Two men were moved up from tho Husker B squad for Monday's drill. They are Bill Thayer, Rapid City, S. D., halfback, and George Mink, Omaha end.

Ace SHELTON The Benchwarmer By MARSHALL KUSIINER Assistant Sports Editor Just what the doctor ordered. In a nutshell that describes Nebraska's win over Iowa State last Saturday, its first of the season. Cornhusker grid fans who made the trek to Ames reported that Nebraska's blocking was as crisp as that of some of the scarlet pre-war teams. Jerry Mlnnlck, sophomore defensive tackle, proved that he is no flash In the pan. Ills outstanding play of the day, of course, was breaking up an Iowa State statue of liberty play, grabbing the ball and running It over for a touchdown. Besides this outstanding bit of play, Mlnnlck consistently downed Cyclone ball carriers and broke up Iowa State plays. He had an ample amount of help from Don Boll, Bob Mullen, Carl Brasee, Ed Husmann nnd Dick Goll. The Iowa State encounter also indicated that Nebraska's pass defense is improving. In Cyclone passer Dick Mann, the Buskers faced one of the top aerialists in the Big Seven. Despite tho fact that Courtesy I.imnln Slur. JOHN BORDOGNA he was the main cog in the Iowa State otTcnsive machine, NU pass defenders managed to restrict his effectiveness in the second half. For all-around purposes, the Nebraska defensive platoon played its best game against Iowa State, although it had turned in some credible performances earlier in the season. The thing that really raised some eyebrows was the poise that sophomore quarterback John Bordogna exhibited behind the spread formation which Nebraska employed. He ran the team like a vet eran, and his passing was the main weapon in the Husker attack. Considered something nf a disappointment in earlier games, Bor dogna erased any doubts about his ability against the Cyclones. He said the spread formation made his passing chores easier than does the T formation. This concurs with the opinion of Sammy Vacant!, Nil quarterback during the middle forties, who also had difficulty with the T. Ray Novak, fullback, also proved that he is a canable replace ment for Nick Adduci, who was lost power, Novak also was one of the top pass receivers of the day. He is now the top scorer on Hill Glassford's team. In gaining 80 yards on 10 carries, Bob Reynolds, gave shadow like performances of the running that made him an All-American in 1950. In boiling the whole situation down, It can be said that both the defense and offense teamed up to play good ball. This one win may be the thing needed to explode the true Cornhusker potential wide open. Three games remain on the Husker slate. They include Colorado, Oklahoma and Miami. While all three of these schools possess good teams, Nebraska may be in a position to give any or all of them a long afternoon on the gridiron. Eddie Crpwder Just Misses Parillis National Passing Mark Eddie Crowder, Oklahoma's skillful young quarterback from Muskogee, Okla., had a national1 record in his grasp during Okla-j homa's 55-14 defeat of Colorado' at Norman, Okla. Eddie pitched four touchdown forward passes in the first 17 minutes and 16 seconds of last Saturday's game asainst the Golden Buffaloes. With only 2:26 of the second quarter gone, Crowder had completed five of five for 167 yards and four Oklahoma touchdowns. The top mark in the records for one game is five touchdown passes, made twice last year by Vito Parilli, Kentucky's fine quar- terback, while Kentucky was overwhelming Cincinnati 41-7 and North Dakota 83-0. After pegging four touchdown passes in 17:16 against Colo- rado, Crowder had 43 minutes ! and 44 seconds nearly three full quarters left in which to fracture Parilli's record. On the Oklahoma sideline, Coach Bud Wilkinson was noti fied by press box telephone of Crowder's close proximity to Parilli's national record. But the Sooner coach elected to pass up the opportunity. He soon withdrew Crowder to give valuable quarterbacking ex perience to two sophomore signal-callers, Jack Van Pool and Jack Ging. Crowder went back in for part of the last half, but con centrated on Oklahoma's rushing offensive. He threw only two ad ditional passes in the game, hit ting End Jack Lockett for eight yards with one. Lockett dropped the other one, narrowly missing making a shoestring catch. Mr Here's a pair that geta along-famously in any college man's wardrobe. The Manhattan Burt is in the ever-popular white oxford cloth with a softly rolled button-down collar.

Besides his runnine Eddie missed Parilli's national mark because he and his coach decided to ignore it, but his four touchdown pitches with the game only 17 minutes and 16 seconds old, and in a total elapsed time of only 13 min utes 50 seconds from the first touchdown pass at 3:26 of the first quarter to the fourth touchdown pass at 2:16 of the second quarter, is believed a feat no other collegiate passer has ever approached in 45 years of American football since the forward pass was first legalized in 1906. Okies Give Safety Pins New Use A safety pin will be part of the uniform worn by Oklahoma's two mile team in all future races, says Coach John Jacobs. During last week's narrow 30-25 win from Oklahoma A&M's run ner here, Bruce "Bulldog" Drum mond, Oklahoma ace of last year, faded back to fifth place when his running pants kept slipping down. Drummond was so busy clutching at his falling trunks that he couldn't concentrate on the race. On the fifth lap somebody handed him an open safety pin borrowed from a woman specta tor. Pinning up his silks, Drum mond rallied, finishing third in the race. "I otta make him run in a union suit," growled Coach Jacobs. $Au&& i PATH E I Jack Fuller Paces Intramural The intramural bowling tourna- mcnt moved into the fourth week, with Zeta Beta Tau Delta Up silon, Delta Sigma Pi, and Delta iTheta Phi leading their respective leagues.
