Riddled by many national news
papers for their poor showing
against Duke in the Orange Bowl
classic, the University of Kebras
ka Comhuskers returned to the
Husker campus late Monday. Un
der the sunny skies at Miami, the
Duke Blue Devils, champions of
the Atlantic Coast Conference, out
played NU in almost every phase
of the game to roll past the Big
Eed, 34-7.
For awhile in the third period.
Busker fans had something to
cheer about as the score stood
14-7 in favor of Duke. On a quick
kick by the Devils, a fluke rofl
ctf the football gave NU the ball
on Duke's 36. Bob Smith and
Don Comstock carried the ball
towards the Duke goal and Corn
stock cracked over from three
yards out for six points. Smith
added the extra point and the pos
sibility of a tie loomed big in the
minds of the loyal Husker follow
ers. Dsfce Strikes Back
That thought of a be of even the
remote possibility of a win by the
two touchdown underdogs was
quickly erased as the Devils coun
tered within the next five minutes
for another six points. At this
point, the Huskers fell apart and
as the score indicates they were
trampled.
Jerry Barger, Duke's fantastic
quarterback was by far the out
standing player on the field. He
As the Intramural basketball

Quarter At
fooled the Huskers on the field
and many of the fans in the
stands. Barger completed seven
out of thirteen passes, one for a
touchdown, for 84 yards. The Hus
kers on the other hand were able
S to complete only one out of nine
flips for 25 yards.
Smith led the Nebraska attack
with a slim S yards.
Because of the extememly hot
weather Coach Glassford changed
and interchanged bis players
often but to no avail The
story was the same. Duke just bad
too much speed and bustle for
the Huskers to cope with.
Even with all of the pre-game
talk about a second rate team and
the possibility of a financial flop,
nearly 69,0009 fans crowded into
the Orange Bowl for a record
crowd.
Tie
Nebraska won the toss and elec
ted to take a slight wind advant
age. The Huskers kicked off and
the game got underway. The first
quarter ended in a scoreless tie,
but the fans anticipated the Duke
march as on the first series of
plays in the second quarter. Duke
slammed over the Husker goal for j
six points with Barger tallying. It ;
looked like the half might end up j
that ay as the Huskers failed on j
two drives into Duke territory.!
With very little time left to play;
in the first half a Husker pass!

and a 14 point halftime bulge.
VU Seres
The second half was a different
story. After a double exchange of
the ball, 14 more points were ad
ded to the game's total, 7 apiece
for Duke and NU. The third quar
ter ended with the score 20-7 in
favor of Duke and the Devils with a
first and ten on NUs one yard
line.
The Devils added this TD and
one more to end the scoring and
the Nebraska Cornhusker cause,
34-7.
Besides the one exciting moment
in the third quarter, Husker fans
also bad a chance to cheer at
halftime as the band made a very
impressive appearance along with
other spectacular festivities.

activities and on the gaoje will

Nebraskan.

'Our Heads
Are Bloody,
Not Bowed'
. . . Bush
Returning from the southern road
trip and the Big Seven Tournament
at Kansas City, Nebraska basket
ball coach Jerry Bush says, "Our
heads are bloody but unbowed."
Bush commented that the Husk
ers have not been doing badly on
offense, but leave a lot to be de
sired defensively. Before the tour
ney they were averaging 80 points
a game. Atone stretch during the
Bradley game, which Nebraska
won, S3-6S, the Huskers scored 50
points to Bradley's 15, bringing
the score to 66-41 after trailing
2S-16.
Out of the first eight games, Ne
braska has played one at home.
Both the coach and the players are
thankful to get back to the Coli
seum floor, where they play Iowa
State tonight.

