They go together like salt and
pepper.
That's the way the Nebraska
football team describes Dave
Noble and Larry Franzen, co
managers of the 1951 gridders.
And there is good reason for
applying that description to Noble
and Franzen. Both dress alike,
are fraternity brothers and room
mates in Phi Kappa Psi, and both
are juniors in business adminis
tration and have two classes to
gether. Or as the boys phrase it,
"We are just good buddies."
Both have an excellent back
ground for their positions. Noble
was a quarterback at Omaha Cen
tral, while Franzen served as a
signal caller for Holdrege during
his prep days.
Ask either how he likes man
aging the football team and both
chime simultaneously that "it's
one of the greatest thriils of our
college life."
They take a lot of ribbing from
the players about "having a soft
job and leading an easy life as
team managers."
Despite this jesting on the part
of the team. Noble and Franzen
have a lot of work and responsi
bility. Among their chores are taking
care of the football equipment,
showing the team movies of pre
vious games and looking after

addition, they also keep track of

Both agree that they "get their

This year, the two alternate on
making out-of-state jaunts.
Both are happy to be carrying

Noble and Franzen began their

All the conference teams have
had their taste of competition and
for several, it was rather a bit
ter taste in comparison with the
sweet predictions and pictures
drawn by the numerous pre-sea-
son magazines.
It doesn't take too much, inves
tigation to find out that the Ok
lahoma Sooners and Kansas Jay
hawkers are the only two teams
that can boast a clean record.
Since the advent of football
throughout the conference, Mis
souri Valley Intercollegiate Ath
letic association officials, com
monly referred to as the Big Sev
en conierence, nas Deen coming
out with a number of interesting
facts and figures on conference
teams.
A quick look at the leading
ball carriers in the conference
has seemingly emitted the
names of the pre-season hot
shots. Billy Vessels of Oklaho
ma, Bob Reynolds of Nebraska,
Dick Heatly of Oklahoma and
Merwyn Hodel of Colorado are
all missing from the list of the
conferences top 14 ball toters.
Vessels didn't play too much
against William and Mary, nor
did Heatly. Reynolds has been out
with a shoulder separation and
Hodel has been running at third
team fullback with the Buffaloes.
Regardless of these legal excuses,
players like Laughling of Kansas
and Wren of Missouri are going
to make it plenty tough on the
stars.
Nebraska's Tom Carodine is the
only Husker name that appears
in the leading ball carriers. Caro
dine carried 17 times against Tex
as Christian and picked up 101
yards for an average of 5.9 yards
per try.
In the passing department, Zack
Jordan and Jerry Robertson head
the list. Jordan has completed 20
of 43 heavesfor 303 yards, while
Robertson flipped 9 competitions
of 16 attempts for 248 yards.
John Bordogna ranked 13th
and Don Norris 14th in this de
partment. Bordogna completed
four out of nine 41 yards while
Norris hit three out of seven
for 32 yards.

The Benchwarmer
By MARSHALL KUSHNER
Assistant Sports Editor
It isn't who writes it that matters, it's where it's written. That's
just about the best way to describe the present scramble for the
mythical state high school championship.
The Omaha and Lincoln papers seem to differ in their opinions
as to who should be wearing the first place prep rating in the state.
The Lincoln papers will tell you that Lincoln high school should be
heading the list and the Omaha publication recognizes the Omaha
North squad.
It was justt one week ago that this column climbed on the pro
verbial limb and predicted the order which high school teams would
end up in at the end of the year.
Lincoln high's Links still have our support for conquering the
state championship title. The Links moved on to drop Sioux City
Central 13-0 and practically assure themselves of top spot money.
The Links cleared two previous opponents off the schedule in
the form of Omaha Central and Sioux City East. The Pfeiffmen still
face a plenty rugged schedule of foes this season. Omaha North and
Northeast of Lincoln will be games of top state billing that remain
for the tough red and black unit to face.
Edged out for first place in our ratings is the speedy metropolis
entry, Omaha North. The Vikings smacked Omaha Tech 39-0, which
cause Maroon rooters to look back upon the glorious era of Singers,
Saders and Novaks and shake their heads.
The top Omaha eleven this year has amassed two wins thus
far in the young season with no setbacks. The Vikings now will be
gin concentrating their power and resources for the remainder of their
inter-city skirmishes.
Omaha Holy Name gets the nod for third place. Two victories
over class B competition and a sensation triumph over Northeast
accounts for the Ramblers high rating this week. We predicted
the Ramblers to finish second to Lincoln high in the final ratings.
Fremont's Tigers have been mopping up their competition in
their first three outings. Last Friday the Tigers thumped Lincoln
Northeast, who seems to be the goat for most of the state's uprising
teams, by a 28-13 count. We picked Fremont to pluck off fourth place
honors at the end of the grid term.
North Platte and Grand Island are waging a battle for the upper
bracket and because of the Platters undefeated record, they are given
our edge for fifth ranking this week. The Islanders have dropped
one contest this year to Omaha North, but hit Columbus 21-6 to re
gain their stride.
At the conclusion of the season, we tabbed the Islanders the
favorite for fifth place, while 1he Platters will drop back to seventh.
Sandwiched beween these outstate teams is Omaha South. The
Packers are a die-hard aggregation and by knocking off Omaha
North, could not only cause a mild sensation but also walk off with
some unexpected laurels.
As it stands, we figure the Packers will wilt under the heavy fire
of their Omaha rivals and thus, they have been planed In the sixth
place rung.
We thought we were a little more farsighted than most selectors
when we awarded Omaha Central'. Eagles a place in our top ten
teams. The Eagles were placed in eighth spot when they had a rec
ord of one loss; that one to Lincoln high, 32-13.
In the game of the week, we'll take a superior Lincoln offensive
alignment over a graduation riddled Northeast team. If our records
indicate correctly LINCOLN 20, NORTHEAST 13.

