Oklahoma's Sooners and Kan
sas Jayhawks had to turn on all
their power Saturday to become
co-champions of the Big Six con
ference. Oklahoma nosed out an
inspired Nebraska eleven, 14-13,
and Kansas tripped Missouri in
the final minute, 20-14.
The co-champions played to a
tie game this year, and neither
team was defeated in loop play.
Huskers Tough.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers,
aroused by the 60-yard touch
down run of CJetus Fischer in the
second period gave the favored
Sooners the toughest kind of op
position before losing the gruel
ling battle. Terrific line play fea
tured the contest, particularly the
work of Nebraska's Tom Novak
and Oklahoma's John Rapacz, the
rival centers.
Oklahoma came back quickly
after Fischer's scoring sprint and
marched 74 yards for its first
tally. The Sooners' second touch
down was set up when they re
covered their own second-half
kickoff on the Nebraska 29. The
Huskers' final tally came in the
third stanza on a 27-yard pass
from Dick Thompson to Alex
Cochrane.
Nebraska will wind up its sea
son at home next Saturday
against Oregon State, and Okla
homa will play host to the Okla
homa Aggies. .
Jayhawks Score Late.
The University of Kansas came
from behind in the final minute of
play Saturday to down Missouri's
Tiers, 20-14, and retain their share
of the loop title. The lead changed
hands five times before the Jay
hawks emerged victorious.
Ray Evans, Kansas' great back
playing his final home game, and
Forrest Griffith, sophomore full
back, were the big guns in the
Jayhawk offense. Twice Evans
stopped potential touchdown run
ners. He also batted down enemy
passes, forward passed for big
gains, and carried the ball for 96
yards. And it was Griffith who
went over the Tiger right guard
for the title winning touchdown.
Kansas Undefeated.
George Sauer, the Jayhawk
coach, finished his second loop
schedule at Kansas, holding one
half of the championship each
year. Sauer's 1947 team holds the
distinction of being the only un
defeated Kansas team in Big Six
conference history. If they can de
feat Arizona at Tucson next week,
they will be one of the nation's
unbeaten elevens.

season.
The Scarlet cagers have been
working on various formations
and have been scrimmaging dur
ing each practice session. Coach
Good has picked no definite teams
for these scrimmages in order to
see how various men work to

Athletic Dept.
Orders Plastic
Wrestling Mat
Cornhusker wrestlers are due
for something different during
the 1947-48 season. Instead of a
plain canvas mat as in former
years, the grapplers will work on
a new plastic mat cover.
The 31x36 foot cover, a Good
rich Koroseal plastic product, is
now on order, according to Coach
Pat Patterson. The product is very
durable, with joints butted and
electronically sealed. Wrestlers
are assured of a clean mat at all
matches as the plastic is readily
cleaned.
Various holds and escapes used
by collegiate matmen will be dem
onstrated during halftime of the
Purdue basketball game in the
coliseum. This has been planned
by Patterson to increase the fans'
knowledge and appreciation of the
sport. Bob Yambor and Mickey
Kelly will be used as demonstra
tors and Mike DiBiase will handle
the explanations.

ran 62 yards for the first score and Thompson passed to End Alex

Huskers Watch Movies
Nebraska's Cornhuskers Monday
afternoon watched the movies of
last Saturday's Oklahoma game
as Coach Bernie Masterson gave
his rejuvenated charges a day of
rest before heading into the final
week of action.
Scarlet Line Rough.
The Scarlet and Cream battlers
put up their best game of the sea
son in their Big Six final against
the co-champioins, Oklahoma. The
Nebraska line looked to be on a
fair par with the Sooner forwards,
through most of the game. Al
though the statistics gave the visi
tors a healthy advantage, the
Husker line held when the chips
were down against some of the
most shifty backs in the confer
ence. Nebraska's backfield can be
given a word of praise for an
overall improvement in their pass
defense. The Sooner passing at
tack was held at bay all through
the game as they completed only
one pass that hurt the Huskers,
that being a 16-yard toss in the
first period.
Team Shows Improvement.

Frosh-Nubbins
Tilt Cancelled
The sceduled game between the
Nubbins and freshman squads
was cancelled Monday night as
both teams turned in their uni
forms for the season.
The battle held between the
two units early in the season
turned into a scoreless tie as both
the spirited Cornhusker squads
trotted through a long afternoon
of mud and rain.
The Nubbins saw action twice
this year against outside compe
tition, both times having the Ft.
Riley Centaurs as opposition. The
Husker hopefuls twice handed the
bulkier soldier crew losses. The
first game ended with Nebraska
on the long end of the 12-7 score.
The second game was more con
vincing as the Nebraskans rolled
over the Army 18-0.

great improvement since the dis
astrous Missouri trip, when every
thing seemed to go wrong for the
traveling Huskers. Nebraska came
close against Kansas, losing in the
last few seconds of play 13-7.
They came even closer to victory
last Saturday as they rocked the
Sooners with bursts of offensive
drive that gave heart to the loyal
Cornhusker rooters.
The Huskers showed in the
Kansas and Oklahoma games that
they have the stuff to win if they
put every thing together at the
same time. They have one last
chance to give Nebraska fans a
home victory this Saturday in
Memorial Stadium when Lonnie
Stiner brings his Oregon State
team to meet the Cornhuskers
in the final game of the season.
