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

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

when the referee signaled that the
Jay hawks were offside, but a
Kansas lineman broke thru to
block the second attempt and the

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. As
elaborate farm system, complete
with waiver clauses, is in exist
ence and will take care of many
of the players who do not stick
with the top flight outfits.
A goodly number of the fresh
man football candidates who have
practiced faithfully all year with
out recognition get a chance to
show their stuff in the intra

Coach Pop Klein and his staff.
Among those who show promise
are Jim Godfrey, Cozad; Bill Kim

Independent league. The Lilies

d a y's fraternity championship
game between Phi Delta Theta
and Delta Upsilon on Thursday.
In another independent game,
the Vets' Organization staved off
a last minute threat to beat the
YMCA. 6-0. Early in the game, Al
Gloor made an almost impossible
catch to put the Vets ahead. Both
teams played a bang-up defensive
game and not until three minutes
remained did the Y team make a
serious threat.
Johnson and Coffey led the
Vets' forward defense, while
Cranston and Keinker led the Y
attack.

Nebraska Gridder
Get Two Day Layoff
With an open date Saturday, the
Nebraska gridclers got a well
earned rest the first two days of
this week, before resuming their
football chores today.
Although there was no news
from the practice field, Trainer
Elwyn Dees had cheering words
from the training room in the field
house. Cletus Fischer, hard-hitting
right halfback from St. Ed
ward, who has been sidelined
with a bum leg since early in Oc
tober will probably be able to see
action against the Iowa State
team on November 16.
Fischer's return to the squad
will bolster the right halfback
ranks, especially in the defensive
quarter for the scrappy 160
pounder is one of the most deadly i
tachlers on the team. I
