SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1936. THE DAILY NEBKASKAN FIVE Huskers Lead Circuit with Sooner Win ANDREWS RUNS 66 YARDS, CARDWELL KIS: 14-0 Huskers Tally in First Half; Reserves Play Final Quarto Well. By Morris Upp. With the Big Six conference leadership, and perhaps champion ship, the victor's spoil, Nebraska and Oklahoma fought out their 16th annual game before a record crowd of 25,000 grid fans who saw Coach Dana X. Bible's Corn hukers retain their crown from the des perate clutches of the Sooners. Final score was Nebraska 14, Oklahoma 0. The Huskers made their power felt in the first half when ILOYD CARDWELL From Sunday Journal and Ktar. Sam Francis hurled a 25 yard pass to Lloyd Cardwell for the first touchdown and whan Harris An drews sprinted 66 yards down the sidelines for the second counter Francis made both extra points by piacekicks. From then on, the game was iced. Oklahoma threatened with its aerial attack, but Nebraska in terceptions terminated the Sooner auacK. Jt was rough gome on land for the Oklahomans, because they couldn't find a hole in Ne braska s forward wall, and they nart to resort to the air lanes. Huskers Open Drive. Nebraska launched an offensive drive in the opening quarter which resulted in the initial touchdown after the game had been under way for 5 minutes and 45 seconds. Francis kicked off and Merrell re turned to the 25 but the Sooners received the first of many penal ties for holding. Hewes punted to Cardwell who advanced to the 49. McDonald, Francis and Cardwell brought the ball to the 38 in a series of line plays, but Merrell intercepted Francis' long flip on the 8. Hewes immediately punted back to Card well on the Oklahoma 45. Francis and Douglas made 15 in line smashes. A lateral from Cardwell to Howell brought the ball to the 22. Douglas added 5 in two line p 1 u n g.e s McDonald's pass to Howell fell incomplete. Francis faded back and passed to Cardwell in the end zone who scored the initial Husker tally. Francis booted the ex tra point place kick. Score: Nebraska 7, Harris Andrews From Sundny Journal and Star. Oklahoma 0. Sooners Don't Click. Oklahoma took the kickoff that followed, but the Sooner offense failed to click, and Howell nabbed a Sooner toss on the Oklahoma 45. Francis took over the ball toting duties as well as the passing, but his pass to Cardwell in the end zone was mussed up by Conkright. Second quarter saw "Bo" Hewes punt to Andrews in the safety po sition who fumbled on the 5. Young recovered for Oklahoma on Nebraska's 15, giving the Soon ers the first break of the game. But their drive was halted when Ken McGirnis intercepted Mer rell's pass on the 13 and took it to the 15- Sooners Often Offside. Francis was the ball-carrier in the next series of plays which were helped by two Oklahoma off side penalties. Giving the ball to Douglas and Andrews, Francis helped advance the bal Ito the Oklahoma 41, but fumbled and Smith topped the ball for Okla homa. When the Sooners did get the ball in their possession, Ne braska's forward wall wouldn't let them do much, and it was up to Hewes to punt. Harris Andrews, substituting for r " ' 1 I Cardwell, was given the ball in the next Husker play and, streak ing up the sideline, ran 66 yards from the Nebraska 34 for the scc and and final Cornhusker counter. Fine blocking paved the way for the long sprint. Francis made the extra point conversion with six minutes left in the quarter. Score: Nebraska 14, Oklahoma 0. Andrews Ran 66 Yards. Breeden and Merrell opened an extensive aerial attack that was terminated by Bob Mills on Ne braska's 37. Nebraska lost the ball on downs when Douglas and I'Yancis failed to make the neces sary ten yards in line smashes. In the closing secor.-Js of the half, Breeden began throwing passes all over Owen Field but no receiver was able to catch them. And that was that. The second quarter was minus the "razzle dazzle" that the Huskers displayed in the first half. Cardwell, tTan cis and Douglas bore the ball bearing duties for the Huskers, while Breeden, Hewes and Baer worked in vain for the Sooners- Husker Reserves Play. Right after the final quarto opened, Coach Dana X. Bible sent in his entire reserve eleven against a despondent and weary bunch of Oklflhomans The insertion of the second-stringers proved to be a cheering note to tne XNeorasKa coaching staff. Not only did the roservps hold Ihe Sooners. but they backed them up against their own goal posts in some or me finest defensive work ever shown by a reserve aggregation. Weather Is Ideal. An overcast sky was the set ting for Saturday's game, which was perfectly agreeable to the Huskers. It was Dads' Day in Soonerland, a large turnout en livened Owen Field, and the last team to beat the Scarlet and Cream gridders from Nebraska back in 1920 were special guests of honor at the contest, but even their presence along with the high running spirit of the Norman campus wasn't enough to turn the tide away from the Huskers. Nebraska outdid