THE DAILY NERRASKAN THREE SQUAD READY FOR LONG TREK WEST TO OREGON COAST Douglas Scores Second Husker Touchdown in 40-0 Win Ov er K-Ags Thirty Gridmen Chosen for Final Trip; Beaver 'Sophs' Gain Experience from Campaigns of l-ast Year, When Downed by Scarlet. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1936. Promise of a long westward sojourn to tackle Oregon State, one of the west coast's best srrirl elevens, and to enjoy Thanksgiving vacation sightseeing between Lincoln and Port land has served to make the Cornhuskers turn out en masse for the first, of a two day "at home" practice. lit will be a fitting reward forO the squad of Scarlet and Cream atcrs who have passed thru five conference games without being scored upon or tied, dropping con tests to Minnesota and Pitt after some plucky stands. The Oregon State battle next Saturday will be the grand finals for eight Husker seniors, six of whom are slated to open the game. After viewing the motion pic tures of the Kansas State-Nebraska scorefest with considerable en thusiasm, Coach Dana X. Bible led the Huskers out into the nippy November air to run thru a short practice session Monday. It. was the first real Monday practice of the season, due to the fact that the Cornhuskers have only one more day of practice on Memorial sta dium sod. Practice Until Dark. Darkness came before Coach Bi ble called a halt to some punting, passing, blocking and running practice. There wHsn't any heavy scrimmage, but Tuesday's session calls for a long afternoon of scrim mage against the frosh who will use Beaver plays and formations for the benefit of the Huskers. All frosh gridders are supposed to be on hand to give the varsity a real sendoff in the form of plenty of rough work. Coach Bible has named a squad of 30 who will make the long Tort land trip, leaving Lincoln Wednes day morning. With every regular coming thru the K-Aggie tilt in good shape, Coach Bible is plan ning on starting the varsity eleven, which will find Les McDonald and Virgil Yelkin at ends, Ted Doyle and Fred Shirey at tackle3, Lowell English and Ken McGinnis at guards, Charley Brock at center, uAs We See ?Em" by Morris Lipp Startling revelations gleaned from the slow motion pictures of the Kansas State-Nebraska game: Bob Mehring, scrappy little left guard who weighs about 12 stones, must hve thought he was in the boxing ring... he and his Wildcat opponent were really trading punches. . .Referee Qulgley ejected Mehring from the game for illegal u.ie of his elbow, but behind Meh rlng's disqualification we put a big question mark . . . Finest bit of blocking we've ever seen was what Mr. Charley Brock, this depart ment's nomination for any and all "all-thls or all-that" elevens, napped the ball back from cen ter to Johnny Howell, rushed out to lead Howell as an interferer, passed up one Wildcat because he aw that the Cat couinn i reacn Howell, and executed a perfect bodv block on another 'Cat to eliminate the last haiard in Howell's touchdown, which was the second of Johnny's high school and collegiate football career. . .

No Husker game is complete without Mention of Sam'l Francis who punted and passed the Cornhusk ers to victory, shining as a ball toter in terrific line plunges and defensive fullback who took part in every tackle behind the line of scrimmage.

We'd like to Just Insert the Cornhusker tarting linup, but during the fill eempjurn we've seen tone other conference playert who teem to have an edge. We'd like to pick 'em scientifically using our and the auartet of Johnny Howell, Ron' Douglas, Lloyd Card well and Game Captain Sam Francis in the backfield. Considerable rivalry has sprung up between Ken McGinnis and Gus Peters for the right guard berth. McGinnis, senior regular, lias been getting the call all season with Pe ters a close second. Elmer Dohr mann hus been giving Yelkin plenty of competition at. right flank, and the battle is nip and tuck between Lowell F.nglish and Boh Mehring for left gunrd. Beavers Gain Experience. Ed Weir, frosh coach and Ne braska scout, watched Oregeon State tie Stanford two weeks ago and reports that Lonnie Stiner's Beavers have plenty on the ball. Saturday, the Beavers blanked the Oregon Ducks 18 to 0, and it was redheaded Joe Gray, brilliant Beaver halfback, who led the touchdown parade. Last year Ne braska took a 26 to 20 decision over the Beavers who were then a "sophomore" ball club. Those soph omores now have another year of real experience, and nothing would please Coach Stiner more than to defeat his alma mater. Nebraska's roster: Bark: Bill Andrson. Pr;nvil1.

