Saturday.
rSiORT
j Static I
Pittsburgh has come and gone,
but the Panthers tore many sad
rents in the Scarlet and Cream.
But that just eouldnt be helped.
Nchraska's gTidsters gave every
thing they had. They pushed and
fought and strived for the victory,
hut their efforts seemed puny be
side the great, overpowering jug
gernaut that was Pitt. The Panth
nrs have everything speed, pre
cision, the man power necessary to
make a great football team. And
last Saturday they had an over
abundance of these. Pitt probably
hit their top stride when they came
Lo the prairie lands to meet their
familiar foes, the Cornhuskers.
The Panthers probably played the
best brand of football they have
shown all year, and that brand of
football was much more than the
Huskers could match.
Three years of playing football
together for nine of those eleven
runipant Panthers did much to
mahe the final score what it was.
Their actions were timed with a
certainty and precision gained only
through long, continued practice.
Their blocking and tackling was of
the brand not learned in a day, it
was not apprentice work -it was
master craftsmanship in the art
ol football. It was this master
craftsmanship, this near perfect-
ness that shook a dark haired i
youth Mick Nicksick by name j
into the clear and over the goal j
line four times. Nebraska men
tried. They did their best, but it j
was a case of journeymen trying
to match the work of experts. The i
Nebraska boys know football. They
know their fundamentals, they can i
get by their opposition with flying I
colors, true, they made mistakes,
Jots of them, but they are cor- ,
rected, and they very rarely led to
serious results. But Saturday they
met an outfit that didn't make mis
takes. They were gTade "A" pupils
in the arts arts of blocking and
tackling: and in teamwork. Eleven
men, acting as one single unit, a
unit that was perfect in its
achievements, that's what beat Ne
braska last Saturday.
The Huskers played good foot
ball. They played as well as they
did in previous contests, and won.
But here was a case where their
best wasn't good enough, the other
boys were too much better. That
big white line in front of them had
speed and power. It swept the
Huskers down again and again.
The backs back of that line was
composed of four plungers, dodg
ers, twisters, four men who just
couldn't be held in check. Goliath
was too powerful tor Liaviii. The
I flood from the Kastern highlands
completely engulfed the plains oi
j Nebraska.
j Pitt's team Saturday was prob
ably the best Jock Sutherland has
I brought west with him for a gTeat
number of years, perhaps ever.
That team had two of the finest
guards seen in Memorial stadium
Hartwig and Ormiston. and two
great backs Weinstock and Nick
sick. Those four men played the
major part of the victory, the first
two clearing the way, the latter
making the yardage.
Pitt dropped one game this year
to Minnesota. That same team
of Gophers beat Nebraska. What
a game it must have been when
Pittsburgh's and Minnesota's pow
erhouse rolled into action! When
Weinstock and Kostka, Nicksick
and Lund, Ormiston and Eevans
faced each other on the greens
ward. Minnesota's power won, but
Pitt was not disgraced, just de
feated. If the two were to meet
again, the winner might be a dif
ficult one for students of gridology
to select, and come out right.
Tuesday was a tiny of work
for Dana X. Bible's Cornhusk
ers. Willi Kansas looming for
mutably next Saturday, the
coaching masters put their
pupils through a long afternoon of
scrimmage. The boys who saw
action in the Pittsburgh invasion
spent their time in dummy scrim
mage, first against the nubbins
and then the frosh, but real scrim
mage against freshmen and "B"
was the order given out to the
reserves.
Three shifts were apparent in
the lineup, and may be very no-
1936 Olympics Hare
liaskethall as Seic
Smrt for Contest
LAWRENCE. Kas., Nov. 13.
Following announcement from Ber
lin, Germany, that basketball ha
been added as a contest spott for
the 1936 Olympics, Dr. F. C Allen,
director of athletics at the Univer
sity of Kansas, and chairman of
the Olympics committee of the Na
tional Association of Basketball
Coaches, and of the national rules
body, said some modification of
present rules might be necessary in
order to equalize play in the inter
national competition.
The Japanese, for example, are
so short of suture that they would
have hard going against an Ameri
can team of 6-footers.
Dr. Allen, who has been working
for six years or more to have bas
ketball recognized as an Olympic
sport, and received word ol the
adoption because of his position on t
the national organizations, sug
gests that perhaps the 12-foot bas
ket might serve to equalize playing
conditions. With the basket 12 feet
above the floor, instead of the cus
tomary 10, all player3, tall and
short, would have to arcn ineir
shots.
Rules under which the American
team will be selected will be ar
ranged by the A. A. U., as for
other forms of competition. Dr. Al
len said.

