Nebraska's win over Kansas
boosted the Huskers in the esti
mation of the nation's sports ex
perts, for Paul Williamson, origi
nator of the Williamson Ratings,
places the Huskers 65th in the
nation and consigns the Jayhawks
to 68th position
Missouri and Oklahoma are
ranked ahead of Nebraska, the
Sooners taking: 14th place and the
Tigers receiving- the 47th spot
Clyde McBride, sports editor of
the Kansas City Star, acclaims the
'Nebraska team as one of his teams
of the week as a result of the
U. N. performance at Lawrence.
Kansas State sounded a lot of
warning to future foes by giving
the Oklahoma Sooners a terrific
battle for three quarters before
bowing 28-7. What makes the
Wildcats's feat even more impres
sive is the fact that the first three
K-State fullbacks were left at
home because of injuries.
Two of the three, Vic Jones and
Karl Kramer, acquitted them
selves in fine fashion when the
'Cats were in Lincoln, and their
loss was a considerable blow to
the Kansas State hopes.
Maybe the men of Coach Hobbs
Adams will pull a few surprises
during the final month of the sea
son. Bo McMillan, Indiana coach,
has won more games during his
13 seasons at Bloomington than
did his eight " predecessors who
handled the football fortunes at
the Big Nine school after it was
admitted to the conference in 1900.
According to Indiana press re
leases, the school became a Bo
educational institution in 1934
when the genial McMillan took
over the coaching duties.
Altho Indiana lost only three
men from last year's starting
lineup which was good enough to
win the Big Nine championship,
all three have proved to be hard
men to replace.
A pair of fine ends, Bob Rav
ensburg and Ted Kluszewski, and
the leading offensive" ace in the
Western conference, Halfback
George Taliferro, are not with the
Hoosiers this year and McMillan
is still experimenting to find ade
quate replacements.
Only one conference game is on
tap this week end in the Big Six
but that game Involves the long.
est bit of traveling that any team
must do in loop play.
Oklahoma makes the journey
from Norman to Ames this week
end to meet the Cyclones as the
feature attraction of the Iowa
State celebration.
Coach Jim Tatum's crew will
make the trip 'by plane, leaving
Norman Friday afternoon and re
turning to the southland immedi'
ately after the game Saturday.
Cyclones Face
Powerful
Sooners Next
AMES, la. Iowa State dropped
a 33 to 13 decision to Missouri
last week but not before the Cy
clones had struck cold fear into
the Tigers and Oklahoma.
Not that Oklahoma is going to
admit that Iowa State has a
chance to win its 35th annual
homecoming game here Saturday,
The second and third quarter dis
play of football shown by the Cy
clones did, however, enable Scout
Walter Driskill to take back a re
port which will warrant respect
on the part of one of Oklahoma's
greatest gridiron machines.
Oklahoma will not regard Iowa
State lightly but with the wealth
of football power that roams the
campus at Norman, the Sooners
cannot help but agree that they
will win their third game of the
year and the second in the Big
bix.
Sooners Great?
"Are the Sooners a great team?"
has been a popular Big Six ques
tion all season. Perhaps the best
answer can be given by the
"wolves" of Oklahoma. Notori
ously impatient with a loser, the
Oklahoma backers have been
more solidly behind this 1946
team than at any time in the his
tory of Sooner football.
Many strange faces will con
front the Cyclones here Saturday
but two familiar ones will be
enough to convince them of the
enormity of the job cut out for
them. Joe Golding, rated before
the war as one of Oklahoma's all
time great backs, has come back
to add more luster to his reputa
tion. In one game this year he
moved right to the top of the scor
ing heap with 18 points.
Ed Davis, the fullback who hits
like a train or speeds like a de.er,
tossed touchdown passes twice in
his last appearance here as Okla
homa won, 14 to 7, in 1942.

