TUESDAY. OCTORER 30. 1031, THE DATTT NERRASKAN TTTTCFE LANOUE LOST 10 NEBRASKA TEAM FOR 1 934 SEASON Bacfcfleld Ace Suffers Collar Bone Fracture During Gopher Practice. BTuLH CHANGES LINEUP XOams May Be in Left Half Position at Open of Pitt Game. Definite assurance was given Jwtwday that Jerry LaNoue is most likely lost to the Nebraska football team for the remainder tf the 1934 season. The fleet, jvlaner backfield ace Buffered a collar bone fracture in the week of practice preceding the Nebraska Minnesota tilt at which time it waa hoped that it would heal auf ficlently to enable him to partici pate against Pittsburgh. But all hopes were forsaken by Coach Bible's announcement that he will be unable to play, and "probably win not be available for the re mainder of the season," Monday. The Husker coaching staff, in Conference with the physicians. has decided that it were better not to risk permanent Injury by keep ing him on the sidelines this year. But next . With LaNoue definitely out of It, the Busker mentor must needs give up his plans of using Jerry to run one end, Lloyd Cardwell the other, and Ssm Francis to bolt through the center, a plan which has been formulating ever since LaNoue was injured, and ever since the sophomores, Cardy and Sam have whanged away so de7astating!y in recent contests. With Chief Bauer to complete the quartet, all seemed rosy for the Pitt game backfield, but plans win have to be altered accordingly, and the opening whistle may find Johnny Williams, the jack of all football trades, at the left half po sition. John took his turn last Saturday against Iowa State and E roved one of the most consistent uskers ground-gainers, especially on bucks through tackle. But he win have plenty of opposition from Bon Douglas, the Crete soph, and Bob Benson, Pender speed flash, who are anxious for a go at start log honors. Bam Francis, the 200 pound driving rod and defensive star against Iowa State, has recovered from what sport scribes were Oont to call the "sophomore jit luwi" and has turned into a line fttaaher of A-l quality. His punt mg featured the Iowa State con test, and his furious backing of the Baa prevented the Scarlet rampart from breaking In the first half, which they so obviously did in the tfecond. When he left the game, hobbling Pt n the bouldrs of two sturdy teammates, the Husker defense Cracked suddenly and completely. Sad the combination of Miller All ender rent the forwards for a down. But his ankle injury is not serious, to the great relief of thou sands of anxious Nebraska fans. Since it was the left ankle that was Injured, his portside kicking wUl be hampered, but another week should remedy that. His right ankle was not holding out as well as could be hoped, his injury having been double, but he will be ready for the Pittsburgh invasion In the prime of condition. The line emerged from the Iowa State conflict unscathed, although much work win have to be devoted to blocking and tackling in an open field, and to the defensive play of the right side. Open field work was not of the type to bring praise. The Huskermen missed their as signments on blocks and some tackles, while it was the right side of the line which suffered most from the jolting drives of the Cy clone backs. It was through a tig bole found there that Harold Mil ler whizzed down field for 45' yards, the longest run cf the day. Monday, with two weeks xn which to prepare for Pitt, was giv en over to a detailed study of the slow motion pictures of the Iowa etate-Nebraska game. Just criti cism and praise was bestowed by the coaches as the various plays and p layers flashed by on the sil ver screen. Coach Bible has two weeks in which to prepare for the mighty Golden Panthers, termed by some the best team in the East, and those two weeks will be spent be hind closed gates polishing up on the defense and offense, and the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. Saturday is an open date, but will b taken care of by the freshmen as Coach Bible himself and Bill Day scout the Pittsburgh team at Notre Dame. When - an opponent breaks j through the line, fumbles, one of the first men In the vicinity cf the J baQ is the hard-working, never tiring lad who holds down the pivot position. When be points at a cer tain part of the line, and bawuj -Watch 'em there!" to bis waiting mate, the play usually attempts to break through at that point And it is Frank Meier who U right there to see that everything is done correctly and to provide the extra . oor' tr it is necessary. When yardage is needed badly. just a few yards for a first down that w!3 mean a chance for more and a score. Chief Baur usually calls a play through the center, j Why Besu be knows he has a terrific smasher beck of fciio, , and a center who will clear the war and open a bole or know the reason why.

