We speak naturally of the manner Pitt triumphed over Nebraska with 15 seconds left here last year. Prior to the spe cial delivery, the score stood. 7 to 7. Seven minutes had elapsed during the fourth canto and the Huskers led, 7 to 0, via a bit of ball-toting: wizardry by Dale Bradley. A 72 yard march downfield in the second quarter accounted for the Huskor marker. A chilled crowd started filing from the stadium midway in the fourth period before the Panthers had even threatened. Why linger longer? Those Huskers were push ing the Panthers all over the field. Stauncher members of the crowd wished later they hadn't stayed to witness the delivery of Mr. Jones' heart-breaking tele gram. To add insult to injury, Jones even speaved a last -second Howard Debus pass and galloped to the Ilusker 4-yard stripe as the gun sounded. "Jf there's going to be any deliveries made Saturday," we'll handle 'cm ourselves," commented one Ilusker at the station. We could vision the countenance of our pecuniary expert, John Selleck, when he gazed over the menu at the hotel where the Huskers quartered last eve in Chicago. Breakfast bill (per head) amounted to $1.25, luncheon was worth and dinner came to $4. Mr. Selleck 's new position as university finance secretary kept him from taking the jaunt. Bill Pficff put his frosh gridslers through a lengthy scrim mage session yesterday. Some 50 of the city's grid enthusiasts climbed to the battle scene to sec what they could sec. Fans sighted to 1943 prospects and had occasion to gloat more than once. They saw such backfield talent as Wayne's Kessler, Jimmy Myers, the York all-stater, and big Gene Boeh mer of Lincoln high exhibit their wares. Frosh line candidates arc a brawny group. Ends Jack Tcsek and Carl Samue.lson, tip the scales over 200 lbs., and their heft is somewhat a reflection of the beef on the hoof in these parts. A new grid predictcr loomed across yon horizon yesterday. This predictcr, without drinking a drop of you know what, chose Indiana to trip Kansas State by some 00-odd points. Jeannie Browne, " 'Tnroht Browne's daughter, is our new ace. Follow her efforts elsewhere in our prediction box and then place your bets. You'll be a cinch for two outlooks: 1. Life in a poorhouse; 2. Life in a nut house. Breakway Ace Finally Found At Oklahoma NORMAN, Okla. Nov. 12. As Oklahoma conies up to her cli mactic Missouri test here Satur day, Coach Dewey "Snorter" Lus ter may have found that which the Sooners have needed so des perately all season, a fast break away back. The lad's name is Leroy ' Train Whistle" Neher, crazy-legged lit tle sophomore wingback from Al tus, Okla., and before the Kansas State game last week, he had been running the britches off the fresh men all week trying to convince the coaches he could tote the melon." Own Play-Maker. A surprisingly competent defen sive back for a sophomore, Neher might now be playing regularly for the Sooners if he didn't have the disastrous habit of making up his own plays. Fast and shifty, he is also the most unpredictable back on the Sooner squad. Carrying the ball for the first time in his varsity career two weeks ago against Iowa State, Neher nearly scored on a reverse, tearing off Oklahoma's longest run from scrimmage, a fast, giddy gallop of 29 yards during which it seemed Neher was hit 29 times by Cyclone tacklcrs, none of whom ever got him down. Hits Own Tackle. But Neher ruined his touchdown chance by running over the last man between him and the Ames goal, ponderous Chris Lambert, his own right tackle. Neher tried to fake the burly Lambert out of his path as he had brilliantly faked the Iowa Staters, and might have succeeded had he not changed his mind the last min ute and with characteristic reck lessness turned the fake into a double fake, a fatal maneuver that pulled the confused Sooner tackle back into his route, spilling both. Evans Causes Cyclone Worry AMES, Iowa, Nov. 12 "Stop Evans!" will continue to be the battle cry right Etraight through the week for the Cyclones of Iowa State. "We'll spend nearly all our time on ways and means of stop ping Ray Evans," Coach Mike Michalske announced yesterday. "We can't expect to bottle up Kansas f Evans is connecting, so we've got to figure out some means of breaking up his passes." Kansas has completed almost every other pass thrown this year and Evans has done 95 percent of the hurling. Before last week's game against Washington the Jayhawks ranked seventh in the nation in passing efficiency and ESTATE Alwayi 25c Comedy and Snprnfl x .loniDnnD .TIIE (,-oRI-St VANISHES ' Kl NKAV!