Oklahoma in every aspect of the game, with the exception of penalties. Okla homa was being penalized thruout the game especially for being off side. A reason for this might be that the Sooners were so keyed up and anxious that they rushed in before the ball was snapped. Cardwell, who was slightly in jured and was replaced by An drews, performed quite excellent Saturday all the time that he was in the tilt. Andrews made up for a bad fumble by racing 66 yards for the second tally. Francis was the backbone of Nebraska's back field and his powerful line plunges kept most of the action in the Sooners' half of the field. Cardwell, Mehring Hurt. In Nebraska's line Bob Meh ring went out of the game in jured, but he more than accounted for himself when he was "in," and Game Captain Ken McGinnis, Fred Shirey. Lea McDonald, Ted Doyle and Charley Brock played a bang-up battle. Brock showed the Sooners how a prospective all-Amcrican center plays foot ball. Bill Conkright, 190 pound Tulsa senior, was the outstanding Okla homa lineman. Conkright was tho Sooner center who figured in every play that went thru the center of the line. Pete Smith ana Walt Young did well at the flanks for Oklahoma. Captain Elmo "Bo" Hewes, Bill Breeden, Jack Baer and Webber Merrell were the big four in the Sooner backfield who kept the Ne braskans on their toes. Hewes punted his eleven out of mnny a difficult hole. Breeden and Baer showed fine passing ability while Mcrrell's ball running netted sub stantial Sooner gains. Floyd Lochner, Oklahoma cham pion long-distance runner, won the two mile cross-country race be tween halves. His time was 9:39.5. In point compilations Oklahoma gathered 32 while Nebraska made 23.

E OF '36 INCREASES ELEVEN PERCENT Associated Press Survey Shows Largest Gain In Southwest. By Joe Zelley. "Happy days are here again!" That laconic statement is made in reference to this year's foot ball attendance at the various col lege and university stadia. Incre dible as it may seem to many peo ple, a recent survey conducted by the Associated Press shows an 11 percent increase in gridiron at tendance over last season. Every sector of the country par took of this augmentation, with the single exception of the far west. The most noticeable increase took place in the south and south west. According to this poll, mem bers of the southwest conference recorded a gain of about 43 per cent and the south picked up a 37 percent increase. Coach Dana X. Bible's highly rated Cornhuskers drew some 60,- 000 fans in their home duels against Iowa State and Indiana. Last year at this time, the Husk ers attracted 56,703, according to the survey. With the Pittsburgh cmbroglio soon to transpire at Me morial stadium, Nebraska atten dance figures should be greatly distended as the Panthers of Coach Jock Sutherland are known to be magnets for packing grid follow ers into stadia. Pitt Crowds Large. While on the subject of Pitts burgh, let's see how many pigskin fans have turned out to watch them in action. In their first three home meets, the bubs from the smoke-coated metropolis played before 61,000. The Panthers en gaged Coach Elmer Layden's Notre Darners yesterday before a con jectured gathering of 60,000. In the roiddlewest, rendezvous of such formidable elevens as Ohio State, Notre Dame, Minnesota, Purdue, Nebraska and Indiana, the turnstiles at the different sta dia recorded a 15 percent rise in football fans. Minnesota, rated No. 1 in national ranking and one of the Cornhuskers' chief foes, lured more than 90,000 grid addicts to its two home battles. ; South Enjoys Boom Year. j Duke, Louisiana State, Alaba ma and Georgia Tech have marked up the most substantial increases in Dixieland. Moving southward, we come to the haunts of Texas, Southern Methodist, and Texas A. & M. All of these institutions are enjoying a boom year in football gatherings, with Texas A. & M., the school that sent Mentor Bible to Nebraska, setting the pace. Thus far your sports scribe has presented only the sunny side of the picture and has totally failed to depict the morose angle of at tendance numbers. Notre Dame, New York university, Yale, Ford ham, Princeton, California and U. C. L. A., all powerful outfits, have noticed a slight decrease in grid followings at their home games. This drop can be accounted for without much ruminating on the part of the curious "want to know it alls." Inclement weather has been the chief cause for this loss PAirnci'LAi; CLEANING!

GRID ATTENDANG while the scheduling of teams with lesser box office appeals can be stated as the other reason. All in all, most of tho colleges and universities are having a ban ner season in regard to football attendance. Here at Nebraska the grid gatherings have elated the athletic director as well as the business manager to Ihe utmost satisfaction. With the carding of three Big Ten teams - Minnesota, Indiana and Iown on the home field for 1937, the congregations at Nebraska's football wars should grow by unrestrained leaps and baunds.
