Suponchick Leads
Way To l-M Crown
By DEL RASMUSSEN I Monday night the Ep's were pitted
Edition Sports Editor against the Newman Club men,
The Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
has again emerged from the Intr-
mural Touch Football tournament
as champions of the University.
The Ep's, romped over Newman
Club Monday evening to snare the
coveted crown for the second con
secutive season.
The toughest team the Ep's en
countered through the playoffs was
in the quarter-finals when they met
the Phi Psi's. This game was tied
at the end of the regulation play
ing time and had to be played
off by yardage gained at the end
of four downs for each team.
The Phi Psl's took the ball first
and, in darkness, lost four yards.
The Sig Ep's then simply tried
(our consecutive quarterback
neaks for no gain but a win, 8-7,
and the right to compete in the
semi-finals of the tourney. In that
game the 16th Street boys got their j
touchdown on an end run by Gene
Suponchick to tally.
The semi-finals consisted of the
Sigma Phi Epsilon-Canfield game.
The Canfield boys were no match
for the offensive minded En's and
the game was turned into a rout
by the end of the half. The final
score was 30-0, Sig Ep's favor.
Their touchdowns were accounted
for by Suponchick, Pinkston, and
Mason. Three of the touchdowns
were ran by the quarterback
smoothy. Gene Suponchick. H i s
runs were 40, 35, and 20 yards
respectively. Then the former
Grand Island quarterback passed
to Darrel Pinkston, a former team
mate, for six points and flipped
another aerial to Rick Mason for
the final tally. I
In the final contest played last
all-Independent champs.
The first chapter of
the ball
game proved to be a defensive
battle for both clubs as neither
could negotiate the ball into scor
ing position and they repeatedly
had to relinquish control of the
ball to the other team.
Film Shows
Illegal Play
For Kansas
Bus Mertes, Kansas State's head
football coach, is rather uphappy
this week because of movies he
attended at the beginning of this
week.
After watching game movies of
the Kansas-Kansas State game in
which the Wildcats were defeated
13-7, Coach Mertes, together with
Head Kansas Coach Chuck Mather,
said that a 73-yard touchdown pass
from Kansas quarterback Duane
Morris to Don Feller should have
been called back.
The third quarter play, unreeled
when Kansas was trailing 7-0,
was apparently an "impromptu"
production and was staged with
illegal receivers downfield.
The record book will state Kans
as edged Kansas State 13-7 but
the two coaches of both teams
said that the score might have
been much different had the il
legal tactics by the Kansas play
ers been called by the game officials.
The second period proved lucra
tive for the Eps, however, as they
pushed across a tally to put them
selves ahead 6-0. In that quarter
the Sig Ep's moved to the Newman
Club's five yard line on a pass
from Rowley to Pinkston but there
the rally ended as a stout New
man line held for four downs and
the Ep's gave up the ball. But the
Newmans could not move the ball
either and after four futile tries
had to punt and from their the
Ep's started in motion. Down the
field they came and a Rowley
to Mason pass did the trick to
score and the Sig Ep's led 6-0
when the PAT was no good.
The third quarter also provided
the 16th Street men a chance to
score and they did on a pass from
Suponchick to Fager. The New
mans had been forced to kick and
the Ep's again had started rolling.
A pass from Suponchick to Mason
put the ball on the mid-stripe.
Three plays later they had crossed
the goal line for the score but
again the extra point was no good
and they led 12-0.
The fourth quarter showed the
strength of the Newmans when
they pushed across a TD in that
period but the Sig Ep's were too
strong for them.
At the start of the final frame
it looked like the men from Sigma
Phi Epsilon fraternity might turn
this game into another rout as they
had been doing. A pass from Su
ponchick to Mason was good for
the six-pointer but it was nullified
because of a penalty.
At this point in the game the
Newmans started their scorine
machine and handily pushed across
a six-pointer on a pass play from
Kirk to Krueger. The extra point
was good to make the score a little
more even and still give either
a chance to win. But the Ep's
weren't to be denied their laurals
and they came roaring back down
the field in a few short plays to
score on an aerial from Supon
chick to Pinkston for their final
touchdown of the game. The PAT
was worth one point on a pass from
Gene to Rick Mason.
The Newmans started rolling
again but Pinkston intercepted a
pass on the 25 yard marker to
end the rally and the game to give
Sig Ep the undisputed title to the
crown.
The. Ep's were defeated only
once during the season in their
league. They were defeated in the
last game of league play by the
Sigma Nu's 6-0 In a tightly played j

