Intent on spoil ing the Nebraska Homecoming this Saturday, the Missouri Ti gers are concentrating on their third conference game at Lincoln with the Cornhuskers. Currently tied with the Scarlet and Oklahoma for the loop lead, the charges of Coach Don Faurot are setting their sights on a re ' peat performance of last season's Big Six championship. With vie tories over Kansas State, 26 to 0, and Iowa State, 33 to 0, coupled with a 19 to 14 triumph over St, Louis, a 13-13 tie with Ohio State and a 42 to 0 loss to Texas in the season's .opener, the .Missouri maulers hope to nudge the Corn huskers for their second win in two years. One Common Foe. The only game with which to judge the two teams were the contests with Kansas State. The Huskers mowed down the Wild cats to the tune of 31 to 0, while a week later the Tigers continued theb lasting with a 26 to 0 vic tory. Both teams looked sloppy against the Wildcats, however, so that no real comparison is pos sible. With 284-pound Jim Kekeris In the tackle slot leading the for ward wall, the Tigers will offer Football Teams Begin Final Playoff Games The intramural football season has entered its final phase as teams have started to battle for the coveted championship which .will give precious points for the Jack Best trophy. Sigma Chi was on the spot last night in its game with Phi Delta Theta, after being defeated by Delta Upsilon in the first league playoff. The Phi Delts are favored to win on the basis of their all victorious record and an average of over 16 points per game. In a League I playoff for third place, Sigma Nu battled a stub born Kappa Sigma team, finally winning 2-0. Another hotly contested game found Phi Gamma Delta registering its first win by defeating Brown Palace Co-op, 1-0. The playoff of the tie found both teams losing yardage in their efforts to gain. Brown Palace lost 8 yards while the Phi Gams lost V2. YMCA continued their winning habit by stopping Presbyterian House, 12-7. Cranston and Parker scored for the Y's. The V-9's twin mighty midgets, Flasnik and Tom sik led their team to an impressive 12-0 victory over Delta Sigma Pi.

THE HUGE LEFT 'TACKLE IS JIOPING TO PLAY PRO-FOOTBALL AFTER GRADUATION staunch opposition to the Ilusker ground attack. Marshall Shur nas and Rollie Oakes at the ends, Bob Stone at the other tackle, Verlie Abrams and John Regi nato at the guards and Ralph Stewart at center will round out the starting line. In the backfield, the men from Columbia will find a quartet composed of Loyd Brinkman and Bob Hopkins at the halves, Harold Entsminger at the quarterback spot, and Lee Bowman at full back. With Brinkman the runner-up in the conference ground gaining race, the Tigers will have a double-barreled attack leveled at the Cornhuskers. The Missouri air attack has netted 38 comple tions out of 77 attempts to account for two-fifths of their 1,630 yards gained. Injury Tale. Injuries, however, may keep Entsminger and Shurnas from seeing much astion against the Huskers. The return of Fred Bouldin, regular fullback, who has been sidelined with a broken hand, will help to offset the pos sible loss 0)f the other two men. Something new in the way of school support for the football team will be inaugurated at Wash ington State this fall. A seven- part glee club consisting of sev eral thousand voices will harmon ize to cheer the Huskies in the homecoming grid scrap with Cali fornia, Oct. 26. It is expected to produce one of the most unique cheering sections yet devised, and if the venture proves successful, may be established as a tradition. 0u ruunti ahi BIG 'ti LITTLE "UJt rvuJcf. ptoplfc hajp LOOK TOR US OH NORCROSS GREETING CARDS N Get them at the GOLDBJROD 215 North 14th Street (South of Student Union) Postponed' Until Nov. 22 The Nebraska University B team football game with Midland College, scheduled for this Fri day at Fremont, has been post poned until November 22. The request for a change in the date was made by the Warriors, who desire an open week-end to pre pare for future conference en gagements. Kansas University's reserve squad will provide the next opposition for the Nubbins in a November 9th contest in Lin coln. By comparative scores the Jayhawks should be a stiff hurdle for the Huskers, for they handed the Kansas State B team a two touchdown defeat, while the Wildcats in two games with the Nubbins