Sunday, November -3, 1946 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 7 Football . . . (Continued from Page 1.) to halt the Huskers who started on their own 11, hence the total inarch of 105 yards. Halfback Jim Myers drove over the Bengal left tackle to cap the drive, scoring from 4 and one half yards out. Wally Hopp and Dick Hutton carried the brunt of the ground-gaining burden in this advance, Hutton contributing a 32-yard scamper with a Metheny pass. Six minutes later the Nebras kans came up with another touch down to move within a single point of the visitors. Sam Va ra nU fired a pass to bit Jack Fesek who had rotten loose near the roal, and the husky end fell over the double stripe for the counter. Vacanti added the extra point after this score as he had done after Myer's tally, but Sam's at tempt in the first half went wide and with the erratic path of the pigskin went the UN hopes for victory. At the time, however, the Nebraska cause seemed futile for the ferocious Tiger backs had romped all over the Huskers. Fullback Tom Novak can look forward to some relief in future games, for roly-poly Wally Hopp sparkled after entering the con test when Novak's injured shoul der began to bother. The Hast ings line-bucker was outstanding during his time on the field, tear ing through the Bengal forward wall as if rocket-propelled, as well as providing some timely blocks which enabled Hutton to travel for long gains. Bob Hopkins crossed the goal with four minutes left in the first quarter to open the Missouri scor ing, charging over tackle for the six pointer. Fumble Costly. A fumble by Dick Thompson which was recovered by Missouri end Rolland Oakes on the Husker 6 set up the opportunity which the alert Tigers did not waste. Jumbo Jim Kekeris added the first of three perfect placements which were to provide the Colum bia outfit with its margin of vic tory. The Nebraska line could not shake off its inept actions in the second quarter and twice speedy Bengal ball-toters shot into the open and outraced the Husker sec ondary to touchdown territory. Loyd Brinkman did a tight-rope walker's routine for 40 yards down the east sideline to add the second Missouri score early in the sec ond quarter, after blasting into the clear on an end sweep. The Tigers' pesky signal-caller, dim inutive Leonard Brown, had given Brinkman the ball on a lateral. A poor punt by Vacanti set up the visitors' last tally, the ball going 20 yards to the Husker 49. Two forays by Howard Bonnett, a first down by Bob Teel and a line plunge by Fred Bouldin set the stage for a 26 yard jaunt by Bonnett after five minutes had elapsed. The Tiger back, who was used as a spot performer during the afternoon, responded with a pay nff norfnrmannp a he followed B shield of interference into the end zone. Any fan viewing just the sec ond half of the game would have been amazed to learn that Ne braska was trailing. The entire Scarlet team displayed plenty of fight in the last 30 minutes and only tirie prevented the Huskers from marking up another score. Huskers Desperate. With five minutes left in the final quarter the Tigers were forced to punt and Nebraska took the ball on its own 26. The Hus kers were desperate and dug deep into their bag of tricks. ftn n nlav Onter Joe Fart inrton uu on the receiving end of a pass which was good for a first down. A spread lormauon had left little Joe as the last man an th I in, thus maltlnr Mm an eligible receiver. The gain was to no avail, for three Vacanti passes were incomplete and Myers punted. Missouri froze the ball for the remainder of the game, electing to run on the fourth down wun a yard to go at midCeld. The gamble succeeded as Brinkman struggled for the necessary distance, and the Nubbins Meet Kansas B Squad Next The University of Nebraska B team plays its third home game of the season next Saturday aft ernoon when it meets a strong Kansas University B squad in Memorial stadium. Bad breaks and inability to cash in on their scoring oppor tunities cost the Huskers a chance to maintain their undefeated and untied record in last -week's 14-14 tie with Kansas State. The Jayhawks have a powerful reserve squad according to Husker Coach Bob Kahler and will be a worthy opponent for the Scarlet gndders in a game that may well decide the Big Six B team cham pionship. Allen Lost. Mickey Allen, star end for the Nubbins, suffered a partial dislo cation of his knee in the Wildcat game and will miss the Kansas game and perhaps the final en counter against Midland college. The loss of Allen, who has been one of the more consistently out standing performers on the B Missouri Rated As Team to Bent NORMAN, Okla. With three runners under 10 minute 10 sec onds in mid-October, Missouri's cross-country team has posted it self an early favorite to win the Big Six two-mile championship between halves of the Missouri Oklahoma football game here Nov. 16. In their dual meet with Iowa State recently, Coach Tom Bolts' Tigers ignored unfriendly weather and a slow track to win 23-32 with Bill Chronister first in 10:05.1, Bill Slagle second in 10:07 and Dick Killough third. Surprise of the season was the defeat of Nebraska's Bobby Ginn, national collegiate mile champion of 1942 and last year's Big Six outdoor mile king by rangy Hal Moore of Kansas at Lawrence last week. Moore's time was 10:16.5, Ginn's 10:17.5. Ginn improved his time in yes terday's race against Missouri when he was clocked in 9:59, the fastest time of the fall two-mile season. squad all season, will be keenly felt in the remaining games. Coaches Ray Prochaska and Kahler have been sending their gridders into action against the. varsity this past week.
