Now that the Big Six confer
ence race is officially underway,
our thoughts turned to the cham
- pions of former years. A study
of the records reveals that Ne
braska is far in front in the num
ber of championships, with nine
while Missouri and Oklahoma fol
low with three apiece. Kansas
and Kansas State each have won
the top spot once but Iowa State
has never been in front at the
close of a season.
All time standings back up the
Husker's supremacy, for Nebraska
has won 62 games and lost 17 in
17 years of conference for a per
centage of .765 which includes six
tie games which count as one
half win and one-half loss in the
Standings.
The overall record:
Won Lost Tied Pet.
Nebraska 62 17 6 .765
Oklahoma 51 26 S .647
Missouri 38 35 12 .518
Kansas State . . .31 48 6 .40
Kansas 26 52 6 .345
Iowa State 23 53 8 .321
A change in these standings
is possible this year, for Iowa
State will .probably move out of
the all-time cellar and push the
Kansas Jayhawks down to the
bottom, since the Cyclones are
potential champs this season.
Scoring in conference games is
on the increase, for in 1943 the
top three conference teams, Okla
homa, Iowa State and Missouri,
each scored over 100 points,
while from 1929 to and including
1935, '37, '38, and '39, no team
was able to rack up 100 points
in five conference games.
Missouri has the dubious Hs
tinrtion of being able to score only
two touchdowns in two years
of conference play. In 1933 and
'34. tlie Tieers finished at the
bottom of the standings with scor
ing records of seven points in
33 and six in '34.
One of the most unimpressive
scoring totals was produced by
Kansas State in 1935, when they
scored 15 roints in their five
games, an average of three points
per game, and managed to finish

nine, but the Huskers held and
took the ball on downs.
In the second period, Alex Fink
punted on the third down from
Nebraska s 21, but a holding pen
alty against the Scarlet while the
ball was in the air brought tne
ball back to the 24-yard line, the
spot where the infraction oc
curred. Two line plays took the
Sooners to the 15 where Hawkins
drove to the one-foot line. On
the next play he bulled over for
the score, with five minutes left
in tne half. Dick Short blocked
Bodenhamer's conversion attempt.
Hawkins spearheaded another
drive to Nebraska's 28, but two
passes failed to connect and again
tho Husker took over, as the half
ended.
Nebraska threatened for the
first time in the third quarter,
when Robinson passed to Bunker
for a first down on the Sooner 36,
but Venable intercepted another
Robinson pass two plays later Ut
thwart the advance.
Duplicating the first half break
away, Joe Richardson moved past
the Husker linemen for a 53-yard
run to the 11-yard line before
Robinson pushed him out of
bounds. However, a Sooner hold
ing penalty washed out the run
and Story intercepted a Steward
pass to enable Husker rooters to
breathe easily for a time.
But not for long. On the next j
play Stone intercepted Robinson s

in fourth place in the final stand
ings on the strength of one win
and two ties. The Wildcat de
fense was the deciding factor in
this performance, for the oppon
ents were held to 19 points.
However, in 1943, the K Staters
allowed their conference foes to
score 170 points, a record that
has not been surpassed, altho the
Wildcats threatened their own
mark last year when they gave
up 164 points.
Only twice have conference
teams kept their goal lines an
crossed in Big Six play. Nebras
ka introduced the stunt in 1936
under X. Bible and twe years later
Tom Stidham's Sooners duplicated
the feat.
Winding up this ramble thru
the record books, we find the
percentage of ,800 is the lowest
ever recorded by a conference
champion. In '29 the Cornhusk
ers turned the trick with a record
of three wins and two ties; the
following season the University
of Kansas won with a record
of four wins and one loss, and
in '37 Biff Jones' first team here
in Lincoln repeated the Nebraska
mark of '29 to gain the crown.
pass deep in- Nebraska territory
and Jack Venable carried three
tacklers across the goal as he got
loose from the 14 out of a single
wing formation. This time Boden
hamer's placement was perfect
and Oklahoma led, 13 to 0.
Fink and Fischer took over the
backfield burden for Nebraska
but were unable to pierce the
tough Oklahoma front line, and
Schreiner intercepted Fink's pass
on the Oklahoma 34. Gene Fres
ton. Sooner end from Dakota
City, Neb., grabbed a 37-yard toss
by Hawkins to move the ball once
more into scoring territory, but
Bob Tegt pounced on a loose ball
one the 5-yard line to give Ne
braska possession of the pigskin
with four minutes gone in the last
quarter.
At this point Robinson elected
to pass from behind his goal and
connected with Kinnamon on the
nine. Young drove to a first
dowin, Robinson passed to Korte
for another first and ten; two
more short passes were completed,
then Robinson lost five and forced
to punt to the Oklahoma 48.
Korte recovered Greenberg's
fumble, but the Huskers were un
able to capitalize on the break,
as two Robinson passes failed to
gain the necessary distance and
Kinnamon punted.

Oklahoma marked up three first
downs on three plays, as Sharp
and Hawkins broke loose for 36
and 15 yard sprints. Hawkins
scored the final Sooner marker
standing up, crossing from the
four yard line over Nebraska's
left side. Again Bodenhamer con
verted. The teams battled infecfually
in midfield until the game ended,
with more Robinson passes harry

As could be expected, fumbles
