What's NU In Sports?
Butt Win Over It-State
Would Help Aft Situation
With the passing of another week of football, Nebraska's chances
of competing in the Orange Bowl grow brighter and brighter. With
their win over Kansas, and the Missouri-Colorado game ending in a
19-19 deadlock, the only apparent team to stand in the Cornhusker's
way is Kansas State. If KS should end in a tie with NU for the Big
Seven, the Wildcats would go on the basis of their 7-3 win over Ne
braska. However, if they should lose to CU, then it would be hello
Miami for NU fans. Under the new ruling this year, if two teams
finish in a deadlock, and one team should have an edge over another
in season play, then the winner would go. This eliminates the flip
of the coin, used in the past by Big Seven members.
Jayhawks Tough
The KU affair last Saturday saw a Jayh'awk team try to pull
the upset of the year. For one half, the Kansans looked as though
they were going to do the trick. The Huskers started the 'scoring bar
rage that saw nine men cross the final mark. The Hawks, winless in
seven tries this year, were really high for the contest. They refused
to play dead for the highly favored Huskers. The Nebraskans finally
showed their superiority and won in a breeze. Don Hewitt looked very
well in playing end. It was his reception of a Don Erway aerial that
scored the tie-breaking touchdown.
Big Seven Predictions
Oklahoma 27-Missouri 14 The Sooners will have a much easier time
with Mizzou than they did against CU.
Oklahoma A&M 21-Kansas 13 The Jayhawks could be on their way
after the Nebraska game, but the Aggies will be tough at Stillwater.
Kansas State 27-Iowa State7 The Wildcats will use this one to warm
up for the Colorado game the following Saturday.
Nebraska 20-Pittsburgh 14 The Cornhuskers won't spoil the Home
coming. Just Around Corner
It doesn't seem possible, but basketball is just around the corner.
About six weeks from now, the season will open for Jerry Bush's
cagers. Willard Fagler will lead the charges of cagers who reported
to Bush yesterday. Two big losses will be Fred Seger and Bill Johnson.
Around the nation, it looks like La Salle will again be the top
powerhouse in the nation. Returning to La Salle will be their top
performer of 1951-52-53, Tom Gola. The amazing center completely
stole the basketball scene last year. He led his quintet to wins in the
PJ.U.a.a. and JM.l.T. Another east
ern five that will rank high in the
country is Duquesne. Leading the
Dukes charges this year will be
Dick Ricketts and Si Green.
In the Big Ten Minnesota and
Iowa will battle it out for top hon
ors. Indiana, last year's title hold
ers, will have Don Schlunt back,
but the loss of Bob Leonard, Ducj
Farley and Charlie Kraak will be
too much for the Hoosiers to make
up. The Gophers big hope this
year lies on the back of center
Dick Garmaker.
In Big Seven
In the Big Seven, Colorado and
Missouri look like the teams to
beat. Bob Reiter, big 6-8 all-conference
center will again lead the
Tiger charges. He will be joined
by Norm Stewart, Lloyd Elmore,
Med Park and Rich Reichart. This
was the same line-up that downed
KU 76-67 to drop the Jayhawks
into a tie with CU for the lead.
Utal) will once again be a na
tional powerhouse. For Jack Gard
ner, Gary Bergen and Art Bunte
will be eligible for competition.
Bergen is a K-State transfer and
Bunte moved to Utah from Colo
rado. Both men were big guns at
their former schools.
Ameche's Rushes
Set NCAA Mark
Alan Ameche, workhorse on Wis
consin's football team since 1951,
owns the NCAA's new four-year
rushing mark today and with two
more games to play can build his
total even higher.
The 21-year-old Kenosha, Wis.,
senior surpassed Ollie Matson's
mark of 3,166 last Saturday as the
Badgers defeated Northwestern,
34 to 13.

Husker Willie Greenlaw
Has Bright Future, Past
By DAN CAMPBELL
Sports Staff Writer
Early in the fourth quarter of
this year's Colorado game, Ne
braska fans who had followed the
Cornhuskers to Boulder thought
they were seeing All-American
Bob Reynolds in action again.
It wasn't Reynolds, though, but
sophomore halfback Willie Green
law who picked up a wild pitchout
several yards behind the line of
scrimmage, dodged away from
five, tacklers, picked up some
blocking, and raced 69 yards to
score.
This run, had it not been nulli
fied bv a clipping penalty, would
have put the Huskers ahead byj
two touchdowns. Willie later made
up for this, however, by scamper
ing eleven yards to tally the clinch
ing TD.

trouble behind the line of scrim

tips the scales at 192, is running
up an outstanding record as a
sophomore.
Portland Product
Greenlaw was born and raised in
Portland, Maine. He attended Port

piled a phenomenal record in ath
letics. Lettering four years each in
football, basketball, and baseball,
Willie was an All-State backfield

