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.

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.

one of the more consistently out
standing performers on the B

cross-country team has posted it
self an early favorite to win the
Big Six two-mile championship
between halves of the Missouri

Nov. 16.
In their dual meet with Iowa

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

when he was clocked in 9:59, the