Bible will take a great squad to Portland. Losses to Minnesota and Pitt blurred the Husker records, but the west coast is expecting a real battle from the lads of the corn-belt, who have done so nobly in their own region, winning every conference game while the rivals failed to cross the Husker goal line. It was the 40 to 0 shellacking that the Huskers imposed upon the Manhattan Wildcats that firm ly entrenched the Scarlet in first place berth.

Records pa lore had been etallislicd when the final barked in Memorial stadium Saturday afternoon after Huskers had throttled the "Wildcats 40 to 0. Record No. 1: Llovd Cardwell 's recovery of a free ball resultant touchdown put him on list in Big Six conference. Pre-o viously, Howard Cleveland, Kan sas State, held the record with 37 points, but Cardie's six points swelled his total from 38 to 42. Record No. 2: Back in 1928 the Cornhuskers set a record of total points scored against Big Six riv als. The '28 outfit rolled up 100 points while their foes made 6. Ne braska in 1 936 had amassed 94 points before the Wildcat taming, and with 40 additional points, an other conference record fell. Ne braska now holds 134 points and no Big Six foe has crossed the Husker goal line Ncbraskans, champions, undefeated, untied and unscored upon.

Being pressed by I we hereby offer one free labso Robinson, another Kansas State lutely fi re minus mailing charge I trackster. both of Coach Schulte lads were forced to give everything they had in the way of track prow ess and stamina. Fred Matteson, senior from Sutton, was given eighth place; last year Fred fin ished 12th, and so it can be dis cerned that he bettered that per formance by quite a margin. James Knight and Fred Koch, two of Preceptor Schulte's up and coming marathoners, did not fare Ladly for their initial attempt in a meet which was studied galore with veteran jaunters. With more seasoning, both of them can be banked on to make the conference brethren take consideration of their two-mile track potentialities. On March 6, Pa Schulte's cham pion indoor track and field squad will be called upon to defend these honors, as the conference meet will be held on that date at Columbia, Mo. Last season the Schulte coached team was given heaps of competition by the other schools before they finally garnered the title. The Indoor dual meets among the Big Six schools are slated to be. gin the first week of February or thereabouts. As yet the schedule has not been drawn up, but in a few weeks it should be ready for release. Last season the Huskers participated in two contests and won both of them Kansas and Kansa State.

The accurate check of attendance will be re vealed by Business Manager John K. Selleck at the first of the week. Minor records: Excepting a 59 to 0 lacing the Huskers gave the Wildcats in 1911 when relationship was first assuried, Saturday's score was the highest in the sn nals; Kansas State's worst licking came Saturday and Nebraska's highest scoring of the year's games resulted.

Hale Lead Mates In 42-20 Victory on Maple Arena. BY ED STEEVES. In a slow starting basketball fray, the varsity five blanketed the second string with a smother ing avalanche of points last night 42-20. All through the fracas errors frequented the play, but second half action advanced into rally torm to have both sides cruising in full form. One casualty occurred as Bob Elliott, a West Toint sophomore, broke his toe in a defensive leap against a brick wall of the coli seum. Elliott has been one of the most promising upcomers of the squad thus far this season. The accident should not keep him out of togs nor action for more than a week. From the opening tipoff until way into second quarter play Bob Parsons whs the only man that seemed at home on the end of the sphere. In fact. Parsons looms as a Big Six leader this season, play ing better ball with each scrim mage. His total for the evening was eleven points with only Hale topping him for high honors with thirteen. i Boys Drag This Week, "The boys looked extra good last week."
