Big Six schedule makers prob
ably had no inkling of what would
happen, but four of the confer
ence gridiron machines are bear
ing down on the finish line dead
locked in a tie for first place.
Only two league games remain
to be played, and both will be
vital in determining the final
leaders. AH of last week's con
- tests ended as expected to pro
duce a four-way tie involving Ok
lahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska, each team having a record
of three wins and one loss.
The Huskers and Oklahoma will
meet on Saturday to settle part
of the muddle, with Kansas and
Missouri slated to collide on
Thanksgiving tilt at Columbia in
a game which will unravel the
rest of the tangle.
Unless ties crop up, and these
have been none in conference
games thus far, two schools will
finish in a deadlock for the cham
pionship. Cyclones Done.
Kansas State and Iowa State,
both out of the conflict, have con
cluded their conference activity,
and the Cyclones have checked in
their gridiron togs.
This week the Wildcats will
travel to Albuquerque for a non
loop engagement with the New
Mexico Loboes, while Kansas and
Missouri rest in preparation for
their crucial meeting on Turkey
day.
Altho every conference game
went according to pre-kickoff
dope, the Sooners' margin of vic
tory over the heretofore unde
feated Tigers caused plenty of
surprise around the conference.
Coach Jim Tatum's aggregation
piled up 20 points in the first
quarter to completely master the
Bengal threat.
In view of this display of
power, Nebraska will rank as a
definite underdog when the two
clubs clash at Owen field. The
game will be the first of a two
game trip which will carry Ber
nie Masterson and his Ilusker
gridders to the Pacific coast for a
meeting with the powerful UCLA
outfit on Nov. 30.
UN Leaves Thursday.
The Scarlet traveling squad will
leave Lincoln on Thursday night
and will return to the wintery
scene on Dec. 3 after almost two
weeks of touring in the southwest.
Saturday's 33-0 win over the
punchless Iowa State Cyclones
served as a tuneup for the Ne
braska team which should be at
full strength for the Sooner bat
tle. Ray Evans broke loose In the
second half to lead the Jayhawks
to a 34-0 win over the scrappy
Kansas State Wildcats. The Man
hattan squad had limited the KU
combination to a 6-0 halftime
lead, but wilted under steady
pounding by the Jayhawk back
ficld. The defeat put the 'Cats in the
cellar to stay, for Iowa State had
scored an earlier win over the
Purple to evade the basement by
one game.
Fullback Pihos
Tops Hoosier
Paint Makers
BLOOMINGTON, I n d . B i g
Pete Pihos, Indiana's fullback who
has been described as "an All
American at any position," will
go down as the biggest scorer in
Hoosier football history regard
less of what he does against Pur
due in his last collegiate game
next Saturday.
Pihos, who has played fullback,
quarterback and left halfback
for the Hoosiers this fall after
winning all-America honors at
end in 1943. has tallied 120
points. The advantage he has on
some other prolific point-producers
at Indiana is that he got
in four years of football, thanks
to the war.
The gorgeous Greek started the
1946 season with 90 points, head
ing Billy Hillenbrand, who tallied
82 points in two seasons, and
Dick Deranek, the Indiana right
halfback, who got 78 in 1944 and
1945. Deranek has tallied 18
points this season and thus has
overhauled Hillenbrand. With
another season of competition
left, Deranek may yet overtake
Pihos before hanging up his cleats.
Most Touchdowns.
Hugh (Knocky) McKlnnis, In
diana's left halfback, is the all
time leader in the number of
touchdowns scored in one sea
son. McKinnis, operating as a
reserve fullback, tallied nine for
the Hoosiers in 1942

UN Two Mile
Team Pleases
Coach Weir
BV WALT LOOMIS.
Although the Cornhuskers
Wound up in fourth place in the
Big Six two mile conference
meet at Norman, Oklahoma, last
Saturday, Nebraska prestige did
not suffer.
The showing made by Bobby
Ginn and Don Morrison in plac
ing first and sixth respectively
proved that the only thing the
other three members of the team
lacked was experience. Both Ginn
and Morrison, the only exper
ienced runners on the squad and
also the only two men who had
run the gruelling two mile dis
tance before coming to the uni
versity, broke the tape at Nor
man in less than ten minutes,
which is quite an accomplishment
in view of the fact that a strong
wind and cold weather hampered
the runners.
All of the coaches of the con
ference teams were greatly sur
prised to find that the times of
the first twenty-five men taken
as a group were faster than in
the pre-war years of 1941 and
1942.
Vets Run Well.
This fact, coupled with the per
formance turned in by returned
war veterans, who ran exception
ally well for their first season
back, gave an indication that the
performances of the coming track
season are going to be well above
those of the past two or three
years.
The University of Kansas ap
pears to have a strong "first-
place" team this year and Okla
homa, with a host of veterans
and a wealth of navy material,
has the depth to warrant consid
eration in the title contest.
In the Big Six indoor track
meet the first five places are to
count for points, instead of the
first four as has been the case
previously. Also in the outdoor
meet the points will be scored on
the basis of the first six places
instead of the first five.
With this fact in mind, Coach
Ed Weir of Nebraska is concen
trating his efforts on developing
second, third, and fourth place
winners, as many a track meet
lias been won on the basis of
these lesser places.
The complete list of how the
runners from all schools finished
in the two mile race Saturday is
below.

years.
Husker Cagers
Will Practice
At Ag College
With the opening game with
South Dakota only two weeks
away, basketball coach Harry
uood has accelerated his prac
tices in order to give his team
both a well rounded offense and
defense.
Offense Stressed.
He is still working on the fast
break and set offenses, and has
been fixing defenses against the
various offenses he expects to en
counter. Practice will be held at Ae
College until Thursday because
the floor in the coliseum is being
sealed. Monday, Good showed his
players films on basketball fundamentals.
Good mentioned the following
players as' being particularly out
standing in practice thus far:
Forwards: Joe Brown. Claude
Rutherford, Ken Anderson, Matt

Sandstedt.
Nubbins Meet Midland
At Fremont Saturday
With a season's record of three
wins and a tie behind them, the
University of Nebraska B team is
preparing for its finale Saturday
afternoon against Midland at Fre
mont. The loss of several outstanding
players to the varsity and the re.
cent Midland improvement is
causing Coach Ray Prochaska a
good deal of concern as he weighs
the chances of his team finishing
the campaign without a defeat.
Midland has the leading scorer
in the Nebraska College Confer
ence in the Derson of Revoe Hill
who was also a standout player
at the fremont school prior to
the war. This versatile halfback
is expected to cause the Huskers
a lot of trouble come Saturday
afternoon.
Nubbins Advanced.
In an effort to st.rpntri Vion his
weakest positions, Bernie Master
son elevated three Nubbins stal
warts to the varsity last week.
The three bnvs whn saw rlntv
against the Iowa Stat a Cvrlnns
last week-end were Jim McWil-
liams, Scottsbluff end, Oscar
Mussman, mainstay of the B team
jline all year, and Ralph Dam
j kroeger, who has come all the
j way from an end position on the
j freshman squad to a berth on
the varsity this season.
In recent practices the Nubbins
first string has been lining up
in the following manner: Ends,
Bob Schneider and George Lee;
Tackles, Ray Moehler and Jim
Sommers; Guards, Bruce Allen
and Bob Harrington; Center, Gail
Gade; Quarterback, Del Wiegand;
Halfbacks, Dale Adams and Bob
Ackerman; Fullback, Darwin