Big 7 Opener
Cagers Open Wifh
Iowa State Tonight
After a disastrous two-game trip
through the South where they
bowed to Alabama 88-76 and Mem
phis State 86-79, and then dropped
three more games in the Big Seven
tourney at Kansas City, the Ne
braska Corah uskers open their
conference play tonight at 8 p.m.
when they meet the Iowa State
Cyclones in the Coliseum.
The visitors, boasting a record
of 5-2 thus far are possibly the big
surprise of the Big Seven to date.
The Iowa Staters, last in the
league last year and an overall
5-16 mark, began the 1954-55 sea
son under the direction of Bill
Strannigan, who replaced Clayton
Sutherland. The Cyclones opened
their season with a 78-60 win over
Carlton. They then went on to
down Denver, 80-59, Drake 72-53,
blasted Creighton 100-65, and were
downed by Bradley, 79-67. They
pulled the upset of the Conference
tourney when they squeezed by
previously unbeaten Kansas, 82-81.
Chet Duncun, 6-5 center set a new
Cyclone scoring mark by pouring
in 34 points. They bowed to Kan
sas State in the semi-finals 70-60,
and then upended Oklahoma 71-64
to walk off with third place hon
ors. Five Veterans
IS started the season with five
returning lettermen. They were
Barney Alleman and Duncun who
earned two and Don DeKoster,
Stan Frahm, and Larry Wetter,
who won one letter. Duncan, the
rangy senior pivot man, is averag
ing 21.1 points a contest. He scored
75 points during the three day
tourney. Despite bis size for a
pivot man, he operates with finese
from the post. He is deadly with
his book shot, and is uncanny with
his jump. Joining Duncan is Chuck
Vogt, a rangy 6-5 sophomore and
Stan Frahm at forwards, with
Gary Thompson and Wetter at
guards.
Thompson, a 5-10 sophomore is
the playmaker of the quintet, and
for a first-year man, handles him
self well. It was his six straight
free throws in the closing minutes
of the Kansas contest that turned
the upset over the Jayhawk five.
Wetter supplies a solid punch from
the outside. Both Vogt and Frahm
looked good up front.
For the Cornhuskers, they will
be going after their third win of
the campaign. They have lost six.
All Scholastic Team
Cornhusker
Named To
Bob Oberlin, senior center on
the University of Nebraska foot
ball team, was named on the first
all-scholastic team chosen in the
Big Seven Conference.
Concing evidence that brains and
brawn will mis was offered here
today by editors of the American
Peoples Encyclopedia who an
nounced the selection of the first
all-scholastic football squad ever
to be chosen in the Big Seven.
The question of bow good a foot
ball team can be put together
from among a group of scholars is
one that has made a good conver
sation piece for many years. The
team that the encyclopedia's edi
tors have chosen from this area
indicates that there isn't anything
about college athletics that can
keep a top player from earning
high scholastic ranking as well,
if be has the desire.
Top Linemea
This scholarly Big Seven aggre
gation boasts some of the confer
ence's top linemen and a touchdown-minded
backfield that would
give almost any team in the na
tion cause for alarm, sports ex
perts on the encyclopedia believe.
To top it off, it's a team of out
standing students, as well! Every
man boasts of a "B" average or
better for the timeh e has been
, in school and some of the touh-
j est academic specialties a student
id.l liiKi juc irjnociMcu.
Spearheading a 200-phis pound
line is Oklahoma's Cne senior end,
Carl Allison (3-jlus student). Alli
son broke into the Sooners' lineup
as a freshman (no small accom
plishment) and has stayed there
throughout four rugged seasons
against some of the finest teams
in the country. He was rated al
most equally gifted on offense and
defense and has received numerous
mentions on all-conference teams
this falL
At the opposite flank is big Jack
Hurley (B student) from Missouri.
A senior, the six-foot, two-inch,
200-pound, Hurley was one of the
bulwarks of the biggest and one
of the toughest forward walls in
the Big Seven this season.
Retaining Vets
Two juniors, who are going to
be around to haunt the opposition
again next season, were named to
the tackle positions on this brainy
eleven. Calvin Woodworth (B-plus
student), a 2G2-pound blockbuster
from Oklahoma, switched to tackle
from guard at mid-season a move
brought on by injuries to othar
Oklahoma players. It proved to be
