THREE YES, SOMETHING WAS INDEED WRONG. But Hunker Fans Mustn't Be Too Critical. BY ARNOLD LEVIN. I was sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, about noon. An ine briate across the aisle eyed me coldly and blared: "Betcha Nebraska wins." "No go," said I. I expected Ne braska to win. One of the former's cohorts took up the cry. "Betcha $10 Cardwell makes a touchdown." I was noncommlttally silent. I expected Cardwell to make a touchdown. "Betcha $10 LaNoue makes a touchdown." Of course LaNoue would make a touchdown. Who didn't know that? Maybe two or three of them. Later that sunshiny Kansas aft ernoon, 1 think it was about four thirty, I wondered if silence were golden. And decided it wasn't If you could only make yourself be lieve that you always picked 'em wrong. ' WRENCH IN THE WORKS. Something was wrong with the Cornhuskers who met Kansas State on Ahearn field Saturday. They weren't at all the Cornhusk ers who battled Minnesota 12 to 7 the previous week end. That team fought, tried, gave their all in foot ball effontery. But the Cornhusk ers Saturday didn't fight. Not the way Nebraska teams usually fight. They didn't put up the spirited battle, the do-or-die, the never-given-ness that characteriz ed past Nebraska Big Six champs elevens. They seemed weak and in effectual, especially offensively. They were brilliant twice both when not to have done so would be to court defeat. That was when the Wildcats were on the 1-yard line and again on the 6. Then the Scarlet showed red, burned, flam ed, glittered menacingly as those oiovon men became a hard-knit, compact unit that took everything Kansas State had 10 oner anu men the ball. OFFENSE? WHERE? The defense at times was bril liant. But the offense in the wmrrts of the German philosopher, "Pfui." Nebraska couldn't get to first base, didn't threaten once something unprecedented for the Biblemen against conrerence oppo nents. The interference was atro ciously poor. On only three or four ' plays during the day did a white helmeted lugger have help from his mates in moseying around end or thru tackle. Those vaunted run ning plays with Wild Horse Card well in the saddle were dropped colder than last year girl-friend. Cardy found himself surrounded by six men practically every time he carried. Only difficulty was that those six wore the Kansas State Blue and Gold. Something important was lack ing in the Scarlet eleven. Maybe it was because Kansas State was too highly pepped for this one game remembered this is the classic on their schedule. Maybe the heat took the starch out of the Nebras kamen. Maybe it was a natural, expected let-down after the ter rific Minnesota struggle. All three played their part in the realization of that scoreless tie. Kansas State fans are more than satisfied. After holding Nebraska, they feel they can go on and win the Big Six. An unless Oklahoma is so far superior to all concerned that she's way beyond reach, they might. FANS GLOOMY. But Nebraska fans aren't satis fied. They wanted revenge for that licking last year. They wanted that Big Six title back again. They thought the Scarlet had a great team, and all harbingers pointed to it, and they came to Manhattan to see a near massacre. So they're disappointed, and unless I miss my guess they're going to howl plenty. According to the fans, our sea son is ruined. This team isn't so much better than last years. They're not a great outfit by any means and they put on a poor ex hibition of football. Interest has fallen considerably, and many wouldn't mind if we were defeated by Oklahoma. Some look forward expectantly to a Nebraska loss. Something's gone wrong some where. Just what it is neither I nor possibly anybody else can say, but something's gone wrong some where. Nebraska fans surrounding me at Manhattan were loud in their shouts for a Kansas State touch down and victory. Not for Nebras i.. u.. - tvm w.

Such hypocritical discrepancy on the part of Nebraska fans is atro ciously unnatural. Maybe the boys weren't doing their usual work on the field there were reasons for it.

The Nebraska team knew all these things, knew ana reit mem, m the fan shouldn't be too critical. The boys weren't their best, grant ed, but there are reasons for it, and good ones.

