Wednesday, November, 6, 1946 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 3 S D (B Di George Seems like the Cornhuskers did a good turn for the Minnesota Gophers and Coach Bernie Bier man when two of the Minnesota regulars were injured early in the Husker game on September 28, for the hurts received by Halfback Tom Cates and Guard Chuck Dellao enabled two Gopher substitutes to have a chance at fulltime duty. Sharp-shooting Ev Faunca, one of the nation's leading passers and all-around offensive backs, re placed Cates and blossomed into a full time performer, one of the best in the Big Nine. The other reserve who got a chance was huge Leo Nomellini who is one of the big surprises on the Min nesota squad. v Husker foes will learn to fear San Vacanti when he en ters the game at a crucial mo ment. In the last two contests slingin' Sam has entered the battle when the Scarlet have been threatened. On the first play after his arrival on the field vacanti has unleashed a touchdown pass. Jack Pesek was on the receiving end against Missouri and a week earlier it was Ed Nyden who latched on to the toss in the end zone. George Sauer's Kansas Jay hawks make a specialty of thrill ing their rooters. In the Okla home Aggie encounter the Cow pokes scored their touchdowns in the closing seconds of each half. This was nothing new, because in earlier games Denver and Iowa State had also pushed across the touchdowns with less than a min ute remaining in the half. Last Saturday's action pro duced something special in the way of thrills, for after the Ag gies had pushed across a touch down in the closing minutes, the attempted extra point which would have tied the score went wide. K. U. cheers were stifled Cyclone-Drake Encounter Set For Saturday AMES, Iowa. It's not the old est rivalry in Iowa State gridiron history but at least it is the long est this series with Drake Uni versity. Big Game. It took Drake and Iowa State seven seasons to get started play ing each other. Once started that was in 1898 the series has been interrupted only three times. Breaks came in 1899, 1918, and 1920. With those three excep tions the Bulldog and the Cyclone have tangled every fall to give rank to the seres as one of the state's "big games." Like all other such traditional rivalries, consistent winning on the part of one team or the other has not detracted from the "draw of the game. Iowa State has won 30 of the contests, Drake has cap tured 12, and three have been ties. Nor has it always been neces sary for each to bring unbeaten records to the contest to make fans flack to Drake Stadium or Clyde Williams Field. Previous play has had little effect on the game. Cyclone Win Streak. In racking up 30 wins the Cy clones scored ten in a row from 1910 through 1921. Drake's long est winning streak was 1929-1931 with four. The 1914 victory at 52 to 0 was the highest total for Iowa State while the 30 to 0 Drake win 1937 was the best Bulldog mark. But little teams, time, games meant history will mean mighty Saturday when the two meet for the forty-sixth Each team has won two this year and that won't a thing. All that will matter is that such foes as St. Ambrose, Detroit, Northwestern, Oklahoma and the like can for this week be re garded as simply tuneup contests for the f,orty-sixth meeting of the Bulldog and the Cyclone. j EL DTTEiT Br Miller iiiiiwii.il j when the referee signaled that the Jay hawks were offside, but a Kansas lineman broke thru to block the second attempt and the Jayhawkers were the perpetrators of one of the day's many upsets. Sid Held, former all-Big Six basketball performer for Nebras ka, will be in action for the Fault less Laundry quintet of Kansas City this winter, along with sev eral other former college aces. Professional basketball leagues are springing up all over the country, so that collegiate stars will have plenty of opportunities to continue their condition when college eligibility is exhausted.