Truth is stranger than fiction.
Thirty-five thousand witnesses to
a baseball game played Wednes
day can testify to this.
At the Polo Grounds in New
York City, in the most fantastic
finish in history, the New York
Giants dramatically snatched the
National League pennant Irom the
clutches of their arch-rivals, the
Brooklyn Dodgers, in a ninth in
nine rally that has never been
equaled in the long annals of
baseball history.
Bob Thompson, the powerful
Glasgow, Scotland, immigrant,
provided the impetus for the
Giants' ultimate triumph. With
one mighty swing of his bat,
the lanky outfielder turned third
baseman converted imminent
defeat into glorious victory.
Going into the fateful ninth
frame, the Dodders held a seem
ingly comfortable 4-1 lead. With
big Don Newcombe smoking his
fast one past the Giant swingers
throughout the afternoon, it looked
as though the New Yorkers valiant
effort to claim the flag was going
to fall short.
The Dodgers opened the scor
ing in the initial frame by count
ering a single run. Sal Maglie,
the Giants 23 game winner, struck
out lead-off man Carl Furillo.
Pee Wee Reese and Duke Snider
worked Maglie for successive free
passes. Clean-up man, jacKie
Robinson, then slapped a single to
send Reese in with the first run.
Maglie then settled down to re
tire the side without further damage.
Through the next six innings,
Maglie and Newcombe matched
each other pitch for pitch in a
tight duel of pitching mastery.
The Giants broke Newcombe's
spell in the seventh inning as
they brought home a single run
to even the count. Monte Irvin,
Giant big gun, doubled to put
himself in scoring position.
Whitey Lockman dropped a bunt
and all hands were safe when
Dodger catcher, Rube Walker's
throw to third in an effort to
catch Irvin was late. Thomp
son followed with a deep out
field fly to score Irvin.
The Bums retaliated in the top
half of the eighth by countering
three runs to drive Maglie from
the hill. Furillo lined to the pitch
er to open the inning. Reese and
Snider followed with back to back
singles, putting men on first and
third.
Reese scored on a wild pitch by
Maglie, and Robinson walked.
Andy Pafko singled scoring Snider
with the second run. After Larry
Jansen, Maglie's pitching succes
sor, got Gil Hodges, Billy Cox
singled to send Robinson home
with the Dodgers fourth run of
the game.
But the fighting Giants were
not to be denied. Captain Alvin
Dark, New York shortstop, opened
the inning with a single. Don
Mueller followed with a one base
blow off first baseman Hodge?
glove, and the Giant fans began
stirring with a faint glow of hope,
as Irvin strode to the plate.
But the Giant left fielder
could do no better than a weak
pop-up to Hodges. Lockman
then lined a Newcombe curve
ball to left field scoring Dark
and sending Mueller to third
with Lockman taking second on
the throw-in from Pafko. Mueller
injured his ankle sliding into
third, and had to be carried from
th field on a stretcher.
Lockman's single brought the
exit of Newcombe, whose gallant
elfort to bring the Dodgers home
in front was loudly applauded as
he trudged to the clubhouse
Manager Charlie Dressen sig
naled for Ralph Branca to come
in Irom the bullpen. Branca nad
been defeated by the Giants in the
opening game of the playoff, two
homerun balls proving to be his
downfall. Ralph should have
stood in bed, for the gopher ball
returned to haunt him and his
teammates.
Thompson, first man to face the
Dodger right-hander, watched a
fast ball clip the inside corner for
called strike. The next pitch
was right down the slot, and
Thompson promptly drove it into
the upper left field bleachers.
The boys from Coogan'a Bluff
had their first championship
since 1937, and they had to come
a long ways to win it Behind
13V& games in August, the
Giants methodically cut the
Dodger lead, until on the last
day of the regular season the
standings showed a tie for first
place, thus forcing the third
playoff in major league history.