SOUTHERNERS LOOK GOOD HUSKERS WARY Tackle Harold Holmbeck to Captain Biblemen Saturday; Stadium Closes Tuesday in Honor of 'Doc' McLean, Beloved Deceased Trainer. As far as the Big Six conference is concerned, this Satur day afternoon should bring forth something very interesting, not to say significant in football circles. With all six teams mobilizing for battle, at one point or another on the conference trenches, the weekend promises to develop into probably the most crucial hour of the entire sea-o- son's campaign. At the top of the heap, Nebraska and Oklahoma, tied for first place, will draw headline attention among the midwestern fans. On the other fronts, Kansas opens its conference schedule against Kansas State at Lawrence, and Missouri tangles with Iowa State at Ames. And what's the dope on this Sooner-Husker battle? For the first time this season, an atmosphere of uncertainty and doubt, which may not be entirely without foundation, manifests it self in the Husker camp and among Husker followers. And the reason for the wrinkled brows sim mers down to one little, but at the same time, momentous Item Coach Lawrence M. Jones, better known as "Biff." Coach Bible packed up his wlng backery scholars last Saturday and marched them boldly into the den of the Wildcats to recite their lesson. He wasn't expecting an easy victory in fact, he was look ing for a strapping, scrappping, stiff arming, contest. But he could hardly have been prepared for the bombarding attack which newly arrived Wes Fry unfolded for his special observation. It was only by means of a dauntless goal line de fense that the Huskers managed to stave off two Wildcat rallies that seemed determined to roost the whole second half in the vicin ity of the Nebraska goal line. Sooners Tearing Along. Meanwhile, the Sooners, under the apparently irresistible leader ship of the also newly arrived Biff Jones, . were tearing ana ripping thru the Cyclones, finally ending up with a 20-6 victory. On the comparative basis of scoring, that should make Jhe Huskers and the Sooners about equal, since Nebraska trimmed Iowa State three weeks ago, 20-7. However, while Nebraska and the Cyclones fought it out on pretty nearly even ground as far as yardage and first down totals were concerned, the winning ways which Jones has apparently trans planted from Army and Louisiana State rolled up the amazing total of eighteen first downs to three for Iowa, more than 300 yards from scrimmage to something over 30 for the Cyclones. And so, for the first time, Corn husker followers are leaning anxiously on the doings of the Scarlet lads as they go about their practicing in Memorial stadium. OklahoVna looks like the goods to give the Huskers some very un comfortable moments as they go about the business of attempting to recapture the conference crown. Weekend Not So Good. Particularly so after the score less tie which Nebraska brought home Saturday night from the Kansas State gridiron fortress in Manhattan. Reviewing the game afterwards, one gets the impres sion that Nebraska played some very ineffective football all after noon. Obviously the Huskers had an off day. Certainly Minnesota took something out of them the Satur day before. Four hard games in a row more than likely was the main factor contributing to that score less tie, which Kansas State can certainly capitalize upon as a moral victory. But there's also no doubt that the Huskers did do some very poor blocking and tackling which can't be explained away. A dozen times the Wildcats broke thru and spilled the Nebraska ball carriers before it could even get started. More than once, Lloyd Cardwell and Jerry LaNoue started toward the goal but found that the Interfer ence wasn't there and a Haggles tackier was. And more than once Cardy himself missed blocks and tackles that might have changed the score and the entire criticism of the game. Not Beyond the 30. The Huskers didn't get beyond the instructor; any likely lad or lassie the pupil. Meeting time will be 7 p. m. Wednesday evening In Social Science auditorium.

