by two touch
downs" he booms in answer to our quiry.
One of the gum-chewing: coeds who inhabit the grill parts
"her painted lips and issues her prediction: "Gee, but those big:
Swedes have broad shoulders." Scribe Walt Dobbins of the
Journal sees it from the professisonal point of view: "Nebras
ka must develop on offense to cope with the Gophers. If we
can't get through their line, we'll have to do it by air."
There you have it from newsboy to flapper to sport scribe
to you. "
Remindful of the Arkansas U. scribbler whose head was
shaved as a consequence for tabbing a Razorback loss, we're re
fraining from issuing any sort of forecast.
Not Seabiscuit nor War Admiral could hope to win first
money under the handicap that the Hnskers will tote into bat
tle. First, there's the lame shoulder of iron-man quarter, Fred
Metheny. Second, we have the pulled muscle in Fullback Ki
Eisenhart's left leg.
Maestro Glen Prcsncll has a pre-game decision to make
that is two-fold: 1. Further Nebraska hopes of victory against
the-Oophers by using Metheny and Kisenhart. 2. Give Me
theny and Kisenhart anolher week of rest and assure their su
perior condition for the Oklahoma Sooners.
Since the start of llusker-Gopher rivalry in 1900, Nebras
kas teams have "pointed" for these northerners. ITuskcr fans
still recall the eventful 1037 game. Minnesota came into town
riding a 20-odd win streak to meet the lluskers, tutored by a
new coach and manned with green backfield talent.
How these doughty lluskers, playing their hearts out,
downed the supposedly unconquerable Gophers, 13-9, is unfor
gettable. Only regular-season setback suffered by the 1940 Rose
liowl team was to Minnesota in the season inaugural, 7-0. De
spite a huge disadvantage in weight and experience, the 1941
Scarlet and Cream held the Minnesotans to a 9-0 decision.
Gopher scout, Bud Wilkinson, -who tagged Ilusker play
against Indiana, returned to the north lands with words of
warning for 1he Minnesota squad.

the Gophers. Frickey, a triple-threat spedster, boasts one of the top

will attest to Mr. Wildung's talent.
Tiny Herb Hein
Plays Top End
For Minnesota
Minneapolis, Oct. 14 Height 5
feet 11 inches, weight 175 pounds.
Those figures have followed the
name of Herb Hein, Minnesota
end, since the beginning of foot
ball practice this year, and at least
they don't overstate it.
Hein, who has already blocked
and tackled some of the biggest
and most rugged football players
in the country, has in fact been
represented as bigger than he
really is. His buddy, Herman
Frickey, tried to say that Hein

"Heck," says Frickey, "Herb
only weighed 135 pounds when we
played together in high school.
How could he have gained so
much weight?"
The next logical thing to do was
to make Hein step on the scale.
He was a little reluctant at first
but finally consented. The big
beam barely crawled up to 170
pounds and Herb turned a little
red.
"So you thought you could fool
us, eh Herb? Well, you couldn't
fool me, because I knew you didn't
weigh that much," Frickey
drawled.
Hein didn't say a word and

Frickey started in again. "But I'll

Sooners, Jays
Meet Saturday
LAWRENCE, Oct. 14 A battle
of lines is what Coach Henry of
the University of Kansas is ex
pecting Saturday in Memorial
stadium when his Jayhawks face
the Oklahoma Sooners in the
opening Big Six game of the sea'
son.
This may be an app rent con'
tradiction to the strength which
the Kansans have displayed this
fall but Henry has a ready answer,
'It is evident," he remarked,
"that the Sooners have a tough
and rugged line. For that reason,
along with others, we'll probably
have to rely on our passing game
to down Dewey Luster's team.
"But before we can win a game
we've got to hold the opponents
away from our goal line," Henry
continued, "and that's where our
line comes in for attention. If our
forward wall continues to show
improvement as it did in the Texas
Christian game, I think the fel
lows can stave off any Sooner
scoring threat. Then it's up to our
passing to score and I'm not wor
ried about that."
With this idea in mind Henry
has been emphasizing goal-line
stands in practice this week. War
ren Hodges, junior tackle who
played his best game of the season
against T. C. U., led the charge
of the linemen. Otto Schnell

snagged seven of Ray Evans'

Nutzman Leads
Phi Gam Team
To Third Win
With Ned Nutzman figuring in
every scoring play, the Phi Gams
added another victory to their
string by walloping the Kappa
Sig's 32 to 0.
The winners jumped into lead
during the first quarter when
Nutzman ran 45 yards to score.
The Fiji's scored once again be
fore the first period ended on a
Nutzman to Fritz Wolff pass.
The remaining touchdowns were
all scored on passes from Nutz
man to Andreson, Healy, Wolff.

Bukacek.
ATO 30, Sigma Chi 0.
Showing tremendous power, the
Alpha Tau Omega team turned
back a spirited Sigrma Chi aggre
gation 30 to 0.
Kenny Elson, who played the
last half, accounted for two of the
ATO counters. Elson scored one
touchdown himself and threw a
pass to Chick Zimmerrran for the
other.
Francis Hunt, ATO centei, had
a perfect day by booting; four
placements thru the uprights.
Xi Psi Phi 1, AGR 0.
The Xi Psi Phi's stayed in the
running for top honors in their
league by taking their third
straight victory of the season at
the expense of the AGR's 1 to 0.
After playing to a deadlock dur
ing the actual playing time, a.n
overtime period was installed with
the Zips gaining the most yards
from scrimmage for the win.
DU 17, Beta Sigma Psi 0.
After being held to two points
during the first half of the game,
the DU's came to life during the
last 16 minutes to hand the Beta
Sigs a 17 to 0 beating.
Delta Sigma Pi 7, Alpha Sigma 0.
Connecting on along pass during
the last minutes of the game, the
Delta Sigs pulled a game out of
the fire to edge out a 7 to 0 win
over a scrappy Alpha Sig team.

flanker from Walt Jeffries to
Kenny Ferguson to Walt Morrison
over the goal.
The Sig Nu's kept on even terms
with the Phi Gams for the top spot
in league one with a 6 to 0 win
