tfrics&ay, OdoBer 20. 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN 3 ! By Norrls Anderson ;', (Sports Editor) Stroking back through bygone athletic history, we've ar rived at the conclusion that the most over-worked word in the sport scribe's vocabulary is "jinx." Professor Webster's New International dictionary touches lightly on "jinx," cutting it to "hoodoo" and referring the reader to "jynx." The last word is termed by the unabridged volume as "a genus of Woodpeckers, consisting of wry necks. It constitutes of a sub-family." We have full reference here to the wholesale hoodoo Notre Dame's grid teams have exercised over clubs tutord by Bernie Bierman. Said hoodoo reached an absolute maximum at South Bend Saturday when the Irish thumped the Bierman-tutored Seahawks, 28-0. Those once-beaten, once-tied Irish raised enough hell trouncing the Seahawks to make the devil drop his pitchfork. Trior to the Irish joust, the Seahawks on successive Saturday's had conquered three of the nation's top teams. Kansas fell in the opener, 61-0; then Northwestern dropped, 20-13; Minne sota. 7-6 : and Michigan, 26-H. An exact explanation of the Seahawk whipping provokes deep thought. Maybe the Irish were scrapping for their con valescent coach, Frank Leahy, who lies dangerously ill at Mayo Brothers. Tossibly their potent attack simply couldn't remain botled in confusion any longer. Whatever the matter may be, the game's outcome drove many a sports predicter to bottled iov. Fans who figured Bernie Bierman had lost a crew of his gridmen through graduation are wrong. Same Seahawk eleven started against Notre Dame as farced Michigan a week pre vious. Ire of the Bierman team should be burning full force by Nov. 21, date of the Husker-Seahawk match at Iowa City. From arears of the glass windows atop west Memorial Stadium Saturday came several post-game murmurs. In effect: 1 That the. Iluskers bloekine. thoueh still not sharp enough, overshadowed the showing against Indiana. 2. That Dale Bradley, the gallant little halfback, has . definitely returned to form. His do-or-die galloping and his kicking were reminescent of the Bradley of old. 3. That Nebraska can be respected as a defensive club. When the Minnesota line can be matched (absence of Wildung granted), the "matchee" line must have something. 4. That the Iluskers must cure themselves of the skittery errors which undo so many good points. Time1 and again a fumble or missed block would follow a brilliant play. This story is so unusual we hesitate to release it without a pending copyright, and police escort. So we'll say for now that it constitutes merely an idle rumor. Our scoop deals with the prospective joust between the Cornhusker and Rag staffs. A series of "frazzle-dazzle" sallies last year carried the doughty Rag staff to a 46-0 victory in the annual classic. But this year may be different. Alice "Bombshell" Becker, mentor of the "yelping year bookies," has champing on the bit, one of the greatest series of performers ever congregated. There's the great defensive halfback, "Slap 'em" Browne; the great offensive halfback, "Wolf" McBride; also "Goliath" Walcott. Then we have "Dutchy" Detweiler, "Pepping" Polly Petty, and the Busch leaguer, Sal triple-sex back trio.

Outside competition saw Minne sota topping Nebraska, 15-2, and Iowa State tripping Drake, 29-6. Last week's action saw every Big six team lose Cyclones Set For Mizzou Go AMES, Iowa, Oct. 19. Iowa State, after two weeks of free lancing outside of the conference, returns to Big Six competition this week, meeting the loop champions the University of Missouri, at Columbia. The game will give Mike Michal ske, head coach at Iowa State since last Wednesday, his first look at his new conference. Michalske was at Madison, Wis., scouting Mar quette when the Cyclones played Nebraska at Lincoln. At present the Cyclones are in a three-way tie for fourth place in the conference. Since three teams are tied for first and three for the next spot, the winners Saturday will greatly widen the gap between the first and second division. Other Big Six games scheduled for this week include Kansas at Kansas State and Nebraska at Oklahoma. Enrolment . . (Continued from Page 1). must, stndv tihvsics.

Betas Defeat FH Team, 6-0 Ernie Smether's 30 yard run' back of an intercepted pass was all that the Beta's could do yester day in downing a stubborn Farm House team 6-0. Farm House, altho they threatened to score, put up the strongest defense that the Betas have faced so far this season. Bill Arnot, Beta star, was time after time stopped by the "O" street men. Big noises in the Farm House attack were again Bob Minthorne and Johnny Fitzgibbon. By virtue of this victory, the Betas took over the first spot in league four.

EiscnhartBack With Huskers Husker first and second teams drilled intensively yesterday in a dressing up" drill. Mentor Glen Presnell cited that Oklahoma was on the march and Husker errors, as were aired against the Gophers, might lead to defeat. Team members who did not see service against the Gophers were pitted against the frosh in a short scrimmage. Every gridder took part in timing, running, blocking, nd polishing new plays. No changes were Indicated In the Husker lineup. Ki Eisenhart, withheld from the Gopher and In- iana games to favor his bad leg, will be ready for the Sooners. Return of the big fullback should strengthen the Husker backfield. Presnell had to recruit Wayne Stranathan, the guard tackle handy man, to spell Walty Hopp Saturday. Sooners Return Home for Tilt With Nebraska Norman, Okla., Oct. 19. "Home Sweet Home" was the number one song on the Oklahoma Sooner hit parade as the much improved Sooner football squad returned home Sunday winding up their fourth consecutive week end f travel. The rejuvenated Oklahomans play host to the Nebraska Corn- huskers Saturday in the iirst nome game offered to the followers of the red and white- Sooner backers feel certain that their favorites have a chance to upset their Big Six rivals from the corn land. After losing to Tulsa and Texas, Oklahoma finally hit the win column last Saturday by easily defeating the hapless Jayhawkers of Kansas 25-0. Coach Snorter Luster's men Im proved noticeably in last week's encounter. Tne sooners DiocKea well for their passers, kicked wisely, and picked up 126 yards on returns of Kansas punts. Kay Evans, Kansas' great passer, was also stopped. Althouc'h Oklahoma has only defeated the Huskers three times during the last 20 years, the Lus termen feel that they have im nroved enoueh during: the road trips to furnish the Nebraskans with some fireworks. Mizzou will Face Crippled Wildcats MANHATTAN, Kas., Oct. 19. The Missouri tussle might turn out to be a more costly defeat for the Kansas State Wilcats than was expected. When the Wildcats reported for the opening workouts in prepara tion for their traditional game with the Unlveiilty of Kansas four regulars were missing. Kansas State's two starting guards Robert Neil and Edgar McNeil were sent back to the hospital Sunday. Neil is troubled with a throat Infection while McNeil reported stomach trouble. Ned Rokey, who injured his back, and Jim Watkins, who hurt an ankle, are also on the doubtful list for Saturday's game. Reported in better shape were center Bill Erickson, who missed the Missouri game because of a sore back, tackles Larry Duncan, Earl Hunter and fullback Charley Kier. engineer insignia by which they may be distinguished from other military group members.