Nebraska Typewriter Co. 130 No. 1 St. 8187 Faces the Kansas "State 29-yard line, while Wes Fry's pupils rode up to the one yard and the seven jjard lh.e on two scoring threats. Nevertheless, the Husker play wasn't all of It a drab, dismal af fair. There were several bright spots which deserve reward. While the Husker offense was completely outsmarted by the ball smashing of Leo Ayres, Red Elder and Ted Warren, a tricky, formidable pas sing attack that paved the way for the two Kaggle threats In the third quarter; and a horde of unexpected reserve strength that matched Ne braska's, a silver lining shone from beneath the clouds. Sam Francis' punts, the defensive play of Ken neth McGinnis and Johnnie Wil liams, at guard, and plucky Bob Mehring at center, and those two goal line stands were creditable salvages from the wreckage. Altho the Kaggies broke thru the line In the middle of the field to make tackles and more fre quently to make yards, there wasn't any of it in the Nebraska 10 yard area. Completed passes caught the Husker backs asleep and brought the ball In close for a killing punch, but the Wildcat ad vance stopped immediately thereafter.- After Johnnie Williams speared Wildcat End Hays on a sailing tackle two yards from the goal, Red Elder and Leo Ayres suddenly found themselves con fronted with an immovable stone wall. The Huskers demonstrated a second time in that same quarter that their backfield (Minnesota again), wasn't the only one incap able of crossing from the 5 yard area. However, if Cardy and Johnnie Williams and Jerry La Noue hadn't missed those tackles which they shouldn't have missed, there would have been no second occasion, and the Kaggie attempt for a field goal would not have missed completion by inches. Huskers Must Improve. Consequently, if Oklahoma's high flying eleven is to be deterred from its drive for the pennant, it will have to be an improved Nebraska team on Memorial stadium next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Cornhuskers will be in full strength again with the probable return of Chief Bauer. The regu lar quarterback post, altho filled capably by Sophomore Johnnie Howell, will be waiting for Bauer this Saturday unless his ankle fails again. There wasn't much doing in the Scarlet camp Monday. Picture re view of the Kaggie game occupied the period until 5 o'clock and a chalk session lasted another, half hour, so that outdoor practice was limited largely to a brief Umber ing up session. The stadium will be closed Tuesday7 in honor of Doc McLean, veteran trainer and an inherent part of every Nebraska team, who died Sunday morning. It was announced Monday that Harold Holmbeck, Beatrice re serve tackle, who has been coming to the front in the last two weeks, will captain the Husker forces against Oklahoma. Holmbeck didn't get into the game very much Saturday, but turned in an effec tive performance against the Gophm s two weeks ago.

Les cannot be defined as a mere football star, but only as an athlete In the very literal sense of the term. He par ticipates, and well, on the base ball diamond, the cinder track, the rolling fairways, the maple courts of the cage season, the clay courts of tennis, in the boxing and wrestl ing rings, and in the swimming pool. Even with this formidable list, MacDonald still confronted us with a sober face and said he had no hobby. As a secondary pastime, the fair flankman admitted that he liked the cinema and had no objections to feminine accompaniment. This grldder has lived one score and one years. Most of these were spent in Grand Island, Neb., where he took his preparatory course in athletics. Speaking ol scores, Mac has done more than his share in point making, one of the hi-lites of his career coming when he gathered in a long pass and scurried over the double stripe for a touchdown in last year's Iowa U struggle. Immediately following, he snagged another thus setting the pins for a second counter. Mac stands approximately six three (in his stocking feet and standing up) and weighs 191, yet he boastfully points one of his ten pass catching fingers Grand Is landward and tells us that he has a younger brother who can man handle him. The young MacDon ald plays tackle. Mac senior in tends to coach following gradua tion and will start his career at home on the young frere. In regard to last Saturday's skirmish, he 'offered no alibis but instead lauded the unexpected po tency of the Wildcat eleven. He attributed the downfall mainly to the two consecutive "tough ones." Next Saturday, he promises that the story will have an entirely different plot. Mac lifted the haze of mystery hanging over the scarcity of Don Juan gridders. "Football players just don't slip. he explained, "thev learn how to keep their heads on the football field. Any how I'm not engaged."

He was in a coma the last three or four days. Athletes, high school, college and professional, came from great distances to have "Doc" McLean caress their torn ligaments and mend their injured bones. A friend of all athletes, he has for many years gladly given healing treat ments to injuries that had been formerly considered Incurable. His unique ability became widely known thruout the midwest and during the last few years many requests were sent him for ap pointments. Only after he had at tended to the troubles of his own Cornhuskers would he give his time to outsiders. To the count less numbers of other athletes seeking treatments, he charged no fees. At Nebraska Since 1921. "Doc" McLean first became a member of the Nebraska training staff in 1921 when he replaced Jack Best. He has since cared for and made friends with all Nebras ka's athletes. Among his favorites were Roland Locke and John "Choppy" Rhodes. Locke, known as the Cornhusker comet, pre sented "Doc" with the first medal he ever won, which the trainer greatly valued. McLean was born in Louisville, Ky., 49 years ago. Following grade and high school he attended Notre Dame and John Hopkins each two years. For several years he was associated with state hospitals in New Jersey and Chicago. He came to Nebraska in 1915. In 1919 he became associated with the state hospital, serving as a hydro-therapist, which position he held to the time of his death. His wife pre ceded him in death a year ago.
