The Nebraska Cornhuskers, seeking to better their 50
mark in non-loop games, step out of the Big Seven to tame
the Nittany Lion from Penn State at State College, Pa.,
Saturday.
Comparatively fresh from their 13-6 win over a power-
foe last Saturday.
ful K-State
Coach Bill Glassford's boys will
be a one-point favorate as the
Huskers renew their gridiron ri
valry with Penn State.
This will be the first meeting
of the two clubs since 1920, when
the easterners won 20-0. The
Huskers went into that game as
decided favorites, since they had
beaten Rutgers the week before
28-0.
In their first game of the sea
son, Penn State suffered the first
major upset of the 1949 season as
Villanova lowered the boom 27-6.
A week later, "Red" Blaiks' Ca
dets, yearning for the national
recognition and glory that was
theirs during the "war years,"
walloped the Lions 42-7.
Mild Upset.
Saturday, Coach Joe Bedenk de
cided to start his season over again
with a mild upset as his boys
dropped Boston College 32-14.
For the lucky ones who get to
make the trip to Penn State, an
aerial game is in store. The Lions
depended mostly upon the passing
arm of Bill Luther, who com
pleted two touchdown passes and
set up the other TD's with his
deadly passing arm.

down pass and scored another on

Army, although not 'way ahead

was the number one team in the
nation last year was riding a 25

terrific pounding.

Special mention, I believe, should go to Rocky Mueller
for his outstanding performance in the Kansas State game.
Rocky's hard-running was the topic of all conversation
after the game at Manhattan Saturday. Many Kansas parti
sans said that Mueller was the hardest charging back they
had seen all year. They were especially impressed by Muel
ler's high knee running.
He had two runs of more than 30 yards called back
because of penalties Saturday, one of them was a touch
down run. This year Rocky has a total of 231 yards gained
in 45 runs.
One of the big gripes of the Wildcat fans had to do
with a story in one of the Manhattan papers that said the
Huskers had no fast backs. Those watching the game from
Kansas State side thought, that Nebraska had two of the
fastest backs in the conference in Don Bloom and Ron
Clark.
Clark's run was one of the best exhibitions of team
work given by the Huskers all year. The downfield blocking
was magnificent. Every red-shirted man knew his assign
ment and fulfilled it to perfection. Coach Glassford said
after the game that the play was planned for Clark to go
down the middle of the field instead of cutting to the
sidelines. When asked how it felt to run through the whole
team untouched, Clark said, "Nice."
Nebraska had a good turnout at the game. A pep band
and many rooters kept Husker spirit alive with fierce op
position from the huge Wildcat cheering section. Kansas
State has a small pep squad but in the small stadium it is
necessary to seat all the students on one side of the field.
They made a lot of noise. A few Nebraska fans tried to work
out a small card 'section but it was unsuccessful.
Seating at the K-State game is a sore subject to faith
ful Cornhusker followers. When visting team brings its root
ers to Lincoln, Ticket Manager A. J. Lewandowski provides
the visitors with 50 yard-line seats. At Manhattan, how
ever, the situation is different. The best seats given to Ne
braska students were on the 10 yard-line. I think other Big
Seven schools should afford us the same courtesies that
A. J. and the other Husker powers are charitable enough to
give.
queen.
Among the features of the
dance were instructions in square
dancing in the Union basement
and a new system of "job classifi
cation whereby each student will
register for the particular phase
of activity he wishes to concen
trate on for the evening.
During the afternoon a relay
meet between members of the
different classes was held, with
the sophomores as defending
champions.
In the East it was Navy 28

railed an upset. Penn State, Ne

Injuries have failed to plague
the Nittany Lion and the indica
tions are that the team will be in
better physical condition than
they were against Boston College
last Saturday.
Nebraska has found another de
fensive standout in Tracy Busch
from Pender. Busch was given
much praise for his outstanding
work against the K-Staters.
This Saturday's game with Penn
State will begin a four-year series
with the Lions coming to Lincoln
next year.