PORT TATIC y ARNOLD LEVINE When Big Bernle Masterson hung his moleskins and Red jersey on the peg after the Oregon State game in 1933, many were the long faces in the wake of Husker fol lowers. "Who's going to do our placekicking? By George, Bernie's been here so long and has been so dependable, and now he's gone, Why, there's not another within sight who can even come near matching Bernie. Coach, what are you going to do about that?" Those robust hangers-on of the Scarlet and Cream shook their heads in apathy and dismay. They pointed to the Iowa game, won by Bernie's unerring toe; to the Iowa game of the year previous, set on the right side by that same super intelligent toe. Who was going to kick those extra points that had meant so much in years gone past 7 That question hovered unan swered about the Husker camp for a long time. "Placektcker Wanted' signs were strewn about the place. My kingdom for a placekicker! An accurate one, One whose toe could send the pig skin swooping hrtween the cross bars fairly consistently. At last the coaches thought they had the problem solved. Sam Francis had shown adaptability at uie ari or sending me ball over for goals. The more he experimented, the more the Husker fans slapped each other on the back, and looked forward to some more of those one point victories, to some more end over end spinners between the up rights. And then disaster! The Wyo ming game, and Francis made only one out of five tries at goal. ine weDraskans couldn t under stand it. Maybe that p re-sea son stuff was a lot of ballyhoo. The coaches began looking around for more suitable material. But in practice the big Oberlin plunger kept right on with his deadly ac curacy, consistent in his achieve ments. Aha," said the wise boys, "he's got the sophomore jitters, inferi ority complex, and we r.eed psy chologists to solve the case." But no psychologists were needed. Overnight the big fullback decided that the sophomore jitters were a bad thing to have to get ahead in the football world. And he prompt ly proceeded to forget all about them. His punting Improved. His line plunging improved. The Minnesota game, and sport scribes began to take notice because of that long punt The Iowa game, and the fans absolutely sat up and hollered. Twice he layed the ball "in the groove" for two extra points after touchdowns, and those two extra points were the difference between a 14 to 13 victory and defeat That educated toe had found its place. He had done what Bernle Master son had done against the Iowana. That was enough for the Husker- itea. And then Iowa State came to town, riding the top of a big wave of glory after their 31 to 6 victory over Iowa U. " atch out Ne braska," said the Ftaunchest Scar let supporters. "This Iowa team mean business." To Sam Francis, business meant keeping that ball within bounds. and. when Lloyd Cardwell caught a pass and scored, he kept his rec ord since the Wyoming game clear by converting with that toe. Later, when Iowa State scored, Fred Poc'e failed, and Nebraska had triuwphed by one point the dif ference between Sam Francis'. highly educated digits and those of Fred Poole. Not that Poole is any slouch. He just couldn't connect Now there Is nobody who can displace likable, good natured Sam'l In the hearts of the Corn husker fans. "Btmie Masterson? He played last year. Yeah, he could boot 'em for points after touch downs, all rijrht But say, mister, did vou ever see Sam Francis kick?"

UU E TILTS LEAVE LEAD Last Saturday's Grid Games Baffle Statisticians and Dopcstcrs. Iowa State, after a heartbreak ing 7 to 6 Big Six grid debut in Memorial Stadium here Saturday, will entertain the Kansas Jay hawkers at Ames Saturday while Missouri, thumped once already in the loop, travels to Norman to do battle with the Soonera. Kansas and Oklahoma fought to a 7 to 7 tie last Saturday to further baffle statisticians and dopesters and ac complish very little in the way of endangering the position of the title-defending Cornhuskers. Nebraska grid patriots got down on their collective knees and plead twice Saturday as the Husk ers turned back a brilliant Cyclone bid by one point. Once the plead ing halted a 63-yard Cyclone march, and the other time it did no good as the Veenker machine punched a touchdown across by main force. It was Freddy Toole, Iowa State booter, who rubbed a throbbing pate the hardest Saturday night as he recalled the way his placekick sailed to one side of the uprights on his one extra point attempt. He has missed only one other such opportunity this fall and that was against Grinnell when nobody cared much one way or the other. Defeat Surprises Cyclones. The Cyclones had come to town apparently still intoxicated by the 31 to 6 drubbing they had given Iowa the week before and babbling incoherences about the Rose Bowl, the Big Six championship, and other things. What they babbled on the way ncme can oniy oe a matter of conjecture. While the Huakera were strengthening their hold on the Big Six diadem, a fierce battle was be ing waged at Lawrence where the Sooners and Jayhawkers fought to a draw. Benny Poynor, Oklahoma halfback, shot off tackle and con cluded a 40 yard jaunt in the end zone to produce one marker. Beede Long booted the point, a snort aerial flurry, with George Hap good tossing 50 yards to Mane Stukey, was good for the Kansas score, Tommy aictjbu Kooning the count from placement The game was bitterly contested throughout Tulsa Downs Wildcats.

The Missouri Tiger spent Satur day afternoon having its claws trimmed in Chicago after having scored first on the Maroons, touted Big Ten title contenders. Having gone without a single touchdown since Oct. 31, 1933, the Carideomen fought second string Chicago for wards off their feet to score early in the game when Tommy Flinn, Maroon safety, fumbled a punt on his own three yeard line, and Dale Ream, Tiger lineman, pounced on it. Clark Shaugnessy rushed his first string performers into the fray, and, led by Jay Berwanger, they managed to score twice in the last quarter after having been badly scared for three long periods.

Offensively, lefen sively, in all phases of the game, he shines as the Huskers star, not noticeably to the fans gathered on sides of the stadium, for his is the un shining stardom. EAT AT MRS.

Hysterical thousands spent an other Saturday afternoon shiver ing or sweating in the nation's stadia as undefeated teams were trounced, championship aspirants installed in strategic positions, traditional battles waged, and kisses offered for touchdowns. Cinematic grid stars have al ways been rewarded for touch down runs with the caresses of the fairest of the campus coeds, but it remained for Bette Davis, blond screen star, to transfer this de lightful custom to a real game. Her alma mater, Cushing academy was battling a traditional rival, Deerfield Academy, In Ashburn ham, Mass. Cushing won 34 to 0, two of the boys collecting two kisses apiece. Deerfield gridders were feeling very unhappy Satur day night Minnesota's gridiron juggernaut rolled onward towards a mythical national championship before 82, 000 Homecoming Day fans at Iowa City, compiling 595 yards from scrimmage and soundly drubbing Iowa's pretentious Hawkeyes 48 to 12.
