In Big Six
With the Cornhuskers idle over
this week end, all eyes in the Big
Six conference are turned to the
Missouri-Oklahoma game this Sat
urday at Columbia, Missouri. This
game will undoubtedly be the game
deciding the conference champion
ship, and both teams are prepares
to shoot the moon.
Although through its previous
record, the Tigers are doped to
win the game, several sports
writers are picking the Sooners to
spill the vaunted Missouri boys in
an upset. No doubt the return of
Charley Heard, who was injured
early in the season, to the Okie
lineup has swung some of the pie
dictions over in favor of the Soon
ers. Heard, a light but speedy
back, is a past master on lugging
the ball, and is considered one of
the finest open field runners in the
Southwest.
Hawkeyes Next
The Iowa Hawkeyes. next week
opponents of the Huskers here in
Lincoln, meet the once mighty
Gophers of Minnesota at Minne
apolis this Saturday, and although
not favored to win, the Hawkeyes
will undoubtedly give the Minne
sotans a real battle.
Coach Ad Lewandowski should
be able to give his Husker Bquad
a thorough overhauling this week,
and next in preparation for the
coming Iowa tilt. Most of this
week was spent in running over
offense and particularly on map
ping out new plans and plays as
a special "T" party for Coach
"Slip" Madigan and company. The
Scarlet was also run mrougn con
tact scrimmages the latter part of
the week, and the coaching staff
seemed pleased with results. The
almost completely revised oacn
field received plenty of time to
brush up on plays and timing, and
should be functioning in top form
by the time that the Iowa game
rolls around.
Purdue Idle Teo.
Another team with a lay over
schedule this week is Purdue. Tied
with Michigan for the Big Ten con
ference race, the Boilermakers
should have plenty of time to rest
ud and d re oa re for the final
stretch run for the championship
while Michigan, although playing
a Hapless Wisconsin, will be busy
Snow-Bouhd
Gophers Prep
Iowa Game
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 10.
Deep wiow, covering the stadium
and practice fields, seems likely
to keep the Minnesota football
team inside the Field House for
practice during the entire period
remaining for preparation for the
annual game against their long
standing rival, the Iowa Hawk
eyes this week end.
Handicapped by the abnormal
practice conditions, Minnesota has
been further hurt by the loss of
its first substitute fullback. Brick
Waldron, who suffered a broken
leg in the Purdue game. Against
the possibility that Hoyt Moncrief
or freshman Loren Palmer might
also be injured. Dr. George Hau
ser is drilling Dick Heeb, another
freshman, as a fullback replace
ment Heeb has been less neces
sary at left halfback since fresh
man Tom Cates of St. Paul has
begun to show such excellent per
formance at that position.
Loss of Bill Gamaas has be
come keenly felt, not so much be
cause Bill Peterson did not play
excellently at quarter, but because
it reduces by a very large "one"
the number of men available for
that strenuous position. Had Pe
terson been in the game as a fresh
replacement rather than a tired
performer when he made his bad
kick against Purdue, the ball
might have gone. into safe terri
tory and a tie instead of a loss
would have been the outcome for
Minnesota.
Never before hare - Minnesota
and Iowa played a game when
both team were a low In the
standings as are those of 1943.

