YESTERDAY
AFTEHNOON.
Yesterday afternoon the long
reigning "King Football" lost a
decisive decision and his crown to
Manager "Homer Fireside's" new
champ, Kid Rain. The knockout
blow came early in the day. It
came as a "hay maker," that is,
fine rains for the winter wheat.
For years (he common contro
versy has been, "how long can
Football continue to be king ? How
can such stamina persist after all
these years?"
Yesterday came the answer,
short and terse; Jupiter Pluvius,
known better as Kid Rain, licked
the old monarch and we now be
lieve he can do it any day in the
week.
All day Rain persisted and
poured in floods of blows until
Football, even with the help of
floating ribs, couldn't take it.
The end came with old King
Grid having only lb.OOO in the
stands and Rain having over
20,000 fans home munching on
fresh buttered popcorn, eating
home made fudge, and catching
up their toenail trimming.
It was interesting to watch
those who still followed the ex
champ. They waded into the sta
dium, rather hesitantly, and
about two at a time. Not until
after the game had progressed
some three plays did the spec
tators begin to crawl from their
protecting crevices to witness
the game.
Many Items Shelter Fans.
Then, we could see some of Pat
Pcnding's better inventions in ac
tion. First of all there was the
newspaper helmet that lasted some
three and a half minutes and then
leaked like a hole in a doughnut.
Cheer leaders hocked their room
mate's towels for headgears and
decked themselves out like Arab
sheiks. Girls stuck to the new fan
cied DuPont cellophane bonnets
that looked like, but kept the
moisture off the marcel.
Stocking caps and military top
pers were numerous. The most hos
tile of all comfort insurers was the
umbrella, during a long run or
brilliant play. More than one ocu
lar organ took a beating at the
mercy of the old pole and stay
contraption. Foresight honors go
to the Sooner coaches who had
themselves rigged out in firemen's
helmets. Both teams were well
sheltered from the drizzle. The
Huskers wore sheep skinned lined
and leatherized Dr. Denton affairs
that zippered down the front for
a quick change. Stidham's boys
stuck to a fabricated bathrobe cut
away, colored bright rose.
Stadium police headquarters
were an improvised tent made of
a piece of the well-used field cov
er. Little else can be said of the
game, played in the Memorial hog
wallow, except that if Kelly had
been in there he might have slid
to a touchdown.
Huskers' Harris Andrews loses
his appelation of the untidiest
player to Parks of Oklahoma who
greatly resembled Mother Goose's
"Tar Baby."
Calling
Cuss the flies pardon, I
mean ties!
Six of them yesterday put the
hectic gridiron world on a diz-zier-than-ever
merry-go-round.
Few brass rings were won, but
some of the high-riding elevens
drank deeply from the cup of
deadlock, marring their perfect
slates.
Stalemates of Saturday included
Navy 0, Harvard 0; Pitt 0, Ford
ham 0 (third consecutive season
of scoreless ties); U. C. L. A 7,
Oregon State 7; Texas A & M 7,
lexas inrisuan ; wasmngxon Y,
Washington Slate 7: and. of
course, Nebraska 0. Oklahoma 0.
Big Six competition found
Missouri losing to Michigan
State 2 to 0, Iowa State surpris
ing everyone by dropping one to
Kansas 14 to 6, and Kansas
state whitewashing Marquette
13 to 0. Iowa State was minus
the services of Everett Kischcr,
crackerjack junior halfback,
which may account partly for
the loss.
Minnesota jugged Michigan in
no uncertain manner 39 to 6, and
Bo MeMillin's Hoosiers celebrated
Homecoming with a sweet 13 to 6
victory over Illinois.

California stand out as the class
ier teams of the nation who have
their records unimpaired by any
losses or ties. Last week there
were 22 elevens with perfect rec
ords, including some of the lesser
lights in football.

seem to click. Started by a spinner
play in which Callihan plunged for
nine yards and a first down, the
drive was short lived and had
been stopped completely before
the Huskers had invaded danger

ball out of midfield to kill the
thrust.

The passing attack which the
Sooners were expected to show
failed to materialize, the ball
being too wet for accurate hurl

back, kept the Sooners out of scor

punting the water-logged pigskin
well out into the midfield terri

Merrell who was booting well
above average. The Sooner quar
terback got off several kicks that
were good for 55 and GO yards de
spite the wet ball.
The only long runs of the gamo
were turned in by Bill Callihan,
Husker fullback, who ran for 10
and 15 gains time after time off
a spinner play over center. Calli
han accounted for the majority of
his teams first downs.
John Howell regular quarter
