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.

Paced by shifty Bob Steuber,
Missouri's powerhouse grid aggre

league last week by trouncing
Kansas State, 46-2.
It was the Tigers initial stand in
league competition. Oklahoma
tripped Kansas, 25-0, in the other
loop encounter.
Outside competition saw Minne
sota topping Nebraska, 15-2, and
Iowa State tripping Drake, 29-6.

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.

Best passer in United States
football according to statistics and
Kansas foes is Ray Evans, Jay-
hawk halfback. Evans has com
pleted half of a hundred tosses in
the four Jayhawk frays.
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.
Twenty ROTC

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

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

the Missouri game because of a
sore back, tackles Larry Duncan,
Earl Hunter and fullback Charley