Iowa Fullback
this coming Saturday.
Because of having played and
won five games, against Micni-
gan's four wins, the Boilermakers
have a slight edge on the vvolver
ines for conference, honors, but if
things turn out as. Dlanned. the
Michigan boys ougpt to be tied
up tight with the Purdue men. The
Hoosiers of Indiana, who were
knocked out of the race last week
by Michigan, 'will probably be
playing a second to Northwestern
for third place, with Illinois bring
ing up fourth place.
Irish vs. Wildcats.
This Saturday, the Wildcats of
Northwestern will be playing the
praise-sung Irish of Notre Dame,
who are a little more than slightly
Tavored to take the fray. The game
will be the choice of the week,
with Coach Waldorf's Wildcats
trying to claw the Irish down
from their number one in the na
tion spot. However, if Frank
Leahy's boys perform like they
have all season, the Irish should
whip the Northwestern Purple at
par.
Getting back to the Iowa-Minnesota
game. Slip Madigan and his
civilians should give the Gophers
a rough time of it, since the
Gophers have lost several stellar
men in the past week or so. Led
by Bill Barbour, a double threat
end, who can placekick as well as
snare passes, the Iowans, boasting
a fine backfield, headed by Bill
Gallagher, may upset the dope
bucket, and climb up the Big Ten
ladder a notch. This, however, will
give Coach Ad Lewandowski a
chance to compare his club to the
Iowans, and plan accordingly, as
by comparing the games, on the
basis of the Nebraska-Minnesota
game.

Pickings
BY BOB LIENERT.
Shortage of space forced the
cancellation of this column the last
several weeks, but you can't keep
us down forever, so we're at it
again.
For some mysterious reason, our
predictions always turn out best
when they're not published, but
here we are anyway, sticking our
neck way, way out in trying to
pick a few of Saturday's games.
Minnesota over Iowa: After
dropping two, Minnesota comes
back in the win column.
Seahawks over Camp Grant:
Once more, the Navy does it to the
Soldiers.
Illinois over Ohio State: An
other of our hunches which
usually go wrong.
Great Lakes over Indiana: But
hesitantly!
Michigan over Wisconsin: With
absolutely no misgivings.
Notre Dame over Northwestern:
Up goes our average. I
Missouri over Oklahoma: Three
cheers for the Big Six champs.
Penn over North Carolina; Just
too much strength for the Tar

Penn State over Temple J The
Nittany Lions growl once more.
Georgia Tech over Tulane: The
Yellow-jackets are good for our

sided score.

ning for a Bowl bid, and isn't go
ing to let T.C.U. stand in the way.
Texas A. A. M. over Rice: No
reason to pick otherwise.
California over U.C.L.A.: As far
as we're concerned the U clans rank
at the bottom of the coastal heap.

Well, we are plenty glad to see
that such high enthusiasm has
been built up lately, in inter-mural
sports. The men's intermural foot
ball tournament turned out to be
a lulu, with plenty of exciting
games, and interested fans.
At the beginning of the year, the
possibility of dropping intermurals
was discussed, but it was decided
to arrange a schedule and see how
things worked out. Well, there can
be no doubt now, that war or no
war, intermurals will work out,
and be well received. And. that is
the way that it should be. It is
hard enough to maintain a cam
pus attitude, if I may call it that,
in war. and these activities go a
long way toward keeping that
school spirit alive over these rough
waters.
Intermurals should be continued
and kept alive no matter what, as
it gives the student a chance to
get closer to the other fellow,
when closeness means so much.
A great deal of credit goes to
the University Athletic Board,
Coach Ad Leewndoski. the coach
ing staff, and Gordon, Ehelers, who
though busy as they are, devote a

lot of their time in directing and
planning these activities. Also, the
W.A.A. deserves a great deal of
credit for the part that it has
played in maintaining a schedule
of activities for the girls, who now,
not counting the army, outnumber
the boys by plemy.
1 Let's keep the good work up,
and see if we can't keep things as
they were before the war, so that
when the soldiers return to the
campus, things will be rolling
right along as they were before
they left.
A new plan of activities has
been introduced by the Intermural
office, and will start in a few days.
Word came in from Gordon Ele
hr?s. something to this effect.
With the football season con
cluded ,the intermural program
qalls for indoor sports to begin
within the next few days. A meet
ing of all fraternity intermural di
rectors will be held this week to
work out a schedule suitable to
all. 1 am sure that the winter pro
gram will call for a variety of ac
tivities with basketball as the
chief attraction. I will have a list
of the standins according to the
points with the next few days.
