played all season, Nebraska surprised a Homecoming crowd
with a 27 to 13 triumph over Kansas university. The Husk
ers piesented a smooth-functioning attack, scoring twice on
long runs, which indicated that Potsy Clark has succeeded
in his efforts to bring more speed into the Nebraska back
field. It was Cletus Fischer, former St. Edward six man
player, who scored first for the Cornhuskers, sprinting 69
yards to pay dirt with three minutes left in the first quarter.
Fischer "was seen earlier this year at the center spot, but the

plenty of service in the Huskers'
three remaining games.

Jayhawk line and raced 62 yards
to score. As he entered the KU
line he fumbled, but picked up
the ball and with good blocking,
sailed down the west sideline to
score.
Nebraska scored again in the
first half when Gerry Moore drove