By Return
Of Morrison
University of Nebraska track
hopes soared Monday with the
return of Don Morrison, former
Lincoln high miler and Big Six
indoor and outdoor two-mile
champion at Nebraska in 1944 and
1945.
It was hoped that Morrison, who
has just received his discharge
from the army, would be . in
school in time to run last week
against the University of Kansas,
but as results turned out he was
not needed.
Ready to Run.
Don has kept himself in shape
by running the two-mile in the
east, and will be on hand when
the Huskers meet the University
of Missouri two-milers in Lincoln
on Nov. 2.
Nebraska chalked up their first
triumph this season by whipping
Kansas Saturday, 22 to 33.
Harold Moore, ace K.U. runner,
nosed out Bobby Ginn for first
place, but Phil Myers, Harold
Kopf, and Jim Martin, all of Ne
braska, finished in that order to
give the Huskers their win.
Lou Mfcans Tours
Stale This Week
On Speaking Trip
Louis E. Means, director of stu
dent physical welfare at the Uni
versity of Nebraska,. has several
speaking engagements scheduled
this week.
His first address will be Thurs
day afternoon, Oct. 24, when he
will speak to the state teachers
convention group of physical edu
cators in McCook, Neb. On Fri
day, noon, Oct. 25, he will appear
before a similar group of physi
cal educators at the state teachers
convention in Lincoln. The same
evening he will be the principal
speaker at the Concordia College
Homecoming Banquet at Seward.
Howard da Silva, the famous
bartender of "The Lost Weekend,"
has been winning high praise for
his portrayal of the tough ship
captain in Paramount's "Two
Years Before the Mast."
Scarlet Team Awaits
Barrage of Passes
It's the same old story In the
Nebraska football camp this week.
Pass defense is taking the spot
light as the Huskers drill for the
Indiana Hoosiers who will be in
Lincoln on Saturday for a grid
iron battle with the Huskers.
Ever since the opening game
against Minnesota the Nebraska
Quarterback Sam Vacant!, who
turned in his best performance of
the season against the Jayhawks,
is hampered with a shoulder in
jury and four tackles, Carl Sam
uelson, Vern Stiner, Mike DiBiase
and Gordon Hall were severely
bruised in last week's tussle.
Although none of the ailing

IIUSKER CO-CAPTAINS End Ed Nyden and Halfback Roy Long
have been named to captain Nebraska Saturday against the In
diana Hoosiers. The Huskers will be shooting for their third win
of the season and will be out to revenge three top heavy trounc
ing received from the visitors during the last three years.
coaching staff has been concerned
with the Huskers' weakness
against passes. Despite the win at
Kansas last week, the defensive
lapses against an aerial game are
still evident, for both Kansas
touchdowns came on passes and
Ray Evans was a threat each time
he got set to throw.
This week the man to watch
out for is Brookly-born Ben Rai
mondi, the overhead artist of the
Indiana attack. In every game
this season the Hoosier quarter
back has been deadly accurate
with his throws and there is no
reason to believe that Bo McMil-
lin's ace will be any different
Saturday.
Injuries to a host of stalwarts
have caused Coach Bernie Mas-
terson some concern as he drills
the Scarlet gridders for the game.
players will see much action dur
ing the week. Trainer Elwyn Dees
is confident that they will be set
to go on Saturday.
On the sunny side was the re
port that End Willard . Bunker
would be able to play. Bunker did
not see action against Iowa or
Kansas because of a knee injury,
but the veteran wingman will be
on call for seryice against the Big
Nine outfit.
Halfback Roy Long and End
Ed Nyden will serve as game cap
tains for the Huskers Saturday.
Both the veterans of prewar Hus
ker teams, and both played serv
ice football. Nyden competed
with Northwestern in the '43 sea
son, while long was a standout
with the Seventy-first infantry di
vision eleven which claimed the
ETO title.

Some coaches regard football
as a serious, dollars -and -cents
business. But not Southern Cali

plays to win and he wins his
share he has a unique theory
that football is, after all, a game
that should "be fun for the players.
Why, he's even been known to
give touchdowns away to needy
opponents! Football fans will be