dropped a decision by the same margin and then in the second game held the Nebraskans to a 14 14 tie. The open date will also give Coach Ray Proochaska an op portunity to smooth out the rough spots apparent in the tie game of last Friday. Poor Defense. Especially noticeable was the poor pass defenes and ball hand ling of the Nubbins. Both Kansas scores were set up on long pass completions, while the Husker at tack suffered because of the loose manner in which the ball was handled. Although their perfect record was blemished by the tie, the Nubbins are still undefeated and rank as one of the best reserve teams in this section of the coun try. The last two games ith Kansas and Midland will go a long way in determining just how much the Huskers have improved or slipped since the beginning of the season. The loss of many of their early season stars, either to the varsity or by way of injuries, have hurt the Nubbins, but the play of several freshman per fomer such as halfback Bob Ackerman and Dale Adams, and End Mickey Allen have enabled them to maintain their unde feated status. Oscar Mussman, stellar tackle of the Nubbins, has recently been working with the varsity and may remain there for the rest of the season. Betty Hutton performs a total of 22 hazzardous stunts in her role of Pearl White, the old-time serial queen, in Paramount's "The Perils of Pauline." John Luns is her co-star.

Two more promotions were added to the three advancements which came about Tuesday, for Gene Wilkins of Omaha and Fraru- nie Leik of Hastings were running with the first string at the guard positions Both are rugged veterans who will add more poundage to the center of the Husker line, some thing the Scarlet team will be needing if it is to be able to handle ponderous Jim Kekeris and the rest of the Tiger forward wall. Three lineup changes which oc curred Tuesday were still hold ing as two varsity outfits tangled with Ray Prochaska's and Bob Kapler's Nubbins. . " Frank "Junior" Collopy, Scotts bluff back who started the sea son as a fullback was running at right halfback with one crew which included Wally Hopp, Dick Hutton and either Sam Vacanti or Dick Thompson as the other back field members. The move was designed to strengthen the Husker defense which, proved to be woefully in adequate against passes thrown by the opposition last week. Col lopy alternated with Bill Moomey against Indiana, playing when Nebraska was on the defensive. Gordon Hall, scrappy Lincoln tackle, was another Husker to ad vance as the Missouri game nears. Injuries to Vern Stiner have left the right tackle spot weakened and Hall moved into the vacancy. Willard Bunker, back in play ing condition after a knee injury had hampered him since the Kan sas State contest, was named at the left end post in place of Jack Hazen who is still troubled by a bad shoulder. In Wednesday's session Fritz j Mandula and Hazen were alter Men's Shoes, Second Floor OPEN TIWRS. MTE 'TIL NINE! nating at led end, Carl Samuel son held down left tackle, Frannie Leik was at left guard and Joe Partington, game captain for the Mizzou tussle was playing cen ter. On the right side of the line were Gene Wilkins, Hall and Jack Pesek. Collopy and Dick Hutton were at the halfback spots, Wally Hopp ran from the fullback position and Vacanti and Dick Thompson took turns at the signal calling duties. Different Eleven. On another combination Ed Nyden and Bob Schleiger took care of the terminal posts, Stiner, still favoring injuries, and John Sedlacek saw duty at the tackic slots, Ed Schwartzkopf and Fred Lorenz took care of the guard duties and Jim Thomson was at center. Fred Metheny handled the quarterbacking, Jim Myers and Bill Moomey were at the half backs and Tom Novak was in at fullback. Another member of the ailing list, Cletus Fischer, was working out in sweat clothes. The St. Ed ward right halfback was hurt early In the year and has viewed the last several games from the sidelines. Missouri will use a T forma tion against the Huskers, but in Don Faurot's version the quarter back is often the man in motion, deserting his spot under the cen ter. With Bus Entsminger, reg ular signal caller, expected to be bothered ty injuries sustained in the Southern Methodist game, Ne braskans can expect to see plenty of little Len Brown, the pint-sized quarterback who caused so much gierf last year.