a fortunate switch, as Woodworth
rapidly developed into one of the
most devastating blockers in the
conference and was being boomed
for all conference honors at the
end of the seaeson. Kansas State's
Frank Rodman (B student), a big
210-pounds more than adequately
For Jerry Bush's five, it will b
Stan Matzke and Rex Ekwall at
forwards, Willard Fagler at center,
and Duane Buel and Norm Coufal
at guards. Ekwall, a 6-4 sopho
more, has thus far carried tha
brunt of the Husker scoring attack.
Matzke, senior co-captain has been
rounding into shape after an elbow
injury against Iowa. The Huskers
have downed Bradley 93-68 and
South Dakota 87-51, and h?ve lost
to Iowa 84-61, Alabama, Memphis
State, Missouri 75-53, Colorado 83
47, and Kansas 6946. The two
common opponents for both IS and
NU, Bradley and Kansas, shows
the two schools splitting. The Cy
clones downed Kansas but bowed
to Bradley, while the Huskers
dumped Bradley but bowed to th
Hawks.
Lane Hot
In the opening round of the Big T
meet, Missouri disposed of Ne
braska and Oklahoma upset Colo
rado. Lester Lane led the Sooner
scoring attack with 31 points. Ha
won the scoring title last year. In
the second night of play, IS downed
KU and Kansas State roared by
California's guest team. In tha
semi-finals of the championship
bracket, Oklahoma met Missouri
and the Cyclones took on the K3
Wildcats. The Tigers, with Bob
Reiter pacing the attack, bumped
the Soccers 95-87, and KS raced
past Iowa State 70-60. Duncan
paced the Cyclones with 23 points.
In the consolation semi-windup,
Colorado poured it on NU, 89-47,
and California edged past Kansas
65-62. Bob McKeen, the Bears All
American was injured in the Kan
sas State game and didnt see ac
tion. The championship finals saw tha
MU five take command from tha
beginning and they coasted to their
title, downing Kansas State 89-71.
Med Park led the Bengal attack
with 24 points. The Cyclones gar
nered third place, downing Okla
homa 71-64. Thompson paced tha
Cyclones with 21 points and Lana
was held to nine.
Buffs Fifth
In the consolation finals, Colo
rado, won bowed to California in
their two previous meetings,
downed the Bears 6940 to taka
fifth place. Kansas staved off a
last minute Nebraska rally to down
them, 6946 for seventh place.
Bob Oberlin
Ail - Star Unit
takes care of the other tackle
position.
Missouri's Tigers, with two fin
B-plus students, dominate the
guard positions on the team, J. W.
Shively, an able defensive per
former throughout the season gets
one slot, while the other goes to
Norden Stefanides, a great of
fensive blocker. Both are seniors.
Engine Stadeais
At center is Bob Oberlin (B stu
dent) of Nebraska. A steady per
former throughout the season, tha
2&S-pound senior reached the
heights in the Colorado game
where his fierce linebacking paved
the way for the upset that even
tually sect the Cornhuskers to the
Orange BowL
The great Gene Calame (B stu
dent) of Oklahoma, heads the all
scholastic backfield. Like bis team
mate Allison, Calame has starred
for the Norman eleven since he
was a freshman and came to be
touted as one of the cation's great
est split-T quarterbacks and one
of the game's shrewdest play-callers.
During one stretch of his
career, Calame-directed Sooner
teams penerated to the opposition's
20-yard line 57 times and scored
on 53 occasions', injuries at mid
season stopped what would other
wise have been an almost sure
bid for All American recognitioa
by the slim, 170-pound star.
Two underclassmen who got bet
ter the longer the season lasted
and are being looked to for even
better things next fall, rate selec
tion at the halfback positions on
this team. Dona Lorenzen CB-plus
student) from Iowa State, came
fast at the end of the season to
wind up as one of his team's lead
ing scorers and may develop into
the climax-runner that every team
must have. Terry Mcintosh CB
plus student) proved to be the
bright spot in the otherwise dis
couraging season at Kansas. The
178-pound sophomore took over a
first-string assignment at mid-season
and was the Jayhawkers' No.
1 passer, punr and runner after
a few games.
IS Represented
Big Max Burkett (A student)
rounds out the backfield of full
back. The scholarly Iowa State
star led his team in scoring and
was considered to be perhaps one
of the finest linebackers in the
Big Seven during the 1354 seasoa.
He's a senior.