Huskers rated ...
Reading the paper I found that
the Huskers, in their path of ter
rorizing the Big Eight Conference,
are rated in the nation's football
poll presented by the Williamson
System.
This system, out of the top 100
teams in the nation, has Nebras
ka rated close to the top if you
turn the ratings upside down.
Ninety-seven out of 100 teams
are rated above the Cornhuskers
this week. Such grid powers as
V.P.I., Hard. Sim., Lehigh, Trin
ity Aex. and Wake Forest rest
ahead of the Scarlet on the ratings.
Other notables of the gridiron
are also rated above the Huskers
in this system. The grid maulers
of Middle Tenn., Bowling Green,
Tufts, rnd Williams are also put
ahead of the Huskers slighting
this mid-western institution and
leaving a feeling of bias toward
the ratings.
This has not affected the stu
dent body's spirit whatsoever.

Say, that reminds me. I be
lieve that homecoming saw some
of the highest spirits that the
Huskers have witnessed. Up until
the momentous decision of kicking
a field goal, the crowd was doing
a fine job of cheering for the
home team but after that kick they
sobered up and left the game,
leaving the caretakers and
groundmen to sing the school
song .... they did a good job of
it too. I guess some of the dis
gruntled fans left in such a huff
they left their bottled cheers be

lofted the short pass to Feller in
two-hand, basket-fashion. Observ
ers said the play was designed for
Morris to either run himself, or

for the Topeka Capital, was the
first person to spot the error and
oe immediately contacted the
game officials who unanimously
declined comment.
Mather said Mertes was correct
In terming the play illegal, but
said it "was one of those things

Both coaches said KU linemen

a maneuver illegal on pass plays
unless the linemen are still in

Lew Burdette
To Sign For
Disk Contract
At the end of World Series play
this season the Milwaukee Braves
heralded pitcher Lew Burdette for
his work in the seven game con
test for the world championship.
Now the much praised Burdette
is going to try his hand at singing
since he has mastered the art of
pitching. Dot Records said it had
signed him to a recording con
tract. His first record: "Three
Strikes and You're Out" and on
the flip side he will produce "Mary
Lou."
It has been a dismal, weary
road for the University of Nebras
ka Cornhuskers in football this
fall.
After two near-misses against
Missouri and Kansas, the Huskers
were blanked by Iowa State.
The question which faces the
Husker coaches this week Ls
whether they can get the squad
off the floor for Colorado after
three heartbreakers.
It was failure to convert extra
points that killed the Huskers
against Missouri and Kansas. First
half fumbles and penalties stopped
them against an Iowa State squad
which was ready. Nebraska had
the ball only 18 times in the first
half against the Cyclones and that
total included three punts.
The Colorado-Nebraska series
has become one of the highlights
on the Husker schedule since the
two teams started facing each oth
er at the outset of the 1948 season.
Before tiiat year the two grid
clubs had not met since 1907 when
the Huksers rambled 22-8.
The Cornhuskers hold a narrow
edge in the 15 games played with
the Buffaloes. The Huskers have
won 8, lost 6 and tied 1.
Nebraska this season has been
unable to score more than two
touchdowns a game and against
the offensively-minded Buffs it is
doubtful, according to the Husker
staff, whether this will be enough
to offset the speedy Buff backs.
"We'll have to play better than
we have at any time this season
if we win this one," Coach Bill
Jennings said.
The Huskers came out of the
Iowa State game with only the
usual bumps. Roger Brede, sopho
more end, has a leg hurt and Art
Klein, senior guard, a charley
horse, but both should be ready for
the Saturday test, Trainer Paul
Schneider said.
In the statistics column Jerry
Brown holds an edge for rushing
in eight games played. Brown,
all-Big Seven fullback last year
and one of the leading contenders
this year has a total rushing yard
age of 272 which is 34 yards per
game.
In the total offense column
Brown and Naviaux are both tied
for the lead, each with 272 yards.
All of Brown's yards were covered
via the turf but Naviaux has com
pleted seven passes for 98 yards
and has covered 174 yards in the
ground to push his total up to
that of Brown's.
The overall statistics column
shows that Nebraska has the lead
over the combined statistics of
their eight opponents in only four
efforts. These are passes inter
cepted, punts, punt average, and
fumbles.
The Huskers have averaged 7.J
points per game so far this year,
while their opponents have aver
aged 23 points a game.
The Huskers will surely have
to improve a few of these columns
in order to get past the Buffs
who are one of the best squads
in the Big Eight on defense and
have averaged well over 20 points
per game this season.