NU Wins Fourth Big
Dangerous Panthers
By "COKE" FRIEDMAN
Sporto Staff Writer
Like a father trying to stop his
college-boy son from going to a
bar on the day of his 21st birth
day, so the Kansas Jayhawkers
found it equally impossible to stop
the Nebraska Cornhuskers from
reaching their goal, the Orange
Bowl. But like the father who
still has some authority over his
son, so the Kansas Jayhawkers
made sure that the Nebraska
Cornhuskers wouldn't reach their
goal by the easiest way.
In a game described by some
as a tennis match, because of the
vast amount of yardage accumu
lated by both teams in opposite
directions, the Nebraska Corn
huskers further sank the Kansas
Jayhawkprs into the cellar of the
Big Seven Conference with a 41
20 decision over the lads from
Lawrence.
61 Points
The total number of points
scored by the two teams, 61, tells
quite clearly the type of a game
that was played between the
teams on the day of the Kansas
Homecoming.
Once again it was the "Fear
some Foursome," of Dan Brown,
Ron Clark, Willie Greenlaw and
Bob Smith who shredded the line
of the Jayhawkers to the tune of
329 net yards gained via the
ground. Nebraska's total number
oi yards gained by rushing, 416,
almost doubled the amount gained
by Kansas.

tackle, and that was the end of
it. Though he didn't realize the
extent of the injury immediately,
X-rays disclosed the fracture.
This was a blow to both Deines
and the team. Even though he
was only a sophomore, he was
slated for action. The experience
would have been to his benefit
next year.
Thus, here are two men who
gave their arms in the line of
duty for Nebraska. Neither man
attracted much attention around
the campus, both men play key
roles in the Cornhusker success
story, one in competition and one
in spirit.

The first of Nebraska's six
touchdowns came in the first
quarter with Bruising Bob Smith
going the last 13 yards for the
TD, aided by a vicious block by
Willie Greenlaw. Smith kicked the
I extra point and the score stood
at 7-0 but the enraged Jayhawks
came right back and scored a TD
and a extra point.
It was then time for the Husk
ers to show off their offense and
that they did, as they marched 59
yards down the field to the one
foot line where Bob Smith dove
over for the score. Smith missed
the extra point this time, and the
score stood Nebraska 13, Kansas
7.
Kansas, trying .hard to win their
first game of the year for the
23,000 Homecoming fans, fought
right back and scored on a 15
yard end run, and then converted
the extra point for a 14-13 lead.
Erway Fakes
Nebraska's next touchd own
came on a "fooler" play, with
quarterback Don Erway faking a
handoff to his backs charging into
the line, and then lofting a pass
to End Don Hewitt who was all
alone in the end zone. The Husk
ers successfully made the point
after touchdown, and the score at
the end of the first half stood
Nebraska 20, Kansas 14.
The second half was only three
minutes old when Nebraska in
creased its lead to 27-14. The
Scarlet and Cream marched 75
yards in only five plays, Ron
Clark running out of the arms of
two tacklers on a 37-yard scoring
dash.

Senior Halfback Korinek
In Third Season For NU
By DAN CAMPBELL
Sports Staff Writer
One of the big sparks in the
Cornhusker backfield this year is
Dennis "The Menace" Korinek,
5-10, 170-pound halback from Ulys
ses. Korinek, who is a leading ground
gainer for Nebraska, has speed and
elusiveness, which, combined with
his uncanny ability to play his in
terference perfectly, enable him
to get away repeatedly for long
runs. His 70-yard TD scamper was
the spark that set off the Husker
explosion in the Iowa State game,
and his beautiful punt return of 45
yards set up a score against Ore
gon State.
Third Year
This is Korinek's third season
on the Nebraska varsity. As a
sophomore and again as a junior
he played outstanding ball at the
halfback position, lettering both
years.
Dennis is a product of six-man
football. At Ulysses High he let
tered four years and was selected

Johnson Scores
Leading only 27-20 at the end of
the third quarter, the Huskers still
had plenty to worry about, but
Harry Johnson ended the sus
pense by going over from five
yards out, thus making the score
34-20 after Bob Smith successfully
converted the point after touch
down. The outstanding play on
this series of downs was a play
featuring Dan Brown and Bob
Smith. Brown ran on the option
play, and as he was being tackled
he lateraled to Smith who ran
down to the KU five yard line,
the play covering 24 yards over
all. Bob Oberlin's recovery of a
fumble on the Kansas 30 set the
stage for the last Husker touch
down. Don Erway sneaked over
from two yards out to cap the
scoring for the Huskers. Erway
also kicked the extra point and
the final score read Nebraska 41,
Kansas 20.
Line Shines
Nebraska's line on offense wai
outstanding, with such notables
as Andy Loehr, Charlie Bryant,
Don Glantz, Bill Holloran and Bob
Wagner opening tremendous holes
in the Jayhawk line.
Rex Fisher, junior quarterback,
on his first offensive play of the
1954 season ran for 47 yards from
the Xansas 49 to the KU two
where time ran out before the
Huskers could push across an
other touchdown.
Nebraska's 451 net yards gained
by rushing and passing was well
above their average number of
yards gained via rushing and pas

senior years. It was during these
two seasons that the Ulysses teams
