Missouri Hopes to Repeat
Last Year's Win Over UN
Columbia, Mo. 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

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 paid kept theid oppon
ents baffled with runs, passes, and
laterals that took them all over
the field. j

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.

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.

Masterson Juggles
Cornhusker Lineup
Bernie Masterson sent his
Husker footballers through offen
sive and defensive sessions against
the Nubbjns Wednesday afternoon
as he prepared his squad for the
encounter with the Missouri
Tigers on Saturday.
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

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.
