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

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.
