All signs point to a conceited
attack through the airways by the
Iowa State team when they tangle
with the Nebraska gridders Satur
day afternoon in the Huskers' lasl
home game.
Included on the Cyclone roster
Is Dean Laun, pass-grabbing
end, who ranks fourth in the
nation 22 catches in eight games
for a gain of 302 yards.
More evidence to back up such
a prediction is contained in Big
Six statistics which show that Ron
Norman is the passingest back in
the loop. He has thrown 70 pases
and completed 29 for a gain of
323 yards which gives- him the
lead in this department. Two
more Cyclones, Willerw and Farni
rank eighth and ninth in pass
ratings.
Team statistics indicate that
passes in eight games and 60 have
been completed for a percentage
of .357 and a gain of 775 yards.
Nebraska's uain on passes in six
games amounts to 324 yards, the
result of 23 completions in 70 at
tempts for a .302 percentage.
However the Huskers may
step up their aerial game after
looking at the Iowa State record
against passes. Although not
quite as vulnerable as the Scar
let defenders, the Ames outfit
has iiiowed opponents to com
plete more than half of the
parses attempted for a gain of
6R3 yards.
Cyclone foes have connected on
44 of 87 attempts for a .505 per
centage, not far the Husker op
ponents' record of 48 successes in
00 tries which produces a .533
mark.
Two of the Nebraska passers,
Sam Vacanti and Fred Metheny,
rank in the top ten among con
ference tossers ' Vacanti has com
pleted 12 of 35 heaves for 229
yards, good for third place behind
ihe Cyclones' Norman and Ray
Evans of Kansas, while Metheny
is in sixth position.

Kansas university football
coaches fear the woman's touch
mire than any possible rough-and-tough
handling of a -mere
football team, according to word
from the Kansas State camnus.
George Sauer and staff re
fused an Invitation from the
Man Rattan school which asked
that a few of the biggest Jay
hawks visit the K-Slate campus
for the purpose of Judging 15
Wildcat beauty qneen candi
dates. Faced with the refusal, Kansas
State pep officials have lined up
three faculty members and three
photographers to take care of the
judging.
The Jayhawks are taking no
chances, since it is the Wildcats
who they will meet on Saturday
In a Big Six game vital to the
KU title hopes.

only one part of the Kansas State
football performance which was
worth praise. That was the punt
ing department which has been
the Wildcats' strtJng suit, through
necessity, all season long.
Incidentally, air sickness took
a heavy toll of the K State play
ers on the flight to the coast
for their game with San Fran
cisco U. Even several air corps
vets were under the weather.
Three Nebraskans and possibly
a fourth are included in the list of
Iowa State gridders who will bow
out the collegiate competition with
Saturday's game.
Chuck Wright, Omaha, guard;
Carter Kokjer, Sidney, center
and Harry Kraus, Sargent, back,
are the three seniors, while Dick
Cole, Omaha, tackle, is a junior
who may graduate before all of
his eligibility is used up.
Along with these four there are
six home-grown Iowa players who
will wind up their play in Cyclone
togs.
Injured Cyclone
Works Harder
Than Regulars
AMS, la. Maybe some of the
fans thought their favorite grid
der did the hardest work in Sat
urday's Iowa State Drake foot
ball game but the hardest work
ing man there wasn't in uniform.
Ed Farni, regular quarterback
on the Cyclone eleven until side
lined by injuries, was out of his
first game since the season started
and he fussed, fidgeted, and
sweated harder being a spectator
than he ever could have in the
game with the Bulldogs.
Farni pulled a pair of ribs loose
in the Oklahoma game and re
injured them against Kansas State.
When both his personal physician
and the college doctors warned
him that serious injury would fol
low his insistence on playing he
went to the sidelines for the sea
son. But the hard-working ex-Army
flier isn't too sure it wouldn't be
easier to play than to watch after
his "workout" against Drake as a
spectator.

Cornhuskers Need
Win Over Cyclones
An estimated crowd of 30,000
fans is expected to be in thei
stands Saturday when the Corn-
huskers make their last home start I
against theowa State Cyclones in"t
a Big Six conference engagement.
Athletic Director A. J. Lew

the game which has taken on
added importance since the
Kansas win over Oklahoma. The
Jayhawk triumph leaves the
Huskers still xcry much in the
thick of the loop battle for first
place and a win over the Ames
outfit is necessary if the Scarlet
gridders are to keep alive any
hopes of a championship.
Bernie Masterson sent his
charges through a short scrim
mage against the freshmen Wed
nesday afternoon and tried out a
few new plays. The new forma
tions will add more worries to
the brow of Iowa State Coach
Mike Michalski who has already
stated that according to scout re
ports the Huskers use more plays
in a game than the Cyclones have
unveiled all year.
Three New Backs
With Fred Metheny, Bill
Moorney and Wally Hopp expected
to get the call at three of the
backfield spots, the starting lineup
will be quite different than the
combination that took the field at
kickoff time against Missouri.
Only left half Dick Hutton is still
a member of the first string bacL -1
field quartette. I
Gordie Hall and Gene Wilkins
are expected to open in the line
in place of Vern Stiner and Ed
Schwartzkopf, with Freddie Ixr
enz moving back to his usual
guard spot after being out of the
opening unit against the Tigers
on November Z.

missing from practice due to the
heavy snowfall in the western
part of the state. Collopy has
been marooned since the weekend
but is expected to be on hand
today.
Dad's Day
As a part of the "Dads' Day"
celebration, fathers of the players
will be honored at a luncheon.
Saturday noon at the Student
Union, and will sit on the side
lines next to the players benches
for the game.
The gfMne will be the last of
the season for Iowa State which
has had a rough road this year.
Thus far the Cyclones have won
two games, against Iowa Teach
ers and Kansas State, and tied
Drake, while losing the rest.