offside. He immediately threw an
other pass down the same groove,
it was good for the same yards.
Then a couple of line plays and
the fifteen yard run for the first
score.
tieeable when the team takes the
field at Lawrence. At the left
halfback post vacated by Johnny
Williams was Bob Benson, the
Pender speed king, who reeled off
15 vards around end against Pitt
on his first try. By his fine de
fensive work, Ray Toman earned
a starting position at an end post,
and has been named captain for
the Kansas tilt t oman scored
Nebraska's only touchdown last
Saturday on a pass, and led up to
the score at Oklahoma by snaring
one of Chief Bauer's tosses. Glen
Skewes has been promoted to a
starting berth as a result of his
fine punting and defensive work
against the Panthers,
Johnny Williams was the only
Husker on the casualty list, attend
ing Tuesday's scrimmage with a
pair if crutches. The torn liga
ments in his instep may keep him
out of the Jayhawk conflict in
which case Benson will hold down
left half.
Brill Stars in Scrimmage.
Despite the congiamoration of
backs which D. X. Bible put on the
field, it was a freshman who stole
the show of the scrimmaging.
Neither team scored, altho several
nice gains were made thru the line
and around the ends, but it was
Harold Brill, the freshman guar-1
terbac.k from Norton, Kas who
provided the sparkle and dash, j
running, punting, and returning :
punts. Three times he kicked out- :
side within the twenty and twice I
very close to the varsity 10-yard
line from beyond midfield.
He snagged one of Sam Francis -j
punts and scampered twenty-five
yards before he slipped and was
brought down, and on one occasion
reeled off forty-five yards on a
cutback thru the line. His efforts
availed nothing, however, for the
varsity immediately tightened up,
and held the freshmen for downs,
taking the ball.
Offensively, the varsity centered
its efforts around Ralph Elrdridge,
flying blonde from Norfolk. Behind
the almost perfect interference of
his mates , Eldridge scooted thru
the frosh left tackle and down the
field forty-five yards before Brill
brought him down. On several
other occasions he hit the frosh
line for gains of from five to ten
yards. The freshmen didn't seem
able to pierce the varsity line save
on one or two occasions, and spent
most of their offensive time kick
ing to the Reds. But Harold Brill's
punts were sailing outside where
they did the varsity the least good,
and provided no chance for run
backs. The varsity outplayed their op
ponents, both when the frosh op
posed them and when the nubbins
took up the task. Nothing of bril
liance resulted when the latter
took the field, as falling night
made players indistinguishable.
Win Over Washington Gives
Kansas Thoughts ot
Taming Huskers.
LAWRENCE, Kas., Sept 12.
Heartened by the victory over
Washington last Saturday, 13 to 0,
yet chastened by the big advances
the Washington backfield was able
to mhke, the University of Kansas
football team faces the Nebraska
classic Saturday with hope and a
measure of confidence,
Nebraska has been the Big Six
champion five out of the six years
of the conference. (Kansas led in
1930.) Moreover, the Cornhuskers
have a long record or victories
over Kansas, and it has become al
most a tradition for Nebraska 10 i
win.
Kansas' season's reecrd includes
one conference loss, and two tied
games, with nonconference com- !
petition split two victories, a loss j
and a tie. Nebraska has won both i
its conference games and two non
conference, but has lost two non-confei-exice
contests, one to Minne
sota and the other, last Saturday,
to Pittsburgh, 25 to 6.
Thus the stage is set for a close
ly contested game for the Kansas
homecoming, which will bring the
editors of Kansas to a conference
and the game, and thousands of
alumni. Homecoming activities will
stait Friday afternoon, and the
game is set for 2 p. m. Saturday.
The Kansas team at St Louis
Saturday demonstrated a scoring
ability when a drive was once
started, and the defense to with
stand powerful Washington drives.
Brown and Droke of the Bears
were elusive runners and extreme
ly hard hitters when they had the
ball. In the third period, Kansas
had a Jot of practice on pass de
fensive when Washington tried the
air at least a dozen times.
Hapgond, who made both Kansas
touchdowns, carried the ball thir
teen times lor 65 yards and Bob
White made 25 yards in five at
tempts. Stufcey. Dec-key, Kell and
O'Nesmith each added his share in
the yardage, and Stukf y and O'Ne
smith did the punting for Kansas.
Hapgood had beautiful interfer
ence both times he crossed the
goal line on the run. He paved the
way for the first touchdown with
a pass to Ole Nesmith that was
called back because Kansas was
